You know we can't go on this way
And now so many years
The stolen guns and gasoline
Your fire perserveres

Recall mid-way when from your eyes
The Devil got away
Where I lay long since mesmerized
Now secrets on display

Never us to run and hide
Those times we were lost
They swore our love was suicide
We'd never weighed the cost

Search heated miles for peaceful shade
Hold hands through a velvet masquerade
No witnesses beside
I dressed as your enemy
You my princess bride
you
dreaming of you
like I always do
you're still in my head
like you never left my bed
I still miss your hair
your scent in the air
but baby you're gone
and it's got me all wrong
I like to play music wherever I am,
I find it very grounding, my centering stand.
Even if mentally I'm drifting in the clouds,
Humming the tune, maybe singing out loud.

I like that for three minutes I feel something else,
Shuffle my playlist and the cards I’ve been dealt.
I could be angry or happy or sad,
These songs change my spirits, even just a tad.

A verse can hold me when no one is near,
A chorus can quiet what I don't want to hear.
Melodies mend what I can't fix alone,
Lyrics remind me my soul has a home.

So I play my songs to remember or forget,
To calm down my worries and ease my regret.
Music keeps me moving when I’m stuck in my head,
Breathing life into days that feel heavy as lead.
I’ve started writing just about what I like,
No more poems to boost a man’s psyche.
My words aren’t for you to misunderstand-
This pen will never write your name again.
I cower within
Shames the constant companion,
that just won't go home.
The most beautiful flower will wither away!
But you my beloved, even in death your smile still lingers in my heart.
And your dazzling eyes still daunt me in my sleep!.
Standing at the
edge of the
room,
flashing your
eyes to every
inch,
you wait in
silence.
You whisper the
secrets one
desire;—
You make them
go blind;
Bind to
you;—
Till none
is left in
them.
Do you
hunger
sorrow,
joy for a
reason?
Do you think fairly and unbiasedly when you look into something?
Why be so rude?
To keep yourself warm
in the freezing cold,
you stole my seat,
which I saved
long ago.

Did you know?
The Atlantic's mighty
seas shed their tears
'till no Mariana
Trench remained;
The Northern winds
kept swirling,
awakening the fury
of the Typhoon lord.
All in vain—
seeing my
vulnerable pain.

May I ask,
Why?
Why did you
bury yourself
deep down in a
place I cannot reach,
below my wrinkled feet,
leaving behind
a dead rose
in a black
***?
A loss hurts so deeply. The hurt may not be seen by others, it even may be due to their actions. But that pain...
Led by only moonlight.
I wander till im lost.

I find myself in a forest
untouched by all but frost.

Its quieter than death itself
I'm afraid to even breathe.
I can feel the eyes upon my back.

I try, but fail to scream.

So lost now, what do I do?
I dont know my left from right.

The darkness seems to compress
I search for a source of light.

I look for any kindness within, the demons surrounding me.
******, vile, hate and rage are all that I can see, so I sit down and hug my knees.


As I pray " please someone find me"
(To the One Who Never Read It)

Words which silenced
the fieriest volcano,
Commas that held the
flashes of the skies;
Etched; Stitched;—
Like a spider web,
stuck in an Oak tree;
With no name written
at the end...
Tell me,
Tell me dear,
Do you remember
the first ink blot which
shed its tears on you?
Pain of not knowing to the truth, is the worst...Never let that happen...
I always loved blue–
the blue sky
the blue ocean
my little blue pen.
I painted oceans on canvas
in various shades of blue.

But today, I am blue with
every bitter memory I have
of you.
