Phoenix

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

Untitled

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

Ephemeral

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

Ms. Popular

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

Come closer

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

Slap

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

Sweet talk

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
