we are the champions
don't stop me now i'm having such a good time
the show must go on
can anybody find me
it doesn't really matter
killer
Hope someday,
I could have
enough reasons
for these tears.

This is my oasis in the fog.
I was baptized in these waters
and I don't even believe in God.
But now;
my sanctuary is tainted barely
as you throw your rocks in my pond.

After three or four the ripples still,
can't even touch the shore
like an infant child reaching for their feet for the first time.

Clutching ... Grasping ... ******* ... Gasping ...

Searching for the lady bugs to fight against these aphids.
How could say this isn't where the rain hits
when I've never heard a single one of my songs on your playlist?

...Memories fade like a fragrance...

Or so dreamt the cool cat that slept
on the warm hood of a suburban in his suburban hood.
Born in a summer haze and died just the same.

Will you come sit by my side at the piano
and criticize the way I turn the pages?


Because kings are rulers but can't measure a thing,
all you can do is sit and count your treasure in vain.
Heavy lies the crown but don't let it weigh you down.

I feel oddly godly in this mortal skin of mine.
Sure I bleed like a human but my colors are true.
Not crimson red or royal blue.
Hell I mean, they aren't even cowardly yellow or envious green,
rather transparent; unseen.

Now I know how it feels
to splatter and shatter
like raindrops on the windshield.

Too intense and immense I can barely take it,
I quickly recoil like the foot that breaks forth
from the warmth of your blanket.

not misogynist : o ) , men have their issues too like being silly egoists all their life !

what i have written immediately above illustrates quite well the difference between poetic and non poetic writing, technically that should be “lives”, but “life” compounds also the sense of a man having this issue too, that is, the sentence blurrs and combines both the sense of an individual man (perhaps me  ;o ) and men generically !
Some days are **** it.
Some days are fight it.
Some days are clear,
and some days you ignite it.

It's not always a choice.
What you chose, you won't complain.
None of these decisions,
Seem to be very sane.

One over the other
You pick and choose blindly
But either or, will fill your void kindly.

Your trust resolution
Is also your suspect.
With your magnifying glass
Your blurred eyes look though the crack
Bedazzled by what you see, what is the cause of my misery?

Poison or solution?
Pain or resignation?
Your mind is wrapped up in
Caution and frustration.

For a dear friend struggling.<3

Reema
You place pressure over my soul who yearns for freedom
As you speak words of utter nonsense
As my heart beats systematically, slowly and bitterly
Actions, movements and consequences. All leading to the day you ripped my soul
Dragging it down with you, to your deepest lows of sins
I cry but no one listens
I see the sun shining up above the black lining
I see your devil eyes blinding as I bleed, finding a key
That opens the door to my happiness
The door you guarded for years and years
I run to the door
You pull me back
I beg for your pardon
If I didn't leave now I would never leave
I'd die here with the monstrous abductor of my innocence
cold hearted and furious
You throw me even deeper to your hard bitter valley of sins
I cry
But this is too much
The years don't comfort me
The shouts don't give me hope
So I sit still and I wait
For the day god takes me away
The day I have no worries or no pains
The day I rest under a bed of roses
The day my heart stops beating
Is it sad, that my only hope, the only thing I have on my mind, the string that holds me is death?
Where are those words which only my heart can speak?
Those which would bring you closer to me?
To outpour my heart into your ears, into your eyes,
To captivate your senses; but not just the five...
To tip you off balance and upsweep your feet,
Bring your head to my chest so you can feel the beat
Of my heart which is pounding so arrhythmically for you
Which it will with no doubt for the rest of my life,
My sweetheart do me the greatest honour... be my wife?
"I guess you can come"
Five little words.
They hurt.
You don't seem to care.
You don't seem to notice
I don't feel welcome here.
Always an after thought.
No one seems to see
The words you say
They really hurt me.
