I wasn't born with wings
But I learnt how to fly
Sometimes spiralling to the ground
Sometimes, an endless sky
I flew with the eagles, they said I was strange
I flew with the doves, they said I was deranged
And then one day, I see a fire
Tempting me in, a welcoming pyre
I burst into flames and still I rise
An armoured soul in disguise
Again, I flew in, an inferno denied
And rose from the ashes, with nowhere to hide
"A phoenix!" did they all exclaim
Inside hides a sparrow, fearful, tame

Human souls, infernos, forever yearning to explode
Into a burst of themselves, their bits and pieces
A war against the world and themselves
Your soul tamed mine, and mine yours
And healed the wounds that the world inflicted
For when a soul meets its match, the war matters not
All it needed was love

Like the waves in the ocean
That meet the shores and fade away
So did you, with my life
Every single day
Like the snowflakes in winter
That melt when they land
So did your trust
Each time you held my hand
Like the sand in the desert
Once here, then scattered
So were your promises
Leaving my heart shattered
Like a ghost in the darkness
One sees but is unreal
So were your words
And the things you made me feel
Like the glow of a firefly
Now gone, now bright
So is your love
Goodbye, good night
Goodbye, good night

I will never be you
Yes you, with that crowd around you
Your life's blooper reel .. now my fantasy
When you **** they exclaim "How fragrant!"
Because you're "hot", definition: conflagrant
Your smiles turn no's into nods
Your eyes a puppy dog's competition
Your Facebook friend count: 3000
As I stalk you, green, astounded
For you were the me that now I'll never be
Because I decided that life's worth being real
Fake is a tongue best unspoken
Fair weather friendships, never unbroken
Like a celebrity spiraling into oblivion
Ms. Popular is now the chameleon

The skies open
The storm abates
Paved streets old
Where a stranger awaits
The world lies cold
A heart of ice
Flames engulf
A lonely paradise
Creeping closer
Into the soul
Filling the void
Making me whole
Alas, separated
Yet always near
To the heart
Distance is mere

Don't care if I'm "Glass-half-full" and crap
There are a few people in the world I'd really like to slap
There, I said it. Judge me if you might
But not everyone is a saint, with a halo of light
It ***** though, I'm a Gandhi I'm not a fighter I'm aware
But karma's a ***** so "slapees" beware

I was your world, your universe
As long as you liked what you heard
I thought I was your woman
Respected and loved
But I'm just your caged songbird
You heard emotion in my silence
Amidst your outpouring of words
And you asked me to open my heart
That were sealed to your ears
Choking, a little everyday
my thoughts took form
And you hit me with denial
Ignorant to my tears
This songbird will not sing
A truer tune for you
I'll shut my Soul and sing you some Pop
Some radio junk to soothe
Your ego and your pride
My heart shut, lips open wide
You made the truth your enemy
The darkness is your friend
Until you like what you hear, I know
Our "love" will never end

Some people are like hiccups
First, they're annoying.
You try to push them away
then you get used to having them around
and suddenly they disappear.
Then it feels strange;
like an important part of you
is gone.

My blood boils over
Your four leaf clover
Is running out of luck
Don't push it, I'm at the brink
I hear it, the way you think
That the words you say
Will stay between my ears
And not evaporate
Like the promises they never were
Too late, too late
My reasoning compromised
My senses desensitized
My humanity digitized
Into steps of despair,
hate and fury, lay bare
I hear the words come out
But I don't listen
My tongue has no master
Sly as a *****
They tumble out faster
Roll over our bonds
Like lava over rivers
Like alcohol through livers
This is our cirrhosis
Our relationship's psychosis
Hardened like stone
Over castles of glass
And as the words stop
I realise they're crass
Alas, an impasse!
I have lost your trust
To an unjust jury
Like the Radium that murdered
the Lady Curie
All love fissioned
Because of my fury

Her eyes stare out
Into emptily brimming space
At the lives that run before her
Almost touching, seeming to reach out
But never crossing paths
Oblivious to her presence
She sits, surrrounded by surreality
By the irony of her twisted fate
To be so close to human touch,
to the relief of shared laughter and tears
And still, trapped in a tomb of solitude
Unmoved by a smile that sneaks
Across her face as a stranger smiles back
For such is transient, never to be realized
As a bigger part, of eternity
Slowly, gently, tendrils of her being
Creep toward another soul
Cautiously approach, then close around
Only to be severed
Ousted by a stronger spirit
And then she saw, a glimmer of light
That closed in on her, swallowed her whole
And she lived in the rays of starlight
For a time
Twice, in four hundreds of days
The lambency would engulf her
With the clemency of company
And then shut her in darkness
And now she stays, alone in a crowd
The silence is deafening
As her heart screams out
For the starlight to touch
Her hand once again
