The Voice
The stench of rotting foliage choking the gutters, cripples my lungs as my trachea collapses. I gasp for air, missing most of the steps down the ladder. Tears pounce on my face and I look up to the angry grey sky. It sparks, gleams and rumbles," Am I not merciful." Pouring and roaring violently, I stand drenched in the cold.

Candy
The sight of it, waters my mouth and quickens my pulse. Sealed and concealed to my eye, it calls for my soul. Weak and fragile it tames beasts and monsters. Addictive and cheap, yet it always leaves a knot in my belly.

The Star
Was I untrue or you were a liability.
Choosing only you over a constellation.
I threw bits of myself to keep you afloat.
The ocean floor can withstand intense pressure, but eventually anything gives way to a sustained persistent attack
Exhausted to the bone, I let you go.
Out of time, the memories still cling on to us.

Seasons
Let the flower bloom before plucking it.
Wait your turn or get the knife.

Love
The favorites learn and play by the rules
Like couples share a life for the rest of their days
Pure love knows no limits, it extends beyond reason
Freeing shadows from our hearts and minds
Like lovers share more than a toothbrush

The greatest crime
The rain quenches all forms of life
The sun shines on all faces
Neutral souls flow without restraint
I chose God and the heathens hated me
I chose you and I lost it all
My greatest crime was choosing a side

Eve's Daughter
Growing up without mother's love, with only the sky to look up to.
The current would wash me up where it wandered.
The world could only pity for my kind.
Channeling my burning rage into my trade, earned me a small fortune.
The skies were clearing and with that a blinding light emerged.
The light shone in my eyes and the warmth touched my skin.
Trading all I had and was to own the beautiful star, without realizing the light had a mind of its own.
I lost my freedom, together with the memory of my mother.
Chained and conquered by love. I take what I can and wait in line.

Predator
Vanilla with top cherry petals blossom in the sun.
Camped on the park bench, silently observing the crowd.
Without any chase left, I wait on my prey.

Mother
My reaction is mostly neutral and hers falls on the extremes of either side.
Living on borrowed time, she lives only for herself.
With each added year, the more roots she plucks.
Rocking herself by the fireplace, she cries for the long gone friends.
Who could have helped her drown the pain of life, and I help her to bed.
Where she stares at the ceiling, before retiring to her self made Utopia.

The Opera
I like it when you turn to me and whisper,"I told you not to overdress."
The warm tickling air flooding my ears.
As fine people steal glimpse from their rows, and I turn to you.
Sealing your cherry lips with a kiss.

"Till death us do part"
Perennial streams trickle down mother earth's face.
Walls dam the memories, yet they crack at the might of the infite flow.
A freshly picked bouquet of scarlet roses, translates to flashy cheeks and a beautiful smile.
Scared of the lonely void, I sleep in your clothes.
My love, always loved. Flow with the current, towards the blue ocean.
Haunt not my retreat, for your sake and mostly mine.

The Wildfire
Overwelmed with emotion and left numb.
Love departed, never returning my heart.
Radiant hazel eyes enslaved another, for you to command.
Still your flames devour them to ashes, and the embers of their souls burn brightly

Sunflower
A woman who always gets her way.
Never scared of the dark,
you pour your youth on the floor.
Cherished and loved by many,
you grab with both hands;
and let yourself go out of reach.
Like a sunflower above corn.

Dear love
It was beautifully blinding like the morning light.
Wet eyes staring at your picture as the flames engulfed it.
Defeated I retreat to smoke out the pain,
Like a wounded lion dragging; what remains of its pride.

Addict
Smoke fills the lungs, the brain pays the price.
The ******* I snort up my nose, prescribed to cure me.
The capsules I chew, burn my insides slowly.
Off the shelf syrups no longer quench my thirst.

Thin of thick
The thicket forest fans a cool breeze,
that brushes against the furrows engraved on my face.
The rain pours violently, and the rich aroma rising from the sun baked sand; flouds my nostrils.
The voluptuous coke glass bottle filled to the neck,
Ignites a memory of her only silk dress.

The lost love
Without nothing to lose,
The only staircase to freedom.
The taller the walls, the thicker the chains.
She wanted anything except mediocre.
He wanted a Queen willing to follow his lead.

Unconditional flame
Anatomy is a trap,
beauty is the light within the eyes.
An unconditional flame unlike the sun,
which goes by dusk,
but it lingers in the darkest shadows like the
moon.
The same light that celebrates the colors of the
world,
and acknowledges her beauty when you gaze
into her eyes.
Appreciating every shade, the light consumes you.
Sail out and lose yourself.
Lock eyes with hers and let the love consume you.

Skylight
Pretty and extending like the night sky.
Filled with mystery and possibilities.
Decorated with scattered burning gems.
Craving to be a part of your Utopia, but
I'm terrified of the void and the freezing heights.
I look up at times, when alone and happy.
Creating masterpieces by linking the stars together,
and I smile to the peaceful and welcoming night.

Two Strangers
The cell buzzed on a beautiful day.
A text from a girl, so many miles away.
I fell in love with a picture and craved for its touch.
Staring into her eyes, consumed is my heart.
Plump, pink lips revealing a white healthy smile.
Petite, exotic nose picking my scent from miles away.
The mind exhaust itself with infite thoughts.
Buttoned in my shirt, her pulse throbs violently against my skin.
The shadow creeps on the object, the blonde haunts the indifferent.
Very far away but very close to my heart,
the distance between two strangers.

Shamar
Shamar is her name,
lies alone in bed at night,
with a paining leg.
I sweet talk her to sleep,
addicted to Shamar like a drug,
but she is a drug no man can afford.
There is me, cold enough to be left alone.
Shamar is her name,
An angel beneath cold sheets,
She is the south. I am the north.
We explode and laugh it off,
Shamar is her name.

Altagorgeous
Altagorgeous, appealing and delicious.
A full course meal.
Sophisticated and self-conscious.
Meandering and well cut toned  body.
Armoured fearless sun kissed rhinoceros.
She ain't flawless, but surely she is gorgeous.

Life goes on
They changed and the world changed with them.
Improving everything to their needs and immediate gratification.
A world and a selfish specie, till death do us part.
The bride rearranges everything and fuses over anything.
The walls crack to the pressure and wash up the mold.
Life sprouts from the ashes, in the limelight of the day and night stars.
Eyes fixed on the sun, fail to ignore the silhouette.
The climate changes, nature can't keep up.
A globe of complex colours, the chameleons make it work.
Defined identities unchanging like epitaphs in the graveyard.
Life goes on, as dead clocks take a hand break.

— The End —
