Sometimes believing in my illusions keep me going

Anybody read her poetry yet
she's an artist
a word smith
a true poet

Anybody know her joy yet
she's a lover of words
she's good at crafting and toying with words
she's a timeless poet

Anybody know her yet
nope, I don't know you
but I know your words
full of peace and honesty
charms and divinity
love and heartbreaks
undoubtedly you are a phenomenal magnificent poet
mad love and respect for you
Born Feb 2015
It's safe to say that I have grown out of this imaginary world
I've accepted to fight this battle and ran away from this illusions

Life is a gamble but death is certain

Am a man of many faces
but today I choose to be courageous

                        humbled despite my venomous thoughts
I choose to rise above and be that hero you think I am  

I've been a tenant of hopelessness
today I dare to be happy and take a leap of faith
today I vacate this home of frawn, misfortune and puppetry

I choose to be me
inspired by bipolar hypocrite imagination
Born Jun 2015
remember to fly
to let go
to unburden yourself
from the clutches of malice

remember to smile
while the sun
still shines brighter
and the weight of your yesterdays
is much lighter  

remember to live
don't just exist
listen to some house music
and shake the misery away

The period for getting fat is over, about to be replaced by resolutions, dissolutions and delusions. People will resolve to lose weight, the resolution will work for the first five weeks of the year,otherwise known as January,until the smell of fries entice them to a fast food joint and they will momentarily, or forever forget their resolution,which will dissolve. Their fast lives will take them back to the delusive idea that a little indulgence is not that harmful -well until next January

Life happened
And dust settled on silence
Nothing could be said
Nothing could be heard

But memories
Could be felt
Born Dec 2016
She lives in a forgotten tone
thoughts of a fairy rhyme
Still taunting her fingertips

Today
the world felt heavier
but
Her pale blue eyes
Always shining despite the craters

She traipsed all over the city
Searching for her lost kick
Stuck in time
with words stuck in her throat
Born Apr 2020
Peddling through her dreams
Wondering if she has sacred spaces

In a world deluge by darkness
She needed to trace those places

Let me tell you something you don't know
or maybe you do

Earth  is a place of many wonders
You meet people with the worst immorals
girls lose virginity
crooks are born
gangs formed
and president's
well I don't know much about that

Now am on to something!
pay attention

Very determined to wear a 'piece' of cloth
**** doesn't begin to describe you
the world has lured you
now you  feel like immortal

Getting wasted
vomiting on the pavement
club fights
one night stands in the alley

Your father cannot begin to digest that you drink
go to a night club
or even not the child he raised to be a saint

Everything was okay last week, but now it feels like that was ten years ago
Born Sep 2014
I still write about life's tragedy
and its circulations
the things that call for celebrations
and the ones that cause damnations

Am not good with goodbyes
i  never was
when things grew tough
i walked away

I've never felt a thing
i escaped attachments
i stayed away
and embraced solitude

I know most of us don't
understand my poems
my character is not that out
standing
i dodged bullets
and my heart grew solid
Born Sep 2014
Wait first
please don't judge me
am just a human

Right this instant
i have fallen for this girl
i don't know what to do!
am only human

Call it a crush
or maybe am just a stalker
am only being real

I have this great fear
like literally am slave to this fear
i can't make a move on a female
my insecurity is just too much
Born Feb 2015
So i wanna write you a story
Something motionless
time stops and heart throbs
darkness reigns and fear strikes
Love is all I had, hate is what i grasp

So what happens when stars refuse to shine
and the land is left to be hollow
like the despair we cling to
or the cracks in our hearts

Something happened to earth
it's veins flowed with the darkest of waters
torn into pieces  

we sing songs of hope
with faint hearts and low tones
hoping they don't hear the misery in our voices
Born Nov 2019
tell me how it feels to be an introvert
with all emotions tucked tight
no one to access them

tell me how to sing a song
that slowly tears your soul apart
but you still cover it with hope

yesterday i saw pain in your eyes
and your smile
suddenly changed into sadness  


tell me why you chose to drown
instead of letting my hand hold yours
Born Apr 2016
Weep my child and do not hold pain within yourself for it will  turn into a snake

Love is just a bad poetry that nobody wants to read
but everyone wants to write about it

Cry my child, for one does not bury a child without burying a part of one's soul with it.
Cry, for one cannot comprehend the ways of God.
It is for us to wash away our painful confusion  with tears and then to carry on.

