A Living Paradox
Lena Bitare Sep 2015
She was a living paradox
She would shut the door
But wants him to knock
She tells him to leave
But wants him to stay
She would send him smiles
While there are tears
Deep inside
She wants him,
But she doesn’t want to stay
A paradox or a lie?
She can’t figure herself out.

Nurture Your Gift
Lena Bitare Nov 2014
Nurture your gift
Don’t let it sleep
Grab a pen
Stare at a stem
Think of a story
No, don’t feel sorry
We are all little
But in our writings,
Everything can be better
Strong men can be brittle

Paint a face
Lift up a soul
Strike some lines
Bring them colorful rhymes
Put some color
Give them a nice odor
Splash positivity and be an author
Or be a painter and be the next Andy Warhol
No, don’t you give up
You can bring up someone

‘Tears’
Lena Bitare Nov 2014
Tears lit up the night
Flaws and fights
Taking over a bunch
Of wasted dream lunch

You were drowned
By my hurt and frowns
Darlin, you cross the line
I thought your thoughts were mine

I see you walking fast
So I let go of my hands on your back
Hidden flames in the dark
Tears flow fast

Classy Love
Lena Bitare Dec 2014
Hearts and emotions
Fill each memory and motion

Fast moving; fast phased
Your world so hard to chase

Beats moving low
Intervals took so slow

Slow moving dances
Their eyes stare

The rhythm and glasses stun
Each classic chic and hair bun

Memory Lane
Lena Bitare Nov 2014
I got down
And see the street lights
The cars passing by
Stuck in the headlight

I've seen bestfriends become lovers
We've eaten their left overs
What's left with us,
Is the piece of junk way back past.

I've watch lovers love
Like I did before
I've watched them fall apart
I've felt their beating heart

Baby there's no ticket to the past
There's nothing you can do
We didn't make it last
Just throw your love to the past
Lena Bitare Nov 2014
Husky eyes
They stared at me
Like a terror in the night
I'm being terrified

Soundwaves get so low
To where creatures howl
The thread inkling looks to thin
Cells explode to their looks within

Bluff, puff, ****** eyes
Don't stare at me
I can get no sleep
Please let go of me

To the unreached dream
Lena Bitare Dec 2014
Broken dreams
Free spirit soars high
Alone..

In the sky of hope
Kindles and tickles
Pieces on the floor
It will someday be whole

Fragments still defy
Echoes of mercy
In your life, lifts light

Your presence is a gift
It has been, as always..
I wrote this yesterday for a friend. We had a nice talk about unattained dreams and hopes, but life goes on. I believe God has a greater plan and besides, it's never too late. He said "Sometimes, you just have to motivate yourself, because there's no one else to motivate you. I salute him. I think I just found a long lost brother in him.

"Wonderer"
Lena Bitare Dec 2014
I often ask why
Wondered from the depth of my soul

Could it be that destiny hear my calls
Will it shed a wish upon where water falls?

The tilt shift of colors burned my wall
And I astound, I wasn't aware at all

CLEAN
Lena Bitare Sep 2017
I thought I prefer to see his face
With no beard nor mustache;

But when I saw him,
I knew I was wrong;

And all the ideas of him
Was gone from my head
I knew I was seeing the man that he is;
The raw, the 2 AM version of him
Is standing right in front of my very eyes

But I still got razor in my hand
And a cream;
I was waiting for my turn,
But when he came to me,

I just stared at him like an idiot,
Smiling,
Throwing a glance on his pretty **** eyes
Admiring the mess in his baffling face.

The Dark Arises
Lena Bitare Oct 2014
Ashes burn
Firing Cold
Water runs dry
A story untold

The blues **** me
Emotions mixed
Tears filling my pillow
My heart feels so shallow

I hate to see your shadow
I have gone through a dark mellow

Sleep tight, little one
Let the clouds roll by
Let the time pass by
Don’t think you missed a chance.

