I know you struggle; I've seen
Eyes like yours in
The mirror before.

Sit down. Breathe. It's a
Recreational universe
If you let it.

Open your hands. Look.
What is that?
It's heavy.
Sharp. Red hot.

Hands worn, blistering,
Bleeding. Let it drop.
Here, I'll carry you.


I'll carry you like a father.
Let go of your burdens.
Be mine.

I run on your relief.
When you wake up  
We'll be there.

Among the sea of discontentment
There is always a green isle
Have to swim against the tide
Land of hope waiting for weary swimmer
Who has paddled the rough seas
Finally finding a paradise

The ending seems to be a new beginning, I've learned how to fly from a Phoenix of course.
With every guiding touch, my heart leaned a little less on that crutch.
Softly spoken words fly high among the birds.
And with them I'll peacefully revel, I've already danced my dance with the devil.
No more bridges to burn the mistakes prove to be an easy lesson to learn.
I'll stick with you my dear, only so long as you don't mind my heart resting here.
I drank coffee
from that shabby fast food
Thinking it would void my reaction
to the damp weather due to the gloomy rain

When i took a bath that evening
My tears started to fall, i'm weeping
and Not only my skin starts to feel cold
My chest was gripping, and my heart cracks

It felt like it was about to get frozen
Or maybe it already did
I was just hurting because I found out now
that i am next to worthless

A meaningless stone
without life walking a miserable path

We always fought, every now and then
And every argument is emotional
Those instances send me to thoughts  
of Quitting my life by slitting my pulse

My soul is wounded
My thoughts are bleeding
My spirit distraught
But I am strong, I'm just confused

It was not like those fairy tales
where the princess is in distress
though her mind was set on pure hearted goals
We're not the same, I'm just a poor and confused girl

and i don't even know where this story goes
sometimes i think that im not meant to run my life
reinforced by some people's words
i am just meant to live it

My old self keep dying everyday
To keep tryst with new beginning
Young heart beating with vigor
Every vein filled with brimming hope
Charting new territories
Being better than my old persona
Inception of fresh perspective
Every cosmic particle in me enthused
After fresh lease of life

The shark in dark waters
The cutting of hair
Tell the tale of transformation
And it's you, who guides me there

She says it's typical of you
to tear down and rebuild
And funny that it appeared to be
an accident- not willed

I don't believe that-
Oh no, an accident we're not!
For you are the lid, and
I am the ***

So as we toil and trouble
Bubble and burn
It is simply transparent
For (only) each other we yearn

Mixing and swirling,  feeling the heat
Seeing only our future around each turn we meet.

I'll hold on tight as this brew is fixed
Because no one or nothing is
as sweet on my lips.

When all the pages are drowning in my thoughts and all of my soul has been spilled, I will drift beyond the stars, beyond the heavens, and become another of your dreams. Where forever dances in my eyes and is buried in my whispers.
-Forever, Raine

where a little jet plane keeps flying overhead
writing beautiful things in the sky
like "trust me"
             and "you are what I want"
around and around
never wanting to land

Third Eye Candy
it was not today, when it happened.
strawberries drenched in snow... the variable longitude of our hapless maps
and the whole thing strapped to an invalid,
the regional Apocalypse
of our near kiss. The gun in the hand.
The cool spark of Bibles
and the wrath
of all pygmies.

it was not today, when it happened.
but the choir sang
and worlds between worlds
twirled in the underneath.
and a blanket of Sunshine darkened our pedigree.
but you ate peaches
to dream another
peach

and came from Nowhere...

after me.

Pause, to accelerate growth
Travel gets awry at breakneck speed
Why do we believe life is a race?
Patience is not inaction
As we confuse action with growth
Pause at the right moment
And accelerate at the right pace
Enjoy the trip, with the lovely view
Keep an eye on your destination
You will reach on time
