Parallel

We are not just similar
We are parallel !
In this cruel world of all kinds of vectors
It's either an invariable distance
Or a fully superposed confusion
No single intersection
And we lie there
stubborn and hopeless
Craving a translation

We are not just similar
We are parallel !
Our limits confined to a single plane
As life flows in all directions
We miss the marvels around us
In every remaining dimension
And we lie there
Blind and shameless
Craving a translation

Louder words
Barely heard
Answers clouded by blur of ignorance
Questions falsely trigger negative emotion
Chaos in misplaced transference
As mazes form from conversation
And we lie there
Deaf and clueless
Craving a translation

Not even a cascade of tears
Can bend us to converge
Tried turning the other cheek
We failed again to merge
Until one day, we exhaust our energy
Shields get broken, armor gets heavy
Only our inner demons left unstained
But they decided to flee our weak body
So we **** the pride with a suffocating hug
Bend the frown with a devastating kiss
Poison the anger by our cleansing drug
We let go of our ego, off to our bliss
And we lie there
Victorious and united
Achieving a translation

Then days go by as we oscillate
to the finish line in this dance of fate
We survive, it seems
We relive on the extremes
Aligned in happiness
or divergent in depression
In mystical perfection
or in catatonic emptiness
Stubborn and stiff
Blind and deaf
Clueless, shameless, hopeless
Craving irreversible translation

But we are not just similar
We are parallel !

In A Shell

Amazing people by her spotless shell
Hiding with a smile what she couldn't tell
Enchanting hearts with her paralyzing spell
Trying to compensate her need to be Free

Deep inside, beyond this gorgeous shell
Is a precious pearl in a sugar-coated hell
Colorful talents and creative ways to excel
An infinite beauty only the Wise can see

Prisoner behind this bar-less shell
Expecting Serenity to ring her bell
And dissolve the fears she tries to repel
As if peace can grow on a tree

As your fragility vanishes in a vigorous shell
Your Divinity remains a mystery to tell
Some wouldn't be able to handle it so well
Others would fight you but not me

So if you ever find yourself in a broken shell
I'll be the arms where you can safely dwell
Drown deep in my ocean, grow and swell
That's where treasures are meant to be

Relapsing war

You are the vase on the edge of the table
Falling down at minimal action at anytime
and there is no enough glue available
to fix the million fragments you'd become

You are the drug overdose
And the only antidote
Swinging to each extreme dose
Intoxicating then catching falls

We are a puzzle of mismatching parts
Failing to show what we must portray
We're on a journey of intertwined paths
With a broken compass to guide the way

Peace endeavors gone with the wind
Never stop the impending storm
Boiling blood under frozen skin
Will never keep our hearts warm

And so we wait
We wait for life
For the new season to overlap
as the old one fades
For the clock to whirl
At a faster pace
For love to show
in a tight embrace
For tragedy to wear off
the angel's face

Wind, Soil and Water

The white orchid, static and bored
Until the Wind plays her a song
And so she dances, claiming her reward
Cleansing Wind as she sways along

The white orchid, frail and homeless
until the Soil becomes her shelter

And so she rises, strong and shameless
Embracing ground as she digs deeper

The white orchid, dry and withered
Until the Water perfuses her vessels
And so she sparkles, a colorless flicker
Exhaling life from root to petals

But hey, what if I tell you
I want to be your Wind, Soil and Water
Would you deny my irrefutable offer?

I'll smell you like the restless Wind
So you can shiver to my melody
I'll hold you tight like a weedless Soil
So you can grow old and mature with me
I'll rinse your tears like fresh Water
So you can smile eternally

But hey, what if I tell you
I live to be your Wind, Soil and Water
Would my dream come true or shatter?

And even though I'm all by your side
I've always been out of your sight
Since you're looking at the Sun above
Giving the Sun all your love
Amazed by the Sun's power
Thinking you're a Sun-flower
Mourning Sunset, celebrating Sunrise
Endless circle of frowns and smiles
Vicious denial of your maze of lies

But hey, I'm telling you
I'll no longer be your Wind, Soil and Water
Perhaps now, will it start to matter?

Dessicated Heart

YOU !

Your touch rained a generous flood
Of all the bliss that you created
Your ocean turns barren fields to mud
But why am I still dehydrated?

Frail we are, in a world of ravaging forces
Don't try to push away the raging cyclone
Alone we are, with our unheard voices
Pleading for peace as we loudly moan

Here we stand after all these years
My dessicated heart can't absorb your tears
And they can never moisten my cracks
So hold my hand to run for the fall
To rise again above all our wrecks

Let our freedom guide our tracks !

Like an electron

Like an electron
I spin around you
in every direction
Like a proton
you drag me towards you
in elliptical fashion

Like an electron
I can cross the world
in a blink of an eye
I'd be free like a bird
without you nearby
But lost and orbitless
Forlorn and worthless

You are the source of all I seek
My existence is limited to your proximity
I see infinity in your raging light
yet ALL you see is my negativity ...

Your love is my specific energy
Thunderstruck me
Shifted me to a higher level
Into resonance
Your hand in mine in synergy
Perfectionised me
Turning every flaw into a marvel
Into excellence

As i watch the time pass
as you slowly lose your positivity
I'll abuse myself to earn some mass
or try to reach some kind of neutrality
'cause I see divinity in your loving heart
but all you CAN see is my negativity ..

Yet I will keep rotating willingly
Until you free me from my stupidity

Possessive Obsession

If you want to cry
Cry
But only on my shoulder
Even if the reason is me

If you want to laugh
Laugh
But let me see that laughter
Pouring the peace inside of me

And if you want to go
Go
But let me stay glued around you
Wherever you roam
My caring eyes upon you
My sheltering arms your home

But if you don't want me anymore
WANT ME
otherwise you're a criminal
Destroying a human life

And if you can't trust me
TRUST ME
You can't be skeptical
When betraying you is cutting myself

And if there's another you love
LOVE ME!
For no one deserves your light
Other than me

Forgive my sick obsession
To always hold you in my possession
You're just too good to be true
An overwhelming passion

No!
Wait!
Take back what i said

I love you to a point
I will set you free
Flutter in peace
Whenever you wish
In this needy world
Be wherever you want to be
I don't own you
I am not selfish
My gorgeous butterfly
Nor am I a cage you'd want to flee
But i beg you
Please don't vanish
But come, all over again
And choose me.
