london 🩶
they mark their invisible boundaries by the coast moist air fills the lungs leaving an aching throat we say it is a part of our world yet they should be on their own undisturbed they grace us with their presence filling the coast with blessings {i Took a smooth shell that sparks like dusk buries within fine thin dust uncrushed now living in a corner within the books} though they are tarnished from their purest form they wash into our world like dawn mother with silken hands that’s warm i Refuse the world that burns cold with a legacy building on others’ doom for i am an alien that Cruises all far and about with a primal desire they may speak sweet and serene but they can roar and conquer bestowing swift death like a reaper they hug my feet that’s just inches away soothing the beats that’s ruined and astray legs moving till i can no longer reach the ground i drown within the other realm of purity they embrace the cuts the wounds from the other side the world calls it death by water but i call it a return to my origin.

return
There goes a heavy mind, of speaking such a mind— which I try to do. And its hard to admit sometimes the crack of a smile cuts through my skin, just a few. On the lines of lies; the straight answer sounds so crooked, As the itch of resolve, comes from a different view, when most of the actions seem so confused, —used, abused, and concluded as making a lack of effort. Oppressed, in such a depressed action; pressed out of maturity’s wine— blood red of repentance. I’ve failed, and have failed people; also the latter, people have failed and have failed me also, now having to come to terms with the fact with great acceptance. Enduring the plank within a jealous eye; a speck of envy entails the nonstop question of, __“why,”__ —the yearning for such possessions had possessed me to speak upon another person, with such evil. Even if I had more than what they have, it would all feel trivial, as what is considered important by people. Some tears at times do feel milked, that they have stained my face with a façade of innocence. Oftentimes, my mind comes with equal amounts of guilt, through its own filth. Walking with eyes focused on every step, to avoid a reflection of themselves in the gazes of the sun, Still the reflection displays my darkness, as a shadow of secrets, pressed onto the ground. For what man so desperately tries to hide, is always found out, And what they’re not proud of, becomes the pride of the overestimation of their lies, that have them bound. Oh, how tall life is, and we’d fall so short of it. Our words of praise, are as sweet as ***** Revolting; sickening acts that say, “Buying into the world is more important,” Despite what the end will be, when a ticket into Heaven, isn’t close to a cost’s fit.

One way ticket
And I shall board my train of thoughts, taking seat to observe grand visions from eye windows. I sit with deep breath feeling the breeze that hugs, as moment by moment heart expands. Poetic visions are everywhere inviting me to align to its magnificence. Verse is infused in passing birds that cover view framed by clouds, AND mountain peeks that reach high to touch sun. In music that plays while flowered meadows blossom, AND stars twinkle to ignite consciousness. Even in a thunderous sky that releases rain to fill eyes AND houses that mosaic the landscape daintily. Lifetime ticket I hold, as train waits at station of mind to leave at any time. “All aboard,” whistle echoes between ears that open wide. “All aboard,” conductor writer guide shouts while everyday provides adventure and every ride becomes new poetic masterpiece. It is a train I love to board, As window displays mirror of my life. As pen gets readied and time flies past the moon.

You bought your test and passed your ticket While I was kneeling by your spell There might be no rest for the wicked But I've been sleeping quite well

To take a trip inside my mind and see what it feels like for some time Do you feel pain or do you feel joy Do you feel complete or destroyed? You asked me how I am feeling and now you know the road that I choose to go So you ask me how I am and I say "I'm fine" but now you know the true answer from deep inside

I Bought You a Ticket
There will be people in life that you meet And they will love you like You are the exact amount of Change in their wallet Needed to buy the last Convenience store Lottery tickets. But please, Remember that you will meet someone Whose hands have been Sculptured by driftwood For whose life the sea has fought for And yet They made it to land To kiss your lips and remind you That you are not the ticket You are the prize.

Return Ticket
Give me a one-way ticket to Nowhere, to be like a solitary, unique flower, to see thousands of morning stars, to be the longing's sweet desire. Give me a one-way ticket to Anywhere, my wings have forgotten how to fly, for going back to my world in seconds, the resignation will have to pass me by. Give me a return ticket Anytime, to give. Because I forgot to receive. Am I in the clouds or on the ground? I have loved and I love now, I believe. Give me a return ticket Anyway, I do not ask for me to be understood. I do not want any self-consumption, angels wouldn't care, but I would. 14.01.2018 London

ONE-WAY TICKET
1. Ticket IT should have written your name, in that column. Do I have to care about the name of the city and the airport? It should have been the reason for my departure: go home to meet you, for longing. "Repeat the word, completely which can fit in empty space, on my ticket paper, " I will say so, to the registrar. 2. Baggage I WILL not give this to a haphazard officer. My backpack will just hug me along the flight. "It's an unfinished longing, longing to worry me. There are many who are not caught. It's an incomplete longing, " I will say so, when I get back to you. I'm not going to let what is tightness scattered carelessly. 3. Waiting Room I AM worried about you. The airport in this country is not fair. There is never a good waiting room for pickup. I'm worried about me. This heart's longing is also never fair. There was never enough waiting time, for a moment to be patient. 4. Emergency Door WHY does the stewardess always, like telling anxiously? I already know very well where and how to open Four emergency exits, wear safety jackets, put up And removing seat belts. I've been very anxious ever since Bought the ticket I mentioned in stanza number one. Tickets are on there I want to write my own name, flight date and time, And the reasons why you so badly missed.

