Separation
No matter how much the shouting, its the inside worth counting
Never mind harsh words of a person, their actions could never worsen
Others with a listening ear, may take away the fear
The unknown goes on behind closed doors, hiding all the flaws
Love seemed a while away, yet so did the other day
Fondness comes after the trouble, back to how things were, a couple
Smiles are exchanged, somehow...

Life in Smallville
The wind blows through the palm trees
like someone passing by without a sound,
but leaves the trace of its presence
in the song of the birds.
The sun is already low,
and the earth, warm, breathes slowly.
Each step is a reminder
that time is a road that doesn't turn back.
Life is made of small gestures:
the worker’s embrace,
the child's smile,
the gaze of the woman who makes a home a...

Nostalgia
Your nostalgia is lying to you.
Life is hard now,
But it was hard then, too.
You were just younger, dumber, more care-free.
If you knew then what you know now,
Maybe then you'd see.
You'd see the heartache;
You'd see the pain;
You'd see the way they lie and shame;
You'd see that no matter what you do,
You're always going to be you.

How much longer?
Still, as I'm placed gently, carefully, so I may not spill over,
Dial me up to medium to simmer the symposium that's eager,
Waiting patiently for my bubbles to burst, to stimulate my undying thirst.

Possibilities
In the vast plains of time, where the wind is lost
Man, with curious eyes, gazes at the horizon
And in the infinity of the sky, which stretches beyond being
Possibilities blossom, like stars in a distant night
What will become of me, in the paths of chance?
Which road, by the moonlight, will stretch before my step?
I feel in my chest the pulsing desire of a vast dream
But doubt, like fog,...

Let Roses Rain...
For me, there should be roses raining,
A sky of wonders, never waning.
The world should twist, turn on its head,
And all its worries left unsaid.
At sixteen, I dreamt with quiet fire,
To reach the heights, to never tire.
To claim my place, to stand my ground,
With every voice, I’d make a sound.
And later, I longed for something grand,
To see the world, to understand.
Not lo...

Seasonal Hate
You endure a tremendous amount of hate,
Berating your presence as soon as you wake.
Their words echo off buildings,
As the tempo of people gather in agreement.
White smoke cloaks their bodies,
Fuming like chain smokers in harmony.
The crunching of their feet fleeting,
Scurrying away to catch the heat of the bus,
Dirtying up the soft blanket you’ve given ...

Rain Check
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

Joy
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
About me getti...

Live Each Day As The Last
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.
I did not see the false o...

There where the Love Settled Down No Need For the Words.
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?
I’ll rather had y’all save that money to go into my college fund

But somehow I still stayed loyal and fare
I always tried to get it my own,
Just so I could pay my fare

The pain I just wish I could shake
I wish me and my bm
Could just relate

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.
hashtags dance on the screen,
like confetti at a birthday ...

Star-Crossed Hearts
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...

Flowers of Misfortune
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.

Unexpected Feelings
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

My Way
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 ...

I am nobody
When my career is gone

Option 3
Am I ready for the things I acquire ?
Used to mediocre things
Not having enough money to buy what I need
My goal has always been the finer things

It seems small but those are big to me
I don’t live above my means
Watched people go down that road
It’s not a pretty scene

To suffer
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,
we find the echo of...

Everyone has a fire in their soul
A bright passion that makes them whole
An urge to follow like a fool

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

Echoes beneath the Shadow of Faith
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?"
"It has no form, yet it feels sharp.”
"It has no form, yet hearts struck by it fee...

Caffeine Withdrawal
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.

Just Another Day
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.

Ancient Times
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
Love, like a magical potion, made us dre...

: The Barren Tree :
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!

: Soliloquy :
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.

Previous skins
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
But it is not uniqu...

A Bright Day Will Come Soon
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,
And he wi...

Marry or Divorce
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.

Every day.
Is one day closer
to you
not being anymore.
Being alive
unsure
questioning
doubting.

You can never go back
you can wish for it
everyday
but you can’t

Eyes on Me
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

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.

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.

Forgive me, God, for being so naughty,

She used to say: You are already forty,
Time to be smart and walk your way.
You didn't go to the chess club,
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,
You've lost a passion to stu...

A Moment Between the Past And the Future
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.
The heart won't be pleased with an eternal peace,
An eternal peace is only for the grave,
And the star that falls and breaks into pieces
It is only a blind...

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,
And trust in joyful fe...

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,
I would like to avoid the dir...

He had heard
he was also a bird.
If he could fly
he would proudly throw his litter

And welcome the miracle of mains.

We have forgotten how to live.

For you to recognize yourself.

The reality may be objective
But what I'm able to see
May very well be subjective

In silence, I see her beauty sing and shine.

Unseen, I walk the same lone trail, day after day.
Unheard, I murmur the same stilted words, time after time.

Faint echoes, a plea, for what I could be.
If only those whispers could lull me ...

Other admires his wife as a variant.
Some are happy to have a new phone,
Others care about their cat and dog.

The temperature may rise,
and if you are enjoying it.
You are also wise.
That is Summer!

And because of the sweat,
our bodies get thinned.
and my sister’s flying hair.
And if we go out too much,
our skin gets dark from fair.

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.
You want to smash all on...

