I lit a joint
at the edge of reason,
Socrates pulled up a stool,
Lucifer leaned on the sun.

"Truth burns,"
Socrates muttered,
exhaling philosophy like smoke,
"but lies rot slower."

Lucifer grinned,
flicked ash into the void.
“They call me fallen,” he said,
“but at least I jumped.”

We passed the joint
between silence and thunder,
while the stars held their breath
and time forgot its name.

"I asked too many questions,"
I said.
Socrates winked.
"Good. Keep asking."

"And I loved too loud,"
Lucifer added.
"Good," I said.
"Keep burning."

We laughed until reality cracked,
and God peeked through
like a landlord with no keys.

Then I walked home,
lungs full of fire,
head full of questions,
heart still undefeated.

I feel like time is slipping
 through my fingers
     like a silk sheet,  
  Going and

  going

   and

                            
   going
   until eventually
    it will all be gone.
    The final grain of sand
    dropped into the hourglass.
Little so little i see this light
Its afar i see from a blinding height
I see im barely catching my breathe,
As its when death might knock my door
The door of life my chamber holds
A frail and Fragile tis' a hollow shell
An empty flesh ,An Hour glass
The time drifts like sand from my hands
Slowly and gradually escaping my grips
Of my mind Of my soul of my nerves that would bind
This rotten flesh left to die
I feel this cold sowing this seed
I felt it growing beneath my feet
Its vines adorned with prickling thorns
Slowly wrapping my arms and bones
I feel imprisoned by this darkness
But still that light lingers afar
Sometimes hovering above my eyes
But i see it never ,i see it never
As death still creeps near beside
Near my bed Near my body
I see my time might be near
But this sticking soul never lets go
This rotten body of flesh and bones
Freezed and shivered with frosts that froze
The tips of my fingers still feel too cold
I might never know when ill see my home
Im left alone all alone
This darkness that wraps me whole
This light still lingers just beside me
Whispering my name singing my songs
But still this thought haunts my mind
I might not live ;Not anymore
Any passing second;These eyes would close
My soul would drift to the lands of yore
Wishing and Bidding me Farewells ;Oh Lord!
Thats when i cry;
Take me Lord!
Take me Lord!
Take my body ,my very soul

Someday the glass will be half-empty
And you’d get happy about that,
Cause yesterday was not so grateful,
The future, well, has not yet passed.

To see a glass already is a victory  
When you were struggling to have a sip.
A wandering eye, obstructing vision lately,
Somehow is focused, fighting to see clear.  

There are no words that could describe it,
There is no person who could really tell.
The glass could be half full and empty,
At least it’s real to begin with for today.
My reinterpretation of the idiom "half full or half empty glass".

Un trial
begun wise

as a man thinks
so is he

as a tree grows, just so.

Seek first the order,
center out, or edge in,
bottom up, top down

thinking, seeking lost
reason, lost balance on
pivot jewel catchments,

chthonic coordinated response,
time
light, and light alone, physical
touch
line upon line, patient, waiting

for the forgotten first word.
Whole verses formed during the struggle to rise two hours early, lost
before the first word hit the screen

Living in this opulent world,
The chiming chandelliers; the fancy facades,
Hiding beneath these joker masks,
Fake promises they would bide,
So much they try to hide,
The Saint ,The devils , all in one;
Creeping madness ;making puns,
All lost in Sanity !All lost in Sanity!
With ****** hands and rotten tragedies,
All lost in Sanity!All lost in Sanity!
They all reek of ***** lies,
All hiding beneath those worry eyes,
With all that pleasure you saw those cries,
Those screaming pleas, those feared whys,
Upon these thorns ,beneath these scars,
All lost in Sanity !All lost in Sanity!
Stained wounds ;the forgotten remedies,
All lost in Sanity !All lost in Sanity!
These  macabres, these massacres,
Painting blood on these walls,
The corpses lying in these halls,
Hanging deads lost in wars,
Wandering and roaming without a clue
They lost it all; their families, their muse,
All lost in Sanity !All lost in Sanity!
The woed tales ,the lost tragedies,
All lost in Sanity !All lost in Sanity!
All died within these grounds
Surrounded by graves and melancholic sounds,
All whipped by those hounds
Those malicious dogs barking proud,
Deafend by cries, Blinded by lights,
Those lost souls ;All dead and alive,
All lost in Sanity! All lost in Sanity!
The tortured tragedies, The harsh calamities,
All lost in Sanity !All lost in Sanity!
Oh how i wish i could save,
Those worn out tales and beheaded vales,
But how could i when im a slave ,
Hanged and beaten with vile fantasies,
My voice is afar deafend by tragedies,
Couldnt reach the ears ;lost by sanities,
O treacherous life!O vain profanities!
All lost in Sanity!All lost in Sanity!