For yesterday is not today and today is not tomorrow

She did not die, slowly but surely the wound healed and soon there was only a scab and even that fell in time leaving only a scar - for there always must be something on memory, a little disharmony, a barely visible break from the continuity of the weave of life

What happened to hello poetry
Born Dec 2014
I hated that feeling
I hated not being in control of my fate
Born Jan 2018
When I write a poem about earth
I want you to shut the **** up and read
despite your constant bragging
that you are a feminist
a painful journey bestowed upon yourself
Which you truly can't comprehend

When I say money isn't happiness
I mean go and get it tattooed
engraved
Embedded
In your head that it ain't happiness

When I talk about love
I want you to know it can easily be broken
It is fragile like glass
and light like a feather

When I say loneliness will always creep in
know that pain and suffering is at the door
life on all levels can hauntingly disappoint us
but the marvelous grand thoughts of hope
Keep us moving

I learned my mistakes from my neighbours, you can never touch me
Back from the streets when I was young and couldn't draw a picture
always skating
just skating my days away

He ain't messing
my heart is baking
Sloppy drinking
thinking alcohol is problem solving
always on the edge, testing blade

Am jogging, am sluggish
still attached to the emotions
am fainting
detached, isolated
forgiving, forgiven
but never forgetting

am a loaded pistol
stronger than a missile
those kitty kitty ***** meow days are far gone

He's the skinnier
and the drunker

Just a few cents
for your pride is all he seeks

Sell your soul
the devil is in a good mood today

If these poem ever made sense
then you'd be the craziest
Just like her

Like the tales
She confides in

like the miniskirts
or the  cloths of the dark

your high on kush
Heaven here she come

Today I've realized the weight of the word someday
It's empty
It has no hope
It's painful

It's the worse kind of torture
For an innocent soul.
It's not today
Tomorrow
Or the next day
It's someday

"It's a robbery",a top policeman says on my car radio,and reassures folks that this will be over preety quick.

I step on it.man,it is the longest 30minute drive of my life.

"My wife and daughter are in there," I plead with the soldiers in the din of gunfire

"Baby pick it up" I whisper countless times,holding my phone to my ear. I punch redial. Nobody answers.

I am John Doe.husband.father.freaked out.

I am not a curious onlooker. My two reasons for breathing are in there. I will camp here as long as it takes.

my wife and daughter need me.

I am John Doe. Son.brother.Believer.Praying for a miracle

I have not eaten for two straight days. I cannot. No father can stuff while his two sweetest things are eating the bread of sorrow

My daughters babyish innocence will make my wife stronger.I am convinced

My little girl had the Arsenal "love" to turn terrorist into evangelists.

We are all Jane,John Doe's.affected. broken. Shaken.Trying to live.exist
this     is for every victim of terror attacks, worry-less

I speak about money, greed, ego
i write about life, pain emotion, love
i pen about stories
more stories about my story and most stories about your story

I told you about betrayal
cause I once clung to some nobody
i  just like pianos
something about it cools my heart
i 'm only beneficial
they only want my lavish life
i sing about destiny
what do i know about it?

I just wanna use you
cause love is all I steal
i  know something about strangers
Sometimes they fill the void, and maybe execute your wishes

What about us
Searching for broken answers

What about earth
that it can't let go of disasters

What about love
that it inspires lot of crazy stories

What's up with nostalgic tears
and friends
who left without saying goodbye

What about life
that Is so paradoxical

What's up the truth
it's filled with so much lies

What about reality
that is filled with absurdity

What about humans
and there fixation on power

here your lives at risk
they call you a gold digger
but the bruising winds knows better
bitter cold nights knows better
but what do they know?