You’ll soon be on that beautiful place
Where war and crimes do not exist
Where there is no conflict to cease
Where you will no longer worry or cry.

Where bombs do not exist and your heart explodes in happiness
Where you will drown only in joy and laughter.
Sleep tight, little one.
You’ll sure be in Paradise.

Lonesome
Lena Bitare Nov 2014
The sound of your voice
is like a drug to my soul
I so long to hear everytime

Our eyes were so connected
Before we knew we're intoxicated
We're already infected

You're absence is so devouring my strength
It had got me conquered
Though I never wanted another

And in my youth if I love you
Will you promise to not leave me
When I'm old and lonely?

If I give you everything
Will you share a smile  each morning?
Will you kiss me each evening we see?

“He said-She said” pt.1
Lena Bitare May 2015
He worries for her being tripped at, being abused, being hurt.

He said “It’s still dark outside”.

She said “I don’t really have to go outside to see the dark side of things”.

“Then stay with me outside, I would love to see your eyes glimmering with a dark sky in a breaking dawn”, He said while staring at her eyes like there’s no forever.

Natural Gift
Lena Bitare Oct 2014
There were those things
By which we had naturally
Without someone teaching us
Words just rhyme unintentionally

They came to our hand
And then, there we came writing
I believe they came from a Being
I ll those things - natural gifts

In which I am thankful for

"Coffee Girl"
Lena Bitare Dec 2014
That secret poison I drink
With my heart kept pounding
A light-bulb in my head
Thoughts flow in my bed

Like a river across the mountain
I was into place I've never been
Creatures and events happen
You watch it like a sequel

A stone in a brown liquid form
Drown my mind in the storm
But a fish will always swim
Upstream or downstream, but it won't drown

I’m not in love
Lena Bitare Sep 2015
No, don’t look into my eyes
You might see the glitters
No, don’t look when I smile
You might see me lose my mind

No, don’t feel my heart
It’s a fear I hardly hide
No, don’t look at me
You might feel my heart beating fast

No, don’t be sweet, telling me take care
You know how you can take me to heights
No, don’t make me feel you miss me too
You know I’ve been dying to see you

No, don’t ever think I’m in love with you
Cause you know I’ll shut off as soon as you knew
No, don’t tell me you’re leaving anyway
You know how and why I’ll bleed everyday

“Ruined”
Lena Bitare May 2015
It’s funny how a look in his eye
has changed everything past your life

Ironically, it’s insanely funny how a look,
a glance in his eyes
to a stranger beside
can change everything,

including your goals and plans
and your future was ruined in an instant.

“Femme”
Lena Bitare Dec 2014
Smells of bouquet
Lands on her dress

Laces and Braid
She catches each breathe

Air of romance
Seen on her dance

Pink and red roses
Fall upon her hair

Femme, my lady
She's a beautiful femme

When I look around, part II
Lena Bitare Oct 2014
He looks at him
With envious eyes
It's as if he asks himself why

He asks himself where is the love he had
He asks himself when will he find love

And he looked down
And fell his tears to the ground

Untitled #2
Lena Bitare Jan 2015
"And I asked the weather, "am I as cold as you?"
Then I waited.. still there's no reply

So I got my feet into the waters and asked, "Does he love me too?".. still there's no reply

In dim light, I asked the moon, "Why do I feel as lonely as you?" Still there's no reply

And I saw a fly flying next to another, so I chased it. It might have the answer to my deepest saddest questions."
Lena Bitare Nov 2014
You're a young soul
So quick to believe
So deep to dream
With a little self-esteem

So you waited for the train
But it did pass, you're vain
So you shed the pain
And put it in the letters of stain

In your younger years
You believe love exists
So I held your hand
And covered your eyes

Your senses are speaking
Universe is in your heart
Though destroyed dreams had you
And made your smile broken,

You still wear your heart on your sleeve
And to that I was astounded to believe.

