You got alot of nerve, stirring up mess

Churning emotions til they fester and burn

Wrecking havoc, thriving in your habitual habit

Unconcerned with the environment, leaving it in misalignment 

Antagonized by your exasperation

Declared our common enemy out of correlation

To fan out the flames of your generation

I can’t give up my joy 

The people who surrounded me 

With bad intentions 

Couldn’t hold up the charade that they felt joy when I succeeded 

Are deleted, blocked , ignored

I’ll never see them across my screen , my mind, in my sight

Because once I know we’re not aligned 

What’s the purpose of having you near?

So you can rejoice?

About me stubbing my toe

God presented me with a gift,

I looked at it and was surprised.

This item I couldn't manage to lift

Before I could anything realize.

Early in the morning, I made my plans.

But vanity decided to break intention.

My hopes went away with the vans.

And the prices they didn't mention.

I was quick at twenty, thirty, and so on.

Offensive words flew with such speed

Sweeping away everything in their way.

Only tears and hurts could my heart feed.

I was like a rusty anchor in the sea-bay.

"We won't see each other"- I've heard.

These were his last the cruelest words.

I wanted to howl like a wolf in the forest.

At that time even the sun was the borest.

Those words like the knives cut...

It’s frustrating being a generational curse breaker 

Ion got nobody to look up to 

I’m on this back breaking, google searching “do I need a co-signer?” journey alone 

I can’t stand that I don’t have a reliable person to lean on 

Was I born just for the cute baby pictures and outfits that people love?

Building my yellow brick road brick by brick 

Making sure every brick I lay is perfectly aligned

Polished and shined according to my divine self 

I take care of my road because who else ? 

Will put the time, effort and care into building me 

Each step I take the first brick I put into place gets further away 

It’s a bitter sweet scene all the love and hardships I put into that fi...

every morning,
a parade of perfect lives,
smiles meticulously adjusted,
breakfast that looks more like a work of art,
but deep down,
it's just granola and a desperate hunt for likes.

people transform into characters,
each post a script,
each photo a scene,
life in shining squares
where reality dissolves like sugar in water.

She was poetry, a dance in the air
Moving lightly, like a verse floating there
Hair in the wind, unpretentious lines
Her smile illuminated cloudy times
He, a simple man, lived raw prose each day
With calloused hands, unaware of the way
Life in bold letters, beauty lost in the grind
Chapters predictable, meaning hard to find
At the craft fair, a sun shining bright
He watched from afar, not...

In the silence that resonates,
a lament of absences,
the flowers bloom in the shadows,
whispers of a life that fades away.

Eyes searching the horizon
for a trace of hope,
but pain, like a poem,
is sculpted in the words of the day.

The city is a labyrinth of steps
that reflects solitude at every corner -
laughter dissolves in the wind
like falling petals,
disguised in the chaos.

Your feelings for me were beyond what you lead on

Did us talking regularly 

Soften your heart unexpectedly?

Unknown to me but very known to you 

It came to the point where “love you” became “I love you” 

Slight change to our goodnights 

Nothing to overthink 

We’re friends right? 

You got “busier”

Our talks lessened 

I still see you partying though 

I’m confused

A yellow leaf broke away from the tree. 

He thought he could live now free.

But it happened a quite different way,

Without a trunk, he could helplessly lay.

Laying lonely far from the trunk

He was feeling a little bit drunk.

Even though the others were around,

His happiness was not found.

I  wandered on the fallen leaves in the forest,

And the weather looked ...

Not having enough money to buy what I need 

My goal has always been the finer things 

Wearing what I want, living where I want

Ah, to suffer,
is not just an invisible burden
that we drag through the streets of life.
It is the mark, the scar,
of existence that shapes us.

To suffer is the pain
that teaches us to see the world
with weary eyes,
where reality is not a straight line
but a labyrinth of thorns and hopes.

In the deep silence of the night,
where the moon whispers secrets of pain,

Everyone has a fire in their soul

A bright passion that makes them whole

An urge to follow like a fool

A desperate need to fulfill no matter how cruel

A bright spark in their eyes

A light that never dies

A wonderful dream that never lies

A reason to get up and rise

A star in their hearts to answer their wishes

A burning desire inside their chests

The cooing of the dove grows fierce
Upon hearing that its land is no longer safe
Many have died without a trace
Many hearts have turned to ashes

The wind speaks to the dove,

"Do you not know, there is something that can set hearts ablaze?"

Woke up, then crashed for three days in a row,
It had to be done for my well-being,
There goes my energy, out the window.

Of all the things, I ask, why must this be?
Once energizing, but now it’s draining:
Woke up, then crashed for three days in a row.

Went to bed hoping that the rain would stop.
Comes tomorrow, still welcomed by pouring;
There goes my energy, out the window.

