Peek

I looked you in the eye
I listened on your rants
I heard it when you sigh
I love it when you smile

You've never seen me once
No. It's not a lie
But then again...
I looked you in the eye

Uncover the Forbidden
grim-raven Feb 2015
Frightened
from the start till the end
Both felt same love, forbidden but still love
Love
the best feeling i have

Bearing it, Feeling it
Trying to be the same
Perfect for each other
but secrets should remain

Night and day
It feels like forever
Invisible but precious
Unchangeable and unexposed

If the world gave us a chance
Our world won't be apart
Barrier will fade
Uncovered inside our heart

Unity in A Category
grim-raven Feb 2015
Things usually have their own categories
From the least to greatest
From the first to last

Categories is where someone do belong
Somewhere people have the chance to start in dawn
In the things they've been longing to discover
Tried to think of over and over

Everyone has their own
No one's left alone
He gave us this gift
Cause he knows each of us is unique

Ironic isn't it?
Everyone belong in a society
Though everyone's obviously an anomaly

Two things is naturally mixed
Cause it's easier to feel like you belong
In a world full of peculiars you can get along

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

Choices
grim-raven Mar 2015
I am a choice
We all are actually..
Even the tiniest specie

But I've always wondered though
Why are there second, third, or so?
We will feel much better if it's not like that
Every one of us would appreciate that a lot

I am a last choice living proof...

Not even second,
Always the last
In the meantime
I just hope everything would pass

Regret or Revenge
grim-raven Feb 2015
It's been a while since i saw that beautiful smile
Seems so long that i can't even distinguish the truth from the lie
It's been ages since i heard that painful sigh
Seems so sad that you feel disgusted by my sight

I've done things i can't explain from the past
Cause dear, i thought it would be easier and the feelings won't last
I'd left you without explaining the truth
The real reason i should have told you while I could

Fate acted like it's the one who'd save the destroyed affair
Making you look like a fool and me, a relationship deceiver
And now, I can't make you listen
Because you want a revenge for us to be even

I know i deserved worse than your cold treatment
I just wish that for once i can make you listen
I've missed your smile and now i can't see that
But dear, I just wish that it would be real and we'll be fine

This is nobody's fault but mine
I've been so coward and weak from time to time
I'd tell you lies for you to hate me more
Now i am apologizing for what i didn't stand up for
We always see the point of view of the one's who are betrayed and called them the "victim". It is true of course but we all know that in a relationship there are 2 persons. Both can love and will feel same pain.

Perfect Failure
grim-raven Feb 2015
Oh God, Oh God
I had wished a perfect life

As seeds grow into sprouts
Which dreams were possible
Sprouts into seedlings
When life is started to be filled with doubts

Seedlings into trees
Which when failure starts to crossed our minds
Most expectations tends to be lowered
With the reality which hopes and dreams can't empower

It is then we start to think of another option
For the dreams, we thought when we were seeds
Is cleared and decided to just be wrong notions

BUT, the replacement doesn't mean worse
IT doesn't mean real life is cursed
Imperfect openings can lead to the best endings
Especially if you know victory's worth greetings
Dreams are perfect. It is the path that leads us to the thought that they're impossible to reach. It is in our decisions if we'll let the path to bring us to the wrong direction or we'll draw our own path for our own success. One thing is for sure, dream is definitely the key for future.

With A Restrained Friend
grim-raven Mar 2015
Thank you

Little boy with a bit of hope
Just a bit ...
Everybody knows

Dreams filled his teeny tiny mind
Creating imaginations of different kind
Doesn't really understand what other says
Enjoying life with a blurry mess

Been a friend to a *weak fragile girl

Her tears were catch for it seems to hurl
Fakes in those times were epidemic
Lucky for her, he doesn't know how to mimic

They'd grown and grown as time passed by
Created memories they'll remember for life
Not only memories but also dreams
Dreams where both of them can be seen

But the boy seemed to loose it
A news from a far seems to hurt him
A pain that normals can't contain
But he knows how to keep it restrained

Not even a hint ...
The girl knows nothing

Until one day

Struggles hit the girl
Weak and fragile
but, learning from him,
Tried to be strong and also restrained

The day ended
And, as usual
The girl and the boy, they both parted ways
Saying goodbye but they know they'll meet again **someday
Friends are there in the fun part of life
Real friends will appear when the pain struck you inside
When I was a kid I hoped to have many friends
Now, I just wanna keep my real one and only friend

Life Is Strange

Life is just a game*

Try It
grim-raven Mar 2015
Life is a short exemplary ride
Goes on and on until you lose sight

Like a train with railroad signs
Warning but offers a tempting fun

Will hurt like a *****
But, at the end, you'll surely miss

You'll never be sure of what it brings
But why not try and fly with wings?
Try it now, you won't regret a thing
You know yourself, you want to know the feeling

*So just tuck your belt
And let the wheels be set
What is it's use if you won't try it, right?
Just try it.

RELIGION

A greatly diverse word
The complexity from each Gods can't be explained

Christianity or Islamic?
Hinduism or Buddhism?
Confucianism or Taoism?

I don't know
No one knows
Which of these is the one?
Which God is the Man?

Each have their own beliefs
Each came from different myths
How the hell would humanity know?
How would a religion shatter every other's ego?

Just what if?
What if Christianity tells the truth?
Would it mean that homosexuality is just a bluff?
Is it just a wrong "choice" and can be cured by having faith in God is enough?

BUT what if?
What if Atheism tells the truth?
What if atheists just have so much strength?
Strength in facing the truth that after we die it will all end?

