In your embrace Demons throw their weapons and run Storms of thoughts converge in one in one place Where I always want to stumble upon the hopeful glory of another rising sun in your gorgeous face! In your embrace A serene truce begins yet so brief Like a chemical antidepressant relief To replace the empty "fading-out" feeling that grieves the subtle intermittent happiness that leaves without a single trace! In your embrace I feed on the streams of your affection Filling my massive holes of self-rejection An outer space of stardust diluted by expanding void A paragon diamond forever destroyed What a disgrace! Whenever you seek and find me Stuck in my everlasting winter Brace your arms around me So I can survive a bit longer For whatever once died in me Never made me any stronger But you can never trust in me For I will always abuse your shelter ~Epic Monkey

Abused Shelter
She smiled asymmetrically Challenged a stroke that paralysed her Then lifted up dramatically The broken hopes i had for her I had strived to help her recover But it was a single raindrop on a barren land A decent yet so frail endeavour A spark of life lost in dessicated sand But life is not in the sparks we achieve It's an imploding light In the minds of those who truly believe It's the persistent fight The will to throw yourself on the battlefield Against the illusion of fright And the fear that you will eventually yield! and even someday, you might Rise up then and hold again your shield 'cause if you don't survive this everlasting night It is also me that you will deceive It was rather my mind that paralysed me And rather her smile revascularised me This dope I received was the hope that I need An inspiring pill For an expiring will A lifelong set of treatments for my postponed disappointments ~Epic Monkey

Fragmented Inspiration
Perfect stranger with a blinding light Wicked danger blinding my insight A hollow enigma in a shell of fright and a passion magma I cannot hold inside Architect of a mystery of irresistible blur A refractory gravity, a vertiginous whirl Some sort of gifted sorcery, a multidimensional puzzle Tangled streams of poetry, a rhyme-shattering rebel My uncharted horizon to dream about What could be a reason to keep you out? Will I need wings to carry you on my shoulders? or will I require them to adapt to your soaring place? Should i avoid to step out of my comfortable borders? Or should I give in to a silhouette without a face? ~Epic Monkey

Conundrum
You used to rest your head on my chest Listening to my heartbeat Playing a drum solo anxiously It's when our souls longed to meet Fusing together passionately Time went fast but precious As we feared an end to all this Now, as you rest Your head on my chest Listening to my heartbeat Playing a lullaby peacefully Our souls committed  to meet Fused together already Time goes slow but precious As we cherish every second of all this Soon, you will rest Your head on my chest Listening to my heartbeat Playing skipped beats from malady Our souls with destiny meet Fused even more from agony Time drains fast but most precious As we fight our way away from all this Until the day you'll rest Your head on my chest Listening to no heartbeat Playing the pause of asystole Our souls too far away to meet Fused apart distantly Time is out, not anymore precious As you suicide away from all this ~epic monkey

Your head on my chest
Butterfly Flutter high You'd better fly and paint the air Colorless worm Powerless you were Alone in the blur of the world out there Brought up by a careless mother Brought down by a faithless lover Back-stabbed by the closest friend But never strong enough to mend The abuse in their love Fed the unconditionality in yours The harshness in their souls Fueled the kindness in yours When all this world's horrors Swept away all your colors New ones were your creation A spectrum beyond imagination Now all you see around you is this world's boredom and pallor Many will underestimate you Won't appreciate you precious color 'Till you find that rare other you who knows the price of your glamour Has enough kindness to deserve you from all the pain he had suffered To invest himself all in you to paint the air together "If only this world had many of you we could have loved one another" Butterfly Flutter far Better fly high like the star you are Colorless worm Alone in the blur Not anymore But so much more. ~Epic Monkey

Metamorphosis
Her laughter resonated for only a moment Then it lingered releasing all tension As if life in me detonated in a glimpse of a moment As it hindered every little expression Afraid to be too cheesy All the poetry stayed inside The touch of her cheeks so squeezy The euphoria in me I couldn't hide Couldn't make a single blink Every ability of mine she defied My weakness is this I think When charm and bliss collide As the laughter started to fade The spark didn't last The sun turned slowly to shade and the void in me grew fast Slave to a laughter to end my agony Soaked in anxiety, deprived of rest I'll defy myself despite my atony Bring back that laughter, my ultimate quest It was a hideous day when i saw her frown Maiming my strength, twisting me around Someone had just broken her heart Remodeled her face, that piece of art I got her flowers of all sorts of colors Tried a few pokes Threw a few jokes My neck bent down But her frown never bent But the next day she rose like a cedar tree She became the hero I couldn't be Flew her way up to happiness' peaks I stood up as she lifted my soul Reborn from those round cheeks with soft lips and bright eyes at each pole And I waited... I waited not for too long Till her laughter resonated for only a moment Then it lingered releasing all tension Then life in me detonated in a glimpse of a moment As it hindered Every possible expression ~Epic Monkey