"Run after rain"
Lena Bitare Nov 2014
We passed the trail
I saw an old train
And you told a story
Of your love gone debris

And that memory
I can't deal entirely
So I left you talking
And draw a lane - walking

Yes, you cross the white lane
two steps closer to fame
When the game is over
You will no longer feel me

My tears got the rain falling
And I ran after them, calling
Fifty horse power won't get me
Any man, anyone like you
Lena Bitare Nov 2014
I walked in the lane
Where you stand beside
The pits got me in
While you talk, I'm shattered

And I wondered why I can't
Collapse and leave that card
We were so close walking
While my heart flies a distant taking

If you can see how unlikely
Your smile when you felt lucky
But I'm tossing your luck

My mind speaks so loud
I have to close my mouth

What does it says?
Baby you don't know how to read
Lena Bitare Nov 2014
If your heart's torn apart
Let it bleed
Don't hide
Smile
Try
Try again
Someday it will be better

When time heals
And your smile becomes whole again
You don't have to hide in your car
You will be loved, yes you will.
I'm fascinated by the song "She will be loved" by Maroon 5. So I wrote this poem, while not hearing the song :) <3

"Where were we?"
Lena Bitare Nov 2014
Twenty five in December
I was a dying ember
Her sweetness, I resemble
Her pale skin, I don't assemble

That coffee I *****
She says she'll commit
A birthday card can say it
Hidden meaning, so you resubmit

So you took a sip of tea
And you were so surprised
A drop from my eye - tears
Guess I needed some advise

Where we we, darlin?
Is it still 2013?
Or maybe you were caught past
It's me you're with
Should haven't took fast.

Defined
Lena Bitare Oct 2018
And I tried to look
For moments
That would tell me
Who I am;
And in those moments
Where I collapse in darkness;
And find another soul
And find light,
Those were the moments
I find beautiful
And there are moments
Which defined who I truly am�

“Weakness”
Lena Bitare May 2015
She can send a kiss in the air

She doesn’t understand why
He can’t look her in the eye

She will never understand
How her beauty can strike him
How her stare can feel like her skin

He doesn’t look that much at her
Because everytime he does, he lose
He becames a madman on his knees
Trying to delight her, trying to please.

"Last November"
Lena Bitare Nov 2014
Last November
Do you remember
You held my hand
Til we land

In the air
We smiled
Floating, flying
Swimming, sinking

In the Spring time
You said you're mine
But you're back
A man I don't recognize

Bushes and campfires
Elusive dreams in my eyes
You brought them back to life
You got me back

Last November
You were sweeter
We in one sweater
Under a freezing weather

"The Feels"
Lena Bitare Mar 2016
Dreams fall in your heart
Like mist roaming at night
Leaves fall like those tears
Some days, you will have to fear

But I won't let them get to you
It's like I can do so few
Dark days may be ahead
But the flame of my love will mend

Clearing the sky for you
So you can see through
You're a unique soft soul
Wrapped in a stone

A fist so hard to resist
But can't see its worth
You're a gem so rare
That I so love to stare at.

"larmes"
Lena Bitare Jan 2015
Her eyes are not dull
They still have sparks
But there's a streak that will tell you she's tired..  

She's tired of crying almost every night..
She's tired of waking up to a cold each morning of her life.
"larmes" is the french translation of "tears"

LOVE
Lena Bitare Sep 2017
Love doesn’t ask much;
She knew she doesn’t have to.

Love knew that though he was breaking her heart,
He was protecting her in the meanest and kindest way possible.

Love knew that a hard labor can only buy her a pair of hairclip;
So she let her hair down instead.

Love knew pain like her best friend;
yet, love also knows forgiveness.

Love knew life was hard already
So she held his hand and never let him go.

"Favorite"
Lena Bitare Jan 2015
That's the problem.

You said that's your favorite song.
And when you play it on repeat,
Your ears sore.

And when you find a better one,
You stop the song, you ignore.

