wrong

It was wrong to touch you...
It was wrong to love you...
It was wrong to miss you...
Wrong to call you..
Wrong to tell you that I'll never love another...
Wrong to make you mine....
Wrong to see you...
Wrong to want you...
Wrong to ache to be with you. ..
Yet I can't stop...
But I have....
And I still want all of these wrong things. ..
I still feel all these wrong things about you...
How could we ever be right?
Encompassed in all the wrong things?
Let me know when it gets right for us....
I'm overwhelmed with the wrong....
and then I hear your voice....

there's the sadness of you. we will never be... My heart longs for you. yet you're unattainable. I feel we are running in circles this never ending love affair.. Some days it's worse than others. and I can't reach you and I want to. we have all these missed occasions and marked moments...
I'm lost here.  We are made of absent spaces.  This recurring heartbreaking breaks me.

I'm missing you today.  Who am I kidding?  I'm always missing you... it's a constant in my life. I'm not good at patience.  I never have been.  I try for you though.  For us. For the us that isn't really.  We are hitting our 3 year mark. Crazy to think that I've loved you this long. Just know that I always love you and think of you. I hope you do too.
I carry your heart in my heart.

In a world plenty of cruelty,
inside and outside our cities,
are living the ones who are constantly being treated like 'nobodies'..

In a lake of pain,
they are drowning..
Under the rain of unluckiness,
they are living..
with nothing concerning humanity,
we are watching..
watching without doing anything..

For how long will they have to suffer?
For how long will we ignore their sorrow?
For how long will we laugh at their fate?
For how long will we let humanity down?
For how long?

Dying after living a life full of fun is something..
Dying after offering to people a simple chance to live a life better than they used to know is everything..
Learn to give..
you will thrive in whatever you do..
-Sharvish
Sometimes it hurts when seeing people in situations we do not want to find ourselves into..
Help them as far as you can,
because we never know..
life is full of surprise..
you may need those people's help tomorrow..

They said:"Live in a way for people to remember you as you leave."
I say:"Live in a way for you not to regret anything when death knocks on your door."

Lying in my bed
--reading ...

It is November, I am in NYC
--25 pages later ...

I am standing on a street corner in Istanbul
Outside the Kybele Cafe, near Sultanahmet tram station
Two British men, Ethan and Dylan, are talking ...

Senses engaged.*
Drinking in sights, sounds, smells of Istanbul.
As I can feel the excitement of this city.
Anticipating the story that is unfolding before me.
I am immersed, no longer in NYC.

Just then, a door slams, I am jolted back from Istanbul.
Back to my bedroom in NYC ...

How long have I been lost in this book?

Cold concrete, isolation, barbed wire and stories of crime echo among these walls.
Trust not the cellmate, do your time, lonliness is in these halls.
A good soul waits, degrades, rejects the best of days that are offered in this place.
Dream of days outside, amidst the real world,  if only I can finish this race.

People come and go in our life,
Some will leave marks, Some will leave scars,
We carved those memories into ourselves,
But someday, just someday,
He will give you someone  that will stay,
Just wait for his time and pray.
There is always someone who will stay with you that God will give. You will never be alone forever.

In spring ...
Bright, strong and straight
Filled with moisture
Prominent veins on your skin
Strong winds blow, you flutter
Producing a dance show
At night you are quiet
No eyes to see

In summer ...
Color slightly faded
Wilted from the heat
Crying out for rain
Trying to hold on
Nights are warm
Stars pierce the night
Illuminate your shape

In autumn ...
Color transformed
To red and orange
Parched skin a translucent fabric
Death is near
Edges curling

In winter ...*
You are invisible
