Forget iambic pentameter,
or rhyming every line;
your a poet or your not,
if you think you are-that's fine.

Forget the mystic musings,
let's call a *****, a *****;
just give it all you've got,
hey, we're not getting paid.

Forget the morbid statements,
they don't get you anywhere;
and if they ever did -
who the hell would care?

Call the glowing rose, a rose,
not some flaky, foolish flower;
call a downpour- heavy rain,
not some puny shower.

Call it love or call it hate,
not some stupid choice;
but shout it from the mountaintop,
in your strongest voice!

I dare not share
So you can stop your stare
I really don't care
For my feelings are rare

I am here with an open mind
For the hidden treasures I can find
But your attitude is so unkind
Stating many others are lined

It seems you are confused
Or you think you've been used
I am not here to be accused
So piff off ****, am not amused...

I want to be a bright star
In my own realm to hark
Way above the others
That shines in the dark

Bright like the morning sun
More than a diamonds spark
A one of its kind born
I want to leave a genuine mark

Tho, my hands can't reach,
The sky where the stars reside
Maybe oneday I might just greet
When my soul will finally abide...

My body is a chariot
Pulled by five horses
Each day duly proletariat
Surrounded by many forces

The horses are my senses
Tied by the rope of feelings
The driver wears filtered lenses
It's my brain that does the dealings

The rider is my humble soul
Doing its deed each day
The horses alert of the foul
When the driver changes its way*

"My body is a chariot,
Chariot has five senses such that the horses
Horses tied with ropes, these ropes are my feelings
Feelings in the hands of a driver which is my brain
Brain consoles the rider, and this rider is my soul..."

A truth untold
The doubt flames on
An evidence I hold
My world, all torn

My friend, my love
I cannot seem to find
Answers from above
Nothing comes in mind

Why, my dear,
Do you not care?
Was I a burden,
That you had to bear?

I saw you romancing
In arms of another
In the rain, dancing
Forgetting me, rather

I took a snapshot
And left in pain
Flowers you bought
Lied to me again

What's this love about?
When you're a cheat
I had no doubt
Until I went to meet

She told me,
You guys dated for long
As of what I see,
I am out and gone

A cheater, a liar
Played me well
Put my heart on fire
Pushed me in hell

A last gaze, he gave
Drowned me in pain
I told myself to be brave
And use my bladdy brain!

Concealed with pain
Pain in my heart and soul
Soul trembles within my body
Body almost numb by fear
Fear of losing my close ones
Ones those are too sweet
Sweet and dear to my heart
Heart that fills and flows with emotions
Emotions such as care and love
Love of true and trust, not fake
Fake is just not in my blood
Blood relatives,  whom I really adore
Adore my siblings near and far
Far beyond the horizons some live
Live with expectations each day
Day flies quickly and so does time
Time and tide waits for no one
One of the proverb speaks
Speaks of truth, for whoever seeks...

The first bird (bard?) of the morn
I peeped into the salon.

Are you ready mate? I queried.

His eyes were ashes of night
and I doubted his mood.

I should be, he said
your hair is my livelihood.

Make it short I said
top bottom and the sides
and his scissors was Beethoven
soothingly rising and falling
making the sweetest sound
celebrating martyrdom of my hairs
resignedly falling on the ground.

But too soon it was over
and he held the mirror.

Wouldn't a little shorter be fine?

Nope, he smiled
considering your hairline
further recession would be a disaster.

I paid him buying his logic
and like a symphony
skimmed the air merrily.
