Savor the taste of medicine only to be drunk by the few.
Incented by the scent of a peace that few will know, and fewer hold.

Bittersweet blossoms fold to the earth in showery haze,
He cries of days long gone. Relishing the birth of memory's daze.
Praying for the pill to find the end of his endless sound.

Astounded, he lays:
Two way mirror perception, but with no reflection.
Expectations drive the nail deeper into false perfection's mentions of a better way.

Deeper, so the bittersweet blossoms may bloom,
And pretend to be the medicine to be drunk by the few.
The few we hold will hold the peace we don't

Your northern light lures me in
it's blinding my eyes
it's so cold and so tragically beautiful
it's roaming alone on a loose highway
where no man can stay

We all see you, but not all can feel you
I am powerless and drained of self-love
but if you want to, I'll love you enough
enough for you to never feel alone
despite our distance, I'll keep you sane
and perhaps you can keep me warm

We've felt the calamity in our hearts
etching happiness away;
injecting darkness all over
but it's okay, it's all okay now
we've found each other
and we'll get through it

I do not know much, but this I know;
all this pain and suffering have not been in vain
since it led me to you, and you to me
so let's give happiness a second chance, shall we?

We played together
when I was too young to remember.
You fed and clothed me,
not that you had a choice.
You were my parents
before I knew I was missing one.
You held me when I cried
and brushed my tangled hair.

We played together,
running around outside,
eating inedible things,
dancing in the rain.

We fought each other.
I was the smallest,
but you made me feel taller.
I was the traffic cop
when I was too little to ride a bike.

We fought each other.
I cried when you played without me.
I cried when you knocked over my castles,
but you always helped me rebuild them.

We cried together.
We felt each other's pain
and spoke with silence
when words were not enough.

We fought each other.
I was too little to understand, you said.
We kicked and hit each other.
I said I'd tell. I never did.

We played together,
even when the others stopped playing.
Even when they left and didn't come back.
You made me laugh so I forgot.

We played together
until one day, we stopped.
We didn't want to play,
not even for a little while.

We still fought each other.
We ignored each other
until we got lonely
and forgot to stay mad.

We still cried together
when we could hear screaming
and yelling through the walls.

We still had each other,
until we didn't.
You didn't want to fight or cry
with me anymore.

We don't play together.
I sit alone and wonder
about the fun
you guys have together.

We don't fight each other,
but my mind is always at war.

We don't cry together.
I sit and I cry alone.
But sometimes, I remember
that we played together.

you took away all  that i had
you knocked my heart down
sharp arrow of destitution pierced through my chest
slashing my heart into two pieces of junk
which meant absolutely nothing to you
for this very end .

We are humans ! right  ?

A **** sapien to say but extremely  diversified

We are humans ! right ?

pursuing vast knowledge but  still lagging in the fight

We are humans ! right ?

no claws , no horns , no fangs but  still we bite

We are humans ! right ?

possessing more colours than a  rainbow   leaving the chameleons behind

We are humans ! right ?

a good runner in all circumstances , in fact better than animals , (fear)

W are  humans ! right ?

languages to communicate , but never ever  understood one

We are humans ! right ?

Brother in arms with Brothers in arms .

We are humans ! right ?

technically advanced ,  organically receded

We are humans ! right  ?

A **** sapien to say but extremely  diversified
Where should I build my mansion !
Got it! On the graves of trees

to pile up the whys.
The lovely highs and lows
to lighten a demise.
Strange feelings override
to pump up the best
In us.
This stroke,
this bolt,
this blast.
It's here, it's going to last.

are we lost in the curves of life
winding in, and around, and straight through
straight through the crazy reality
in and around each other
all of us, surrounded by ourselves, but not really there

And maybe is time
For me to die
Under your arm
With warmth and light

So perhaps today
Is just the time we thought we needed
To be in this place
or time of our dreams
But we are
We are

What is there to say?
we are
We are
We are!
We are!!
We are!!!
WE ARE!
WE ARE!!
WE ARE!!!
we are...

Its past midnight here
Don't know what it is there
All I know is that you're probably up
With a cup of coffee on your desk
While you flip through the same pages I passed through, with you reading arithmetics just like a novel while I gnash while solving mine

Guess who I thought of today
During our unprecedented girls night out
.........You
Its been long I did though
Times I'm on my Instagram and some emotional post defines you broadly
I smile, wishing we still talk

Wishing we still spend time on our late night video calls,, voice calls,,,chatting,,,, smiling,,,, caring,,,,,probably loving too
Or was it just me making love up

I could have swore you loved me
Now you've left me, not so sure
You were dug up tonight
A short love story I'd never want to happen
No,
Not anymore
Twas too hurtful

Lasted barely weeks
Yet love felt forever
Oh well, we could have been a thing,
But then you said
"I love you a little bit more than I should"
Uhnn
I smiled,
You know,
The sad smile that pops up when you are certain that this can't work
No matter how hard you try
Or pray
Or cry
It just WON'T
Yeah, I had it on and all I could say?
I can't remember

You probably go months without having the slightest thought of me
I maybe go weeks without thinking of you,
And when I do?
My ***** start raining,
Cloudy
So stay safe TREASURED,
By now you should be chatting with some girl
Spilling the same, sweet words you (once) told me,
Leaving your coffee cold
