Stranger Poems
The Witness
by Author Reinvented
As I was lounging on my couch,
Re-reading tumblr posts from long before,
The came a knocking, firmly rapping,
And the dog went crazy at the door.
A flurry of fear went through me,
And I whispered " 'Tis but a parcel, nothing more."
But still the dog went on, ever yapping,
And I envisioned monsters of lore.

Stranger
by Samel Yugalin Emrys
Who is he, sitting alone and lost in thought,
Wandering all around, with no one in sight,
No shelter, no food, yet he stands tall,
Wearing clothes I've never seen before.
Every afternoon, I see him searching for food,
I wonder, was he born into this life,
Or was he made to be this way?
But surely, he must have been well before.

A Stranger in Foreign Lands
by Saleh Ben Saleh
I live among my very kind, equal in blood, but with a different mind. I always feel, I am alone, a tiny pebble in a pile of stone. Silent complaints and barren demands, I am a stranger in foreign lands.
Sleepless nights, wandering thoughts, entwined emotions of dreams I sought. Regions of sorrow and moments of pain, dark distant murmurs that drive me insane. Tearful eyes, and signs of fear, but in my nadir I must persevere.
On cold winter nights and in long summer days, I look for hope, in a praiseful phrase. Or a word of respect, once in a while, a cheerful laugh, or a comforting smile. A pat on the back, or a shake of the hand, signs of contentment that make me stand.
With a longing heart, I opened my eyes, and looked above, at the laden skies. I saw glimpses of memories, in a distant village, fading whispers and a shattered image. As clouds of emotions roamed high above, with the gusting wind I send home my love.

The Good-Spirited Stranger
by Michal Draker
It was a bright and sunny day,
the type that keeps the monsters at bay.
Although snowy and a little bit cold,
adventures waiting to carefully unfold.
Out there in the wildest nature,
you can meet the kindest stranger.
He is polite and he is always smiling,

The Stranger at the Door
by Author Reinvented
Knock, knock.
Who is standing at the door?
Rapping, tapping,
Footsteps on my kitchen floor.
Knock, Knock.
Don't be afraid.
I can hear your crying heart,
I know what scares you in the dark,
And I can make it fade.

Will you remember me...
by Raina Hutchins
I know I haven't seen you
I know we’re miles apart
I know I cannot hold you
But I feel you in my heart
Is it wrong to think of you
And you to think of me
Trying not to want
What we know can never be
