idle princess
Ay Oct 2020
Pale faced princess trapped inside the castle in her cotton candy pink dress.
For a while she's been stuck in a mess as broken cassettes play back her regrets.
Cigarettes since she's been dead, trapped inside the castle in her cotton candy pink dress.

unavoidable sum
Ay Mar 2021
I'm afraid you've become everything that you hate
Of this endless cascade which you wish to erase.
There's an escape at the end but first you must taste
The mistakes they created,
My dear it's called fate.

Explorer
Ay Jan 2021
I have a bad habit of searching for beauty in beasts,
And meanings in senseless situations.

Never dim your power
Ay Apr 2021
I thought I was things that I'm not.
And now I know myself.

Stolen soul
Ay Feb 2021
Take a breath.
There wasn’t more you could’ve said.
It wasn't in your hands,
You were only a kid back then.

Take a breath.
There wasn't more you could've done.
Tragedies bring out strength,
This cruel world takes them when their young.

Train tracks
Ay Sep 2019
Like a train on its tracks;
throughout the journey of life you will run out of fuel
or repeatedly question where the route is leading you.
Never stay stagnant.
Take your brief stops, but if you stay stagnant in the rain ~/ in the same destroying frame of mind /~ that's where rust forms.

If you don't manage the rust,
or don't try to get your train clean,
you'll destroy your / self /.

Some have never endured the storms that fell during your route
so they can't understand your high fares.
Their route seemed smoother & easier,
leaving you wondering why your tracks always led you to abandoned tunnels.

Appreciate those who chose to stay during those peak and hectic times.
They sat by the windows, saw some of the fog you drove through,
but never saw your perception from the drivers seat.

Slowly getting to grips that my misery and sadness not only delays the schedule,
but delays the route of self.

Discern
Ay Oct 2021
His answers are loud though there's not a sound,
Responding in a way no language can translate.
His reply lies there where deep silence resides,
Subtle but apparent are His excellent ways.

Fear not the darkness as it spreads misleading doubt,
Creeping us to a path of negligent state.
It stands in our way dressed in a delusive disguise,
Leaving us asleep despite our eyes wide awake.

Insultingly ignorant
Ay Jan 2021
When you think of her do not misplace her to a state of dishonor.
She comes from a place where love and peace is all she intends to offer.
Ay Jun 2021
Inadvertently they teach you to respect yourself much more than to go through the same experience again.

30/03/21 Harbouring.
Ay Mar 2021
Brief, but enough to make things clear. Enough words that weren't intended for my ears.
I didn't say a word.
It was then that it all kind of made sense. I realised my feelings in separate situations had been fair & I placed such boundaries for my defense.
But I can't utter a word on what I just heard. If I speak it'll destroy her life. If I keep quiet then I destroy only mine.

Light emerged its way
Ay Sep 2019
People fall differently.
in the hardships of this world.
Your downfall and humility
becomes your strength admittedly.
Incoherently, light emerges its way.
Buried below the surface
harboring feelings of betray.
The once grey path that led you astray
guides you to the message,
if you just obey.

Once you submit to the owner of mercy
He'll guard your heart like no other security.

resemblance
Ay Aug 2021
I've never come across a lucid flame like this before.
The further I go near the more I feel the force.
I know if I dare get any closer this is going to really hurt
because if you play with fire you’ll only get burnt.

10.21
Ay Oct 2021
I listen, watch and consider every little detail.
Every little action, every little word as I try to dodge the resulting effects of their trail.
I keep thinking and thinking till I can't think anymore,
Like an uninvited guest the thoughts come knocking, denying me of sleep.
I wanted to be connected and freed beyond everything I could be,
But difficulty always seems to point its finger back towards me.
We put all our energy into a false dream where nothing is as it seems,
Leaving reality to feel so far out of our hands reach.
A million galaxies could never satisfy the human soul,
For the human heart has a void that can only to be satisfied by Him alone.

Depths of the valley
Ay Aug 2021
This one goes deep beyond the surface,
Into the depths of a valley.
It's like losing my way on a late moonless night,
Searching for purpose in hopes of a sign.
Deep between the mountains I hear a melodious chime,
Theres a soul by the river wth mystical light.
In a matter of moments our paths are aligned,
In the depths of the valley beneath the infinite sky.

Humiliated
Ay Aug 2021
You'd think one gets used it by now
Being caught in a crossfire as bullets collide.
The turning of heads looking back in surprise,
Takes you back to a state of distinctive decline.
You're shrunk down to nothing in the high of the cries
With no help in sight, just lingering eyes.

believe yourself
Ay Jul 2021
There's a difference between the person you are and the person you think you are,
because people will make you think you are a person you're not
and that's the problem with people
they only believe in what other people believe
and if you believe other people
you'll forget to believe yourself.

