9/11 Untitled Poem by Mikel Calcagno

Your heart beats black with deception
Until clarity took it's last breath
Turn the shadows to light
Buried beneath the ashes is a passion for life
There is no forever just today
So make it count before it ends
The only truth pulling words from my lips was
I loved only few and to lose YOU is to never love again
There's gasp of air around me, but no time to breathe
The sun falls through the clouds
Just another dark new day where the beginning of dawn is all we know
From sorrow to serenity I can see sublime in it's natural form
Our shattered hearts will heal if you let it
Forget the world if they only know you as a number and not a person
They cannot break these chains of faith
Anchor yourself to the foundation of everything you love
Cause it's the things you love that can only bind out the wrong and make you who you are

'It's been awhile since i wrote something with some meaning, well other than the fact that i lost my notebook with all my good poem and rants about life or me... but whatever... I guess it being september 11th and all I guess I adapted some sort of sympathy for those who died and lost loved... hope you liked it...'
