For you, for them
For me, for him
I bid adieu
Goodnight
Sleep tight
May the angels keep you tonight
May the darkness not swallow you whole
May the suns morning rays
Be the first you behold

Upon waking from your slumber
I hope tomorrow you remain humble
To all the gifts you are given
Even the pain that is risen
I have said it once
I will say it again
For beauty will arise from pain
To feel pain is to know you are still living, be thankful for that...
TThe mouth of Hell, tore from the sea
A black ship rose, from the heart of the waves
Crow's nest eye, searched for signs of soul
The first mate yelled, "8 Bells Toll!"

Phantom Poet
There are trees,
And buzzing  bees,
There are mountains,
Between them the sun rises,
Like a beautiful golden fountain,
The Cool wind blows,
And some prancing doe,
It exists amidst a forest,
There is a flowing brook,
Inside the Hut is a singing cook,
Cooking a tasty meal for the tribe,
There is no electricity,
No gas mobility,
No Internet,
People using fishing net,
To reel in their catch,
During the campfire,
They have a singing Match,
At night,
The mosquitoes bite,
But no one puts up a fight,
The wolves howl in the eerie night,
Howling at the moonlight,
This is what other tribes  pillage,
And this is an extract,
Of my hometown village
I liked it

My heart is broken,
My heart is frozen,
Now I cannot feel,
I don't feel like eating any meal,
My life spins on a movie reel,
This is a big deal,
In front of God I kneel,
Begging like a seal,
To again make me feel,
To thaw my frozen heart,
To again start,
I ask for a clean slate,
I don't want it to be too late,
My life so far is not great,  
Or is this my ruined fate? ,
I ask nothing more,
But a lifelong soulmate.
Well one thing I'm satisfied about
I am LIVING by your name
I will DIE by your name
If this is YOUR will
If this is what you want
Everyone to remember me as
Let this be everyone's will too

Have you realized
What have you done to me?
I am in your LOVE
And I am already dead
I am already destroyed
I am already annihilated
And in your name...

I want to LOVE YOU more
I want more deaths
I want more annihilations
Birth after birth
This life and every life and life after

Till the sun, moon & stars last...

I guess I'll never understand some poems...
I have never felt their pain.
And when it comes to the idea of love...
Well, some people are purely insane.

I guess I'll never truely know...
I have never walked in their shoes.
And when it comes to sadness...
Well, I rarely sing the blues.
