dimness within
Lama Dec 2019
all those years, you were waiting
on your knees, a soldier surviving
waiting to pull me out of the dark
but darling, don’t cross the line
this is where I live, where I stand
the darkness is what I feast
I breathe fire and drink tears
a falcon, I haunt your dreams
a beetle, dressed in fear
sneaking into your ear
whispering riddles, sincerely
to my soldier, to my dear
to my lover, to my queen
to my prince, to my hawk
you’re the curse that I caught

beautiful mess
Lama May 2021
sitting in that corner again
when I opened my heart to you
asking you to be my one and only
how gracious must I have thought of you
you said you were waiting for this moment
you said you were yearning for months
how stupid must I have felt
to be clueless of your love
now I don’t even know
if your love was true to me
I was trapped, compelled and owned
but you were nice to me
I needed to run from a chaos at home
your shelter gave me what I sought
for a moment I thought you saved me
but you dragged me into another mess
I didn’t get to feel your touch
but your fleeing hurt as much
when I thought it’d take another month
for us to meet and feel ourselves
maybe it was for the good
for us to have never met
yet you left me a beautiful mess
Lama Jul 2019
i was only there to satisfy you
only to let you see rainbows
and beautiful dreams

baby i am your marvelous dream
always been coloring your nightmares
until i became your worst enemy to date

i’m the one who your hands made
of flowers and honey for heaven’s sake
but i’ll sweep the nicest colors
my own hands made

i’ll replace the walls with the colors
you were born to be
in drabness your soul’s forever drowning
no place is keen for you to flee

then i’ll leave you in the darkness
you’re so used to being
until the days ahead are no longer
to be seen

i’ll give you your worst goodbyes
welcoming them by new eyes

losing you
Lama Feb 2020
for you I’d wait
everyday, my darkest haze
and for you, I’d sway
I’d dodge the loudest fate
I would forever sing
songs for you and I

feet stumbled creating melodies
hands injured writing stories
but nothing ever made you stay
so I’d dance, for me and I

so-called hero
Lama May 2019
maybe you’re not a fixer
you just need fixing
your broken pieces need healing
and you’re not a healer
you thought you could save me
but i’m here to save you

the song of love
Lama Jun 2019
you got me
under the spell of love
it’s hard to deny
all the words that make me sob
tell me one line of a song
that makes you want to shout
my name and my mistakes
then all the tears are about
to make the song of love

her
Lama Dec 2018
her
i dreamt about her
for thousands of years  
now she’s beside me
it feels so strange
bragging about this man who kept her sane
looks like i don’t belong in her place
i only wanted to spend the rest of my life
admiring her face
she needed my attention
so she promised her feelings would change
only if i win the race
but she tied my hands
left me to die in this cage
i began to scream
thinking it’d get me out of this mind maze
then my colors started to fade
her selfishness
stopped the rain
and she wonders why
her heart is no longer green

greatest love
Lama Sep 2019
lusting for a love that lifts her up
to the skies
clearer than the sight of the water
in his glass

so many names to call him
she tried
but one time he called her darling
on grass

she kept the memories in a box
before she dies
but not long ago until we met
at the overpass

our eyes swiftly collided
in disguise
went home and dreamt of you
filling me with sass

your shape stuck in my mind
it’s crystallized
forever shining my love
you consumed my gas

call me the names you desire
I shall be hypnotized
when will we ever meet again
I wonder in class

you are a dream
the greatest love you symbolize
still dreaming
come anew or we’ll stay in impasse

from lovers to strangers
Lama Jan 2021
I miss you when you were a stranger
just a thought in someone’s brain
you captivated me faster than a beetle
a sweet memory keeping me sane

but even before the fourth night
I knew our ground wasn’t stable
I cried in a gray colored corner
reading stories about a dead woman

I didn’t realize the pain that I created
blurry in my head were your words
to sweep you out wasn’t the hardest
but to think it was all to fill a dark void

I walk empty handed again
it’s a familiar feeling yet I loath it
my fingers braided you with poems
now I unknot us from a virulent lane

now I am a stranger breathing fire
within your lungs I ash the moments
of your lies my kind heart was tired
pillows we dreamt on left us in torment

