A masterpiece,
perfectly carved,
perfectly wired.

Then came mankind.
who ruins and pollutes each surface.

I've hated each and every inch of my being,
of what I've done,
and what I can't change.

So what makes you think
that your words and actions,
will make me break,
with the things I've known,
of the things I hate.

And in the midst of it,
there always comes a gift,
a breathtaking beauty,
one that coaxes,
and shows,
that it may not be all that it is.

And I don't know why,
why,
to such extent,
that such a gift,
bestowed onto one like me.

In being human,
with desires and temptation,
there's no telling of the lengths we go,
of where we'd reach,
of the distance we fall,
deeper and deeper.

The days that pass,
the time that flies,
the night that crumbles,
if given a choice,
I wouldn't live it all.

In that state of delusion,
with darkness that hazes my sight,
creating such a mythical illusion,
teasing and beckoning.

Enveloped in that cloud,
we live,
as though tomorrow doesn't exist,
like death is naught but a a century later.

Nothing matters,
in the way we fight,
in the way we watch,
in the way we live.

We tell ourselves,
it's all gonna work out,
that pain is constant,
that there's no reprieve,
no acceptance from they who surround us,
yet,
is that essential?

From they,
who just like us,
bleed and ache,
all the same.

And still we want it all,
everything that feels good,
that makes us alive in our skin,
and in sight,
lose the point of living entirely.

It's a struggle, a dilemma;
One that have always been
but a procurement of
emptiness and insecurity,
in the way of a fish out of water.

While life and death was never
brought to front,
it was simply the matter of
awaiting the alloted time.

It would've been good to recognise all the weaknesses and treachery at a glance but in that split second when a point was made, naught came to mind
but a lesson of life.

Of simple humiliation,
of swallowing that lump in the back of your throat and suppressing that gargantuan rise of emotions in the chest, heavy and foreboding.

Because it is then you learn,
of yourself and the world.

No one promises that it'll all be fine,
but there's more to life than
failures and setbacks.

On the day past the point of living,
maybe then you'd understand that it all is necessary afterall.

A twist of fate when blood runs stale,
A change of heart when time lets pass.

You,
a discordant symphony,
who needed naught but a look to understand.

Blank eyes, aching heart,
A cherry top was what it was.

You,
a perfect contradiction,
recalled of a time when the sun still rose
from east to west.

It could've been
but surely you wouldn't deem,
a time of youth,
to see through years.

Torn pages, running ink.
A devastation you left it be.

And it was all simple,
really.

A gift returned,
wrecked in folly.

And thus,
I stood and stared,
An epicly carved being,
eyes bright with life,
Ones that framed my every move.

Life must be well.

My heart swelled,
Thoughts of you anew,
And my place that could've been,
A question that would've never been.

I smiled,
*"No you don't."

What would it be like,
When people like us gather,
On a frivolous journey for the nether
with a crew of cuckoos;
Like a family headed for the gutters,
humour abundant.

What do we have to lose,
In a world full of *****,
And time to lose.

Day and night,
Lightweights and *******,
A love fest and a funfair.

Stomachs full,
Heart merry.

An euphoria of heightened souls.

What would it be like,
When people like us gather,
Tired of the same,
Aimless and shamed.

Days run tame,
Nights run old.

What would it be like,
When people like us gather,
Purpose in mind,
a book in hand.

The blood of the youths run
Luminous  through the night
Pulses with passion
Races with heartache
And desperate to fill the lonesome
Desire flows in the night air
And the moon,
The moon it stays white and pure
And it watches all of these things
The youths think they have to endure
Mindless fun for some
Sore pulled strings for some
So close yet so far?
Is this who we are?

Beyond the late night adrenaline
Are streams of pretending
The darkness enwraps us all
In a blanket of delusion
sounds of laughter still reverberating in my heart,
i feel the showers of time cleansing my eyes,
though autumn has gone and winter is going to start,
the parrot drowned in grief is going to lie 'neath the starry skies.

wincing in the pain of miles, I am thy lover hidden in smiles

the fleet jealous of the twittering bird,
fails to see its crying insides,
and though she has lost her heart in breezes of nights,
she beautifully hides in smiles, her eyes, full of cries.
