Shadow of the letters ...

as the sun ...
makes a shadow ...
with every morning ...
to every thing it touch ...
since it up rise ...
until it set down ...
my letter has ...
it's ...
just to make ...
from my soul's shadows ...
all words ...
love's words ...
my words ...
which could show you ...
through it shadow ...
the love which i hold ...
and wrote inside my heart ...
at every artery ...
and on my heart's wall ...
which it never go ...
even it's shadow ...
will stay there ...
always ...
because it's drew ...
the name of my life ..
which i live for ...

Shadow of the letters ...

however letters runs ...
to create it's shadow ...
it's words runs to one point ...
no other choice ...
only one way ...
to fly there ...
to no where ...
directly to heart ...
which my all letters ...
made a shadow for her ...
to the lady ...
whom owned ...
my all thoughts ...
to make me always write ...
about her ...
and i'v did ...
her shadow ...
inside my heart ...
and within my all words ...

and you know ...

those small blots of ink
you're the calligraphy
that loops around me
I love how fancy calligraphy looks in letters. It feels so cared for and like they put a lot of effort and emotion into it.

my faraway friend
in every note you send
I find your smile

On quiet little corners turned
And freshly folded blackened ink
Beneath pillows raspy, hands left grasping
And above all thoughts which were recently freed

There are pages stating and there is change
As there is fire waiting for the freedom to be

Pleasnt quiet little corners turned
Burn
Though you once had held a candle to me
This one is about all of the old letters and notes from my various exs. Just one of many options. Truly at peace regardless.

Today a most peculiar day.
All was in an orderly way.
Every kid was sorted in a row.
All was neat and tidied with a bow.

And when was asked to write down our name.
All pens moved inmedeatly the same.
There were names in purple, pink, red and blue,
But my pitch black ink pen just didn't do.

Everybody looks at me and frowns.
I felt an idiot, and they all looked like clowns.
The worst part was the unwanted pity.
As if I've been through the worst in this city.

For my ink wrote words as black as my soul.
The words to never be read at all.
My name as dark as a beetle eye.
For I still don't know,... Who am I?

But every word I wrote down on my sheet.
And every time my name was written so neat.
My pen would lose it's ink more and more.
And the darkness would seize, dry and sore.

And that is how my inner colour shone.
As every letter left my comfort zone.
My silver words now burst with light.
To think they used to be as dark as night.

Write your pain away.
But allow your ink to stay.
For we grow and we learn.
With every feelings that burn.
The intense feeling of freedom when writing how you feel. Knowing, no one can judge you for who you are on the inside.

Dear Karen Benvie
I right this to say that
I am very upset about
How you changed my life
Not for the better but
For the worst
You ****

Karen
If weren't for your bullying
And bad behavior
I wouldn't have been
In more trouble that I nearly was
Sent to guantanamo
Instead I would have been
A medical examiner
And you.....
In gitmo

Karen
If it weren't for you
I would not have
A dangerously low self-esteem
And inferiority complex
You ******* racist thot
Yes thot because you
Nearly stole my boyfriend
Because of what
I am Arab.


***** yourself
In hell.
Girl who caused me more problems than bin laden.

i started writing in all lower case
because capital letters were too much
too heavy
and too proper

marking the start of a thought
that's what they're supposed to do
but when i think about emotion
and conveying what's in my mind
there's no clear beginning
and never an end either

these words are just as they are
they manifest my thoughts
at least to some degree
and they showcase my emotion
in this moment at least

i want to use these words
these symbols of life
just how i picture them
and just how i feel them

maybe you see it differently
and i would expect that much
because if we all had the same mind
i don't think we'd crave each other's touch

sitting at my desk,
writing
not me but
the demons
residing within me
every word,
is mine,
but not about me
maybe you or that one girl, out of many
who knows
my pen bleeding like my heart
every letter word or thought
drenched with blood
no sweat

When its Monday and the sun’s out
Did you think of novocaine and the stench of bleach
Did the ceiling feel closer with every breath of your punctured lungs
Did you have to force your heart to remember how to beat
Did wildfires spread between the cracks of your ribs?
once the burning had faded—did you know the feeling?
Is it something that you would’ve once called pain

Was pain anything more than a syllable; a roll of the tongue
To you, did poison taste saccharine sweet?
Were you afraid to heal; is blood your ink?  
do you find yourself infatuated by tragedy
Is your burden only more fuel for your art

With every inhale were you left emasculated;
Did you feel less alive despite the euphoria; despite the peace of mind
numb from glue and gasoline in ignition

Did you ever feel like a fallen star?
Did you ever talk too fast because you knew
no one was listening anyway
Was it hard to make everyone happy when
They gave you not even a second glance
Was it hard to love someone to the point where they could
only let you down

Tell me
Is it better to burn out than to fade away
Is it better to be immortalized?

She wrote him a letter,
In a language, he didn't knew.
He kept the letter,
In a place, she didn't knew.

He never asked her about the letter,
Cause he knew he will not reply.
She wrote him the letter,
Cause she never wanted a reply.

He knew it was a love letter,
It was the love he didn't knew.
She knew it was love,
It was him she didn't knew.

So she wrote him a love letter,
In the language, he didn't knew
