I watch people in the world
Throw away their lives lusting after things,
Never able to satisfy their desires,
Falling into deeper despair
And torturing themselves.
Even if they get what they want
How long will they be able to enjoy it?
For one heavenly pleasure
They suffer ten torments of hell,
Binding themselves more firmly to the grindstone.
Such people are like monkeys
Frantically grasping for the moon in the water
And then falling into a whirlpool.
How endlessly those caught up in the floating world suffer.
Despite myself, I fret over them all night
And cannot staunch my flow of tears.
A new introspection incited within this body of mine,
When he left early that one morning;
As I lay naked in the bed,
Wrapped within the white sheets
A gut-wrenching feeling irritated me.
Whenever I saw the bed sheet so tightly enveloping the bed,
It seemed as if the bed and the sheet were soul mates,
For they never separated from each other
This perennial intimacy was something I couldn't get,
Because what I did,
And what time made me do,
Was sit in the lap of a stranger every night,
And show him fallacious pleasure.
Every day, new people, new demands and new currencies
But that one morning was different,
As I got out of the bed,
I looked at the mirror,
The reflection of my **** body fascinated me,
Unlike most days, when I used to callously judge my body,
For the natural flaws that hid my smooth pale white skin,
That morning was different.
I kept staring my body for hours and hours,
It made me daydreamy,
It made me feel as if contentment finally knocked my doors,
I felt beautiful,
I felt strong,
And, and I felt perfect.
That one day,
I could see Aphrodite smiling,
Pandora breathing,
And Athena pondering,
It was my body
A harlot’s body,
There was no regret,
Just delight. Just delight.
my mind
will not
find itself
to you
anymore
Disrupting the peace
They come in with force and power
Some are terrified
While others are joyful
They tickle my toes
And bruise my shines
They crash with force, again
And again

You
Pain. Misery. and Regret.
Its the outcome of our love.
I wish one day your smile, your laugh,
your voice, your face, leaves me alone for eternity..
Our memories, drown me in pain.
Your promises, haunt my brain.
You slowly built my misery.
You damaged and changed me as this monster that lost all hope.
If I were to know what I know now, I would of let you go.
Why can't your memory just leave me alone?
Has it not understood that its killing me so slow?
You were the world to me, now I'm left with no world to call my own.
While you no longer see your happiness within me,
I'm alone in pain, with the outcome of our love.
While your loving someone else,
I'm here, stupidly and deeply loving you with vain hopes...
the stars burn,
and my heart yearns,
for something more or less,
I can't seem to fight the moonlight,
or escape its radiant beams,
oh this night I praise,
might it be,
the last I see.

amidst the loudness,
the brightening,
the thundering,
the exquisiteness
of our majestic human race

i am effortlessly
me.
it's as simple as i am

there's some dream that
sits upon you in the
dark of day
when the hateful
snark and snap of bird song
drags you through
the gutter
to the places you
saw in the sea;
when gusting
floating
reaping the minds
of those you admire in
the night
but hate in the city streets;
you knew them once
in yourself
but lost it
somewhere amongst
the all.
