The pedestal has crushed
from underneath everyone’s feet,
I am now vacant of all elaborate hope
that allowed the pendulum to swing
a presence swept 100 miles away
into a stream of memory

left with such unrest
I will gorge on rumination,
fill my cup with self-neglect;
loathing in the winter breeze
I can only hope to endure
every moment into its next

My head pleads,
"you moved away,
but forgot to move on”
and despite the emptiness it creates
my heart still wants to say,
"goodbye, and so long”

i'm foreign to love.
So foreign that i flinch at its touch.
Oh but there was a merry time
where it was the only one i desired.
It was the only one i deserved.
I cried for it in mellow some days,
i begged for it when sun shine shone at parade,
i endlessly yearned and yearned
Yet how can a small world be so cruel?
Cruel enough to make me too.
I am covered with sins i can't swallow and desires i can't undo.
Is there a way for me to find love too?
Well this also tells how foreign i am to love but this time it is about me thinking over the past.

Such a mere desire to have, my lady.
To be suffocated in sol of your life is a mere desire you thrist upon daily. Look at the cads!
Look how merry they are by buffoonery while you leak of probity. How generous were you when you let his sin fall in yours.
Gave a taste of your soul to a foul,
I pity you my lady.
I really do.
In odour you seek paradise with a prize of affection
yet all i see and all i will is that your kindness towards them gives them the right to ****.
Ok so this writing style of mine is called “Old man with smoked cigar's ashes dripping” like i don't know. It just clicks and here he is telling this to a lady.

Yellow roses sway
In the soft breeze
As a feather floats
Softly to the earth

Somewhere in heaven
My ancestor smiles-
whispers her deep longing
into the candle light

As summer falls into
The warm promise
of Autumn fires,
My heart is lulled into
Hibernation and the
Dream of being awakened
By the sweet kiss of spring

And then the rain comes down

Everyday i fall anew into your arms
and trace lining of your clothing.
It is white some days and none at all in nights.
Yet i trace, i trace, i trace it all over just like i paint you when i'm in need. Need.
The need of you is extreme.
Over nights i brawl in bed,
shrinking myself with the need of existence from you.
My tears weep across the floor and the water drips elegantly.
I await on your arrival.
the arrival of you in my arms sweats my windows.
I tend to draw hearts on it but you engulf me in your affection which paints vivid colours in my eyes.
I gasp for air- only to meet your lips. Our meet greets were just about one thing and it was enough for me.
Over time your touch became soft and slow.
So, so, so, soft and slow i forget that you're a fragment of my imagination. Someone on train who i thought would console me and my lonely thoughts.
Someone so magnificent i daydreamed an entire life of affection. I could write poems, sonnets, novels yet it would still not be enough to catch the spell i'm under in for someone who made me feel.
Just feel.
Feel all the hidden.
I was in one of the feels which randomly strikes and wrote it about it but these type of poems are my favourite as they come naturally to me.
Beneath the layers, there I find you.

Through heavy chains and rusted locks, I search for keys.
Until one by one they yield,
revealing your hidden soul.

At last, you let me break through your heavy walls, and there you are:  

The one who always had longed for to be found.

I cannot sit with this disgust
while you thrive in life.
I make the wrong choices—
you stay right.

What a sad game
we play.
I always enter the fight
with my eyes tied.

The sores on my body
leak with stolen glances,
moonlight nights.

My bones turn outward.
I crawl to God—
forgive me once.
I beg
for the hundredth time.

Agony owns my heart.
It’s stuck in the yesterdays
where you and I
rot.

They are placeholder men.
I wait for you.
You’re just an hour away—
why don’t we cross paths?

They are placeholder men.
You own my mind,
my yesterdays,
my tomorrows—
and my now
is you.

They are placeholder men.
I don’t want to hurt them,
but my bones are cold,
my hair is grey,
my body greedy.

They are placeholder men.
When I close my eyes,
it’s your name that appears.

It’s too late now.

Let’s call it a night.

You never stole my heart

I saw you coming

And I just knew

I was meant for you

So you couldn't have stolen

What was already yours
