Don't sing your life in falsetto
Just to reach a higher tune

There's nothing wrong with being mellow
It doesn't mean you'll catch the blues

But maybe rolling along the lines
A flat made you a minor key

You only need a few more notes
To turn it 'round to harmony

But what is music really
But a few notes on a page

Just because you're an old hymn
Doesn't mean you have to age

Maybe this is just too much
To say in just one song

Just because you're life isn't Beethoven
Doesn't mean it's wrong

fit out
or
fit in?

the former
has its
sweet
victories

the latter
more of
an exercise
for sentries

Stop
Take a moment and think
Look
At all of the beautiful scenes
Listen
To all of the wonderful sounds
Relax
Take a deep breath and let it all in
Enjoy
Life is just an adventure, let it begin

It's deeper than you think
Faster than you blink
Brighter than the day
Darker than the night.
Blurier than the rain
Sharper than a knife
Works in different ways
The result is always the same
It retrieves a new topic
For your time to drain
It repeats itself again
After a certain time frame
As much as it works
  as much as it pains
You will never stop believing
In the decisions that it takes.
Just believe in it!

you were my daylight.

i was a mere infant
who, at the crack of dawn
of his very first day outside the womb,
immediately, stupidly fell in love
with the warmth the daylight provided
and abandoned fear and doubt
in the presence of the light it shone.

sadly, though
that was short-lived
as i learned more about the daylight.

fact number one
the daylight shines upon every single one
there is no such thing as favoritism
and thus
you must never, EVER
think you're special

fact number two
the daylight can burn you
spend too much time basking in its light
and the feeling's comparable to
a moth burned by the very flame
that it is helplessly drawn to.

as i gathered more facts
i soon realized that dusk was soon approaching
but i never wanted to lose this feeling.

but, as all things go,
powerless against the constant flow of time,
desperately crying, screaming
for my daylight not to go away

it just left.

i wonder what new things dusk can bring.
interesting
this doesn't feel like a poetry piece..... but i'll post it anyway.

I can't stop
laughing haha
words are so ****
funny
lol
except when they
bleed
into the pages
and leave
scars
in the deepest recesses of
flesh that
haunt you as you
dream at night
killing every
fairy detail
in the fairy world you
escape to
the moment
you close
your eyes
Okay I admit I was bored haha

There cannot be only one sky,
I would have the chance to breath
if you were under the same one
where I’m begging for air.
Even you could hear crying
the glowing petals of my senses,
when the infinite is filled up
in the gaze, gone up in flames.
You could be satiated
with filtered ardour
through oriental dyed fabrics.
I’ll spare you from stifling
walking across my incense labyrinths,
where the ironic violet rivulets
will quench the thirsty mystery.
Mystery doesn’t give itself
to whom is not enjoying it,
what are you waiting for?
Bring me back to joy!
