I took a rest on a ruddy bench
Aside the lady with the looking glass
Till a little blessing came tapping
With an outstretched hand telling

Begging change in exchange the floras
The lady, amused with the child
Showed him a wise saying
That was mundanely swaying

As the words came out
The water of life pouring
As the true meaning he learned
From the lady's interpreted word

That moment the personas shared
With time who couldn't stay
Could determine the fate
As it wasn't too late

I took a rest on the ruddy bench
Flowers, words and lives were traded
Familiarity grew on the streets
Where strangers pass or meet

Take a banana
Peel it
Dice it
Put it aside

If you thought this
Was a recipe
It is
For a disaster

Take a banana
Peel it
Dice it
Put it inside

My feet slowly went up the steps
To the train platform
I couldn't believe we were...
Just together a moment ago
Now we have to part

I see you on the opposite side
I savor each and every moment...
Your train blocks my sight
You fade into the crowd

My train arrives...
And our trains part
As our lives part

To break free
That is commonly said
For things such as cages and chains

Though there exist
The chain that binds
For things such as relationships

The dog that is bound
To a leash and tree
Seeks the pleasure to be free
But there are dogs
Happy to be leashed
As they are well fed and safe by the tree

So do we break
Or keep the sake
Of the chains that bind, we

Does it feel right that it ended
Or as if it was just wasted?
Will another chance come again
Or was that the last time it would happen?

Are you going to ask for a sign
Or just sit back and resign?
Are you going to keep trying
Or **** it in cause its already hurting?

Why can't there be a middle ground?
...Because it makes things vague
Why can't there be compromise?
...Because its just gonna complicate

Unsure, undecided, unmotivated, un...
Discouraged, distracted, disarrayed, dis...
Vindicated, decided, inspired...
Encouraged, focused, collected...
Black or white, make a decision...

If you truly want to make it right
Find a way to put things back in the light
Just keep trying even if it takes every night
It could get better, it just might...

I woke up drowning in my sheets
Another day to do my job
Slowly starting up the daily routine
I could still feel my head throb

Night shifts are normal shifts
It's the only time that would work
Slowly sifting through the filth
Of the memories they took

I pick out things put in some,
I sometimes put in fakes
Does it really matter?
It's just happiness at stake

My cause is unexplained
No compensation or benefits
My work has no awards
But it keeps everything together
Every night and every day

A tall elixir
Swirling flask
Unfinished liquid
Thoughts putrid

A shot of elixir
Drowning sorrow
Unglamorous color
Forgetful odor

Another elixir
Heavier, thicker
Unfettered desire
Desiring another

Anosher elishir

Unsobur effurt

A little bird told me
That one day I'll be
Free to fly
To touch the heavens

Another little bird told me
That I'll still be
Bound and caged
To dream of the sky

We are birds
Destined to fail or fly
Let not the sky be the limit
But the weight of feathers

Tell all the other birds
The wings of our destiny

The white paper snail
Followed the *** trail
To a small gold boat
Where sailors hang their coats

The two eyed pirate king
Went Sunday fishing
To buy his pretty daughter
A pearl diving otter

The pet store vendor
Had putrid body odor
To solve his dilemma
He ingested a chimera

The knight and his squire
Went to sing and play lyre
At the cave with a bear
Who had no head hair

Another crazy poem
From an old seaside home
The brown eyed bard
Sends you a greeting card

I fished one day
Not expecting I would be prey
The boat suddenly shook
I knew I was on the hook

The line had been cast
Going nowhere fast
Slowly tugged on the reel
Pulled in I could feel

That days catch
I could not match
Even if it was moon light
I couldn't stay in the night

It didn't take a femme fatale
Just a woman and a tail
A pure beautiful mermaid

A painful sight are the city lights
As it forcefully reminds me
The memories of long before
Of an innocent time of glee
Were those few days and nights
With love, so much love I loved thee

Those days I loved could be counted
Those days I loved showed me
The sands of time unforgiving
How quickly I lost thee
I wish I could have time extended
For a few, few more short days with me

