Knowledge has grown with time
from our origin
and through evolution of nature
we have taken this information
and carry on
by generation to generation
with our gene
feelings are pinning you,
every second
every minute and every day,
gathered like clouds,
that has grown as rain in the horizon

Your brain has taken
millions of feelings,
making your mind,
taken those feelings,
bound all together magnetically

We discovered love, hate
pain, tears, laugh
even our words
all have made with emotion
accumulate of emotions are feelings
and millions of feelings make a mind
where there we make our love
where there we make our song
and there we make our life

But not all the seasons are same
the spring, rain and the winter
change over and being--
as we see through our life
neither always so rhythmic
nor always so romantic
neither too harmonic
nor too motioning
but all the time we carry emotions
that hurts our growing mind
changes its physical structure
and makes a new shape
as the ocean moves through the continents
and change its structure continuously--

We see tears flowing from her eyes,
you say pain,
that can also moves through vein
as the river runs through the vale
as like as water coming from a waterfall
moving like a stream
it has tasted salty,
those tears are to be torn
and turned to be stone
that has to be made the crystals,
crystalline through land and sea--

If those tears move too long and mad
it has formed layer
and has settled layer by layer
over an ocean bed
as the ripple marked,
silted and compact through time
grown as a dark shale,
black and compact
finally,we see our feelings has turned to the matter

I am like a butterfly.
When compared to the world I am so small,
yet I carry with me history and with that I become beautiful.
My experiences and memories color in my wings.
With these vibrant colors I am able show people the real me.
But is that a good thing?
Yes, because I open myself up to people; the way a butterfly does it wings.
And no, because in between these colors is black…
Representing my pain.
Showing all my vulnerabilities to the world.
However, without this pain then how would I have wings?
Why should I be afraid to show who I am?
I need to have the courage of a butterfly.
Spread my wings with confidence and acceptance for the person I am today.
Show that I am who I am because of the blackness between the vibrancy.
There is a reason for everything I’ve been through.
Pain is not always a sign of weakness, but a sign of progress and growth.
I am becoming stronger, I am building my wings.
I am my own imperfect masterpiece.

Today I continue to color in my life, so that one-day I can open up my wings to everyone and fly away.
Prove that life can get hard but in the end when it’s time to fly,
that pain no longer matters.
All there will be is an imperfect masterpiece.
A life…. Filled with people, memories, pain, laughter, and love.
In the end,
there will be a butterfly.

Darkness calls on us like the Siren's Song,
with the optimism of Candide, we charge on
because we know "things are exactly how they should be,"
But we're ignoring the fact that we cannot see!
We cannot be free!
No wonder Yossarian went so **** crazy,
trapped with no way out...
Like the old woman protecting her individuality in her burning house.
In this day and age,
Individuality burns out faster than paper in flames.
As fragile as Hamlet's mental state,
****, it's gone.
We're left as scared and self-conscious as J. Alfred Prufrock.
Questioning ourselves,
We don't dare disturb the universe.
Forced back by scrutinizing hands
through the shrunken entrances of our comfort zones,
Left torn and scarred
because they don't accept who we are.
I walk the halls with Rosencrantz and Guildenstern,
Watch identity evaporate without concern.
Ignorant voices, the poison dripping into my ears.
I walk the halls a ghost.
They think I'm weird,
Maybe a few screws loose,
but I'll tell you what...
"Crazy" Orr is the one who escaped Catch-22.
Though I fear there is not an Odysseus within all of us,
I fear we are not prepared.
For when Darkness calls on us like the Siren's Song,
temptation is seldom overcome.

This began as one thing, and  unintentionally turned into a mash-up full of references from the main poems, books, and other excerpts we read in my AP English lit class this past year. It's references are to the following: Siren Song by Margaret Atwood, The Odyssey, Candide, Catch-22, Farenheit 451, Hamlet/Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead, The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock, and The Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka. It ended up being one of the funnest and
most challengeing pieces I've written.
So many ways I think thee
my thousand stir of dreams have broken
as the drifted clouds
as the ripples of ocean
petals of the roses have grown wither
my moon's eyes have covered with shadow
sometimes her pale black mystic
face has made an illusion,
as the chaos has risen within the bean
I have alienated through time,
isolated from you,
my love,
It has grown again as stratified
rock beneath the ocean
layer by layer in course of time
where the footprint
of ripples marked as the sign of life
It has metamorphosed
and seemed compact
with a few traces of tears,
on the dark stone
where till it's a little bit alive -

@ Musfiq us shaleheen
metamorphosis is the process where the strata or rock bed marked the time and we can see the ultimate process of changes, here the process of life with love metamorphosed with time and we find the little ripples formed within the rock formation beneath the ocean when it has stratified where tears have traced distinctly.
They come and go
Everything,
As if without any changes
but your hairs are falling
and growing gray
Still the earth is running
within the decays of time
As the rolling stone
is moving through the stream -

@ Musfiq us shaleheen
When return to your known places, it seems some time evergreen but time decays the rolling stone and then vanished.......

You were supposed to give of yourself--
Your angel dust was dragon fire;
*The spark to her funeral pyre.
Three lines for betrayal...

It was pushing on evening, a hot day in June
you excused yourself and went to your room
you left the door open, I know that you knew
you were getting changed and I was watching you

You stepped out of your room, your private cocoon
in front of me I saw beauty in bloom
you stopped in the doorway with your favorite dress on
and all I could think of was how to get it of

The light from the sun, was feeding the moon
you took the lead and led me into your cocoon
If just for a moment, I was beautiful too
you were experiencing me, discovering you

Everybody died today,
metamorphosis - never completed.
Maturity entrapped the folks,
even the children, teeny, tiny babes,
The stars never danced in their eyes;
the sky wouldn't allow Starry Nights.
I only ever told stories, those Wisdoms
passed on from my grandpap,
dissed in the corners of the streets,
I look up for my internal stars
and wish these people would combust
and finally clear the air
so my grandpap could breathe.

he only wanted to be heard

Metamorphosis
I feel a churning within
This change is coming...

I sighed.
I only wanted to sit down and resign myself to never thinking twice about you again,
You've buried yourself in my rib cage, rooted yourself in the compacted red clay surrounding my bicuspid valve.
(People like you  always need a challenge, digging around with blemished, infectious hands)

You brought back weathered leather filled with emotions ancient playwrights would be horrified by
Especially alone, in the dark
Making trip after trip, til there were trenches through my soft tissue, (preparing  for a stand off; prepping for a war)

Do you know what you're capable of?
How the only moments of silence I have are standing in the hot steam of a barely resolved shower, patting my face dry while exhaling the parts of me that crave your tongue?

How thoughts of you are treacherous mountain hikes into a no man's land?

How your name on my lips is a torrential downpour of what ifs.

Cigarette stoops used to be my safe haven,
now they are shoddy trips through chicken-wire memories,
that claw through my skin and seep gray flesh through exposed punctures.
(In the mirror, my scars talk to one another, gossiping about your bad boy image)

People ask "who is this"- "I need to know what this is about"
but I have no room for apologies about the things that I will never know
I never knew you.

**Only the mysterious road maps you left on my body while heading South for the winter.