Lama Sep 2019
what’s the point of apologizing after scarring me deeply,
but you know I stayed silent and loved you so dearly.

captivated
Lama Nov 2019
speak me into your existence
I yet have to learn to listen
carefully tracing every distance
slowly entering your prison
you spoke me
and I lived
you forgot me
and I slipped
157 · Jul 2019
strangers
Lama Jul 2019
maybe the two strangers
looking at the same shining light
shared the most graceful moment
of their lives
without a clue in mind
what the stranger’s name was
but they knew what they smelled like
and maybe these strangers
shared more moments than we ever can
156 · Oct 2019
outraged
Lama Oct 2019
you’re always up on my mind
and for you
I’ll lose it every time

my heart and my essences
reforming shapes
soon to be crystallized

I’m as calm as the ocean
before the ships come creeping in
noisy sirens will make them tear apart

I’m frigidly raging and my waves  
will never join the azure surface
until I finish what I started on my mind
155 · Jun 2019
hope
Lama Jun 2019
‪i know that i have it in me‬
but i’m scared of my own enemy
a ghost of my nightmares suffocating me
to death it's leading me
to misery i’m burning a cheap dream
i’ve been searching for a light to guide me
but every spark i find
it quickly fades away
could i be my own shining star
or am i still kid dreaming of paradise
happiness is dangerous
when all seem to cry
but i,
not a tear of my injured eye have come out
still seeing life pink
when they painted it black
154 · Jul 2019
too nice
Lama Jul 2019
i realized being too nice won’t get me anywhere
so i stoped that too
and that nice, will be fading also
152 · Mar 2021
call me yours
Lama Mar 2021
we were too similar
we lost ourselves
pulling my feet down
a lost leaf burrowed
silent interactions
strangers’ tunes
taught us love
even fires swooned
what was lost in october
came back gently in march

full moons
blossomed fears
started a fight
to make you mine
do my eyes remind you
of pearls you kept as a kid
does my laugh ring in your head
sowing memories to come alive
ripe those words you steal me by
call me yours even if you can’t
151 · Jul 2019
the goddess in me
Lama Jul 2019
a goddess in the night
when the bright sun was peeling
like a wild flower
being picked up from an empty ceiling
like a hurricane shattering every appearance
from a youthful child’s appealing
to a dull grayish feeling

she was born again in the evening
hearing every judgment like a knife
cutting through the wounds of healing
she was nobody but somebody to me then

she had the essences of me when i was leaving
a body of a soul that was not leaning
to let the sky’s tears wash off deep ends
of sad songs colliding to let you speaking
words you’ve never heard before
to a lovely womanly hearing

i am her and she was me
but she was fearing me
and i wasn’t letting her seeking
the discomfort of the godlessly meaning
148 · May 2020
rebellious nights
Lama May 2020
violence on the streets
the man is begging to breathe

cut the last shred of hope
rioters walking on lonely bones

fire on their hearts
pain filled the carts

no place to escape
hell with the fool babbling hearsay

their feet stay where the innocents bleed
violent sounds made the city sweep

with rebellion comes what may
ancient wounds won’t obey
justice for George Floyd!!!!
145 · Sep 2019
selfish
Lama Sep 2019
you’re selfish
and I love it
but listen
to my heart
it beats oh just for one
melodic dispositions
I daydreamed and wondered
of your smile brightening my thunders
scars on my brown eyes
I’m forever the prey of the hunters
no more recruiting
dissolve the pieces of my wholeness
I’m lost and you’re found
let me find the way back to my altar
fumbling walls shining in ambers
doors shuttering in dismay
oh angel they must convey
to my loner heart there they will obey
you’re still selfish
but I despise it
139 · Nov 2019
black and white
Lama Nov 2019
“are we gonna be okay?”
I heard the man in gray say
sorrowful blue eyes
high cheekbones cut the night
body turned black
as if the fire seemed to crack

