Once,
I fell in love,
with a ghost,
which wasn't as much,
a mistake,
as it was,
a mystery.
She promised,
she would always,
be there,
but by habit,
she faded away,
gradually.
As I screamed,
begged,
pleaded.
I couldn't,
grab her hand,
it wasn't really,
ever there.
That was when,
I fell in love,
with a ghost,
but she didn't,
fall for me.

How great it feels to conform
Shackled, restrained by norm
Because dragons won't win
Against the fighter planes
And hellfire missiles
Are better than dragonfire
The magical place of peace    
Never touched by pollution
Away from industrial reality
Bullets will take away the light
Strongmen will put out embers
But the war cry of secret rebellion
Will summon the forbidden being
That will once again shine in gray clouds
And the being shall smote the heretic
As the legendary sword of freedom
Will make itself known to the risky
Adventures ragged but shining
Wide thinkers and everdrowsy dreamers
Descendants of crazies and misunderstoods
They hold the magic that allows them
To choose whatever path the story goes
Like the chaotic place called "poem"
Imaginary beasts and sceneries
Not bound by boundaries of these mortals
You hold the magic that will allow you
To choose whatever path the story goes
Like this chaotic place called "poem"
Society
is but a reflection
of the values we fought for and of

those

we didn’t...

I should’ve
waited
for someone
like
her to
come
into my
life.

Such amazing strength,
To be so weak and
Yet survive.
Weak by choice or station?
Beware the void,
but
what if
we are the void?

How do you channel your passion
How do you tap into the stream
How do you rise from the ashes
How do you simplify your dreams

Seven Senses
A million pieces that make a puzzle
Of a girl who’s strong, yet weak and fragile.
So broken and frightened to give her all,
After feeling like a used rag doll.
Days turned to months and months turned to years,
Until she finally found herself breaking down in tears.
Tears of light that gave her time to cope,
And realizing that there was still hope.
The hope she found couldn’t be any clearer,
Because right there all along was a 360 degree mirror.
Still up like walls and a shield of protection,  
Stands a girl staring at her own distorted reflection.
No one, but her will ever have that control
Of loving herself for all the pieces that make her whole.
