Your Hell
Poem By Calosha Gomes You can be my miracle or a curse You can be my miracle or a curse. And I get to pick what I am to you too. The power in that is more than you understand now. When it hits you, you’ll not know what knocked the air out of you,…

Chasing Nothing
Poem By Calosha Gomes I close my eyes and see green and smile in the distance; it’s not that far. I know I can walk closer to it. And when I touch it, I smile — it is my own shadow. This green has flowers all over, and it’s just me running, chasing nothing, just…

I Was Wrong

Pleasing Just To Lose
Poem By Calosha Gomes Fifteen minutes to go till I have to be something for others and it has started again. The being something for the whole world while the world chips away my innocence, how much till I finally say, No! It’s probably not today because I am all dressed up to please the…

I Made A List
Poem By Calosha Gomes I made my list, and you’re not on it— had me off guard, in this world of constant change and fragile life. No heart deserves being broken by a bunch of strangers. I’d live knowing you were one of those— strangers who cared less, just because you could. I made a…

My Match
Poem By Calosha Gomes My breath matches how I am, not missing a beat on anybody’s account. The discomfort is now fading as the heart is healing. My breath matches how I am, nothing to do with how it increases when I see you. I’m praying I won’t have to, ever again. You bet I…

Own Time
Poem By Calosha Gomes I chose my own time to get depressed, and then I chose my own time to visit nature — and to sleep in my same dreams. I just lost my second chance at the same dream, and I am grieving. So I leave myself alone with all the emotions. I walk…

The Faded Blue
Poem By Calosha Gomes The blue has faded, and I am out of your caring haze. I can finally see my refusal to accept that this has ended. My second chance at the same dream has left this ship. Now, I’ve landed at a new haven where I get to have my pick out of…

My Steel Heart
Poem By Calosha Gomes In steel with what I can only imagine was my fate to fall at the feet of something out I have only seen in action movies. I am breathless as I make my escape from a haunted dream or is it. My dreams keep getting short of real life. I have…

I Am Throwing A Kitchen Sink At It
I was in two places at once. The relief at a closing door and not having to be stuck in a revolving door for another moment. You can abandon me on a random street and see me find my way back — not to you. You will now see me find my perfect fit. The…

Locked Up
By Calosha Gomes The fresh air and open doors can’t make us feel free. That’s when we know the mind has locked up freedom in a box and decided we belong in it. Without even us realizing we are locking ourselves up. Out of all the days, today is the day we felt the most…

I Am, My Peace
By Calosha Gomes What brings you peace? Nature, would be the third one on my list of things that bring me peace. I look at the sky and take a deep breath every time I feel overwhelmed with different emotions. It happened a lot in the last few years. Looking at the sky always makes…

Calm In The Present
Poem by Calosha Gomes This heart needs its calmness to beat the same way, every day, just like today. It needs everything to fall into place, to complete its puzzle. Eyes closed, to see what’s beyond this horizon, from where the eyes can’t fathom. To the present, to make sense, the best is yet to…

Same Song
Poem by Calosha Gomes I am listening to the same song, one song that could turn the frown upside down, on a random morning and at midnight, that I can’t wait to get over. The one that got me, out of some rough patch, I never wanted to be in. One song, that has made…