Whether peace or trouble is talked about,

But I happened to be a hard nut.
I was kind, not mind to some well-known guys.
Up to that moment, I could all realize.
It’s so convenient when your heart is opened.
I opened my eyes and saw the value of lies.
Besides, I saw so much light around,

you’re a phoenix
when you’re born from ashes?
naked and fragile
fallen out of the sky
into a grey abyss
without the memory
of what you are
closer to death than life
what is left
when you’ve left
your past behind?
when your identity
has been plugged from you
like your feathers
nothing
nothing but silence
and darkness

It opened like Pandora box, pieces spread around the floor

There's two number ones, screws and dowels in many little packets
She measured the space and ordered it, God I better hope it fits?

Of how life should be
You were the princess
And I, the dashing knight
who saved you from the monsters
And a pit of endless plight
Down to the woods I'd go:

Is your life story a happy one?
Is it blissful and uplifting?
Or do you find yourself with no direction?
And always seem to be drifting?
Does your life story have some purpose?
Or are you just going through the motions?
Do you understand your heart and mind?
Or are you confused by your emotions?
Is your life story one of great success?
Or have you lost your zest and zeal?

Eternal Field
I one time dreamed a dream wherein I walked within an open field,
where every step a memory was, and every breath was poignant filled.
I saw each day I ever lived, they all bled slowly into one.
Each opportunity to give now stood a moment left undone.
I saw each thing I ever owned and tried so hard to justify,
but every effort woeful fell and I was left to wonder why.

Gone Girl
I collect up the pieces of my former life
Photos, articles, trinkets and pictures,
that reverberate with a life once lived,
far away from where I am now.
I was once a borderline, edging death.
A cathartic catchpole where I caught nothing but pain.
Grazing on the remnants of the past, I realise
that I was set up to fail.
No one there to see the beating heart of kindness.

A wonderous heaven lost to nature

Spewing out the innocence that held you
You are a blue green marble
A child's tale, a cherished fable

that somehow we could live our lives

And I can’t help but wonder why
we strive to keep so much in line,
what is it for?
Can’t you see we spend our time
building what we call “The Grind”,
finding ways to numb the pain it causes.
Blind leading the blind.
Can’t you see we spend our time

The Braithwaite Boy
I knew the Braithwaite boy at school;
I knew him when he started work.
He bagged fruit at the market stall:
Quite slow, but never one to shirk.
His parents lived beside the park;
They were the type to put on airs.
They saw him as an office clerk
Or in the city selling shares.
But he was quiet, often teased,
And ready to accept his place;
The customers seemed...

In The Middle
In the middle of life there’s a moment of still.
Reminiscing, regretting, “Is there point in it all?”
Looking out in both ways from the top of the hill
as I tumble and shrink to an infinite small.
For I know forever has no end of days,
it leaves me to contemplate just who I am?
And I know that size never ends in both ways,
when you sit in infinity, is there a plan

You can buy land and home

You can spend every day
finding more ways to pay,
grabbing all you can possibly get.
But remember there’s something
worth far more than these…
to die without any...

Destiny
The rock
The rock on a high coast, on which I leant.
Your love, as strong as the rock.
We were
children,
we held eternity blindly; we reached
for a meaning that was greater than life:
destiny.
Destiny - word of fools.
Your eye and mine:
they saw
only a hazed horizon.
Illusion.
Endless line before endless line
losing time to d...

The Question
Depression and heartache and yearning -
common throughout all the years,
general amongst all the masses,
driven by so many fears.
It’s truly the struggle of ages,
despite born of mansion or cave.
Is life the thing that you’re living,
or is it life that you crave?
It's tied to a question so simple -
just what do you live your life for?
Do you live to live in ...

New Day
Have you ever come to the end of the day,
and can run the clock back play by play,
and can add it up that supposedly
it was the day it was suppose to be,
but somehow it seems that no time has gone
like a broken record playing on and on,
and you think back through all the things you’ve done -
every day every deed bleeding into one,
and you can’t help but feel just a little ...

Today my friend buries her mother
Today my friend buries her mother in a coffin she has painted by hand. Today my friend's father tells her that she has taken on too much responsibility in the matter. She tells me he made her feel like she did not have a choice. Today I will get my hair cut. Today by mid day my friend will have buried her mother. My friend is only twenty four. Her daughter is two. I ask my friend how she has been ...

Sorrow's Bounty
In a world of plenty, where joy should reign,
A soul wanders lost, drowning in pain.
He has it all, or so it seems,
Yet inside, he's adrift in shattered dreams.
Possessions many, but feelings in drought,
Tears concealed, smiles worn throughout.
Once in a while, breaks down unseen,
In the quiet ache, where joy's been.
Everything's there, yet nothing to hold,
A ...

Heaven Is Raining Down On Me (It Burns, Gods, It Burns)
Cradled in the arms of my mother,
I sway softly to the beat of the sea.
Enjoying the peaceful scenery.
As I lay flat on my back,
wood groaning under the weight of me,
With my eyes directed
to that heavenly scene above me.
Smile lines dancing on my plump cheeks.
When suddenly the song of the sea
turns into a nausea inducing melody.
The gentle hands that used to ...

Muddy
Sitting on a bench,
In a muddle,
My feet in a puddle,
Not noticing
The mud on my shoes,
Just the mud in my mind.
The plaque on the seat,
Reminder of someone passed,
Loved long after their departure,
A life lived and lost,
But remembered forever,
On the bench where I sit
With my muddy shoes,
And muddy min...

A Midwinter Daydream
Some days I like to wander free
Let reality's harsh light dim
In hope I'll find new things to see
New worlds to hide within
I wander down forgotten paths
Now overgrown with thistle
And find a draughty little nook
Where the fair wind likes to whistle
I came upon a cottage somewhere
Or, perhaps, I was at rest?
Outside, an old woman stood
In ragged...