I have cut my love with hurt
So deep no one could see
I thought all hope was lost
But one day my love gave me
Actions of sweet forgiveness
Of my ignorance, ignorant actions and me

In a sweet short paramour we fled
That was used to escape reality
It was chasing us close by
To destroy the fantasy
But I could not give up my love
My sweet secret love, my sweet love oh thee

I cared nothing for the results
As long as I had my sweet love with me
Of the responsibility and lies
That were growing attached to me
But I had to see the light
The bright light, the light I denied to see

They say if you love someone
You're willing to set them free
To chase their dreams and goals
Wherever it may be
I too needed some time
To be me, just only me

Possibly in another time
Or in another life maybe,
That we would be together
Happily ever after are we
Or it could just be that never
I and my love are meant to be

Twelve hours ago
I knew
I would see
The death of me

An action and an intention
Without prior consideration
Leads to a lot of correction
After the wrong execution

When the harm has been done
And the moment long gone

Apologies are expected
But are not whole hearted

Rise and shine all ye people
Now is the mornin'
Of a new beginning

Put on all ye work boots
Get ready for the labor
Which garners man's favor

Get out on the fields
Toil till the sun goes down
Do this without no frown

For this is the cycle
Morning in and morning out
To reap and sow the blessings abound

Constantly
Love and life on repeat
Never ending playlist
Music

Oh mother must you still have to suffer?
For sacrifices you have given me
A sweet love I have known from no other
A love so true, so pure, so rare to see
Through your hardship I came unto this life
Through your guidance I had learned word for word
Wonderful mother and enduring wife
Defending her family shield on sword
Why has life drained you so much forcefully
But yet you resist to give up your fight
For your child, your husband, your family
As you lead the way as a shining light
May life give you the justice you deserve
Your loving legacy it shall preserve

From the day we met
To today I was dreaming of you
I knew it was love
And nothing would stop me
Even if I had to give up "the game"

You showed me
I could be a better man
The kind that gains respect
Not through bro code
But the knight's code

There are days
I wish I could save a damsel
But it seems clear
You are meant to save me
Every time I'm with you

I want to tell you
So many things
But when you're around
I end up silently admiring your grace
I'm sure I love you...

I wish you only knew

To give
In to the desire
Is to give
In to the fire
Your soul

He lights another smoke
While she lays on the bed
The night is still young
But the flames are dead

Thoughts running through her mind
Of decisions lacking foresight
But she keeps staying
Over and over again

Thoughts running through his mind
All the sweetness and mushy loving
But he still can't give it all up
The thrill and the passion of "love"

Fragments of feelings
Of not so long ago
What keeps them going
Despite all the fighting

Right from the start
Their glow was fading
Doomed to the fate
Of a doused sad ending

Another sleepless night
Feeling the day wasted
No woman, just frustrated
A thirst unsatisfied

Tossing and turning
Sheets are now burning
The trapped heat
Making the surface

Drifting now
Wished to be
On an island
Away from everyone

Sun slaps again
Another day suffering
To taste the end
Is defeat accepted

A few years ago
The short existence of
A boy shy and typical
Falsely mistaken
As a queer situation

Then something awoken
Within the boy's
Inner sanctum
An urge deep inside
Could no longer hide

Yet outside forces
Target to suppress
The fire burning
Within the lass' kiln
Now the dilemma
Is dealing with the drama

I am not worthy

But down came from above
Light, Father's love

You servant stands ready
But when you call
I still fear

What is there I can offer
That is good

My all for my Savior

Why am I too innocent?
My responsibilities I neglect
Why am I not responsible
Unlike the rest

I'm younger than most of them
But I can keep up
But I get used...
Abused by those who dislike me

People you least expect
Take advantage
And abused my innocence
They left no mercy for me

Until when
Will I have to keep swimming out
The neck deep ****
Being dumped on me

When will I grow up?
When will it all stop
When...

Take notice
Of me
Please see
What I see
Let's be
More than we
Better than he
Happier than she
Can us be free?
Run away with me
