Cheer up people do care,
just not as much as they do for themselves.
So don't be mad at yourself.

Smoking chimneys, colorful fireplaces.
Familiar strangers, radiant smiles.
Isolated gatherings, cheerful carols.
The void between.

I wanted her respect,
but I had to earn it.
She wanted my attention,
and I knew not love.
She was a princess,
and I was a beast.

I want love
I want freedom,
and not much to depend on
but I need the truth.

Write and I'll know what you are.
Read everything and you'll know the truth.
Ignore your feelings and be freed from addictions.
Dance naked in the dark and be one with peace.
Look into their eyes, to kindle their flame.

Looking back at us strikes me as the best of years.
You were always screaming,
and I motionlessly anticipated something.
The tension sparked an undying love in me

Death is the future,
Though it may not be the immediate future.
Now is all we truly have,
for it's the only thing we gain and never lose.

Life is better when not in a hurry
As the sea on the tide

Magnificent without doing nothing,
a beautiful sight,
a drug no man can afford,
a little too much, is all it takes
to send them running,
a scene of extreme uproar.

Desire!
A flame that cannot be extinguished.
Quenched one day at a time,
it's tamed.
And for once not a slave.

A villain is whomever tells the truth in an accommodating and tolerating society.

Unable to beguile with your paraded facade.
A ruthless queen after allegiance.
Sheathed swords are drawn, and
may the odds be in your favor.

Slaves wherever I lay my sight,
slaves to oppressors,
slaves to our will,
slaves of fear,
slaves of love.
Slaves to serve
our masters.

Dogs chasing their tails
Women after the elixir of youth
Men pursuing the love of their life
As the wind getting somewhere

It cost too much to be free
Love is safe and lies
The truth is as ugly as a storm
It finds a way or makes one
A path worthy of one

A brush of my paint
A splash of yours
The rainbow is good
And the ocean is better
Together we are indifferent
The poised and quiet

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.

No white knight in shinning armor,
to pay in flesh and blood.
Only the grim reaper, to **** you out.
To stand in your corner; to throw in the towel.

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.

Having conquered myself and others.
A stream through the mountains.
Where I have found and created a way.
I yearn for a worthy opponent,
A different vantage point.
Preferably that radiates heat and light.
Transcending beyond belief.

My greatest sin was robbing you of responsibility,
Depriving you of pain.
Of always intruding the consequences of your sins.
Whenever we judge, we will be judged.
So I had to step back and watch you be your own hero.
That was love's greatest gift.

Life is a reflection of you.
To change anything look into the mirror.
'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.'
One cannot give when without.

Loving you for who you are,
Is marching to war with myself.
Where I drown in the emotional flux.
When the tide settles, I'm reborn,
Into a person that loves you.
For your love humbles my heart

Freedom is a willingness to say no to anything.
Love is a commitment to a side or cause.
Life is being anything and not everything.
So choose wisely.

It's been long since I've searched,
for that one thing.
I have traveled far and wide.
Beyond the boarders, under the blue.
I've known not, to be with it.

Ignorance makes people bitter.
Knowledge/power makes people arrogant.
Wisdom makes people indifferent.

It is not the best days,
nor the worst ones.
Only those that slipped away,
hopefully waiting.
Eating away at time

People everywhere willing to be deceived.
Showering you with roses and kisses,
with each lie you whisper.

A moment of doubt and pain
Something begins to take, once you figure it out
Patience taken by an obvious outward show
Mystery, always ends up misery
Fate, always deals a straight flush
Hollow convictions cloud the soul's yellow glow

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.

It was only a puff,
that turned into a chain of cigarettes.
It was only a cup,
and it's a series of bottles.
Only once and never,
turned into often and forever.
Wars waged on multiple fronts.
Numbed intuition,
feigned indifference.

A cry for each death and birth
The ocean comes in and out
Everything is exactly the way it is meant to be

Darkness is always lurking,
and water is never against or for.
The wind is always in a hurry,
and we insist on settling.

Believing, you raised the bar beyond my reach.
I stretched and eventually snapped.
Maybe I needed another chance or a little time.
The memory of failing myself haunts me,
but that of failing you cripples me.

Home is where the heart is
In the shadows where it's a safe place to be
A citadel to lay siege

Different is all we are, compliments of each other.
Only together are we a force to reckon with.
The darkness only exist to test our resolve.
Never tire for the enemy is always out to strike.
Fear not those around you, but that which is inside
For a corrupted soul reeks of cowardice.

Take and it will be forever yours
Receive and they will strip you naked

We cannot break the law, but only break ourselves against it
Love is eternal and it cannot be achieved

Seek the truth,
not their  truth,
nor your truth.

A dime has two sides
Lacking when alone with you
Overflowing when all by myself
Trusting strangers over myself