Hell always upon us
when will we be spared!
always pondering on the same questions
that brings endless tears and memories
but what do they know?

still doing your best working this **** pole
at dusk we enjoyed blankets
and uncertain meal we never had
but what do they know?

It didn't matter if you ever fell in love with the moon
safe heaven was all you cared about
so you clouded the light that  illuminates you
and buried the once beautiful tales
but what do they know?

today I wrote you the stories of dusk
don't be quick to judge
but read and listen

19 hours
That's how long am awake
for 19 hours I have to keep my sanity intact

Sometimes I wish i existed during Adams time
a time when you didn't have to pay for fruit
or water
or basically pay for your own existence

Life is sour nowadays
things are tougher
people grieve because they exist

have *** with everyone else cause you can't take it anymore
take a couple of pills cause your too tired to fight
look for a rope to hang yourself
or maybe just jump from a bridge


This is how we grieve
this is how we handle our problems

When am stressed beyond repair
i lie down
close my eyes
imagine am at an island
alone and free
walking naked, and I don't care about anything

*but then I open my eyes and its 19 hours all over again
patience, patience

a man came to me and said
Revolution was the most painful thing that ever happened to him

I didn't see it
We hardly noticed the tides changing

With our unwavering conviction we believed
with passionately believed
nobody warned us
We blindly went all in

But that's just it
We believed the half baked truth we were given
we believed the compassionate lies we were told
we utterly feel in love with the "truth"

We could see change and hope
we could finally see the dreams of our
sons and daughters
mothers and fathers
coming to light
we could taste victory and the sweet fragrance of freedom coming our way.

But we couldn't see the destruction and annihilation that it came with
the pain and suffering awaiting us
The void and ache that would envelope us
That the price was going to be catastrophic and dreadful

Haters! stay away


This is what I told myself
just to feel better
you know, like i matter
that's all that i ever wanted
to Matter

Being that guy
the guy who knew why x =y
better than nothing else

I just wanted you all
to know me
cause i have been holding onto heaven
but what's the use of holding onto something
you'll never have

Caressing, laughing  
Cause you felt the stars
in her galaxy

Loving, smiling
Cause you felt your heart
twinkle with happiness

Lonely melodies
Cause you felt empty
without his touch

Sharing, posting
Cause you felt inclined
to open up

Crying, hating
Cause you felt your heart
broken into pieces

Doping, puffing
Cause you felt the urge
to numb your pain

Crawling, running
Cause you felt the need
to move  forward

Hoping, praying
Cause you felt God
Pulling you closer
This one is dedicated to the three most awesome women that inspire me with love, hope and kindness despite the craters life has to offer.

In my mind it was good
It was a captivating piece

The story grew with flashbacks
violin and piano
to enhance intensity
and enticement

I wanted you to feel my emotions
Live those moments with me
become entwined with the story


I hope words won't fail me
I gave it my all
I tried

Hand me a note
Of a cynic brother
about the wars we've fought
the blood we've split
and the ones that bonded us together

I am a sinner
with dashing looks
a serpent smile
and a lust greater than a vampire

I hear them cry
when I close my eyes
I see their voids
Desperate
Desperation is all they cling to

I am a sinner
With a beauty voice
and an army of corpse behind  me

I sin for a better course
just like you lie for a better tomorrow
just like a mantra

many things left unsaid
but for sure
these life is uncertain
Born Aug 2014
Humans can be cruel
am left to reminisce on the brutality
The look on  your faces
Excitment, fears and tears

Why do you invent things that will harm you
Overwhelming your brain
I've heard violence begets more of it
all alone in a world gone mad
next time I'll pull the world underneath you

You defame death
but life made you suffer
I promise you life after death
Or maybe the sun won't rise tomorrow
Life isn't fun
till you see your enemies jealous
I promise you
today death will be more painful

I'll turn you into a morgue
****** with much enthusiasim
my intentions are wicked
thoughts lethal
I've set out to conquer
very sinful, fearless secrets

I have been suffocating for a long while now,
stepping into the light has been a battle,
i should step into the ocean and let the waves decide my fate.

