the stranger within I am the stranger inside this shell that lies wearily on the bed and finds no comfort I am the one whose sorrow surmounts the ability to cry I am the pain I am the stranger whose words need scream injustice but finds no tongue I am the stranger forced to live inside the minutes as the hours roll by my eyes stare into the emptiness that invades what is left of my sanity and I have to wonder what it would be like to step outside...

Corazon that will go away with the first deep meaningful kiss that covers your lips and the fire from that contact will melt that cold emptiness inside and turn it into a lust for life....remember these words... well done poem I was totally taken in by the content. |

So many of us have traces of these strangers within...very emotive writing, Corazon...thank you. ~ Claire Could a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other's eyes for an instant?......Henry David Thoreau |

damn girl!!!! powerful piece... i know that feeling sooooo well... can't wait for you to step outside either... let me tell you, the sun is shining once you open the door... there's nothing worse than feeling like "that stranger within" and as usual, your poetry brings chills up my spine with the truth of all you share. thank you for sharing this one...  ~ doreen ~ |

ethome...I hope you are right  thank youmeadowmuse, thank you, a compliment from you means much serenity...will give you hugs if this speaks to you, your heart must be heavy...but thank you for your kind words sudhir, thank you kind sir, your applause makes me smile doreen thank you, your understanding means I did it right course when I wrote this the "step outside" meant something darker, but monday morning finds me a bit more optomistic |
