From the moment we’re born we’re waiting for life
A very best friend, a birthday, husband or wife
And we’re missing the time as it passes us by
Eating, sleeping, studying, working, die

The waiting for the better never ends
We’re moving on from family or friends
Then and there and when and how?
But we never stop and live right now

We’re born, we sleep, we learn and grow
Family dies, pets leave and friends always go
The problem is not what will happen then
It’s not how, it’s not where, and it’s not when

No, take a break, settle down and don’t think at all
You have been given a life, now answer it’s call
Not what you like? Well, then change it now!
Don’t let the future make you knee and bow!

You may worry about a trip or test
You may be wondering what is your best?
Well, that’s ok, but don’t let your life
Be murdered coldly by the waiting’s knife
One of the first poems I wrote in english.

I will stealthily come
To steal, the treasure in your eyes
Ready to surrender to you, for my crime
And willingly serve a life sentence*

why do I buy books I won't read
maybe it's the same reason
I fall in love with people I can't have
I never reach out quite far enough
so that these experiences are tantalizingly
untantalizing
and maybe I select a great deal of books
in the hopes of finding one that I will actually enjoy
and I read such a small fraction of them
that I seem to be misspending my money.
but I will continue my vice and form a collection
of books that were
never intended to be read
to sit forever on the bookshelf of my memory,
quiet and untouched
maybe there only to be in stark contrast
to the ones I have opened
and destroyed.
With folded wings,
I rush to meet the horizon,
The kiss of a ****** sunset,
In the arms of a cold grey sea,
Deep in her winter embrace,
I feel her stone cold heart.
It beats still.
There is the warmth of fiery blood,
Deep inside the icy cave,
Beating, beating still.
Let me whisper in your ear,
The words of the wolf,
That cries alone on a hill far away,
Waiting for his lover to rise,
Waiting for her to sing to him,
The lady of the moon,
Separated by dawn,
United at dusk,
Feel the pain in his heart,
Hear it echo in the silence
Of the sea at night,
When dreams are dreamt with open eyes,
She will call upon the waves,
That gently caress the sands of time.
On intoxicated hills,
Silently he waits,
While she sings to the seas,
While she sings the clouds to sleep,
For her grey eyes to turn to his,
But the clouds grow jealous of their love,
Thunder and lightning light up the night,
The storm embraces the sea in it's *****,
And her song can reach him no more,
There's only the roaring waves and the screaming thunder,
And struck by a million volts,
He smiles through the clouds at her,
But her eyes are turned away into the abyss,
And with one last breath,
He cries out to her,
As the lights go dim,
And the noise grows silent,
Silent and still,
She hides under the veil of the cold grey sea,
And in this cage of regrets,
I feel her stone cold heart,
Beating, beating still.

I took a stroll in Central Park,
to take a break and think of things.
Thoughts colliding in the dark,
so full of doubt so full of dreams.

I saw the writing on the wall,
it said "Ignorance is not bliss".
The thought that scares me most of all,
is to think "What have I missed"?
I was your cure
but you were my disease
I was saving you
but you were killing me

God wasn't in the crusades
He isn't in the killing of weapons men made
He didn't solicit the death of millions
He doesn't reside in the tyranny of man
He doesn't just steal loved ones away
He isn't in the evil committed in his name
We have twisted his message of love to fit our needs
For control and bringing others to their knees
His message wasn't meant to enslave but to free
To serve and bring revival to the powers that be
So before we preach of Gods indecency
We have to look within
God didn't fail mankind
We failed him

Cry
Please, hear my cry, Lord
I cannot hold this in
I feel the guilt of years and years
Can you overlook so much sin?

I'm lost and I can't keep going, Lord
But if you sent a voice from the sky
I feel that I would still disobey
And misunderstand, and lie.

I'm in desperate need of your mercy
For your grace to overflow
No matter how many times I come
The peace always seems to go.

I'm living in fear of messing up
And that's just part of life
I should not live in fear at all
You control the hardship and strife.

Am I losing my mind, or just out of it?
Nothing seems to make sense
But I know I can find my way
If I just focus on your presence.

Walk away without a sound
Leave no footprints on the ground
Leave no trace of where you've been
Leave for reasons unforeseen

Walk away with head turned down
Grab the first ride out of town
Blame it all on someone who
Didn’t do what you wanted to

Leave no sorrow in your heart
Leave no room for it to start
Pretend that our love never lived
Pretend there’s nothing to forgive

Walk away and don’t look back
Don’t dare tremble; don‘t attack
Don’t wonder where the love has gone
Or where we both could have gone wrong

Take a plane so far away
That your memories fade to grey
Do your best to  run and hide
Don't ever stop to wonder why

Just pretend I don’t exist
Time’s erased me from your lips
Just pretend we never kissed
I never rested on your hips

Walk away without a sound
Leave no footprints on the ground
Leave no trace of where you've been
Leave for reasons unforeseen

Fly away melancholy
  Fly away to some far-flung lands
   Where you don't need any soul
With your fatters to bind and clasp

              Fly away melancholy
     The joys are standing at my door
         They want to get in for me
When there is not even your shadow

When they're at their peek of brightness

She ties ribbons around the stars

She's been told by some, they like this

Highlighting who it is they are

Outside she spends her evenings

At the edge of her front yard

Reaching into the constellations

Tying ribbons around the stars
