flowers in my soul pray for rain,
tulips, orchids, roses travelled through vain,
roots, leaves, thorns dried in the ground

lost glory of summer breeze,
ease before colours fall,
tall they stand, in abyss of time

where captains scream,
To starboard! Time of glory is upon us!
battle ships at storm,
waves splashes to neptune's wooden angels

cry for love! cry for peace!
my dear Star of Greece!
shed a tear for summer breeze!

Boxism
Felix Hackberry Sep 2021
the day is here,
once again,
they drag themselves,
to boxes,
we call,
democracy,
a number here,
number there,
vote with voice,
that doesn't resonate,
their frequencies,
and we forget,
unkept promises,
Hope plays hide-n-seek

I've seen the world change,
not by numbers but words,
written by a drunk poet

Ode tosorrow

tomorrow is a shivery thought,
one I stated yesterday too,
yet birds are still singing today

Nevermore!
Felix Hackberry Sep 2021
Oh how the ruins of romance are sad,
kissing in the rain, wet, cold, just bad,
dancing in the moonlight drunken, just fab,
wondering should this turn me on,
or I just embarrass myself,
in front of Hermione, next,
comes morning and it's due,
screaming        
                             "nevermore!"

Whatever it's worth
Felix Hackberry Aug 2021
Once you, you and you,
made me cry in my room,
and when I say,
I'm happy for you,
I truly mean it

And all those times,
I curse you, you and you,
late at night in my room,
and you're all dead to me,
just know,
I don't mean it

As there must be,
balance in the world,
there are you,
and me,
writing opposite word

Felix Hackberry Aug 2021
I've come to find,
there's two types of poets,

-ones that can't write a word,
and ones that are stuck writing-
in their childhood room

Am I aware of climate change, you ask?

I have seen seaspiracy & cowspiracy,

I'm somewhat of an expert on this field.

Demian
Felix Hackberry Aug 2021
hours pass by,
I guess days sometimes change,
months, I haven't known in years,
somewhere deep inside my mind,
words howl once again,
call me to write once more,
I don't want,
not now, not yet,
time shall come when its due,
paint pictures of a world so new,
a magical place,
we shall all be in a queue,
a world, not ruled by a few

Totem
Felix Hackberry Aug 2021
they say two roads
diverges, hoax!
there's a lone crow,
on every highway,
one that i vow,
resembles,
a modern day poet,
breadcrumbs,
in a blistering,
debauched sphere,
thy be our totem,
post-mortem gravestone;
"death by thousand poems"

So sang the moon
Felix Hackberry Jul 2021
I often sit on the moon,
one, real as any afternoon,
a place, away from here,
in my beloved atmosphere

views come soon after,
some vague and quick,
some remind me...
corners of painting, yes that is it!
where nothing happens, it's like,
silent waiting, for one warm waving

but when sun hides behind my moon,
and shadow of my palm covers the earth,
there's days I wave the sign of peace,
flip the bird at ease, then are the days,
it's all just old rock n' roll ways

Fractals

Hope
Felix Hackberry Jul 2021
I sat by,
the railway station,
young people,
with pride flags,
and costumes,
had fun,
minding their own business

I thought:
it's beautiful
perhaps there's hope,
after all,
buried,
somewhere deep

then curtain came down,
for no reason known,
duo of drunks,
spoiled their fun,
yet hope seemed alive,
this time,
it was the bully,
who ran

short time after,
a man,
cigarette on his lips,
that somebody else,
had already smoked,
drank an ice-cube,
from plastic bubble tea cup,
that somebody else,
had already consumed

and I thought:
hope truly sleeps,
perhaps too deep

Chance

check-
mate,
by a move of pawn

now

please, please
reset the game,
I beg for,
one more go

a chance to see
whether the game,
will be the same

Oh goddess, Amen!
Well-nigh wrote another love poem

Humanity
Felix Hackberry May 2021
Underneath iron dome,
lies truth of humanity,

between ask uncle elon and delusion,
lies truth of humanity,

somewhere in you, truth of humanity,
lies

untitled advice
Felix Hackberry May 2021
read Bukowski
make mistakes that twists your gut,
lay on the shower floor,
so cold, even warm water doesn't help,
make eye contact, when you're death afraid,
drop out of school,
lose some friends,
how else would you learn life

Trick
Felix Hackberry May 2021
You took my love afar,
like video killed a radio star,
left me standing in the shore,
no more ice cream in my cone,
what a beautiful trick, by dondurma man

American Robin

So sings American Robin,

Seeks no time or place,

The idea, of great voice,

Well nothing truly, remains forever

Within me
Felix Hackberry Apr 2021
I've had my fair share of travels,
touched, the most glorious flower,
been, in the unforeseen sea,
lands of gold, peace, never to be reached

                     -

what lies now, at home,
nothing here, yet all thee,
within me

Morning once lived
Felix Hackberry Mar 2021
As I'm laying in your bed,

A sleepless night has turned to morning,

And as you go through your routines,
I, lay there, adoring your beautiness,

You give me a smile,
Not the ordinary smile, no,

It's one of those that speaks through life itself,

One of the rare moments,
When all there is, is in this room,

You and me, smiling at each other

Dawn

What a time to be alive,

New day, mask on,

The eyes, they don't lie,

Is your character off/on?

