Raymond Yaris Poems

If tears could heal,
then you'd be healed by now...

If prayers were answers,
...

You could have been an artist
And played songs from your heart
You could have been a movie star
And inspired others wherever you are
...

There is a word that I'm longing for so much
There is a mystery and mystique everytime it beckons my ear
Whenever it lingers in my head
...

Darkness.. It fills my entire being..
with all my strength, I try as much to get loose from it.
I cant.
So I run.. for escaping it ain't easy.
...

Is there such a man that would kill
himself over and over again? ..
then why do I always shut myself from
the sunlight which brightens up my day?
...

As we walked through the bright lights of the mall
A fleeting moment suddenly enveloped me
Visions flew to and fro from my mind
It took me back again to my younger past..
...

3: 30 AM, wide awake.. thinking of you
sipping bitter coffee, sounds playin' on the radio
I'm missing you badly.. are you still there for me?
...

I want to be with you again… but I wish this time you’ll stay…
I want to see you again… but i want to touch you this time…
I want to hear you again… but I want to listen to you forever from now on…
I wish to see you smile… I want to drown in your laughter till I die…
...

Ever searched for something that wasn’t there?
Or found something that was gone?

Ever felt good about something bad?
