I'm cursed with a terrible mindset
I forget all the good of this world
There's evil afoot, and I know of such
but of love am I rarely reminded.

I long for the abstracted season,
when the world's undone at the seams.
When wild gods come knocking, the cradle stops rocking
and insolence bows down to reason.

I yearn for the coming of laughter.
For the chill wind to tell me the tune.
The song still resounding thereafter,
as we walk past the relics and runes.

I'd show you the gift of the rainstorm.
But few would sit and see.
The Otherland is all around.
But no one's got the key.

A muse to darkness, candle that frays,
the bud of the rose plant
sullies the brave.

A kiss under veil, decorum deceit,
the seed has been planted
and curdles beneath.

Like vines they entangle
the voice of the saint
thy soul they shall strangle
and crush, a
restraint,
chokes
the wind
of

breath comes back for a moment,
the wind howls wild for it has been defiled,
the fiend persists with ashen words
but howls protect from unholy verse.

Your wildest dream, hearts desire.
these things you've seen inside my fire.

You walked away and yet
she stands before you
her words still trickle in,
and then they floor you.

Hug me tight until
I can smell you,
Comforting as blissful blue,
Days have passed; you’ve no clue,
How much I longed for you.

The warmth of your
arms wrapped around me,
Those hazelnut eyes -
I could only see,
Soft hands intertwined
with mine,
I wouldn’t trade for
billions of dime.

Someday someone will see the play of my life; my curse,
And she’ll find you, you - my favourite verse.
She’ll know how our eyes met and hear our voices dance,
But she'll never know what I felt, when I took the chance.
The gods smiled and quipped “Love is truly blind”,
“We live on borrowed time, love, and I don’t mind”.
What happened she’ll ask, just hold his hand,
But how could I ever tell her, she’ll never understand.

It wasn't just an epiphany, no, I knew it from the moment we met,
In the glances that lasted just a second less.
Over and over I asked myself, “Why must you stay then?”,
But heaven knew I didn't want to put down our pen.
I could still see us, somewhere in the bittersweet haze,
But your “I love you”s always meant that I was just a phase.
I didn't jump and rejoice “The stars have aligned”,
“We live on borrowed time, love, but I don't mind”.

You told me you loved me straight from the heart,
But your words and your heart were always miles apart.
I told myself “That’s it. It's over. You’ve had your time.”,
Maybe some loves aren't meant to be divine.
I knew we were no longer my beloved rhyme,
The show’s over, darling, we’re out of time.
When I look back, I doubt I’ll ever hit  rewind.
“We lived on borrowed time, love, but I didn't mind”.

With in my heart lays a book

A book of our unfinished story

Our love story written within the stars

But the winds never came to turn our pages

We hid our love for others

Never allowed ourselves our desires

Only to lose you to another

Unconnected bridge of unspoken words

The author never wrote our ending

I will not let go of our unfinished love story

So wait for me in our next life

We will write our love story amongst the stars

As we turn our pages

Losing ourselves in our love and passion

Connecting our souls as destined

Our unfinished love story has an ending

Amy was a prim and proper girl
And her first arrival to campus was such a whirl
Her roommate, Drusilla, was a weird girl who acted all crazy and tough
She would go crazy if you even looked at her stuff
Unfortunately for Amy, Drusilla also liked to have *** that was really rough
She would hook up with different shady guys, loudly moaning and screaming
One day Amy accidently turned on the light, which left Drusilla steaming
Six days later Drusilla was still really mad
So Amy would stay till late at the library with her study partner Chad
Usually Drusilla would be finished by the time Amy went back to the room
But tonight Drusilla was still at it, yelling like a maniac, so with a sense of annoyance & doom
Amy walked in, there was wrestling, the bed banged on the wall, but Amy didn’t turn on the light
She got into bed, put on earphones and listened to music all night
When she woke up the next day, it was to a gruesome sight
There was blood everywhere and Drusilla’s throat was cut, she was obviously dead
The scary part is the message on the wall written in blood, it filled Amy with dread
‘Aren’t you glad you didn’t turn on the light’ it read!

My personal orator,
tell me a story with profound meaning.
Spin the tale of the abrasive man
who grew from a silent boy.
Feed me you unmistaken eloquence.
Let me drink in your vocal opulence.
In Japan there was a girl named Hanna Mori
And this is her legend, her story
It was said that Hanna was the beauty of Japan
When a rich & well respected gentleman came for her hand
She was given in marriage though she was a young age
But Hanna has always felt like a pretty bird in a cage
Her husband was a samurai
He was emotionless guy
He wouldn’t even say or give her a kiss goodbye
Since he worked all day and sometimes all night
Hanna would sit in the balcony to bathe in the moons light
As the stars twinkled so bright
She wondered if she will ever be happy
Then chided herself for being sappy
A few months passed, the routine the same
Then one day, the new neighbours came
Introducing themselves & son, as soon as their eyes met, Hanna was aflame
This brought her great shame
Even though the boy was 17, only 4 years younger than her
She could not give in to the lust, though her heart did stir
When one day she received a love letter
Saying she deserved better
Foolishly she replied & it sparked the secret affair
At first she did resist
But could not do so after they first kissed
He would come over in the guise of working in the garden
Hanna knew if her husband found out, there will be no pardon
The punishment would be swift
But she thought it would be worth it for love is a gift
Then the day came, her husband came home due to a cancelled flight
And came home to the sight
Of his wife preparing herself for her lover
Hanna dove for cover
But after he bullied her into a confession, he dragged her naked to the neighbours house
There the lover was as quiet as a mouse
The parents brought him out & he said she forced him to do it
Hanna was crushed, it was a hard hit
As he went on about her being a ****** predator
This, from the boy she loved and couldn’t help but adore
Her husband dragged her back home & threw her on the bed
“You will pay for this, not now but for all eternity!” he said
But Hanna didn’t care
She is punished already with a broken heart she cannot bear
Her husband grabbed his samurai sword
Put it in her mouth & claimed it was her punishment & reward
He sliced her mouth open, on both sides, all the way up to her ears
He declared that she will forever be the thing that everyone fears
That she will forever in the shadow roam
Never finding her lover, peace or home
But lurk in the shadows for all of time
That is her punishment for her shameful crime
With no help she bled and died
And her husband later committed suicide
The legend goes that in shadows she must hide
She wears a surgical mask & approaches a lone stranger
The victim is drawn in by her beauty, unaware of danger
She asks “Am I pretty?”  And once they replied in a positive way
She takes off her mask, exposing her wounds & asked the same question of her prey
Anyone who no longer found her pretty, she will slay
So if a person approaches you with a mask, beware of what you say!

I love my parents, but they’re out of it.
For high school graduation, they gave me a gift.
A genie, three wishes, you get the gist.
A big responsibility for an eighteen-year-old kid.
What should I wish for? Well, I don’t know!
Beginning of summer, maybe I’ll wish for snow?
First semester of college, but I don’t wanna go.
Maybe I’ll wish to already know.
Know English, Spanish, math, science, and more,
But I’d rather know what’s on the ocean floor.
Why not cure cancer? Because it seems like a chore.
No, what I really want is the one I adore!
Genie, I wish for my perfect girl.
The most beautiful one in the whole world.
Give me a stunner, one that I can twirl.
Genie said wait, don’t give that a whirl.
I am all powerful, all knowing too.
So I know a secret, one about you.
Now don’t deny it, for you know it’s true.
You don’t like girls, or “doing the do”.
You, kid, are gay. Trust me, I’m the genie.
So don’t ask for a taco when you really want ******.
