Yesterday's Heroes

Yesterday’s Heroes

This world is a kingdom for winners;
for losers, it holds no space;
whether they be saints or sinners;

A Realm Between

A Realm Between

I find myself in a realm between;
an experience most sublime;
in many ways; it’s like a dream;
its reality; a friend of mine.

I’ve traversed into a separate being;
where neither life nor death esists;

I am the love, you long to embrace;