Its about time i confronted my worst fears
Born Jul 2014
If I told you a story
a story of the heart
the one that butchered my soul
the one that toyed with my heart
the one that left me with pain
the one that my prayers were never answered
the one that was
the one that is

The one that smoked me
the one that turned me into ashes
the one that danced on my grave
the one that dried my eyes
the one that took my breath
this is that story


We are here cause money isn't fame
We are here cause your the bullet that you used to take for me
we are here cause we don't make sense
We are here cause i need to find a way to breathe
we are here cause love is a real fiction
We are here cause death didn't want us
we are here cause ilove you is just a chorus
we are here cause the broken pieces,can't be fixed
We are here cause I don't believe
We are here cause i don't believe in you,us...love
We are here cause you resurrected and i died
we are here cause i died along time ago, but death couldn't have me
we are here cause i hate you more

We are here cause you didn't set me free

Let me tell you my story
Our story
the one everyone is afraid of telling
"the after"

It's been five years since we fell in love
since we had time for us
Since we  were crazy about each other

If you asked me then
if I would catch a grenade for you
in a blink I'd say yes

but now
things are different
I love you
but I also love them

the little ******
who scream with so much passion  
you'd go insane

But I still remember you
I meant us

the flowers I got you
the ***** nurse dresses that you intoxicated me with


how amazing ballerina you were
your love for Spanish songs
and those depressing soaps that never ended

and of course
we ******* everywhere
Toilets
Table
Kitchen
on the beach
you name it

But
What about now
what happened after we got married

a trip down to the memory lane.,
a must not be place,
but the maze and the reasons leave my heart pounding ,
what am i missing!
Why these obsessions.

Maybe am looking for comfort
a  reason to like,
or i just wanna feel better,
was i wrong or right!

Am i inflicting this on,
the confusion,the pain,
why puzzle my heart with this pain!

Am bleeding,screaming,
trying to race away from this torment..!
But sometimes you have to go back to move forwad.

This is a walk on flames,
it hurts! A tragic truth,
each step is a relief and a peek at the future

Walking on the badlands
secluded darkest part if this planet
My heart melts, as I relay this dreaded tale

She crawls with a dwindling hope
Her worn out feet couldn't carry her any longer
HELP ME, she says
With a fainting voice, low parched and raspy  
that's dying from existence.
but the society dares not to blink
From the mare that stares with great fright

She drags her feeble legs
Holding on to chair next to her
While attempting to stand up
Trading her life for mercy
RESPECT ME, she yells
Am I not a human being
for without my womb
Would any if you exist.
A man paused
and paradoxically stared at her
with unquenched thought  of great irate
"what is this thing doing here?"
A glimpse of what women of today go through.

Praise be to God, Lord of all the worlds.
The Compassionate, the Merciful. Ruler on the Day of Reckoning.

The twigs of tales bound  together
from there
a drop of water turned into a green lively

you heard so many stories about lies
and the truth rebelled
now you hate
barely believing  in anything

Devil's jealousy is so wild these days
the lord of darkness is right here
and you
and you know nothing

You pray to the gods
and you sacrifice lambs
for lost hopes
am not your ghost

I don't want to be content with what I know
I don't want to wake up to that regular normal life
The predicatable pattern
The usual circle

I want to to challenge my reality
My ever constant changing perception
Expound on my imagination

I don't want to settle for that regular normal life
I don't want to live and not taste the waters
I don't want to be limited by "this is how it's always been"

I want to deeply and empathetically  analyze
Transform the meaning of reason
Offer a vacuum of doubt instead of acceptance
Be critical in our dawning reality

I want to listen, truly listen and observe
I want to know why you believe what you belive
I want to think
