The Bold Stranger
by Nathaniel S. Soria 01/01/13 Today I decided to sit at the end of the subway, in hopes that being at the end of the 3 line, at the end of Brooklyn, by the end of New York (also known as East New York), no one would bother me. That I could spend the first day of my New Year in complete solitude, devoid of any human contact. What an impossible desire to have here in New York City. At the next...

The Long Road
Long Road you wind and weave,
Through valley and plain I see,
Abundant diversity in picturesque domain,
A gravity sailing from heart to brain.
I hear the tales of time bound friends,
Under a sunset before day’s end,
And with every succulent word they tell,
Of merriments found between heaven and hell.
I hear the crescendo, the shouts of red rocks high,
And the still small voice of...

The Cave
The cave is long and narrow,
The light thin but bright,
My legs grow tired with sorrow,
My arms shake with fright.
It’s easier to close my eyes,
Embrace the dark as friend,
But deep down inside rise I,
To take a step forward again.
A little closer and I might find,
Solace in light’s warm glow,
A future that’ll be more kind,
And a life beyond this woe.
Give me strength to be...
