Technology, Technology
It runs our lives
From the alarm to the evening TV
Just count your sheep
in the hopes of a six hour sleep
Dragging, pushing, poking and grinding
All for what? A day where we swing away?
Reminise and rewind our lives gone astray
All our friends are easily connected
So why do we feel so alone
Looking for love on a computer screen
We’re all ******* with the naturalist gene
Nature’s monitored via tv screens
With copious numbers of LCD’s, CD’s, Mp3’s to sail the seas
Heaven forbid the ******* sneeze
That’s technology you can’t see.

I miss that sparkle in your eyes......and holding you tight under clear blue skies
You had that sparkle that lit up a room.....and made me smile.......just to see it I would walk a million miles
After a long hard day and I would come to the door.......that sparkle would meet me that's for sure.............. as the time goes by the memories will not fade .......and I will always remember the ones we made........
Late at night when I go to sleep.........in my dreams ....that beautiful sparkle is all that I see.
Please forgive me as I reminise......and drift off in thought about that that sparkle I miss.
#that sparkle is one thing I miss

It was almost a year,
September 11 2009.
At this time last year,
honey you were mine.

My mind's going back,
thinking thoughts of then.
The talks we had,
things we used to do when.

We were together,
but this time this year.
You're with her,
and I'm alone here.

Insignificantly enough,
we both have significant others.
We've both fallen again,
we both have separate lovers.

But I miss my bestie,
my one true friend.
The one who said,
he'd be there till the end.

I miss just talking,
with you about it all.
I miss having you catch me,
every time I'd fall.

This time last year,
it was all that could have been.
September 11 2009,
but now it's 2010.

So much has changed,
us, me and you.
Nothing more is said,
nothing more to do.

Just to reminise,
to remember it all.
Silently crying,
here I am, I fall ...

Break-Up

Boy : Who am i to disagree,
when lonliness and heartbreak,
pushes over,
steady watching me,
looking at the odd,
i can tell shes pretty much done,
looking at the past,
Reminise about the fun,
now its a break up.

Girl : His love was like the sun,
and all its heat-waves,
knocked me off my feet indeed,
now i swimming in the shade,
love the fun times,
as if it was only yesterday,
flipped around a few dimes to make a payday,
im wishing i didnt have this bad day,
now its a break-up.

we can talk about africa
a childhood spent
we can lay things bare
pretend not to care (too much)
we can reminise
leave out main events
give the o'er a kiss
yet get behind pretence
and of course there's Twinnings tea

The man behind my memory.
@niamornimo
She lived in fantasy of
How and what's like,
Her whole life,
Where her pure heart was handed to you.
She was only 15 but timid.
Kept you at arms length
But after a while earned her trust.
She had a dark past down her memory lane
As she encountered
Betrayal,
Mistreatment,
To being damaged and scarred for life.
Before you came she found her way
Around her misfortunes to almost accepting
The course her life once took being history.
Her reservations very well informed
You knew she was a rigid and fragile soul.
Down the romantic walk ways
She gave you every insight of her.
Like a woman took up the role of
Grown up and gave you her all with undivided attention.
Mercilessly biting down her trust,
Swiping off her balance to a state of confusion
She still had hope.
Regardless of the tough road
Her faith adamant in destiny like
A staunch Muslim with no demeanor.
She'll meet again hoping
You wouldn't have forgotten her
To imprint the original heartbreak.
The journey of healing

Remembering That day,
that we walked on the beach,
everyone was in imaginate,
While we were on a leash,
Reminise about the days that i spent,
with her,
I thought i loved someone else,
but when it came to her,
lookin into her eyes,
As the sun hits the ocean,
Thinkin bout that one kiss,
that didnt happen,
was an illusion,

But the death of her mom,
it would only make her calm,
a few times,
developed feelings were born,
That your so strong,
cry a few just to get it out,
IF she finds out that i love you,
she mite have her doubts,
Just a troubled teen,
trying to figure out,
why is the world so cold,
jesus help us out,

heading home from burger king,
had some bad thoughts,
gotta save the trouble,
that im got in ,
just to get lost,
suicidal over the love,
that i thought was lost,
but she didnt know,
until we had the talk,
love her like my green bike,
wishing i had her here tonight,
hopin that these bad thoughts i had would make it alright,
i warned you,

alexis if you get this letter i wrote to you,
i just want you to know everything was about you,
and your struggle as a teen,
and everything that you use to,
im sorry for what i put you through,
I Still Love You.

Praying iv'e learnt my lesson
Now that they've starved me of attention
My momma used to say i was such a blessing
Till i grew up, i blew up
Now im locked up, being taught a lesson
All these drugs iv'e done left deep scars
The only cure was to deprive  me of my freedom
Now my insides are healing, behind bars
Prayng iv'e learnt my lesson
Unless this deprivations just a vacation
to depress a life of inevitable desperation
a temporary suppresion of a shamless existance
My mother prays i learnt a lesson
She prays for a better person
A person with a brighter futur
A futur full of succession, accomplishing the unexpected
I dont know what she is expecting
The bar is set so high
i will restart when i escape  these bars im behind

My father prays I lead a better life
The choices are mine, he can only give advice
Suggest to me a cleaner life
Tell me to choose a righteous wife
Hope I find happiness, adivse me to get rich
He prays i lead a simple life
He reminds me how lifes a test and you have to take it
As we saty awake and reminise of his mistakes
He prays i learnt from his misfortune
And commemorate his story
I pray i learnt my leasson
Get released into futur blessings

Till This Day
wolf Mar 2015
It's been months,
filled with complete destruction.
I'm still ******* crying,
begging myself to stop forming a mountain of emotions in the pit of my stomache,
weighing me down.
I don't think you ******* know how much of you has become part of
my sadness,
my soul,
my life.
It's as if you knew the moment you laid your eyes on me,
I craved your strength.
Oh how I miss your touch,
running your fingers on the cracks
of my porcelin body.
How could you leave me ******* helpless?
You left marks in places of agony that grew flowers only by your slightest touch.
I still solemly desire your angelic lips to be pressed against mine again,
I reminise about the way you saved me.
And all the memories that lead up to this point.
Now you're watching me ******* drown in the middle of an ocean of unspoken words and you're no longer reaching out to grab me,
you have selfishly left me to fend on my own.
I guess this is how it feels to be abandoned by someone,
I just hoped it hadn't been you.

The Masquerade
Phoenix Oct 2017
A mask of beauty
Black and gold
Flowers and sparkles

A pretty smile
Elegant hair
A long dress
And high heels

A masquerade
A night of luxury
A night of beauty

The melody of music
Fills the room
While men and women shift and sway
And continue to dance the night away

A masquerade
A night to forget
A night to reminise
A night to dance away
A night to pretend

A night to pretend you're someone else
Pretend you're not a gambler
Pretend you're not a prostotute
Pretend you're someone else

— The End —