“just hold my hand, forget the day”
while blood covers the bay
lonely brown eyes
rosy cheeks illuminate the night
body turned white
as if the air needed another bite
Lama Aug 2019
i love loving you
i love the way you love me too
in sunset we welcome the shadows
we sneak to share love in a mad show

two bodies connected in heart and soul
painting a picture of two fools
fell in love too early and forgot to mourn
for their soon to be smoldering souls

they warned me before but i was on a cloud
they tried to reach me but i poured down
rainy lies assuming i finally figured it out

i have dug the hole
now it’s time for me to stay there in whole
hopeless romantics making mistakes
oh so bold
138 · Jul 2019
a crush
Lama Jul 2019
you get lost in a person
the obsession is real
and you’re nervous

the numbness
of your feet on the ground
is exposing
all the fun you had in your mind

a fire is burning within you
it’s time to consume or sweep
the ashes rapidly falling upon you

you’re getting burned otherwise
you’re the one to decide
how to hold the pain
that is your broken heart
136 · Feb 2019
Roses
Lama Feb 2019
In a garden full of dead roses
Damaged hopes and dreams, they represent
Leaning on other branches
In hoping to survive

But what is survival
If they don’t chase the sun
To live for another day, is the wish
Getting the last drip of water, is the key

I don’t encourage the desperate need to win
I urge the deeds of winning
Doesn’t matter how high you got
At least you saw the hill

Next time you fall, get up
And if I’m not around
Remember the roses
Be flourished, be blossomed

Be sparkling red.
133 · Jul 2019
the idea of you
Lama Jul 2019
i longed for the dreamy eyes of yours
glowing like crystals, inside a cuckoos
ringing in my ears, a delightful sound
happy me and happy you, in a paradise
i dream of you
i lust for you
i wish that you would see me too
but how could i have that touch
when my hands haven’t made it yet
to hold you at my best
shaky fingers can’t hold a piece of heaven
i dropped you down to carry me
selfishly thinking i love you
resting your head upon me
i just loved the idea of you
131 · Apr 2020
us, a heartbroken fuss
Lama Apr 2020
twirling around a veil of sadness
questions asked and answers fathom
your soul, dead, on a mattress
tell me, is it worth it
to unravel the darkness?

light on the sea but no one could see
a mystery you are, my love
I’m solving you, I wept on my knees
maybe if I touch you
I can make your pain disappear
but no, you asked me to back away
I understand, dove
let your wings set you free
happy poetry month, friends! :)

little endeavors
Lama Jun 2020
little star around a house
surrounded by silver flowers

nightgown selflessly arouse
to greet moon in the drawer

hey there little lady, will you bow?
I hid pain with thy fierce power

thank the heavens I never drowned
gentle feet obscure sand a slight dour

tears full of stories books could douse
guidance awaits in demolished towers
129 · Jul 2019
feeling, alive
Lama Jul 2019
the needing of comfort
shamefully filling up my skin
the hurt of survival
pridefully flying over my head

i need to **** the master
before my heart becomes an item
to the land of the dead we run faster
than the sun hits the *******

confronting the followers of a soul sucker
“no need to feel” they say after the ******
well, hell with it
**** me before i stop feeling