As she laughs
Watching time Pass me by 4 blank walls and a ticking clock 2 blank eyes and a feeling block Colorful floaters flying Colorless thoughts undying Withered nerves, blooming vessels Brittle bones, stiffened muscles Spiritual paralysis in mental mazes Emotional desert, unreachable oasis When Silence heals faster than words When Peace kneels faster than war When Freedom feels like caged birds and Dark conceals the sheltering shore Watching time Pass me by Mute routine, no remorse Swinging from bad to worse Like a golden fish in a glassy box where fake waters keep life flowing A toy-castle and artificial rocks where fake food comes daily snowing False care to the insomniac in the toy castle turns out to be the ultimate love-showing The memory too short to be grateful Better be oblivious than knowing When you belong to a sea harsh and sinful where sharks eat you to keep growing Narrow box, shallow rocks void "only" a little as the deceptive love keeps overflowing Watching time Run me by Staring at the hourglass draining Grain by grain the golden sand Staring at the emptiness draining thoughts without a train randomly banned Staring at the misery draining heart and brain and its out of hand 'Cause silence heals faster than words Peace would kneel faster than war And Freedom feels like caged birds As dark still conceals the sheltering shore ~Epic Monkey

Watching Time
We are not just similar We are parallel ! In this cruel world of all kinds of vectors It's either an invariable distance Or a fully superposed confusion No single intersection And we lie there stubborn and hopeless Craving a translation We are not just similar We are parallel ! Our limits confined to a single plane As life flows in all directions We miss the marvels around us In every remaining dimension And we lie there Blind and shameless Craving a translation Louder words Barely heard Answers clouded by blur of ignorance Questions falsely trigger negative emotion Chaos in misplaced transference As mazes form from conversation And we lie there Deaf and clueless Craving a translation Not even a cascade of tears Can bend us to converge Tried turning the other cheek We failed again to merge Until one day, we exhaust our energy Shields get broken, armor gets heavy Only our inner demons left unstained But they decided to flee our weak body So we **** the pride with a suffocating hug Bend the frown with a devastating kiss Poison the anger by our cleansing drug We let go of our ego, off to our bliss And we lie there Victorious and united Achieving a translation Then days go by as we oscillate to the finish line in this dance of fate We survive, it seems We relive on the extremes Aligned in happiness or divergent in depression In mystical perfection or in catatonic emptiness Stubborn and stiff Blind and deaf Clueless, shameless, hopeless Craving irreversible translation But we are not just similar We are parallel ! ~Epic Monkey

Amazing people by her spotless shell Hiding with a smile what she couldn't tell Enchanting hearts with her paralyzing spell Trying to compensate her need to be Free Deep inside, beyond this gorgeous shell Is a precious pearl in a sugar-coated hell Colorful talents and creative ways to excel An infinite beauty only the Wise can see Prisoner behind this bar-less shell Expecting Serenity to ring her bell And dissolve the fears she tries to repel As if peace can grow on a tree As your fragility vanishes in a vigorous shell Your Divinity remains a mystery to tell Some wouldn't be able to handle it so well Others would fight you but not me So if you ever find yourself in a broken shell I'll be the arms where you can safely dwell Drown deep in my ocean, grow and swell That's where treasures are meant to be ~Epic Monkey

In A Shell
You are the vase on the edge of the table Falling down at minimal action at anytime and there is no enough glue available to fix the million fragments you'd become You are the drug overdose And the only antidote Swinging to each extreme dose Intoxicating then catching falls We are a puzzle of mismatching parts Failing to show what we must portray We're on a journey of intertwined paths With a broken compass to guide the way Peace endeavors gone with the wind Never stop the impending storm Boiling blood under frozen skin Will never keep our hearts warm And so we wait We wait for life For the new season to overlap as the old one fades For the clock to whirl At a faster pace For love to show in a tight embrace For tragedy to wear off the angel's face ~Epic Monkey
