Phobia
AnxiousOcean May 2017
I fear.
Everyone does
I once conquered one,
the fear of being none

Today I fear a lot
I don't fear you, you're wrong
I'm just afraid to be with you
I fear attachments.
I fear moments spent with you
I am afraid I might be used to it
I'm afraid someday those moments
turn into memories
and those memories will haunt me
as I face my next fear
and that is the fear of losing you
for life is like picking a flower from a garden
handle it,
let its thorn hurt you
let it wilt
or let it go

or you can simply just fear it
and be none.

Eulogy from a Rose
AnxiousOcean May 2017
He rises with sun as the evening fades
with a blank on his face, he goes back to bed
asking, when can he die?
and when can he live?
for he felt like dying even if he breathe

He stands with sun as darkness evanesces
with tears on his face, he walks back to bed
asking, who did this?
and who did that?
for everyone's a reason that he wants to live not

He climbs with sun as the shadow's gone
with a hope on his face, he jumps back to bed
asking where's the blade?
and which wrist is?
for a an art of red will help him resist

He soars with sun as gloom dwindles
with an exchaust on his face, he crawls back to bed
asking what now?
and what then?
for he's tired of things that never conclude

He ascends with the sun as the night withers
with a smile on his face, never he left the bed
saying how fascinating,
and how wonderful
for finally his boring story will come to an end

As the sun perishes and the shade prolongs
everything cries as he dies
he is waiting for this moment
and for the last of his time
through death,
He smiles

The Yacht
AnxiousOcean May 2017
Y-acht walks around the blue sphere
O-nly yearns, not just to wander
U-ntil it finds a place sung home

D-eep it goes above the water
O-n the welkin filled with flier

N-ever ceases crawling in
O-h, home, so far, where you've been?
T-ill it meets the amity within

B-ut, home is near yet it is distant
E-ven afar from land, and near to alone
L-eft is regret, a yacht of uncertainty
O-h, why do I belong not?
N-owhere, do I belong in?
G-uess, because I'm just a yacht
for the nowhere-to-be-found out there

Burnt Water
AnxiousOcean May 2017
When fire gets burned,
the ocean gets drowned,
wind gets blown,
and the house gets home

When water is dehydrated,
the sun is heated,
moonlight is reflected,
and the night is blindfolded

When tears are gone crying,
the winter feels freezing,
smiles are now smiling,
and the hurt is gone hurting

When pain does feel pain,
the trust breaks trust,
love learns to love,
and fear is afraid

When future is in the past,
the time is not so fast,
first will be the last
you and me, us

You're in my world of wondering wonder
Just some few nonsense that lurks within my soul

The sense of living
AnxiousOcean May 2017
I hear you in the early birds' song
a moon's amity in a scorching firmament

I smell you as the flowers tilt from wilt
fragrance that stops time from running

I taste you by the waters of the deep
thy tears drench the stars as they fell

I feel you through the breeze of midnight
your embrace incinerates the numbing cold

I see you from the brink of the past
one from a million yet the best memory ever

Nonsensical Ocean
AnxiousOcean May 2017
Yes, I'm back
and yet I'm back at this stage
where I feel alone
and missing someone
I'm just someone who prefers
to be alone
to be surrounded
by my own self
my own companion
People go and get happy
beside me
But when it's night
they go away
and go far so easily
That's why I hate their presence
I hate it when they're attached to me
and they suddenly drifted away
like a leaf
sometimes I felt like the ocean
pushing the boats to the land
and prefers to be alone
Hi, I just write this without proper thinking, i just really felt overwhelmed  by sadness. Sorry

When I'm gone
AnxiousOcean Apr 2017
Will you miss me?
I mean
when I go somewhere
somewhere far
will you be sad
because you miss someone
which is me?

Because, me?
I miss myself
I'm lost somewhere
going nowhere
nowhere to be found
yet I miss me
so much
I did not go somewhere
but I was gone
when you left

A Man's Best friend
AnxiousOcean Apr 2017
Nothing's better
than the breeze
of night sky
as you gaze the stars
that give light
to the way of lost souls
together
with the brightest star
that light your way,
your bestfriend

But now she's gone
the night sky fell
your way's unlit
but hers has light
by the stars in the sky

Yet when I miss you,
I will always look up
in the night sky
and gaze at the stars
For I know
that they will guide you
and will lead you
to the right way,
to HIM

Farewell, my friend
I have a dog, she's more than a pet to me, She really is my bestfriend whom I shared my tears with. And today, April 24,2017, God took her. It is painful. But I guess, I'm used to losing someone. Yet I had the best memories with her. God Bless :)

Ocean
AnxiousOcean Apr 2017
I'm not fond of oceans
I am scared of it
The feeling of waking up in the middle
barely floating
nearly drowning
almost dying
Too scared of its depths
What lurks underneath,
the creatures that hide in every tide

Until

I became one
I became an ocean
People go near
but do not go far
They enjoy to swim
Dare not to go deep
I give life to some
and I take it from others
Shelter the needy
and drown the greedy
now they are afraid of me
as I was afraid before

There are no monsters underneath
It is just me, the ocean

Who were you?
AnxiousOcean Apr 2017
Flowers breathe and wilt through you
Rainbows envy the tint you go through
Even night was lost in your eyes
Depths of ocean were drowned as you rise
Cannot utter what you really think
Eh?
Lucidly, a vast mystery.
Just an ordinary poem for someone.