i am alive because of my feelings
128 · Jul 2019
shutting off
Lama Jul 2019
when you’re about to speak
but you remember your opinion
will go nowhere
nobody will listen, nobody will be here
you’re alone in a noisy room
a room full of people
with their ears closed
even their hearts
are just as cold as the night you were born
125 · Nov 2019
a goodbye letter
Lama Nov 2019
I want you to make me feel better
I want you by my side forever
I want you around me like a medal
shiner than all that I can offer
your touch turns my cold heart hotter
than every summer I spent under water
what is it about you that make me scatter
like ashes on your doorway I was a letter
your love felt like a spell casted to pressure
it made my heart stop before my mother
the warmth is fading cover me with leather
can you hear me I’m hidden like a treasure
I left before we dance and dress proper
farewells sweetness hold on to my sweater
124 · Apr 2020
child of the sea
Lama Apr 2020
I lost a piece of my heart
when the world fell apart
a melody in your eyes
sang me to drown
sniffing the sand
your hands drew a line
a spot for me to dance
a white dress fluttering
to my wounded body, it collapsed
cover me darling
cover me with water and sand
arise, the creatures of the sea
to my death they would flee
leaving their homes to set me free
I am a child of my own destiny
my mother soundlessly left me
and my father pretends he loves me
123 · Apr 2020
lessons
Lama Apr 2020
as the wind blows
my thoughts begin to bleed
sharp words reflect what’s within
a stripped down body mirroring a freak
few moons ago I learned to breathe
the air was heavy it restored my pain
but that’s okay
lessons are learned the hard way
123 · Feb 2020
separation
Lama Feb 2020
maybe the reason I am here
is the reason I weep,
silent all these nights
like an owl bleeding white,
sorrow it reeks
peace it seeks,
white is the color of my mother
telling me I selfishly brag with honor,
I sailed through the stars
to find a place on mars,
dug a grave miles away
to let my soul solely sway,
maybe I don’t need a guardian
since I find enjoyment in hiding.
123 · Dec 2019
the peculiar woman
Lama Dec 2019
long dark and mysterious
her black hair, red cheeks
a soul that is furious
asleep in the morning
awake at night
wrapped up her emotions
with drowsy stars
open the holy gate
her mind is a witty crown
her heart is an unshakable gown
a moon among luminous eyes
a joy she induces
a sorrow she endures
her castle is full of tricks
no one escapes, unless she tells
short bright and visible
will you hold my hand, invincible?
122 · Dec 2019
indecisive
Lama Dec 2019
I miss you
where have you been?
your body’s beside me
your soul’s somewhere else
your mind’s in a ferris wheel
with someone who stole my seat
unsynchronized beats
come back
your face lost its spark
is it me?
I won’t hold you to drown
stay or leave
omitting then approaching
make up your mind
120 · Mar 2020
my story
Lama Mar 2020
this is my story with love
full of suffocating curtains
for when the night is dim
my voice turns to embers

twisty smokey riddles
hidden shameful sinners
hearsay, life is blooming
I wonder, why is it gloomy?

the nights are lonely
and so are my stories
narrating a forged glory
my tears became holy

I for once, can breathe
picked up a radiant peach
golden taste shoved my teeth
poisonous fate, couldn’t breathe

illusionist perishing stars
feeble the sky is without light
watery eyes revive beyond
for a broken heart underneath

love is within deep waters
but I got no sea
no hands or feet
only a story to daydream
118 · Jun 2019
a real feeling, i seek
Lama Jun 2019
‪i want to feel something real‬
all my dreams have settled
to change the way
i used to breathe
yes, i’m lonely
drinking my unused feelings away
i love so intensely
but nowhere i can put
them romances out of scene
excluding real emotions i feel
is real hard when my life
rejects every heart i keen to feel
i am the reason why i walk in despair
a scared teenager told how to breathe
in a way that‪ rivaled‬ inside of me
making me a used object to teach
how to love
when nothing is acceptable to feel
117 · Jun 2019
a stolen kingdom far away
Lama Jun 2019
when everybody knows your name
yet, you are nowhere to be in shame
about the story
when you and the devil meet
in a strange spot to steal the keys
of a graceful kingdom
no soul’s willing to leave

but when that revealing morning came
it woke you up to a noisy day
then your eyes and the gleamy light,
coincided; making the power embrace
to expose the giggly masquerades
in their no longer hidden space

the screams of manipulative souls
and their vile ways of telling lies
they no longer can destroy the night
nor the lovers in sunlight
nor the skin on skin delight
nor the sincere feeling of excite

no genuine soul can hear the ache
as if the pain is a muffled joke to fake
no sign of suffering my child can see
like if the mockery made the dead
drag the fools to be fed
by their ceaseless lies ahead
117 · Aug 2019
chasing dreams
Lama Aug 2019
the passion exploded and i was created
i was hardly pulled and separated
from a womb that belonged to a woman
that later i called her mother
a nervously standing man
in a corner full of cans
biting his nails thinking of a way to ban
my hopeful dreams that i was being fed
by shining stars while i was little in bed
i dreamt about having a role
to end hunger and hug the lonely souls
i dreamt about changing lives
and mend all the broken hearts
but as soon as my feet hit the ground
i was lost and completely stripped
of all the reasons to be happy
the reasons to stay sane and steady
each year passes and i gain tiny drops
drops of tearful agonies but somehow
i saw an edge of the brightest mountain
waiting for me to open the curtains
let the hopeful rays light the gloomy room
and burn those who said you can’t bloom
117 · Aug 2019
what if
Lama Aug 2019
what if we stopped the time
to the moment where you held my hand
and told me it’s okay to cry when i’m sad
it’s okay to scream when i’m mad

