In the depths of my heart, a longing resides,
A yearning for you, where love abides.
Across the miles, I feel your embrace,
A bond that time and distance cannot erase.

Where are you, where do you dwell?
In my dreams, I hear your voice so well.
I search for you in every passing face,
Hoping to find you in this vast space.

Memories linger, like whispers in the breeze,
Your laughter, your touch, like melodies.
In the silence of night, I hear your call,
A beacon of hope, guiding me through all.

Across the oceans, across the skies,
Our hearts connected, no matter where we lie.
In the tapestry of life, our threads entwined,
A love that transcends, forever enshrined.

Where are you,  where do you dwell?
In my dreams, I hear your voice so well.
I search for you in every passing face,
Hoping to find you in this vast space.

leaving my pills untouched since “it’s just a phase”, fooling myself into an illusion of the better days.

all hopes are abandoned for a mere praise.

and when the time comes, only the pitiful sight of a longing gaze in the dead of the night are what remains.

it was supposed to be just a phase,
what a foolish phrase;
the truth is that it never ends.
i wish it was just a phase.

The train tracks lead to an endless road
The briars and thorns make a heavy load

The stones are uneven the feet of travelers heavily scared
People trying to push through a gate with a heavy guard

They raise the flags and their voices
Cursing the rulers for their choices

The dogs bark and the people scream
We are all on the losing team

A call for freedom a call to fight
I call to end the dark and reunite the light

People stand and people fall
Those who stood strong and tall

Words falling on deaf ears
A path winding through the years

A silent scream to help the lost
But you turn and count the cost

You hurt the weak and beat the lame
But you should cry and turn in shame

You think you know what you stand for
But you stand behind a shut door

What do you want, what can I give
So that the ones I love can live

I only need water, I only need bread
But I only have my hope instead

You strike my head, and spit in my face
You need the thrill and love the chase

You don't know how strong we are
We are never close and never far

You can't always be strong
We lie in wait until the dawn

We raise our weapons and banners high
We must give it one last try

The statues fall into the dirt
A lesson taught a lesson learnt

The strength of our hearts and the sweat of our brows
Was a heavy cost, to bring a terrible ruler down

If I wish upon this shooting star
Would it heal my scars?

Too much pain for me to bear
Living life a constant despair.

No one else could comprehend
The happiness I always pretend.

Nowhere to go, nowhere to run
All my feeling come undone.

Whether a comma, or colon:
Punctuation slows my rolling
I need no period. When I end
no Capitalization when I begin
Rulelessly I flow my art
  Not a single!
Exclamation mark
Are you not the one
Who'll know?
Where a question mark
No longer goes

Warp the structure
Bend the lines
Put in repeat
Let emotion unwind
Make yourself
Your poetry's the best
Be your own ruler
Pass your own test

Take your own road
Where ever it leads
Lover or hater
It's all poetry!

Hay
No matter who you are
You have my deepest respect!

Vanity
All is vanity
The meanings of passion
The aesthetic expression
The lines we draw and stay within
Even love is beyond intent
Vanity transcends
Flowing from our pens
And so we breathe again

I am the deep, the sky in reverse
I have what you seek, for better or worse

I am the blue of infinite depth
I've swallowed the crews and cleared the decks

You are afraid or maybe intrigued
Of the place where you played and also was freed

Kiss me now like you did before
Give me your vow and the ocean is yours.

— The End —
