Got no ticket, but beggars don't choose who gives a care, if it's legal, bus drivers, I knew, would never leave a man walkin' in snow. It must be people like me get old all the time, and we go musing using other people's vibes, like rich folk use their money, saying see me be me, better than you, and what can you do when you become Diogenes face to face with one got dammed right honest man standing in the noon light by the ode to Zeus written by Epimenides, quoted twice by Luke, as he was recollecting all he had heard said, during the voyages when the visions rolled out, got it plain, find that old way where good is, and walk in it, want not, fret nought woe and waiting, aim is true, wait to see, be like baby puppies, mewling kittens, too, we become vapors we mystify, by our lonesome hearing our life's top forty as far as youtube cares I hear somebody singing The Weight at least six times already this eighth of January, and the zero sum of it all seems unlikely, Luke was lost in pondering Poe's Annabel Lee… likely mocked in my opinion by the first version sung earlier this century, Annabel Lee, a meme from a man, two years away from dying, too soon, some say his true love went before him, too soon and we cannot relate to the time when such songs became the first news we had that Poe had died, but left us with the kind of angels he had in mind.

Given a shift
I tried making you happy In dawn of our romance My heart put on display As if I even stood a chance I believed a little bit of time Would soften edges to touch Make you need my presence here Our hands to desperately clutch But did not become irresistible Attraction fading from eyes Gave my best but wasn't enough To nobody's surprise Where purple and black ink dance on paper Emotions slowly spill Deepest pool of self-loathing Has almost reached maximum fill I never seem to read your mind Between lines you critically bark Wonder what mysterious force pulls near Ever-present question mark Worry you hunger for new connection Different happy ending to write Someone compatible with your character Who causes zero reason to fight Despite a multitude of issues You stay steadfast and unwary Like I have the whole world in the palm of my hands Complaining it's too heavy to carry I'd appreciate feeling welcome in your arms once more Instead a burden straining your back A soon as I start getting comfortable Remind me of traits that I lack I've already ripped self-esteem to shreds So little confidence left remaining Critique is simply the icing on top A whole cake of damage I'm sustaining I select goals I never seem to achieve Veering too far to the left or right Document every failure in detail To torment brain with late at night When attempting to meet your expectations Inevitably falter under distress Maybe that's a pathetic excuse It is truthful nonetheless T(he only way we will be together forever By trapping you within a cage Still I strive to be somebody you deserve I am just too selfish to change But I care about your well-being Kills me inside watching your happiness burn Love you enough to set you free Fully aware you will never return

Putting Away ~Haiku
I empty my cup to be fresh in mind.  New ideas here I will find  With past knowledge, my cup is full.  With such old thoughts, I may look dull.  For every new thing, I may look blind.  Empty my cup. In a beginner's mind, fresh thoughts are lined Let those line up and let those bind I'm looking for a change. I want a pull. Empty my cup.  For old school of thought, let me not be confined.  With new thoughts let me be refined.  Bring in me positive change like a bull. Let the change make me pocketful.  The theory of emptying your cup reminds  Empty my cup.

Empty my cup
and then i arose one day, to realize i'd lost myself in time perhaps i lost who i was because she's no longer here to find or not lost at all, but found a new home - of this, i'm not certain dwindling amongst the constellations comprised of all my other versions but **** i feel so free, i've found the keys to my own prison wasted time looking for a better life yet all the while i was livin' it let your soul live with intention, not in a state of suspension live your potential that brings your most enlightened peace live not to bridge the chasms in another soul's journey put forth more energy to only that which serves you untangle yourself from that which does not deserve you don't let your waiting existence be made into a sport cause one day you'll wake and there'll be nothing left to wait for

I'm thriving Growing like a **** Laughing at midnight In my room by myself Not because I'm manic But because I'm happy Happy It's been a while since I've said that

I loved you fully; I was young I wanted to be understood And in my mind you still live on You were my childhood

I own me
You ask for dreams so take my dreams These are my little fireflies in the dark Leave me in darkness by taking beams But still you can not take my love spark I love you hence I can sacrifice you like You can strike on heart way you strike On my way in my life you are turnpike For me my sweetheart is just fairy-like My sweet beloved I am fully entrapped My love is enthralled your beauty is rapt You are most suitable I am totally inapt Still being lovers we are rightly clapped Col Muhammad Khalid Khan Copyright 2016 Golden Glow

Fully Entrapped
Your eyes speak to me, they calm me in a way nothing else can. I never thought I could fall in love so much, with the way someone looked at me. But somehow I did, and I crave that feeling. The feeling of being fully, truly, and completely loved by you.

Your Eyes
Love, Rage, And all that comes within it. Hate, Happiness, Only one now burns in me. I'm empty, Yet full, Of things unwanted, Because of you. I'm tired, Exhausted, And yet my feet betray me, They run. They run, Into pain, My own destruction, A hole, Where light is non-existent.

Glass
I gave you the key to my heart Even though the door was already Open for you. I was naked and vulnerable Before your eyes And I was fully dressed. I was yours And you weren't mine. --Eleanor

Naked and Vulnerable
Sleep. Sleep child, til' the light overpowers the darkness inside, where I secretly cried. I secretly tried, but no one would guess, and I never put my cards face up. It's only ketchup. Used to patch up, the cut and scratch ups, caused by the dull of my pencil, and my soul. I fell, but I dragged myself up again, back into my daily skin, and I'm that burden. That one whose not fully there, told by everyone, "you just don't care", with a random shudder scare. The words I despise you all think, even the shrink, and it drowns me to the sink. I'm that disaster, everyone's after, maniacal laughter. "Am I losing my mind?" "Is this mind really mine?" "Would dying be fine?" I'm not so refined :) I can see the things in perfect imagery, things I don't want to see, always worried everyone hates me. I can't see, I'm not me, I'm not even a somebody. Maybe inside is some other ghost, I'm the host, at my death let's just have a toast. Til' death do we part, take it as a new start, buy the roses to my grave from walmart. I didn't think I mattered anyways, sleeping through these pass-me-by days, my mind playing simon says. I always secretly try, but I am still I, and now simon says ".....goodbye."