*Then you said I am your favorite

‘Nothing’
Lena Bitare Dec 2014
Have I got my May wrecked
On the twentieth when you stepped
Did it forward to his February
Does silence gives me a sanctuary?

Will you dump the cloth if not mine?
Why am I feeling wasted over time?
And on a white car
Do crossroads give rewind

And if my feet got sprained
Will there be someone to get here
Will he bring a bottle of iced tea
Paired with biscuits and cold drink

Will he get in an office Wednesda-te?
And see me laugh, see my eyes at night late
Will he wet his hair in rain?
And wait for my sweet revenge?

If my memory serves me right
You should have not left that night

But I ran first and left you crying
Now, what makes sense is really nothing

‘Shadow’
Lena Bitare Nov 2014
You were long hidden
In every rhyme I write
Lies your shadows beneath
Lives a memory of friendship

The moon always tell
Tales of you when we’re under
The same sky we both breathe…
A pink candle of love you lit

I was young and knew nothing
That we could be something
I stopped living when you leave
In stories I write, I started living

Pieces of ship, found on my notes
Drowning in the river where I throw
If butterflies have told me back then
It will all be different

It’s a matter of choice you made
As you watch me go in a road I take
You will still be a shadow
No matter what I do

"267,580,800 SECONDS"
Lena Bitare Nov 2014
I was trying to rewrite
A love story that'll never come back
Mornings that will not happen again
But will age with a broken fence

You said I put colors in your life
But as time pass by
You take away my colors
Til I'm black and white

But I'm not numb to feel
I'm just dumb to think
Does age excuse my foolishness?
Does experience explain your fondness?

Thrice the pain when you said hello again
I was like a machine that can't reciprocate
So I write in a poem to throw my feelings away
It can no longer be us, at the end of the day

74,328 hours I spend thinking
But even a split second won't get me anything
The value I gave to our moments together
Is the same price I'm paying to get you off my head

Rant
Lena Bitare Nov 2018
They told me to come to my senses;
When they don't know where I came from;
They didn't know the road I took
The mishaps, the roadblocks I endured;
The bruises I got;
The sunshine I tried so hard to produce;
The pain I endured;
The touch of gold
I had to give myself;
They didn't know how awoke I was;
As I dream with my eyes wide open;
And chill with flames;
I watch every paper burn;
Every feeling stained;
I burn every bridge I cross;
In my head;
Since I was a kid;
I was told
That I would die
If I don't hold the end of a rope.
A dreamer was told to wake up; This is her answer.

Some Words
Lena Bitare Oct 2014
People speak when they want to
People act when they feel to
People say things that can tear you apart
But as long as you know your heart

Don’t give up..
It’s a dark world after all
Let your light shine upon them all..
Just keep walking

"Heartbeat's the limit"
Lena Bitare Dec 2014
There was a time
When you asked me
"Can I sit beside you?"
I nod and you looked frantic

There was a place
Where our dreams came true
I feel loved
So as you

There was a space
That limits our body
A vast space between us
Only gone when I close my eyes

Tenant
Lena Bitare Mar 2018
You were just like the darkness in a tunnel
I once walked in…
There was a clue I will be getting in there,
Then one fine day
I was inside that tunnel
I saw you
Your chest,
Empty,
I do not get to see first
And so I came
Little by little
Because
I saw
You
But…
I never get to see everything that will follow
But who cares
You were my home
And now
You are a closed door
And I,
A tenant waiting outside
Waiting for the doors to open
But you were locked
So I stayed
Waited
Kissed the rain
Felt the sun lighting on my face
Days and days passed
Years
Decades
Centuries
There was a notice
That you were never going to open
And so I smiled
And one fine day
Waited still
For the rays of the sun
For the rain to drop
I can’t tell the difference anymore
between a sunny and a rainy day
Between summer and winter
I can barely tell
Everything felt
Just the same
Before you came,
Pointless.
