what is to trust
is is to entrust
your soul to someone
is it to become from one
to two
come i'll give you a beautiful view
of my abandoned heart
since i trust you
i hope you to won't break me apart

we're all sinners
some of us just learn
to accept
regret and overcome
our sins
while others live
their entire life bound
by the chains of their sins

after the battle
the blood was washed away with the rain
the sacrifices were forgotten
their lives became history
and history became a legend
and the legends were forgotten

they just left-
no goodbye-

I hide in a corner
too afraid to face my demons
its like silent 𝓉𝑜𝓇𝓉𝓊𝓇𝑒
I hide in a corner
to run from reality
like to this world, I'm a 𝒻𝑜𝓇𝑒𝒾𝑔𝓃𝑒𝓇
I hide in a corner
awaiting death
death just shrugs and says, " 𝒾𝑔𝓃𝑜𝓇𝑒 𝒽𝑒𝓇"

I want to cry
but my tears have run dry
my heart has moved on
but it crashed on the way
I'm awake'
but my eyes refuse to see
maybe I'm better of shut down
cause I've run out of battery

Soaring      Looking
                      through                down
                      the sky                  below
                          just you             nowhere
                                  and I.    to go.
          
                                                      We found
                                                  a                    This
                                            cloud                            is
                                            with                            where
                                                no                          we
                                                others                will
                                                      around.    be.
                                                                              ------
                                                                                    -----
                                                                                          you and me

Many a'night I've groaned like a wounded
Lion scaring my own shadow and
Left myself boneheaded
against the wall I dragged my feet
In ruins that wedded my grief,

Then I turned around;
could that be you soul brother Holding?
the rope so tight beneath my chin against this iroko's root,
My blood bleeding with tears,
I screamed but only my soul heard me.

But then came me that broke the shackles,
I redeemed my being!
The droplets upon my eyelids now taught me;
You were just a DREAM!

not everything that gets broken
needs to be fixed
sometimes letting the wind
carry away the shattered pieces
is the only choice you have

I keep telling myself
that its ok to be alone but
sometimes I find myself crying and
craving for someone to hold me

stars twinkle
dawn light
drowns

chirping birds
voice sweet
blown up to noise
hooting vehicles
on roads

Whitewashed wall blue
colored turquoise grey-cyan absence
darkness was better than staring
Watching nothing while everything turned
sitting hollow and uncaring
stalking each shift of unsuspecting hue
Watching whitewashed wall blue

close to the jaws
of death
innocence is
a motherless fawn
seeking comfort
wherever she can get it

the confused cheetahs
maternal instincts
override predatory pull
a priceless predicament~
she licks the little one's head

gazing at stars
when struggles with
darkness deep down
stretches the night,
I seek counsel,
searching you
amongst the brightest
of lights above.

when you're lost
who do you turn to
I turn around
and see no one
but myself
yet I have abandoned myself
so why wouldn't you

"come pray to god"
is what they say  when there's nowhere left to run
you turn to him

the soft touch of my mother's hand
her warm embrace
the dreamland
it's slowly fading away
                               a little.....
                                      just a little longer
                       let me hold on to it

Your sweet lies
They really do taste like candy
Sweet in the outside
But slowly destroys you from within

do not cry
for the dead
mourn the living
we must continue
to bear the pain
and sufferings of the world

you are the reason
I don't believe in love
you're all my past that turned into memories
my chocolate
which destroyed my teeth
guess you broke me pretty well

It happens when life gets in my way,
that words in my head won't reach my hand,
they linger and fly away again,
on the soft breezes of hope and make-believe.

I never stopped making poems.
I only stopped writing them down
in the moments of silence, which have
become so scarce these days.

Tonight I've locked all windows.
I like to say that I put a pen in my hand,
but would you have believed that,
in these times of keyboards and touch screens?

So I sit here, staring at my screen and
slowly, very slowly my brain-hand coördiation
is gearing up, but it's like opening a rusty tap,
all that comes out is a bit of brownish water.

beautiful silence
beautiful pain
we're only human
we're meant to dream
lost in a life full of mistakes
we do what feels right
then fall with no grace
chased by the sun
escaping flatlines
dreams are a curse
wake up you're alive

in a garden
I blend in the crowd
in a vase
I'm so alone
in this world
where do I belong?

the past is like shackles
I could break free
but I'm too afraid that
my future is not what I dream
so I'm better off in prison

I don't blame you
for abandoning me
nor do I blame me
for feeling pain
nor do I blame this world
for that what it is
I can only blame
time
it was never really on our side
now was it?

he said he'd walk through
hell for me
but the moment he saw fire
he ran away

I said you might just fall for me
and in his head, he knew
id never fall for her
he did end up falling for me
the thing was he forgot I said
" if you do fall for me,
I'll have to break your heart"

the music
                    of your voice
                                                the scent
of your lies
                              the warmth of your presence
            it has disappeared

The light post held on the high road
was found to create dents into the
veil of darkness.

That comes into play when the sky
is emptied of the moon and the starry
dots because of the black cloud.

But when the summer arrived for the tree
canopies to gain in thickness much enabled
to hide the body of light, the light post could
not pierce the veil of darkness.

Although you could still the music made
by the morning bird to soothe the mind and
heart.

I'm tired
of expecting something
then seeing it shattered right there
over and over
like an endless cycle
of hope and despair

they say
you become what you
surround yourself with
I surround myself with nightmares
am I a nightmare
I surround myself with invisible friends
does that make me invisible
I surround myself with toxins
so am I toxic

even my pen betrayed me
when it ran out of ink

right there
yet so far
I can take it
I can hold it
protect it
why do they stop me
why do they hold me back

if messages could be conveyed through words
the world wouldn't be what it is today
so take action

a lonely ghost
wanders by the coast
with the ocean view, he's obsessed
in ***** white, he's dressed
he's got, friends
but their lives have reached their ends
so he's a lonely ghost
nothing less
nothing more

toads poetry
and trees autobiographies
about chance meetings with odd visitors
near-death encounters
miraculous recoveries
the miracle of family
and those dawns of sweet peace

one can only speculate  however
how our human characters would appear
in this down-to-earth writing

there being a shortlist
a very slim list actually
of heroes to choose from

I look like death
coming in the door;
full of rage with an

icy stare that freezes
your body at its core;
purple and blue tints

stain the skin around
my eyes broken vision.
Nearly two days have

gone by without sleep;
if the dead were walking
I'd be mistaken as them.

why am i here

I wish that
I did not know
where all broken lovers go
maybe then I'd have let you go

time just won't stay
I guess it's bored
all it sees is greed and pointless drama
I'll make it fall in love with me
but I ended falling in love with it
so one-sided
it moved on
and I'm stuck
tick-tock
times up

I go to sleep
Not cause I’m tired
Not cause I’m sleepy
I just do it
So I don’t have to stay awake