Heart

With finger, and breath of intimacy,

Last Time of Times
Felix Hackberry Mar 2021
There will be,
last time of times,
place where time won't turn back no more,
so until,
I reach this foreign land,
I give you choices,
for voices within, makes all kind of noices,
ones I enjoy, some hurtful decoy,
but my life,
too short to think twice,
too many times, you preached I'm nice,
so leash is on, chokes once more,
stings deeply in my souls core

Facade of fuckups
Felix Hackberry Feb 2021
Grand finale of days Opera,
nocturnal protagonist's fulfillment,
the reason mornings ****,
why all night we wanna ****,
why sleeping alone means bad luck,
I must not be alone here,
atmosphere of this thought,
gladly knows mere,
yet no more than mere facade of fuckups

Gift of Curse
Felix Hackberry Feb 2021
My gift of curse o,
No happier to choose,
To write melancholy,
This the gift,
The curse though,
To writ, with feeling,
I must be there deep, so deep o,
For art I'd dive deep, so deep o,
Give my life to live forever

A Love Tattoo
Felix Hackberry Feb 2021
your words are easy,
so easy to believe,
your smile is dreamy,
so dreamy to deceive,
dare I say,
I want to trust your word,
dare I look,
I need to look your smile

the needle stings,
far deeper than before,
I hope it's normal,
when you're getting a love tattoo

Two kinds of people

"There's two kinds of people,
Those who stay..."

Cruel
Felix Hackberry Feb 2021
You cruel witch with a poisonous arrow,
Left me here to suffer,
Wonder where the antidotes are now,
And as I'm laying in the gutter,
Venom running in my body,
I cut my limbs off one by one,
As only heart remains, I cannot,
For it is not mine to cut,
My heart, is yours, cruel witch
Feb 2021 · 94
Night window
Felix Hackberry Feb 2021
I open the attics window,
For I crave a cigarette,
I see trees,
Clothed in snow,
Under white dots,
That some call stars,
It is cold,
While cigarette clothes me,
And warms a poets heart
Feb 2021 · 86
Chaos
Felix Hackberry Feb 2021
To be truly heard, would create fear,
They would question their meaning,
Distort the balance of self-images,
A chaos of truth can't live within,
Ripping the paint away,
Underneath just an empty canvas
Feb 2021 · 85
Monday blues
Felix Hackberry Feb 2021
a morning comes,
everyday until it won't,
so I wake,
drink coffee or whatever,
heartbreaks,
get easier by the day,
pick up a paper,
read it,
gaze it,
same news,
just different country,
once again,
I think I've learned,
something,
some...thing,
manifest it,
say never more,
so before night comes,
I write,
or whatever,
go to sleep,
and think,
shall I have,
this pleasure tomorrow

Broken
Felix Hackberry Jan 2021
you find a person,
and get caught,
in their broken life,
this is when,
you should turn away,
walk away,
with good consience,
and when you don't,
you are,
but a good person,
**** their sorrow,
to your already broken soul,
for there seems,
to be,
room for some more,
every last drop,
you ****,
and when they,
finally smile,
this is when,
they walk away,
wonder why,
and when,
you have changed,
cruelty,
of being,
but a good person
Jan 2021 · 99
Judgement
Felix Hackberry Jan 2021
Even the brightest light hurts the eye,
And darkest pit has life of its own,
Even love sometimes hurts,
And sadness gives back,
Even best and worst,
Will go and leave,
Even

For I am the Sea
Felix Hackberry Jan 2021
Am I not brave
  enough to love,

Is my heart
  still in it's place to fall,

These questions
  haunt me and call to shore,

For I am the sea
  so rarely calm,

One drop of water
  in the shore,

Some moments later
  dry and gone

For I am the Moon
Felix Hackberry Jan 2021
Her love for sun I don't wan't,
She loves the warmth,
But look in it's eyes she can't,

I'm shining when it's dark,
Again, she is sleeping,
Waiting for you to wake up,

But when you do, it's late at noon,
And my beauty is gone,
For I am the moon
Jan 2021 · 531
Truth
Felix Hackberry Jan 2021
Another star dies,
Another day is gone,
You think it wouldn't matter,
But to us it's all there is,
Now lost poets, who once loved
Gather around these stars, watch the universe,
To write this same verse

One cold winter night
Felix Hackberry Jan 2021
That coldest winter night in mind,
She found the person of her kind,
Deceiving words by the man,
Made the woman lose her mien,
On a bus stop I saw this all,
I talked with her before the call,
Said to me, this man is obsessed of her,
I kept her company for a while,
She thanked me for reasons unknown,
And her knight came but not in white, nor in armour,
Black dressed, hanging suspenders and envy on his face,
Oh, how we silently.. laughed at the façade,
She joined him to the cold dark night,
I was left with a hope, she made her choice right

A Magical River
Felix Hackberry Jan 2021
In deep forests of the North,
A magical river streams forth,
Never too far, never quite close

It offers beautiful scents through nose,
Whispers, of eternal red Rose,
Know that these promises, comes with a terrible cost

On a never ending river, no quarantee,
you won't get lost,
Travel upstream and eventually it becomes a bad dream,
Float downstream to a place with no mean

Now, warnings aside, know the path to river and back,
And stay not too long, for the path gets covered,
by each seasons song

Now enjoy the magical river, and the fruits of paradise
Felix Hackberry Jan 2021
Blinded by beauty I was,
and now, streets of Paris sting,
remind of life's cruelty alas,
turn passionless, in a time of spring,
so I dance, with jazzy steps,
from Arc de Triomphe to Champs-Elysees,
forever young, forever Immortal,
gods favourites dance around,
all the way to Place de la Concorde, here,
they all wish to be on line,
for quillotine that turns back time,
send them back for one more rhyme,
Kings, Lovers, Poets now cry,
their melancholy is stolen, oh why, o'why!!

— The End —
