collection of poems

By Maricel Hecimovich

The fog

Darkness lurks

As if the end is near

Don’t be alarmed

For hope is on the other side

Don’t let the fog fool you

For its purpose is to deceive

Know that

In your heart, the truth lies

Through the fog

The heart will lead

But only if you let it

her Beauty

Unknown to her

An inherited beauty, gifted by God

Hidden behind a crooked smile

Forgotten in time

Through the bitterness of the world

Her beauty is rediscovered

Stronger than ever

Her beauty shines now

From the inside out

Her beauty

Staring back at you now

Mine

I’m greedy

I’m Selfish

But Grateful

This Energy is mine

Purified by the divine

It belongs to no one, but me

I guard it with my life

Because it is all I have

My eternal lifeforce

So, yes…

I am greedy

I am selfish

But always grateful

time

It exists, but not in my world

For it is constricting

And binding

It is an illusion

Unrecognizable by the soul

So, tell me…

What has this illusion done for you?

Nothing.

solitude

It’s lonely

It’s not lonely

It’s bitter

It’s not bitter

Not easy, oh, but it is

Twists and turns

So much agony

Alas, it’s the only answer

To my grieving soul

In solitude

I am whole again

mirror souls

Your eyes…

They burn my soul

Memories of past lives

Come rushing in

I know you…

I’ve seen you…

My human mind…

Overwhelmed

Excited

Everything all at once

What are you?

Who are you?

I am you.