what if we stopped the time
to the moment when our eyes locked up
in a fantasy
our bodies attached and picked up
to a room of secrecy

what if we stopped the time
and told you i love you a thousand times
before the clock ticks and end our time

what if we stopped the time
under the sky forever staring at the stars
and longing for a moment of mending scars
desiring a form of you
sculpted into my heart
dreaming of you
transforming into shapes of art

what if we stopped the time
because i hate saying goodbye

someone
Lama Mar 2019
she is someone who keeps me safe
someone who keeps me sane
someone brighter than the sun
the warmth of her love, burns
but overtime, she heals
she touches and she feels
every pain stuck inside you
a queen of her own castle
but she is confided in you

the stranger
Lama Feb 2020
what happened is this stranger
objecting these cursed giggles
mellow words confined a hater
closed the door on similar figures

don’t go away stranger
protect the world I portray

you and I alone, stranger
fold my dreams to a night of possibilities

what shall I name you, stranger?
a protector of another stranger
or a gentle soul ceasing danger
whether I show you my real nature
or you agree to become the painter
of lost fantasies belonging to a teenager

life decided to unite us
you will ride the lonely bus
so I can look into your eyes
dream of a life where you’re mine

asking for too much
Lama Aug 2019
am i asking for too much
all i need is a hug
and a shoulder to lay my tears on

am i asking for too much
i opened my heart to vulnerability
and the pain started to play with me

am i asking for too much
i’m sick of hiding
i wanna shine

am i asking for too much
all i need is a little helping
to make my stars bright again

so tell me, am i asking for too much?

Kindred spirits
Lama Nov 2020
I will tell you where to put me
Near the rivers and snowflakes
In my dream I visited Berlin
It was hot, but cold was your bouquet

I take pleasure in winning
But for you I’d willingly fail
I’d sink to kiss your feet
Our love is the only winner
Racing hearts wouldn’t skip a beat

In memorialization we fade
In and out of lust again
Petal cheeks and moon eyes
My hands I flukily baked
Along with flour and paint
I was inside you within a bite

to the galaxy, you and me
Lama Dec 2019
I feel love and thunder
stories beneath me
reforming sailors and hunters
water upon me
a fortune at my center
animals running toward me
will I save them and be humble?
I’m lost, lost and lost
beyond the worlds I sought
a love that will take me to the moon
to jupiter and mars soon
tell me you’re willing to travel with me
to the galaxies, stars will greet
just harmonize in me
I will protect you from heart to feet

I’m a whale
Lama Nov 2019
I don’t know what I want
or what to do
or what to feel
all I know is I’m like a whale
roaming down the moonless ocean
no home is fit for me to sleep
too big in the eyes of a human
too small compared to the sea
what am I supposed to be?
an enormous heart pumping the love away
enough to drown every lover with me
but I’m strange yet a lucky whale
I get to see deep ends and golden keys
never knowing how to start nor proceed
would you mind breathing a little my dear?
spinning in circles of numbness like a freak
welcome to my show I might be mean
I’m a whale in a suit of a human being

coldness of intellect
Lama Jan 2020
how’d you survive
I only see black and white
no recreation could save us
nor the shiny dots in the sky
hear me angels once I commit
a crime in the name of prejudice
then tie me up just like a bird
whose legs froze early on
spoke freely without a cage
escaped to fetch a tiny brain
feathery wings held it up
needn’t crack frozen spikes
took the lane to a warm fate
but the heat will sweat it out
take the brains to melt away
would you trade knowledge
and the freedom to fly upon clouds
for a precious mellow feeling
and a brainless state of mind

greeds fate
Lama Mar 2020
and then we won and they have lost
and then we sang and they went to cry
life has been cruel but not for now
the enemy’s gone so let’s just dance
pockets emptied out
guns handed down
and a golden key
belonged to the queen
the queen is dead
it’s ours now
lock the dead
the selfish ones
let them stink
til the morning comes
let them taste
the gold they owned
unravel their minds
twisted in the night
burn that candle
our blood will purify
