SYRIA HAS CHEMICAL WEAPONS
RUSSIA HAS HACKING BEAT
NORTH KOREA WITH GUIDED MISSILES
AND PRESIDENT TRUMP WITH HIS TWEETS


THERE IS WAR ALL AROUND US
UNREST ACROSS THE GLOBE
U.K. NOW HAS BREXIT UNLEASHED
AND HARRY HAS A BETROTHED


WHAT IS A BOY TO DO
WHEN OUR WORLD IS IN A MESS
JUST HAVE SOME CHOCOLATE ICE CREAM
AND PUT IT ALL TO REST
OUR WORLD IS IN TURMOIL WAR EVER WHERE AND COUNTRIES AT EACH OTHERS THROATS LETS JUST CHILL.

HUH
I HAVE BEEN IN THE HOODS OF CLOUDS
THE SPACE WAS CLEAR AND THE VIEW NEVER APPEARED
BLUE
CLOUDS WOULD GET SAD IN THE DAYS LIKE WE HUMAN
AND SPACE NEVER QUARRELED

DAYS PAST AND THE RANGE AND THE MOUNTAIN IN THE SKY
STARTED SO MELT
I NEVER SHOWED FEAR IN MY EYES CAUSE OF THE WORDS
NO ONE THOUGHT ABOUT WHO THE WORLD WAS DYING
IN OUR HANDS

NONE OF THIS PEOPLE WHO ARE UP THE CAN SEND THOSE STACK
SPECK OF DISAPPEARING SPACES
WHO IS WHO
AND OUR GENERATION
SO TAKE TIME AND THING ABOUT

EVERYTHING ELSE NEED TO LIFE AND THE DICTATION OF THIS
ARE NOT MADE FOR ALL
BRILLIANTS ARE NOT THERE TO **** AND NEVER CONSIDER ABOUT LIFE
SHYAKA MARTIN
Once there was a man who had only one friend.
Every day, just before the demise of a cyclamen orange burning ball on the horizon ~ he swam to the shore, waving with a magnificent tail, blowing bubbles and bundles of water and air into the wide open skies.

Under the darkening heavens, he sang the muffled song. Tempting his beloved. . .reaching magic, farther then any sonar's ability. Abnormal coldness froze Icelandic Beauty. But beneath the surface, life was warmer without wars. Dwarf seals were jumping into the laced ocean; trying to cry each time they were cut off the Earth's gravity.

This Mighty friend of an old man, was his only link to the global world. The man was old-fashioned; had no telecommunication facilities, his radio were gulls, stray cats, shepherd dogs and sheep on a green hill, behind his wooden hut.

Sometimes he looked over his shoulder, only to determine whether his elderly donkey is able to follow. . . or do they both need a little rest, just to postpone the books from the saddle for later and spread the beautifully ornamented Indian carpet under the great great grand olive tree ~ to take a reviving little nap in the shade.

When he woke up, the old man lit his wooden pipe, puffed few beautiful rings of indigo smoke, smirked to a buzzing bee and found that the air is still pure enough. The pressure was normal, the wind was playing with wave foams in the neighbouring bay.

Under the olives, hanging from the tree canopy, the quietness was fulfilling the old man's heart. Motionless peace was heard. Tranquility.
And the motion of a Humpback Whale. Leaving.

I can't believe how idiotic I was.

Loving you was harder than David's stone, knocking me dead mentally, and I didn't realize it until blood dripped along my temple.

Two opposites I thought would go great together only rebelled  when close.

Let both stay far apart, for neither were meant to be close, rather "symbolically paired".

They say it happens all when the Time comes
Seems that the clock stopped finally ticking
For when it runs a thousand miles
There is no one to stop us
From doing our own thing
You know it doesn't matter what the others are saying
One day a scholar, the next without power
We are the masters of our destiny, so is the Truth
No clock
No fear
No globe
Can destroy what is meant to be.

My heart is a melting *** of emotions
Oh boy, don't get me confused with those flakes
and their brash mannerisms
I'm a snow globe with messy thoughts covering every inch of my brain
My eyes are car headlights leading me down a beaten path through welcoming views and dreaded ones
And my lips,
they're a clock,
searching for the right time to say or do anything
these things make me invincible

He cranes tiredly over folds of parchment
As sunlight falls across his ashen features
And the restless night becomes lost
Within a sea of fading maps and broken compasses.

Worn pencils collect on hardwood like dust,
And discarded errors in calculation fall into the corners.
He stumbles weakly between varying levels of consciousness,
And exhaustion claims an inch more of his body
With each exasperated flutter of his eyelids.

He spins the globe to his right with a lazy hand
And catches Africa with his finger
Wishing that he could’ve been anywhere but here
Because it is immeasurably heartbreaking
To have the entire world at your fingertips
And to have never seen any of it.

You do not know love
until you are painfully familiar
with the constant ache that takes ownership of your soul
far too often when you are without him by your side

you do not know love until your mind is sewn
with thoughts of him
scattered in every creek
until there is not an empty or peaceful corner to back away into
without bumping into a plantation within the garden
that he has grown inside of you

you do not know love until his hands explore your skin as though
it is a map of the world that you plan to venture through together
and even the green and blue running through your wrists are now a subtle representation of the globe that you shall journey through together

and he brings to you
the warmth
that will hit you both
when you step off the plane in an unfamiliar land

the hurried bustle through a crammed airport
as you rush for your flight
with laughter in your eyes whilst your luggage flies
in the same way that you feel you are when you're with him

you do not know love until his lips are medicinal
and each kiss possesses the power to heal
and you were so broken to begin with

you do not know love until when you are in is presence
you feel the platonic plates of the earth halt beneath your feet
and you daren't breathe
in fear of losing a second of the moment that you know will already fleet by far too soon

you do not know love until his laughter is music to your ears
and amongst a shop of worthless CDs
consisting of auto-tuned pop garage of false teen romance
he is your one favourite record
with lyrics so beautiful that you wish to replay them again and again
and if he was infact,
made of vinyl
you would hesitate to remove his dust cover
in fear of ruining the art that he is

you do not know love until he opens his mouth
and a fountain of words pour out
and you are hanging on to each and every one
until you are almost drowning in a sea of his ramblings
and you do not wish for a life jacket
but instead,
you wish for nothing more than to let a sea of his rants
wash you up and leave you on the shore
decomposed and gasping for breath

you do not know love until his touch becomes a portal
into another planet in which it is only you two that exist

you do not know love until you lay to the soundtrack of his heartbeat
and you discover the reason as to why you were homesick for all those years;
because home is in his arms

you do not know love until you are hooked on him like a drug
and there is not a sober vein left in your body
