DC raw love
Why do I feel alone, why must this be
I’ve been this way, since I was twenty three

I went to a strange place, where no one knew me
To live a life, a life of my own fantasy

This got me to a place, a place I want to be
It got what I wanted and that was to feel free

It brought me fun and joy, I needed no sympathy
But deep down inside, I was still very lonely inside.

To many times in life, people try to pacify me
That ****** me off, because that’s no me

I try to lose these feelings of loneliness, thats it's not all about me
I need to learn, that no ones is out to get me

I will now try to do this and I want no sympathy
With this love in my heart, is all that I need
The game is over.
We have winners
And losers.
Shared joy,
Dashed hopes.
It wasn't a failure,
It's over.

The artisan
Completes a piece,
And moves on
To the next.
He hasn't failed.
It's over.

Marriage is a living art,
Complete with Janus masks.
It may end,
But not fail.
It's just over.
Mine produced three beautiful girls and one grandchild, so far. It'd say mine was a resounding success... in spite of dissolution.

Fire
fire
in the sky
burned so bright
burned so high
how was I to know
it was the end of time.

Meteor predicted on
its way
flashed incandescent
as it made its way,
shattering into a
million fragments
atmosphere burning
fires starting
nuclear winter
envious of its
power.

A lone figure
on a hill
never knew
such loneliness
as this,
took your hand
and
one last kiss.

The meteor bright
brought the end of time
rendering all of our
fears, petty jealousies
brutalities and stress
our issues
our loves
irrelevant.

If I had known this
before
freedom wouldn't
have been that painted
she-male *****
seductively calling
to me for more -
but could have been
a moment before
that meteor made
its call.

The fires have melted
the stars have
been renewed
the planet continues
its spinning around
the sun
the deepest ocean fishes
continue evolution's marching orders
while a cell phone alarm
flips on
and
the icon shows "no signal"
while beneath
the rubble a
malfunctioning relay
finally finds
that call made
hours ago
and the phone
rings and rings
beneath the
ashen snow
until the last
silence
no one is home.

Mother Earth
finally restored
to
its
silence
once again.
Some memories are so beautiful
That they never fade away
Cutting across the darkness
To light up the present moments
Into eternity they will travel
Bringing solace till the last
They are not meant to let go
Till we have seen the last day
Years past,
We strung
String,
Twenty feet long,
Between two
Campbells soup cans,
Like conches,
To get sound waves.
Now,
There are no
Strings attached,
Yet,
I hear you
Loud and clear.

They said they saw my baby
Down in the city that never sleeps
They said my baby acting like one
Asking for direction
Begging for love

He was my baby
Hair curly and was a nasty
Rendezvous for two
Drinking our favorite coffee
No one knew he was a daddy

All I know that
He left the door
To the place he thought he belonged
Far far away from the sorrow
Cupid aims his arrow to two people
To make them fall for each other
He spreads love to the whole world
But can't have his own love

But there is a girl
He find her so perfect
He couldn't help but fall
And he wants her to be his

How ironic is it
That the angel of love
Fell in love with a human
When he is bound to match her to someone else?

Just because he's an angel
It's forbidden to fall in love
Just because he's Cupid
He can't have a happy ending
Inspired by my all time favorite wattpad story, Karmic Hearts. :)

Angel?

In That Moonlit Night Standing In The Abaft,
Watching The Towed Flaccid Wooden Raft,
I Thought That I Saw An Angel Resting,
Lying Exhausted There In That Craft.

I Call The Girl Out Unbeknownst Of Her Kind Name,
"Hey Young Lady!!" To Which She Didn't Much Respond,
She Looked Up Towards Me Once In Anguish & Collapsed,
I See Desperation In Her Amber Eyes & Resolve To Help Her.

The Crewmen Had Now Been Doing The Paddles After Resting,
I Summon My Captain & Ask, "Do You See That Girl In The Raft?"
The Senile Captain Smiles To Say, "Commodore, Better Get Married,"
I Look Just Clueless To Which He Simply Replies, "There Is No Girl."

True He Was As She Had Simply Disappeared,
I Started Thinking Of My Sleep Needs That Day,
I Looked Around Again In A Hope To Find The Girl,
I Had Compromised My Routine As The Commodore.

Then I Immediately Realized It Was My Wild Phantasm,
Now This Was Just A Plain Illusion Of A Tired Sailor's Mind,
No Mermaids Could Have Ever Existed In Reality & Were Fake,
I Turned Towards The Deck To Go Back To My Bunk For Sleeping.

As I Climbed Down The Stairs To Enter My Room Amazed & Dazed,
I Saw Her Standing And Waiting For Me By The Side Of My Bunk,
I Accepted That Delusion Of My Mind & Started To Lie Down,
She Said, "I'm As Real As Your Thoughts, Don't Fear Me."

She & I-Me & Her, Had The Best Time That Night,
In The Morning She Was Gone & Was Just Gone,
Disappeared Into Thin Air While I Was Asleep,
Each Day I So Dearly Long For Her To Return.
