Ninety-nine percent of the time
The truth is brutal
It'll knock you on your back
You'll lie there positioned fetal
Praying it cuts you slack

As for me,
I continue to bear my soul
While most fear truth
I disclose the untold

My ninety-nine percent
Consists of a night owl
And a midnight snack
Laughing until my gut wrenches
And researching odd facts

My truth
Subsists of stubborness
I blame my dad for that
Tears form when I get angry,
But I forgive, rather than fight back

My reality
Reveals clearly
I'm a dreamer wandering an offbeat path
I've been told my goal's improbable,
But I believe in magic after solving the math

And honestly,
My heart falls swiftly
For the one I can't have
And to the ones who wanted me,
I can't force feelings that I lack

Ninety-nine percent of the time
The truth is brutal
It'll knock you on your back
I've shared my proportion,
And it's worth enduring to reach
My one percent of liberation after that

ITS TIME

ITS TIME

A BEAUTIFUL PREGNANT WOMAN
( In Australia )
A beautiful within attractive pregnant woman
Her partner decides to end it all right then
With the blunt end of an ax killed her and baby
Jailed for life fed clothed taught a trade till when
If a dog bights a child on any day they shoot it
This angels life is over her family suffer always
Bring back the electric chair rope or needle
An eye for an eye in religious books it says
Me , I'd tie him to a tree on an ants nest
Pour honey all over him just to be kind
Sit back if I was her family with a wine
Allow him to suffer as they heart and mind
Everybody knows right from wrong in life
If not happy he could have walked away
Put these mongrels out of their missery
Capital punishment for these crimes to pay
Don't any talk to me of forgiveness and love
Religions tried it on Jesus as he didn't agree
With their holier than thou as if once cross
No talk of forgiveness for these crimes to me

Value Your Vows, Last Time (10W)

I’ve watched them
play
Tic - tac - toe
The exes won

Use your mind don’t let your mind use you..... Cherish those who love you and find joy in your spouse...
Kiss Of Peace!

Princes and Poison

Princes and Poison

A kingdom built on his guilt,
You'll watch his eyes slowly tilt.
Breaking under the pressure,
His pain is difficult to measure,
Do you know his heart lays still?

Pupils with shards of darkness,
And a quill profusely sharpened.
I think he missed the target,
With his soul from black to scarlet,
As it dripped atop the marble.

He doused his hands in cyanide,
To try and disintegrate his pride.
And sadly, all his colors went,
Along his shaking final breath,
He's grey and aching inside-

All feedback is welcome and appreciated!!

Solace In Love

Solace In Love

I abide
Sunny
Inspite
Of agony
I caress
The Aurora
Inspite of cloudburst
I show the globe
Stupendous adoration
Inspite Of distress
My heart
Abide
Unclouded
Inspite
Malicious
I have this fire
Burning in my soul
I
wasn’t born
For the cold

Who am I as a man Still yet to unearth..... I found love where it doesn’t belong!

My dearest loneliness!!!

My dearest loneliness!!!

My dearest loneliness!!
Some say you are my disease,
While some say the happiness of my life you will decrease,
Some say you are the dark spot on the moon,
& some say you will end me completely very soon,
But they don't know,
That you are the only one who make me accept my mistakes,
& never listen to my excuses,
They don't know,
That you are the morning for the rising sun,
& the evening for the setting sun,
You are the voice of my heart,
You are my part,
You are my introspection,
& you take me away from all the tensions,
You are my best friend,
Whom I know will be with me till my end....

Meet my best friend - My loneliness!!
Something for you dear on behalf of "friendship day"!
Your loneliness is what you make it, if you accept it as your weakness then it can lead to your destruction & if you take it as your strength, it can lead you to that side of the golden door...
