Last Picked Petal
grim-raven Jan 2016
You were the book in the past which I swore to write a sequel with
A wedding, a house, a kid, a garden filled with roses and tulips
But then I realized I deserve a new page to write my own story
I close the book and re-read it once again

*

"Just one more," I said with my heart
The last part of me who don't want to let go
But I know I need to walk forward
With one final petal, with one final blow

grim-raven Dec 2015
In my 16 years of existence
I've learned that everything isn't always that hard
I've learned that base on experience
Probably the hardest stage of everything
Is asking when, where, and how to start

Let Me Shine
grim-raven Dec 2015
One day I will burn too bright and the world will see
I will represent the small stars of the shining city

But please always remember that I have the habit of collapsing
At night time, I will hide for a while and shed the tears that felt like eternity

But don't even think about me because I want you to know the reality
Sometimes the sun also loses and stop shining like how it used to be

And everyone will fear the fact that they will lose their liberty
And theories will be molded and everything will collide in a blink of an eye

But don't worry though because after all,
Collision is always needed to create another galaxy

You Were My Star
grim-raven Dec 2015
You
I* wanted
I wanted that instant
When I closed my eyes and you whispered
You would always protect and guide me in a distant
But I
I didn't expect
I didn't expect this
I thought the promises were really true
I thought that one day you will ******* a kiss
That the rose and the little prince would be me and you
And I
I still remember
I remember how it was
When in my heart you're still on the list
That having you had been one of my top priorities
But I discovered then that believing in your words is just
Same as hoping for the reality of something that does not exist

Even From The Start
You Were Just A Hoax

Minstrel of Silence
grim-raven Dec 2015
I learned to speak silence
In times, they want to hear
But they also brought sirens
With guilty sound of fear

I lay as they watch me
Hoping they would stop
But they stare right through me
Speaking and then slop*

I look straight up
Then I saw you
Tell me
Don't you?
Don't you speak it too?

Sadness and Aspiration
grim-raven Dec 2015
We are seeking sadness
In each other's eyes
In which we see no less
Of people in disguise

I look through you
Same way as you to me
Staring into our souls
Wishing how it could be

Again, we are tired
And always gonna be
Until the time comes
Until we are free

Hoping that one day
We'll find what we desire
I will look at you and say
We will rise and aspire

No Control (Excerpt)
grim-raven Dec 2015
"Are you mad at us?", he asked.
She look up at him and stare in his soulful eyes. She can see the concern and guilt behind.

"No I'm not", she whispered. "I am not mad at you or her. Actually, I am annoyed at myself because I did, once again, hold onto something that I don't have control over."

Which shape do you prefer?*

I choose to be a circle

It's true that I have different sides
So I guess you are now asking why
I always believe in limitation of different kinds
For me a circle being infinite is a lie

Just like how often life can lie
It will let you taste a bit of happiness
But it will slap you hard that you will fly
Because life is that good of an actress
It will break your heart then say goodbye

Which word better describes you?

I am not like the water which flows along the rocks
Or the blood that fills my veins with apparent "facts"
I am not the potion that you swore you drink
You made them turn around me, doubt, and think

No I am **not
that.

I am the dirt that fills my very inch
Because if you ever see me I promise to never flinch
Because in spite the fact that you did that to me
I will stay my own canvass and portray what I should really be

Which word better describes pain?*

Pain can be a cloud filled with darkness
When you want to see the moon but you are hopeless

Pain can be a knife that your lover carries
Then he will stab you in the back and you will perish

Pain can be your never ending scream at night
It is powerful but silent so that you can't fight

Pain is life putting itself on fire
But you should know that pain is what people like me desire

Which word better describes love?*

For me, love is a bird

Love can be free and it can fly
Love can spread its wings
And meet the windy sky

But for  me what describes love?

