What Next?



The constant riddles of passing life
The oceans calm seals the night
Memories of familiar lives
Flow freely throughout the concious light
The freedom beyond the clouds so near
Sheltered lives now full of fear
Reality shocked the mind now clear
The day passing life came so near
The helpless thoughts of life's new chapter
The fear behind each broken laughter
The questions eating each new lecture
What happens next? What's the future?
To win this war, this one for fact,
This one for justice, wealth or wrath
Is to remember love, it's here to last
Give it thought, Don't repeat the past!

Geni Kelepouris

I began writing when i was 16. I enjoy expressing myself through all forms of art ( my profile pic is one of my art pieces). I have had a life full of tragedies and suffer post traumatic stress. I find that art and writing soothes my soul and allows me to heal from all the pain that has been haunting me. I have an obsession with existence and love nothing more than to discuss all the different theories of why we are here. My poems cover a range of topics from love and inspiration to complete random mania. There are also some very deep poems that i needed to write to get the sorrow from my life. I just hope whoever is reading them enjoys them. more…