Elegy for myself
AnxiousOcean Apr 2017
Hi
I want you to know
That I miss you so much
I miss you, us, the moments
We’ve shared
Everything
I miss doing things
With someone I trust
Someone with whom
I am comfortable with
I just miss you so much
And I'm tired
I am tired of missing you
I’m on my bed both
day and night
Yet my mind is tired
of overthinking
I’m tired of drowning
To the past
Where you were there
With me
or is it how
I wish It could be
I’m tired of pretending that
I’m happy
Yet deep inside it kills me
I’m tired of accepting things
But I know it’s the only
medicine that I have to take
I’m tired
Yet I want you to know
When you come home
No matter how far
I was here
Waiting
Drowning
Dying

Dumb
AnxiousOcean Apr 2017
Stop pretending you care
You don't
You never did
Even If I care for you
Your eyes will tell
how dumb I am
Caring for the person
who doesn't even care
for me.

The thing is

I don't care
I do not care if my care
is not given back
I don't care if I'm the only
one who cares
I don't care

Because caring
Is for the brave
yet you are weak
and I still care for you

The Rescued
AnxiousOcean Apr 2017
Finally, I’m rescued
Saved through the hands of love
Now I’m free with my refuge
Soaring like a winged dove

No longer the person I was before
I'm changed. I became different
I was made for something more
My existence was no accident

Joy is not enough
It can’t free you from sadness
Through it, you smile
But still chained in madness

I used to seek for Joy
But it was Love who found me
It was love who rescued me
It was love who set me free

When the oceans rise
In trouble times
Be still and call
In the name of Love

For love does not bring you Joy
Love brings you home

The Rescue
AnxiousOcean Apr 2017
I adore sadness
It visits without a reason
It yearns to stay
but I fear to drown to poison

I said go away, on sombody's mind
I’m tired, I want to be happy
It uttered “no”, joy will not come
But if it does, it will eventually leave me

Did not listen
will only heighten desolation
I miss happiness and the old me
Now I’m trapped in isolation

Love came down and rescued me
It embraced me and set me free
It unchained me from melancholy
and released me from the arms of misery

It calmed my seas from raging
It saved me from drowning
It stopped the storm from roaring
Without it, I’d be forever missing

It wiped tears from my eyes
I didn’t speak a word or two
It embraced me tightly and
Yes indeed, a simple hug will do

Roller Coaster of Life
AnxiousOcean Apr 2017
We are riding a roller coaster
Ups
Downs
With people or few
We enjoy the experience
We enjoy the view
We enjoy the ride
We enjoy the company
and fun
The laughter and tears
The scream and shout
The sky above us
Everything

Yet our ride
Will soon end
But what's important
Is the journey
So enjoy life
And every second
Riding a roller coaster

My Happy Ending
AnxiousOcean Apr 2017
I want you to know
the happiness you bring;
when I'm with you
how my soul will sing

I want you to know
that I care for you;
my nights are spent
overthinking about you

I want you to know
my feelings for you;
even if I can't feel you
they are always true

Yet,

I want you to know
that I am deeply hurt;
I fooled myself
make-believing us

I want you to know
that I have changed;
I grow and learned
and released from chains

I want you to know
that I am okay;
I'm fine as ever,
strong and BETTER

End
AnxiousOcean Apr 2017
End
Everything ends
Nothing lasts forever
Nothing's ever built to last
It will all end

Yet in the end
Another book shall be read
Chapters be unfolded
New story to be ended

If I live happily ever after
How was it called
a happy ending
If it is the end of everything?

~Ends~

I, a Murderer
AnxiousOcean Apr 2017
I am innocent

I swear I'm not responsible
For any damage she's had
I swear I'm not the reason
Of her tears at night
And I swear I did not intend
To hurt and scar

I am guilty

I'm guilty for being weak
And guilty for being a kid
Guilty for committing a mistake
And for the actions I make

Misdemeanor; such ******
I slaughtered the feelings
We had for each other

Loving is a crime
And I am afraid
Of committing it again
AnxiousOcean Apr 2017
If winning you
is by losing myself
I'd rather not play the game

I guess i'm too weak

that eventually ends

Winter
AnxiousOcean Apr 2017
Snow pours;
ice's everywhere.
But nothing's colder...