*Love can be cruel if it is wanting
Love is devious and somehow alluring
Love can catch you without a warning
Love can strike you like a lightning

Parallel Universe
grim-raven Dec 2015
Maybe in other dimension*


I will have the chance to be at the sky
And you will look up every night
I will hope and wish that you will fly
And you will never lose your sight


Because now that you're the one up there
You promised same thing for me
But you failed to wait and forget to care
You collided with her and flee

I Wish I Knew

You left and now I see
All this time you knew the clue
It is because you were too perfect for me
And I am just not enough for you

She's A Thorn
grim-raven Dec 2015
As a friend, she failed once again

You see...
She is not that good to be a companion
She can look heartless in some occasion
Boring and awkward as a person
And she always fell while in motion

You see…
In this world, she is the wrong equation

The One Who Taught Us
grim-raven Nov 2015
Bruises and scars can't be covered
But that's fine because we just need a shoe
As we are getting older
Just remember, they are getting older too

We have different stories hidden behind our masks
But they have decided to remove their own
Because they want us to know that we can cast
Each can conjure magic for the lives we've known

They let us explore the beauty of learning
They gave us lessons in Science, Math, and English
They cheered on us while we are competing
They helped us appreciate what we have finished

But the most important thing they taught us?

They taught us how to see
The real meaning of why we live
They lend us the sacred key
We just need to take it and believe

They taught us how to breathe
Every time our lungs are empty
We just need to relax and appreciate
We are surrounded by life's beauty

They taught us how to laugh
But they didn't tell us how to live
Because we will always have the freedom
And they know that's what we need

And sometimes the ones' who taught us
They will leave in an instant
It doesn't matter how fast
Because we will be crashed by a giant

Though we don't want it to happen
Sometimes they will leave too soon
The only thing we can do is to listen
Because life can get out of tune

Though we will hate what we have lost
We will always find something to hope for
Although our hearts is currently enduring a cost
That will be reason to search for the right door
This poem is dedicated for our dearest teacher who died last night.
We will never forget.
We promise.
grim-raven Nov 2015
Don't be too amazed when you read a good poem, saw a great painting, or heard an awesome song
Observe the emotion portrayed by it
Then think about the person behind it
He created that masterpiece
How? Is it just because he's really talented?

Maybe.
Maybe it's luck.
Or
Maybe he's experiencing that emotion

Everybody does something to express
Just imagine the joy, pain, or numbness behind it
Yes, they can create these phenomenal works
But please don't utter the words "He just wasted his talent" when he finally had enough and swallowed the pills he had been staring at for so long

Liar Liar
grim-raven Nov 2015
Man,

I started having him and you
To both I'm loyal and really true
We all did promise to always stay
And I didn't thought you would betray

But then you grinned and ran away
And then I'm stunned, you never say
You did not treasure him enough
That you hit him hard like you're really tough

Just never ever come back now
You *******-lying-cow
You'll never hold him then compel
Or else I'll drag you into the pits of hell
NEVER trust someone.

Time is Ticking
grim-raven Oct 2015
I just can't be a somebody in your life
I just can't be a someone you barely know
I just can't be an option, that's not right
I just can't be a choice now, you should know

I should be the somebody you'll desire
I should be the someone that lights you up
I should be the certain who builds your fire
I should be the reason you will laugh

I'm begging you to tell the truth
Please just say it while I stare
Because darling my love is a fruit
It will be rotten if you won't care

Lost Voice
grim-raven Oct 2015
A raven was searching for her voice
She used to hunt and prey
It is what she was taught
She'll flap her wings so high
Scavenging every one
She wants to badly impress everybody
Nobody appreciates
She didn't stop

Then she met a falcon
Same intelligence, same speed
But falcon knows how to have fun
Raven can't understand
How can someone be victorious but also happy
He taught her how to
He shared with her a playful nature

They laugh for a long time
They became partners in crime
But in time when falcon needs to leave
Still raven doesn't have a voice
He then said to raven

"Stop searching
You already have a voice
The way you fly
The way you think
The way you live
It is what you only need
To be happy, to succeed"

Wrong Move
grim-raven Oct 2015
You looked at me and then you didn't
We shared a kiss then you asked me something
I said no and then you left
I cried a little, a stupid move
Then I woke up crying
Knowing I actually approved

I Fell In and Out
grim-raven Oct 2015
I fell in*

Into your eyes
Into your heart
I fell in the skies
Then I fell down hard

I fell out

I stand in nowhere
I am right now
You saw me standing
Then I bow

I am I
grim-raven Oct 2015
I'm not the face you see
Nor the clothes I wear
I'm not the color to be
Nor the perfect hair
I'm not the height you measure
Nor the weight you scale
I'm not the *** with pleasure
Nor the sight to tail