There isn’t much to say today,
It’s just an ordinary day.
But I can’t get enough of it;
I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Though some spice wouldn’t be so bad,
Without spice, I would still be glad.
And if I had to make a choice,
Still, I would choose the same, with all I had.

I see the past as a brighter place, noble friend
Beyond stone walls and castles old
Where hypocrisy hides in velvet’s embrace
And troubadours sing of love and sorrow bold
Life then was clear, as abundant as mead
Rich with jousts, tournaments, tales to reveal
From the heavens above to the stone floors beneath
We rode without reins, our spirits free

It grew in the wilds, a sentinel growing tall,

A mighty yogi in presence, embracing it all!

Branches reaching out, to the skies in a plea,

Seeking for the strength - to live it's destiny!

Its ancient bark, a wrinkled, weathered hide,

Tells a tale of the time's, swiftly flowing tide.

Inexorably which has grabbed, life in a churn,

On and onwards to - the lands of no return!

A life had my thoughts, ephemeral and bright!

Coursing thru’ the skies, in a shimmering light.

                    And time reached out, in a glorious embrace;

                    Rushing me breathless, through empty space.

When the memories came, unbidden but true;

From the nether mind the feelings broke thru’.

                    Some moments to rejoice, some sharp agony.

Five years ago flew by

Now, already remote

The rolling of the years

They’re already afloat

Your past self

Already a ghost

When you stand still

You begin to grieve your previous skins

Wonder why you had to forget and kill

Old personalities just to multiply new

So, you cling on to specific moments

Promise not to forget, you never will

I beg you to watch the dawn,

To watch the dawn kissing the moon,

To see if the night has already gone,

And a bright day appears soon.

Just watch, how his eyes are sad,

How mother's heart pains,

How the child sleeps in bed,

How the leaf on a tree remains.

I beg you to watch the man,

Who is tired and walks blindly.

You do what you can for him,

If your shirt has no button
and your trousers are roughened,
if your jacket is so crushed
and your carpet needs a brush,
if you can’t find a clotheshorse
and all the time just, curse
There is only one way out:
to marry or divorce.

Life.

Every day.

Is one day closer

to you 

not being anymore.

Being alive 

unsure 

questioning 

doubting.

Nothing is ultimate

besides 

this

moment. 

You can never go back 

you can wish for it 

everyday 

but you can’t 

and you never will.

I don’t want to be seen

I don’t want to be perceived

I wish I could go anywhere and be invisible.

People are everywhere

Eyes are everywhere

They’re all living their own lives but why do I feel as though mine is being watched?

As though they’re looking for a mistake in me

Is my hair messy?

Is my outfit mismatched?

A young lass and an old woman had a talk.

A young lass confessed with confidence,

You are too old a long distance to walk,

Your legs and your breath are the evidence.

An old woman answered with a smile:

Let's wait for a while and we'll see,

Years fly and you'll have a different style.

You don't look like working as a bee.

Time to be smart and walk your way.

You had no abilities for ballet,

You were seen in the Irish pub,

You only have questions of volley.

You didn't complete your education,

All is so ghostly in our lives and not all is mature.

There is only a moment between the past and the future.

So, hold it with both hands and don't let it go.

And this moment is called life, and it’s not a show.

An eternal peace is only for the grave,

And the star that falls and breaks into pieces

Believe me, girl, all will be okay.
All wounds will be treated,
All grief and mistakes will go away.
The people's sins won't stay.

So, you are trying again
The things someone tried before.
Your wounded heart terribly pains,
And you surely close the door.

But remember! If the soul is kind, 
It's not closed, ready to accept guests,
Your heart is not blind,

I’ve learned to understand that…

A prohibitive degree of inner freedom –

Not a caprice but a strain.

Up to the end, it will remain!

I’ve learned to understand that….

The tales we dream up

We write out of our heads.

And…. we should cherish that!

I’ve learned to break up the rules,

So that no one should be hurt.

Using my tools,

If he could fly

he would proudly throw his litter

If only I could meet her there, tonight,

In her eyes find a guiding light.

Heal our wounds with love's twine.

Unseen, I walk the same lone trail, day after day.

Unheard, I murmur the same stilted words, time after time.

Forgotten, I wear the same faceless mask, loss after loss.

Voiceless, I blandish my soul, the same lullaby, night after night.

"Tomorrow...", "Next life...", "Another me...". 

Faint echoes, a plea, for what I could be.

You are running ahead
instead of thinking where.
Your heart is beating at a crazy speed,
it has its flair.

You are swallowing salty drops of tears,
You do not hear the jeers,
You do not feel the rain
But only the unfair pain.

Hurts tear your soul apart.
Who cares about your broken heart?
You want to scream, even to roar,
You can’t stand this pain anymore.

And a pit of endless plight
