and here you are, again.
in this dimly lighted bar,
surrounded by middle-aged men
who only want to mess with you.

with your marlboro cigarette in hand,
and your expensive, 100$ whiskey on the counter,
you think you figured life out.

*life is just about to begin,
honey.
A cougar from the mountain came
On padded paw she stalked her prey
When he came within striking distance
All was over in an instant

she is controlled by her demanding parents.
he is controlled by his persuasive boss.
she is controlled by the heavy pressure of the world.
he is controlled by every one around him.
and when they meet,
the control will stop
and no longer invade their lives.
the controlling souls would die,
just so free souls can be born.

right when i notice you,
something happens,
inside of me.
i get this feeling that i can't dismiss.
it's torturing me
to say something,
anything.

my palms get sweaty,
the blood flows into my heart,
faster.
my heartbeat increases every time
i feel you near me.

it is something you do to me,
that i don't know why
and i am not willing to discover.

i might be falling in love..

and if that's the case,
i would gladly have you in my life,
i will gladly kiss you, hug you, talk to you, love you.

i would do it,
for you.

Shaking hands are
Just a part of my daily life
Trying to steady them
Is the other part

Lies

Poetic T
The mind thinks many lies,
but the mouth will speak only one,
which one hurts the most.
i tried to reach for the stars,
but it only left me with scars.
all I hope for anymore
to be confident
to be sweet
to be honest
to be concrete