I am living in a tropical country where winter can't be found. But I guess i've felt it since she left

Drivin' at night
AnxiousOcean Apr 2017
Shredded leaves as blades of winds drenched
Night is so young yet trees are seen sway
A moon peeks from grey clouds, its gaze follows
All that heard is a tune on earphones
Your mind savors the memories on the road
Yet you wish the journey won't end
Mar 2017 · 309
She,
AnxiousOcean Mar 2017
An art
Made and created
Written and read
Named and called

A fault
Flawed yet beautiful
Scarred yet strong
Wounded yet whole

A tune
Felt and tasted
Sung and wasted
Played and swayed

A story
Known and forgotten
Freed yet chained
Opened yet ended

She's she
An imperfect irony
Yet a fun, deep journey

Unrequited Love
AnxiousOcean Mar 2017
For my love begs nothing

Unique
AnxiousOcean Mar 2017
Do you wonder why you don't belong?
Do you wonder where you belong?
Do you call yourself different?
Do they call you different?
Do you try to fit in?
Do you try to **** yourself fitting in?

Why?

You don't have to

You're strong
Don't pretend to be weak
Just to fit in

You're brave
Don't pretend to be scared
Just to fit in

You're deep
Don't pretend to be shallow
Just to fit in

You're UNIQUE
Don't pretend to be them
Just to fit in

Be the river in the desert

:)
AnxiousOcean Mar 2017
:)
What if I choose to paint me a smile
to cover the fears and pain for a while?

What if I decor a smile in my face
so I can mantle my disgrace?

What if I draw a smile between my ears
would you believe that I still have fears?

And if I write a smile over my ache
would you recognize that it is fake?

No.

Because all you have
is a pair of eyes
You lack ears
and a heart
Yet those eyes
are poor
Poor enough to see
that you are the reason
of this smile.

This fake smile.

NONSENSE
AnxiousOcean Mar 2017
Because I've been lying to everybody
I even lie to myself
I tell lies that they believe
I tell a lie that I would believe

I know you really don't care
None of you do
Well, guess what
Neither do I

I'm okay
I really am
Express pain in a shorter way
And yes, it's a lie, anyway

You won't understand me
You'll drown
I am more complicated than this poem
You don't even know that this is a poem

I'm alone in a small crowd
Drowned in deserted drought
Blurrier than a vague hope
Weaker than a decrepit old skyscraper
Deeper than the depths of a core
No one
Nonsense, eh?

Well, yeah.
Okay is enough
No weird things to understand
Nothing to elucidate
I'm okay
Just okay
Okay?

God, my Heartbeat
AnxiousOcean Mar 2017
A small rhythm I hear in my cage
Beat that sings loudly when I leap page
You whisper even when I sleep
Whose noise has depths of an ocean's deep

When I'm with exhaustion, you demand for rest
With fastest song, you stop me with your best
Your music continues as long as I live
But when I'm done, you'll proceed on other's rib

You never fail to bring me heat
The heat that comes from a single beat

We met an awful night
Your eyes were not bright
I thought I could be your light
To surpass everything with delight
Seems like I ain't right
And we gave each other fright
The ending’s not here yet
Still in the fight
Blindfolded, armed with flashlights
In the aftermath
I embraced you so tight
So tight that I almost lost my sight
Now we play like an air and a kite
Looking forward to our next flight

Selfish Love
AnxiousOcean Mar 2017

Nostalgia
AnxiousOcean Mar 2017
Being trapped in a sort of tragic ballad
Yet, different from the sadness that you’ve had
This sentiment can make the weak become mad
But the strong sees its beauty and turns glad

Bead of pleasure that lurks in the past
This happiness is quite vague and quite vast
Hold onto something, trust me, it’s a blast
Blast built to bring joy and gast

Be careful, you might get lost in this maze
You might drown yourself by giving it a gaze
Why don’t you just stop and set it all ablaze?
Or let this haze leave you in a total daze?

TRUST
AnxiousOcean Mar 2017
You’re a gift I give to everyone I meet
A presentable gift, raw and neat
You were taken by those people of my fond
A matchstick that ignites a snowing bond

Joy overwhelmed me as I share pieces of you
And I hope those recipients felt the same way too
But now look at you, you’re broken into pieces
Like a glittering powder or fine shattered glasses

Can’t you see the pieces that project your reflection?
Aren’t you tired being trapped in the game of destruction?
Your beauty fades and you slowly became weak,
A skyscraper built and designed to be a brick.

Now I’m afraid for you to be shared,
At the end of the day, I’m the only one who cared.
But don’t be pained, you are still free,
I just cannot see you crying in debris.

Once Upon a Dream
AnxiousOcean Mar 2017
I know you; I walked with you once upon a dream
Your eyes reflected like a shallow stream
I gave you everything even my fragile trust
Not knowing that you can easily break it into dust

You stole my wings thought no longer can fly
But I rose and reigned and I still went by
Hatred filled me and I hunger for vengeance
Now it’s my turn, be ready with my ambiance

But I fell in the cliff of my own curse
A trap where I cannot even traverse
But this deception is what I need
In order to continue, in order to proceed

I had wings once they were stolen from me
And now I’m taking back my property
The one you stole without a scream
The one you stole once upon a dream
