Like night is from day
The moon from the sun
Like oil and water that refuses to blend
Love versus Hate
So is the great divide
From the presence of light
To the absence thereof
A rift throughout the world
It surely can be felt
So is the great divide
Like a robust ocean torn in two
Cross currents can destroy
Like war differs from peace
A knife could cut or ****
So is the great divide

The

Hands of  Time

Won't stop for gold

But knows to slow when

longing ebbs and flows


The

Hands of Time

are a rare rare find

But it can blind in

the coin of life


The

Hands of Time

Won't stop, we go

The seasons flow

Dream and destiny bestowed




How I long to hold and stroke the hands of time
Hands of time...
It's all about do and die, life is anyway
So many dreams so little time

Be back soon

it's a loaded term.
branded and historically stern.
While the shadow still remains
after the setting sun --
your pain will remain.

This is the ORIGIN of shame.

Have you not learned?
how They play game?
paint us out to be insane.

I wasn't given a choice.
I was given a name.



-- that i haven't changed.
Origin
How hard would it be
to be made of flesh and be mortal,
to dream of all the tastes,
and go wet uncontrollably.

To lick your mirror image
in her mouth slowly,
and be satisfied in sometime,
but still, lack a dearth of reason,

to entwine
into a thousand unseen motions,
to caress the nothingness in air
and become understood in front
of all the living.

to be a tongue,
and be a language
and exist
but not noticed
ever.

We were always crazy kids with crazy dreams.
And we never changed.
Crazy kids.
With their crazy ideas.
Ideas of world peace and of no hunger.
These crazy kids they say.
But I’m one of them.
A crazy kid with her own crazy ideas.
Crazy dreams.
Dreams full of nothing but the future.
Crazy girl. With your crazy thoughts.
Stop for a second.
They’ll say give up.
Don’t do it crazy kid.
Don’t ever look back.
Or down. Or away.
Crazy kid with your crazy thoughts.
What will you think of next?
I want to progress... I want to change things.

How should I handle us
              when I'm not even able
                                   to handle myself


I try to make the right decision
but I simply don't know what's right

my mind is a mess.
I don't wanna think anymore

She murdered my soul , it manifested into flowers.
cheap cologne I got for Christmas the following week.
I used to draw so many portraits of a face that'll never
have flapping lips engraving on my tomb stone for
someones amusement lying to myself like I didn't give
a **** but I did and it hard enough to let you go even
for a minute , it was written that one day i see your face
again and I won't have my soul taken from the way you
treated me the last time and left me feeling so depressed,
I had to tell myself that your a pessimist,
just a figment of my imagination,
I use to think you were a goddess but you nearly had me fooled
like,
You wanted me to be a savage but wasn't that kind of dude like.

Two times , the surprise in your eyes,
there's a world for each pupil.

Stars will align , within a weeks time,
I swear that everything is neutral.

Head , first
in , to,
life,
itself,
life itself , life itself,
stop running home,
you don't need your wealth,
need your wealth , need your wealth,
cause all the people , the people,
they just wanna be notice in this time of agony,
yeah the people , the people,
they don't want all your city folk or your pity...

Most people , don't like strings that attach,
but like who needs time for love.

but most sheeple, don't like seeing the real,
to find out what lies above.

Head , first
in , to,
life,
itself,
life itself , life itself,
stop running home,
you don't need your wealth,
need your wealth , need your wealth,
cause all the people , the people,
they just wanna be notice in this time of agony,
yeah the people , the people,
they don't want all your city folk or your pity.

Use words
As your swords
To cut any border
Of any many
Use words to give birth
To everything worth
Speak words out
An action no doubt
It begins with
a melodious blur
as a taste of forgetfulness slithers
over my humble skin.

A yearning evolves slowly,
to disappear away
from this meaningless pursuit of flesh,
we are trapped by our existence
and nothing else.

I trespass within myself,
in search of a purpose,
in the hidden sanctums of my delusion,
where blues waves greet my feet,
and the sky made of ice
howls with terrible winds, at my timidity.

It never rains,
But I always forget to stride aimlessly,
these hungry eyes are served
with sumptuous visions,
and till my hands bleed
this hallucination copulates
with my reality.
I finally learn to float
within myself.

I pen all of it down,
in the night
and call them as Art
in the morning.
