A Warrior's Spirit
robin tarox Oct 2022
They might be few they might be thousands,
They might have set out to conquer the suns...
Their swords dripping blood of their enemies,
Whose bones sharpen their weapons with ease...

Sharpness of their blades are rendered dull,
They cannot cut through that one adamant skull...
They cannot pierce through that cold heart,
Of the one born without fear from the start...

They keep trying to shatter his soul relentlessly,
But each strike deflected time and again tirelessly...
The loss of ichor and sweat not felt as burden,
Because a warrior's spirit is never broken...

The broken memories
robin tarox Dec 2021
Broken bones and shivering souls,
Harshly uprooted from the ground...

Counting scars and all the holes,
Happiness nowhere to be found...

Hard and thick are all the walls,
Shielding love from all around...

Away from the heart it tries to crawl,
Yet your memories are kept, safe and sound...

The Incomplete Tale
robin tarox Sep 2018
You dove in my life like a free bird,
Unknown to what you would become to me,
I had heard your tale from the creator,
Certainly you have heard of me somewhere too...

I thought my riddles were finally being answered,
For once, a reality I wouldn't want to flee,
You were not an illusion just like the other,
Conversing with myself, I started to argue...

Although our newborn ties could not be severed,
Our path will never converge, we both agree,
But you surely will remain inside me forever,
Reflecting not only my thoughts, but whatever I do...

The beats of both our hearts we heard,
If each other, in this lifetime, we don't see,
In the next, I would love to be the one you bother,
For now, a paining goodbye... out of the blue...

Emptiness
robin tarox May 2016
Time flew away since we last met,
Eternity it seems since the last sunset...
I close my eyes, and hear what you once said,
An everlasting echo, I feel inside my head...

Eyes full of sadness, heart full of Emptiness,
It's of no use watching away, I'm out of happiness...
At last, here's summer, but I still feel cold,
I look for it everywhere, my soul has been sold...

I wish one more glimpse for my aching eyes,
Blink once and twice, and then it cries...
Guilt is the color and my hands are stained,
No washing away, no matter how much tears rained....

Nothing remained as we had once designed,
Where is the love pact that we had signed?
If I faded away from your heart, I can't say,
But my heart couldn't do else, but ask you to stay..

Hear me out...
robin tarox Jul 2014
My eyes are tired, but I am not sleepy,
There's something I want to tell, but what to say?
My heart gained weight, there's so  much I keep inside,
Open the door to my soul, don't close it away...

Time fleets by, no reply, I become hasty,
Seconds, minutes, hours all became a day...
Days will turn to months, how much will I hide?
Will you ever ask me why my colors turned to gray?

I'm losing my mind, maybe slowly but surely,
It's getting dark, I'm losing sight of the sun ray...
Not sure where I'm headed, should I flow with the tide?
I've waited long, perhaps I should take another way..

I wonder everyday, can you really not see?
I wonder everyday, is it a game you play?
I wonder everyday, are my hints not a guide?
I'll stop wondering, and speak out, without delay...

Would You Do The Same?
robin tarox Mar 2014
I might not be the best,
Certainly not perfect...
I try to understand,
But I take some time to see...

I want to know what is wrong,
What is it that you expect...
What did I do?
Why are you not having tea?

Your silence spreads all around,
When you start suddenly to reflect...
No matter how much time it takes,
I'll become what you want me to be...

Even if it takes years,
I'll try to make everything perfect...
But at this point I ask just one thing,
Would you do the same for me?

Never give up
robin tarox Sep 2013
We bleed, we endure,
We fight ignoring our scars,
And we keep moving forward,
Because warriors we are...

With time, the hits get stronger,
Sometimes making us kneel,
But we get up and hit harder,
Even without any time to heal...

Dark days will remain,
We were born to see them,
But we stand up against it,
That's why we are like a gem...

No matter how scary the future is,
Why fear when we can fight?
We'll never be lost in the dark,
Because we are the creator of our own light!

Fighter
robin tarox May 2013
Always afraid of the future,
I fear what it might bring...
Life can turn to a scary adventure,
But to my hopes I prefer to cling...

Life is full of surprises,
Everyday yet another situation...
There might be lack of advices,
But it never forbids a solution...

My hands without doubts will tremble,
Life will hit hard to give me pain...
Despite of the agony I'll be unbeatable,
Until I stand up and hit back again...

So many years of ignorance,
But only now I came to understand...
I will never fail to advance,
Until after each fall I once again stand....

My Inspiration
robin tarox Sep 2011
Ever since I first saw her, I was dazzled
She came as a spark, and sparkled my universe
I was speechless, and had no words,
She came and instantly lifted my curse...

For centuries I sat in a black corner
Without uttering a word, I kept listening
Until she appeared and looked at me,
Magically, every locked doors were opening...

I was freed from the black pit
I witnessed a new world with a new aspect
I was thankful to her beautiful eyes
This is why, she is the one I respect...

She held my hands and taught me to walk
To walk without any fear of falling
Without her support in my life,
I am sure I would keep on failing...

— The End —