Until now, evidences are still vague
Even the most religious one had thought this inside their head
What if the world we have now is just an illusion?
No one knows for sure how to cure this confusion

Ways of Living
grim-raven May 2015
Each life contains mazes which can never be finished twice
Don't try to steal other's when you have your own skies
And if you can't fly at the sky
Remember, not all birds can fly
Different ways are being offered in each of our life
Always pick the road where you can feel comfy and high
We have our own tracks that deserve footprints on their own
In every corner, there'll be turns so it's fine to slow down the road

**All other mazes are already being explored
Who will travel in your maze if you won't?

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

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

Solar Nebular Love Story

We are inside a plenum of darkness

Opaque matters
Transparent walls
Desperate lovers
Weak and crawls


We are a spinning nebula of luminous materials

A whirling disk
Gas and dusts
Colliding lips
Until it lasts


We are the origin of us

*Planets, stars
And middle sun
Healing scars
And we were one

The rule of north and south
Opposites attract
Likes repel

But we were not opposites, you see
Tiptoeing on the branches of the same tree
Uncanny similarity and we both knew
Something is wrong and we have no clue

Evidences and theories and proven laws
All were broken for our good cause*

The improbable is what made us
And though it might seem very foolish
Breaking the rules and be as selfish
We can both admit how delightful it is
We have just beaten the laws of physics
This is what we choose
Same polarity but we have fused
Same as ever, I and thee
You are you and I am me

In not so long distance
I saw her standing there
In front of the classroom
Looking like a shy little girl

First period past
She doesn't talk to anyone

I tried to shut my mouth
Going with the flow is how society works
Everybody just wants to fit in the crowd

Nor the weight you scale

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

The day I saw your dazzling blue eyes
How it hypnotize my naive and innocent mind?
You said you like me cause I look like a goddess
Being with me is when you'll stop being reckless

Remember

The day I saw your dazzling blue eyes
How it hypnotize my naive and innocent mind?
You said you love me and you're now ready
And that's when I trusted you wholeheartedly

Remember

The day I saw your dazzling blue eyes
How it hypnotize my naive and innocent mind?
I called and said I need you
But you said there's something you need to do

Remember

The day I saw your dazzling blue eyes
How it hypnotize my naive and innocent mind?
A friend told me something
A secret not intended for me knowing

Remember*

The day I saw your dazzling blue eyes
How I discovered all the lies...?

You and she in one same bed
Then I asked you why it happened
How you told the lie that you and I are meant

You apologized and started to confess
You heartless-*******-*******

Are you aware of a bloodless war?
No soldiers at the field
No armor or a shield
No singing tribal chants
No king giving grants

Have you been in a bloodless war?
The war is a game
A game inside a frame
The boy with eyes of blue
And you without a clue

Together with the boy
A chanted hymn of joy
A hymn of tongue and lips
A ritual without scripts

A ritual of one's own
Tradition for the throne
Until one stops and breathes
And you see the ****** sheets

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

A Father's Letter
grim-raven Feb 2015
If i could get my time back
In this world of wonder, I would
But if God wants me to be one of his flock
In the promise paradise, I should

I've been your companion
Since you're a little minion
Taught you the basics
and eventually, how to live life full of sh*ts

Together with your mother
We traveled the world full of wonder
Little by little, you've grown to ponder
Creating memories we'll cherish forever

But as the world seems so perfect
Problems in our life started to inject
I'd known though that this day will happen
So before this day's sad finale
I want to assure that you'd understand true life's lessons

If you've ever felt alone in this world
Just remember the person who'll be there for you instead
The special someone would always be there
Every time, everywhere

I know it's hard to say goodbye
In times we exactly don't know why
But, Child
You know how much i want you to take care
Cause the world can be fascinating
But i'll can hit you until you start grieving

In your life i served as your father
The one who loved you and your sweetest mother
But we all have the time when we needed to go
Leaving each and everyone we'd know
But don't worry dear cause we'll see each other again
In the paradise of the Almighty God, we just don't know when
People are aware that there could be a time when someone needs to leave even in the time of delight. Saying "goodbye" one last time. But the word doesn't seem right. It should be "see you soon",  you know why?  Cause God won't let the love of the family, friends, or special someone be separated by death, especially in heaven.

Until we are free

Heard a new one
Another ***** you found
But you said she's already perfect
Times you spent are totally worth it

You said you don't regret a thing
Only the times when we're still one being
No problems and awful fights
Your relationship with her is your source of life

But tell me why
Every time you sleep you always dream of you and I
And in the middle of the night in your waking
My name's the one you utter and look at her, hurting

You might make the whole world believe
You might be able to make her feel relieved
You might kept your secrets from being revealed
You might be able to create the lies be weaved

But

No matter how much you try to pretend
No matter how much you think you and her are meant
I can see it in your eyes
You're feelings for her are just in disguise
Be careful in pretending. It has the possibility to lead in pain and when the time comes you can't control it anymore, the real one won't be there for you.

Trio of Art
grim-raven Feb 2015
Art
Simple art
Abstract art
Personal art

Expressed in different ways
Some write songs
For the feelings that sing along
Some dances with the beat
And tries to pull the crowds with it

Music it is
Music's your only friend when you feel alone in a crowd
In a party, in won't be fun without
But sometimes the person whom we think we can trust
Can be a traitor and start acting so unjust

Music can be two-faced
Hurt you in the time of sicked-age
Pain will blow up inside you
It won't stop until you decided to think it through

Drawing, painting, building
A bird, a sea, a tree
Anything that kicks from the inside
Would want to be expressed in an artist's mind
You've no choice but to let it go
Cause sometimes, it is the only choice you know

Writing is the simplest and the thorough
It completes all the art show
Can't be understand by the narrow-minded
Can be the escape of the one who's interested

Takes time but worth it
Especially if the message conveyed is at its peak
This poem is my explanation of different kinds of expressing art. Every person has one in their character. It might seem hard to discover but trust me... everybody has.
