Old
I was all by myself, when it dawn on me that I was too old for my age.

Too old to be older, even if that was all I wanted as a child.

Too old to be a lover, even if that was my must wanted fantasy.

Too old to heartbroken, if  when I did my best to avoid it happening.

Too old to be in another relationship,
After all the ones I try left me in pieces & ashes.

Too old to tell you how old you are in my heart for this short time together.

Am just too old to be here, too old to tell you, too old to agree with you, too old to let you go.

Am just too old to be older than am old to be.
He watches
Relentlessly,
Incessantly,
As through my mouth
Substance flows out.
Making way through my ears
And nose too.

'Oh my what shall I do to help?'
He calls out,
Scurrying to my aid.
"Do nothing'I plead
Just watch me bleed.
Let me bleed
These words and emotions away"
At times words come out like blood, spraying allover....  Making one seem like they're in an abnormal situation.

the vagueness in your eyes
tells how much you fed me with lies

the expression on your face
shows you lost love someplace

the tone of your voice
sounds like i'm no longer your choice

the touch of your hand
feels like leaving is what you demand

and the coldness of your heart
explicitly shows we can no longer restart.
what we are right here and now.

Hello Little Bird
I wonder if you heard

We are locked indoors
I can only watch you soar

Would you listen to my song
Where did we go wrong

Please dont go away
I want you to stay

How selfish of me
I forgot you are free
And
We are Caged

No use in saying
what won’t
be understood.
After all,
how many times
must the experiment
be run?
How many
times must the
confirmation of
vacancy
distrust
misunderstanding
and rejection
be faced
before the soul
learns to stop
speaking,
as a prisoner in
a foreign
land sits silently
within a cell
between walls
built of ears
and eyes
who see and
hear all
and use
all against him?
How long before
the soul is
reduced to giving
only a knowing nod
and a saddened smile?

Dancing in the moonlights shadows
A beaming light, O so narrow

Following the glimpse of light
Hearing laughter of the utmost delight

A glance through the little door
Two  youngins lying on the floor

Chatting about the brightest things
On I go as midnight rings

Now excited about what tomorrow brings

Time to step out of my dark room
Now I dance in the light of the moon
Feeling strong for a bright future.

Hardest to find when in need
Can bleed out of thee when
silence is the key

These joyous instruments are models of expression
hold you back or set you free
if you can handle their potential
they are dangerous
but oh how beautiful they can be

Of course its words that I mean

they say nothing in life is free

love
pain
greif
joy

the cost of harnessing these
or living through them is incalculable

but saying them
aloud
expressing emotions
through these simple letters
is powerful

yet their complexity can be captured
by these words

That's the richness that I need

my knuckles are bruised from the day before
i am now tense and scared
for tomorrow
another battle
is equal to another day
i have to fight for dominance
when it comes to being safe
for myself
you're not going to win today
i am a soldier
a soldier who's fought great battles
a soldier who's had enough scars
who's fought hard enough
who's fought for things i shouldn't have to
strong soldier
but weak inside
i am not capable to fight against the most violent of battles
you slay my hands
my mind
my mouth
my system
i am your slave
you've won
but i have not yet lost
maybe tomorrow i'll win
but it's the beginning of what will repeat
for ever
every day
365 days
until i let myself go
and lose
but until then i will put up a fight
and fight back harder
i will win against you
i will be victorious
it will be me who's Laughing
it will be when i have come to terms with everything
i won't have to let myself go
when i find my happiness
My strength to fight back
my power is stronger with you
i am winning a battle that is endless
with you
don't die strength
i need you to go on