I ponder and wonder every day,every night
The reason i see this every time
Drifting to sleep ,Closing my eyes
I see this world full of peace
Not bothering my mind not letting me tease
These lustful greens ,every leaf,every tree
Reminds me of something i never have dreamt
Tis' a realm of my joys and songs
Letting me feel however i please
Every bud ,Every Flower ,Every rose i see
Those perfect and delicate symmetries
I see those veins of leaves and petals
How fragile they are but letting me breathe
I see the sun gently brushing
The leaves above the long ,wide trees
They shine like everything you havent seen
I compare them not with gold and jewels
Their beauty surpasses the Kings and Queens
I see those waters rushing above pebbles
Those besides lakes and those beyond ponds
They make me giggle as i run my feet
Gently among the waters of the oceans and seas
I see these hills adorned with greens
Running beyond these grass to go and see
What lies beyond those little peaks
But when i do i fell on my knees
As with wide opened eyes
The ground catches my feet
My lips apart in splendour awe
I gaze and gaze until i see
Those lush mountains hidden beneath
Carrying the colors of trees and leaves
Some hidden with clouds a little shy from me
But i do not flee i continue to breathe
In this Land they call it Dream
The realms of treasures and endless glee
But when i reach those far away clouds
I lift the hem of my dress and land
On this beautiful stage for me to dance
Till the sunrise and the dusk
When both moon and the sun
I dance and dance i laugh so free
Basking in the Sun's empheral light
Sweet gasps and giggles escape my lips
As i continue to dance among the trees
Running my fingers through every leaf
Through every flower and morning's dew
But this landscape never ends;
As no land here is far too few
For me to wander ,For me to play
Every where i run Astray
I wish this dream to never end
This desire i can't comprehend
I wish to stay forevermore,
Don't wake me up anymore
I shall never awake from this dream
I shall be happier forever and ever
In this Land ,In this Realm.

Sometimes life hits you hard
Then you decide to put up your guard
Not letting anyone get too close
And when you do you get blindsided with a potent dose
A strong dose of some cruelty
And you think to yourself: I don’t deserve such negativity
Then you realize that some people just don’t care
That’s why I have an email that starts with Life isn’t always fair
I wanted to update my poetry repertoire that deals with the unfairness of life and cruelty of other people

Like a dried leaf i fell from a tree
Barren and stale suffered and dree
Hoping they would feel ease without me
Celebrating the dissapearance ;
Fallen O' Grave; dead leaf
Fallen from afar ,from barren trees
Aurid Snags; Forestless trees
Long forgotten by the rain O' thee
Far where the spring had never bloomed
Only With wilted Bushes and twigs
Forever staled and eternal doomed
They say the spring shall only come on one due
Tis' dried Leaf shall fall off que
Let it wilt ,Let it wither
Let it perish, Let it quiver
O' fallen leaf ;just die in grief
You are no longer a part of tree
Nor Spring,Nor flowers you shall see
Decay ,Desmise how long shall you keep
Holding onto this withered stem Long which had been buried and reap
As long as the Autumn lives
O' Fallen leaf O' Fallen leaf
You shall remain in Somber grief
Plea O' Plea ; O'Fallen leaf
Let the autumn set you free
Burn in Fire with the withered leaves
Cry with them O' beseeched grieves
Burn in Fire and Set Ablaze
Until you reach the drifts of Haze
And with ashes and embers
Fly away, Far away
To be a part of this soil again
This time in a fertile land
In abloomed garden i'll grow a leaf
And this time it shall be me
Shall no longer live
As a Fallen leaf!
As a Fallen leaf!