No I'm not those things and I think you should know
I just don't want you to expect those things I wouldn't show

I am the coffee I drink every morning
The sweet-sweet kiss of the sun
I am the book that I finished
The one which brought me fun
I'm the music we listen to
You would know which one
I am the challenges that I faced
Both I failed and won

I'm just not a girl or a creation
You can't describe me as none
I have my own dreams and ambition
I am unusual that I am

Grass and Bush
grim-raven Oct 2015
Oh my little grass of hue
You know how I adored you
Although not until I tell
With your bearded smile I fell
Before no one knows, I stare
Deep within your eyes so fair
And I never looked away
But still you didn't want to stay

You know I could have been the flower
I could have been your faithful lover
Instead you chose the rounded bush
Then I come to realized and hush
I'll lie if I say I did not think
Since I've convince myself and then I sink
It can't ever happen now I know
I wish his love will fulfill you though

Oh my little grass of hue
You know how much I loved you

Real Mystery
grim-raven Sep 2015
People always want to seem like a mystery
The way they talk, the way they dress
The way they glimpse through the wonders of nothingness
They remain silent for some time
Then eventually loose control and mixed with the crowd
The one who's left wondering stays silent
Predicting the next move of the obvious fools
Look to your side
Look behind
Observe them look at you
How they feel anger and fear
The stares you receive silently
The real reason behind their cold mystery

Change of Season
grim-raven Aug 2015
Don't be scared because it suddenly changed
Don't be mad because it's not the same

Even the a year that contains seasons
Even the fire that burns the quickest
Even the star that shines the brightest

That's When You'll Know
grim-raven Aug 2015
When I lay on my bed all day
Listening to a Paper Kites playlist
You'll know that I don't give a **** anymore
When I stare at the celing or the view of the balcony
Just don't try and knock on my door

I don't care if you care...
I don't care if you don't...
I don't need anything
From you or your soul

Free Words
grim-raven Jul 2015
Don't let the unsaid words choke you to death

I miss you
I love you
Forgive me


Don't let the toxicity of these words consume your head

They won't know it if you're not being just

Good Luck
grim-raven Jul 2015
It's not the fact that you're leaving that hurts me the most
The thing is I'm afraid that the memories will turn into ghost

I want you to promise that you won't forget too
But you can't  because you know it's possible that we do
The only thing I wish now is for you to be happy
For me, I'll move on and live life without "we"

No Goodbye
grim-raven Jul 2015
"Best friends forever?"
He says forever
With that I conclude-
Bad times won't matter

Walking on sidewalk
Eating icecreams
We talk and talk

I don't have a sibling
He became one
I don't have a friend
I don't care-
I don't need some

With him, nothing else matter
He became my savior
I'd cherish him forever

But in times of contentment
The perfect bliss fades
I don't know what happened

"I'm leaving"
Ok, fine
No worries
No goodbye
Jul 2015 · 400
Wait
grim-raven Jul 2015
The things I see on my window reflects the light you gave to me

Those pictures left under the cabinet reminds me of your word

Forever can be heard

Can also turn to dust

Quality > Quantity
grim-raven May 2015
Quality has more significance than quantity

Which would you rather choose?

A friend who won't leave you till the end
Or a bunch, talking behind your back as long as they can
A lover which values the word commitment
Or the hoes which pop-ups for the pennies you gave them

Trillions of money which makes you greedy, wanting more
Or a hundred dollar which can help the homeless knocking on your door
30 years of life full of happiness and contentment
Or a hundred though it's filled with chaos and resentment

A prayer from a child filled with uprightness and integrity
Will always be better than a politician creating lists of lies and anomaly

Stop
grim-raven May 2015
You decided to end it all tonight
You walk and walk until you're in the middle of the bridge
You take a last peek at the sky
Hoping the stars aren't covered by clouds
You want to die but there's still a little bit of hope deep down
You look around you
There's no cars but wait...
At the end of the bridge, there's ironically a stop sign
Is it a sign or is it just life ******* with you again?

The thing about life is it's like a dog
When you put your hands near a dog's mouth,
They can either lick or bite it
When you risk something,
Life can either appreciate or ***** it

The good thing about a dog is when you care for it,
He'll definitely love you
When you care for life,
It can still *******