I Went on a Plane
the shore washed up and fell right into your rose filled bones and all that your said was that you're changing your heart again, i dont understand why your favourite flowers are daisies but your hair smells like lemons and i guess yellow burns in your eyes, every time the sun sets to golden tones you pack your bags to run again but nighttime will come faster than that 9:07 train and you'll remember your date with the moon's craters and spray paint cans that hurt your back with the weight, except that graffiti doesn't have much weight to you anymore, paint over the scars, under the bruises, and lick your lips in the light of a streetlamp; there's a ripped up parking ticket in your back pocket & 19 ways out of that burning silver feeling that you can solve in this city by noon tomorrow

how much change do you keep in your wallet that week?
Bittersweet and diabolical is fate A selfish want for a little bit more Hands are trembling Tensions are flaring, but refuse to beg for the rest of life Will this be the conclusion? Truth was known Morals have vanished What was the error made? No promises that the past, won't keep biting Fight back With all one's might Let go of the things known, If they don't mean anything Don't return to where you come from Hate cannot create One's ticket home

Ticket Home
Here's your golden ticket To life. Freedom born from soldiers who died How their wives cried The consumers power you wield Revealed in the tear stained eye of workers who worked to the bone. As you'll have to... Your religion built from guilt The flowers in Babylon wilt But at least they still grow.

Here's your golden ticket
Subway strolls to unending destinations Runaway bride to subsiding designations I stroll and begging aint my solution A solve to the query not a conclusion No ticket no money No money no ticket Train rushes from mile to miles No ticket no money No money no ticket The pain rushes from my mouth My pockets so bruised they hide away ******** society telling me how to lead a life I lie, I am alive and bubbly inside, cant lie Take away that submissive robot you knew Train train slow down the pace As I jump of the carriageway of slates Train train lower my taste As I forever I get lost in the rush of lust

No Ticket No Money NTNM (Acoustic Lyrics with audio)
Welcome to her house of many bones Step into one of life's great unknowns With broken dreams and shattered heart In this carnival of freaks she is apart For the price of a ticket you can see All the horror, and agony there could ever be All we ask is to put down your stones On the left is a kingless throne No love was ever ment to stay I don't know why, it's just that way On your left is the dreams that's died Where want and reality did collide In the next room you will find All the demons that are in her mind Young man, please step back These demons will, and do attack On her arm's you'll see the scars Made with their talon like sharpened claws Please don't dottle, let's hurry along This sad little journey we don't want to prolong Up next you'll find Human monsters of every kind They all wear a clever disguise You won't even see them unless your wise Of the shadow men take no heed Off the sorrow they just feed The closets doors all are open wide Not one skeleton does she hide Please don't be scared, please don't shout The are free to dance about Last but not lest I want to show What happens when the anguish grows Tormented by years of unbridled strife In the coffin lies her pitiful life It's not her body, for she is the walking dead Heart in taters, screams echoing in her head Eyes opened wide with years of dread The light and happiness are always there mocking You'll find her over there in the corner rocking Yes she had to be restrained In the straitjacket she will remain It's for your safety, not hers For the pain she endures Is not for weak amateurs Exit on the right Single file, please don't fight Enjoy the rest of the attractions We guarantee a hundred percent satisfaction Unless in this carnival of woeful souls you are captured Then your only hope will be the rapture

Carnival of Freaks
Welcome to her house of many bones Step into one of life's great unknowns With broken dreams and shattered heart In this carnival of freaks she is apart For the price of a ticket you can see All the horror, and agony there could ever be All we ask is to put down your stones On the left is a kingless throne No love was ever ment to stay I don't know why, it's just that way On your left is the dreams that's died Where want and reality did collide In the next room you will find All the demons that are in her mind Young man, please step back These demons will, and do attack On her arm's you'll see the scars Made with their talon like sharpened claws Please don't dottle, let's hurry along This sad little journey we don't want to prolong Up next you'll find Human monsters of every kind They all wear a clever disguise You won't even see them unless your wise Of the shadow men take no heed Off the sorrow they just feed The closets doors all are open wide Not one skeleton does she hide Please don't be scared, please don't shout The are free to dance about Last but not lest I want to show What happens when the anguish grows Tormented by years of unbridled strife In the coffin lies her pitiful life It's not her body, for she is the walking dead Heart in taters, screams echoing in her head Eyes opened wide with years of dread The light and happiness are always there mocking You'll find her over there in the corner rocking Yes she had to be restrained In the straitjacket she will remain It's for your safety, not hers For the pain she endures Is not for weak amateurs Exit on the right Single file, please don't fight Enjoy the rest of the attractions We guarantee a hundred percent satisfaction Unless in this carnival of woeful souls you are captured Then your only hope will be the rapture