Cocoon
Ay Sep 2021
I'm back into the cocoon
Feeling as deep as the ocean
And as reclusive as the moon
It's better doing everything in silence
In my silent poems and prayers
Not in the field where blossoms started to bloom
For it is there he hides to misguide us
Scenting the air with violets and affairs
175 · Oct 2021
Garden of love
Ay Oct 2021
Welcome them into the discrete division of your garden,
Though do not be disheartened if they choose to depart.
You're an aroma of love only a few selected can fathom.
Let them not disappear from the realm of your heart.

Birthday blues
Ay Oct 2020
If you give me just a minute of your time,
I could tell you stories about my life.
Could you give me just a minute to get it off my chest,
Something's on my mind that I can't ever seem to address.
It's that time of year again where I have to act elated and pretend that I feel like celebrating with this recollection in my head.

A Nightmare
Ay Oct 2020
These things don't occur in
d r e a m s,
They only occur in
n i g h t m a r e s.
You find you're floating down a
s t r e a m
Of an endless track of
f e a r s.

Be(lie)ve
Ay Oct 2020
Don't believe a smile or a tear.
Don't believe what you hear because often actions don't adhere.

Only believe with your eyes closed.
Only believe what you feel because your intuition always knows.

Young blood
Ay Oct 2020
"Do I run from the madness or surrender my life?"
Former words that replay while he rests in his grave.
He tried to escape from the issues they made,
but returned to the premise,
betrayed by a blade.
Oh son of Adam, not a single soul should remain,
We've come to this world only to leave it one day.
Nothing will stay though we ought to meet one day,
And until that day I'll remember your tale.

Life connects
Ay Jan 2021
Of all the things that are wrong,
I turn to the things that are right.
And then, what seems to be wrong,
Was actually right all along.
141 · Feb 2021
Call me a rose,
Ay Feb 2021
For I bloom when treated with respect,
And thorny when handled without care.

Internal locus of control
Ay Jan 2021
You can't blame others for how you feel.
It's inside you and it's always been inside you.

Counterbalance
Ay Jan 2021
They don't know what it means to be loved by someone whose heart has been disturbed.
Someone that despite their inner bitterness, gives their love with all the sweetness in the world.

anomalies
Ay Sep 2021
With time I encounter a portion of people who are anomalies to the rest,
a minority who are deeper consciously with substance pleasing to digest.
I capture meaningful effect as essence flows out between their breast,
catching their frequency spreading like a wildfire in my head.

Metamorphosis
Ay Jan 2021
Would you prevent a bird from falling if you knew that was how it learns to fly?

And without prayer, one can't gain release.

Losing touch
Ay Jan 2021
Without arousing pity, without sparking saviour spirits,
I can't express myself in a way where I can feel comfortably understood.

Ay Dec 2020
Sometimes you have to close the door behind you,
And stand in the vacant hallway alone,
In silence.
To breathe. To think. To listen.

Rocky beginnings
Ay Jul 2020
Maybe the trauma of my past plays a part
Of the feelings in my heart that dont match my head.

'love'
Ay Dec 2020
I couldn't get them to **** me but loving them was the most exquisite form of self destruction.

Fight or flight
Ay Dec 2020
It's like,
The harder you paddle,
The deeper you sink.

Equivocal
Ay Nov 2020
The best and worst part of poetry is that nobody will ever truly know what you meant.
96 · Dec 2020
Physical pangs
Ay Dec 2020
I imagined my body broken just enough
to stop the feeling creeping up into my chest.
95 · Jan 2020
Phone call
Ay Jan 2020
Oh dearest what can I do to eradicate your pain?
The crackling of your usually comforting voice
as you call not to complain but to explain that he's at it again.
While I hear your tears in the trembling of your words,
I hold back my cries in a vain attempt.
You're stuck in this repeating cycle and chain of events
Which leaves both you and I dented.
But I know it's not your intent,
you just need to vent.
And I know what he says is not what he meant.
So forget it, ignore him, his words don't represent true feelings of his self.

But what if what he says is exactly what he meant?
Then my pleadings to God have been a waste of my breath,
unheard, cos there's no solution to this crime.
The only solution is to be patient with time.
Just stay patient with time.

Tides
Ay May 2021
It's like being stuck at shore yet somewhere near the rise of a wave.
I'm impaired with some fears yet the appeal lures me in.
93 · Nov 2020
Dignity
Ay Nov 2020
I've got a mind full of unsaid things.
There's things I should've said but I wrote them out instead.
You won't hear the words unsaid 'cause if I said you wouldn't listen, if I did it wouldn't make a difference.
