Pruned
All those designer clothes and bejeweled accessories
Aren't going to hide the black heart you carry*
INSIDE
You may be surrounded by wealth but wouldn't you rather have a friend more loving than gold?

Life
Perhaps life is like a fairytale

In order to get your ultimate happily ever after

You must suffer a thorny path of trials and tribulations

Like cinderellas cruel enslavement  before her prince

And Aladins miserable poverty before his golden lamp and genie

Yet once proven sincerely worthy of a happily ever after

May one reap the harvested glorious joy of a blissful eternal life.
One can only wish

Shooting stars
I see in a midnight blue sky
A dot of silver dancing
Across my vision
And I smile, eyes closed
Making wishes

For a peaceful world
Where no man needs to fear being attacked
For a kind world
Where beggars don't need worry for their next meal
For a safer world
Where children can be free and get to live another day
For an unselfish world
Where people put others over themselves
For an unprejudiced world
Where men are based purely on their character rather than racial or religious status
And above all; For a loving world
Where man sets aside his weapons and truly loves his enemy

Yet as I open my eyes
And gaze intensely
At the ball of gas
Fueling my desire.

My spirit plummets
Down crested to realize
There never was a star
For me to wish upon
Rather a metallic airplane
That rapidly leaves my vision.

And it has taken with it
My childish dreams and hopes
Of a beautiful world I could have shared with you
Can we pretend that airplanes in the night sky are like shooting stars because we could all use a wish right now......

Words to a tormentor
She thanks him for the scars she got
As they helped her become numb
She thanks him for the tears she wept
As they helped her become strong
She thanks him for her crushed hopes
As they helped her to grow up
She thanks him for the words he threw
As they helped her build her walls
She thanks him for the worst years of her life
As they helped her appreciate the years later

Yet she curses him for all the innocence he tarnished
As she now sees the world and its reality.
Time can heal wounds but can't make you forget them

Arranged
A stranger in my living room
      
We've never talked
              
We may not even be compatible
                    
And do we even share any interests?
                            
Well god knows seeing as we've never seen
                                      
Each other before
                                                 *
And now I'm resigned to take him as my husband
                                                          
My lover, my missing half*
                                                                  
My partner for the rest of my life
Desi life mosta the time

If one tries to shut out their emotions and problems
Are they truly shut out at all?
Think over it
All* of us have one thing in common
We all have dreams  and  desires
It's what makes us humanity
Different from other organisms; unique

Dreamers are optimists
Clinging onto their vibrant visions
Through turmoil  and  hardship
Through chaos  and  pain
Their souls are held tightly with their dreams

Our aspirations help us get through the present
Whilst Making glamorous plans for the future;
Some plan to revolutionise the world
Whilst others dream of singular success

No dream is too big or small
It all depends on the eye of the beholder
Yet one thing is no doubt crystal clear
*Any dream you work for will come true
Dream big every one of you and you'll do wonders

Pity
I feel pity for the one
Who hurts and sleeps soundly

                                                      ­            I feel pity for the one
                                                             ­     Who loves foolishly and gets broken

I feel pity for the one
Who believes himself worthless

                                                    ­              I feel pity for the one
                                                             ­     Who 'shunned' for unique ideas; gives up

I feel pity for the one
Who plays with the hearts of others

                                                         ­         I feel pity for the one
                                                             ­     Who scared of getting hurt doesn't try

I feel pity for the one
Who lives life plagued with regrets

                                                               ­         I feel pity for the one
                                                             ­           Who appreciates not what he has

I feel pity for the one
Who can't let go and move on

                                                            ­  I feel pity for the one
                                                             ­ Who can't sort out his priorities

And I feel pity for you and I
For we are all  guilty of these charges
The scars of your lies cut deep
Your mistrust confuses me
Haven't we known each other for a long while now?
My soul I laid bare for you
But yours was kept cloaked from me
You're fine, you're great you say
There's absolutely nothing wrong; you can handle it
You lie to not just me but yourself too
And the damage done is *permanent
Remember you're only human. It's okay to break down sometimes

Last piece of you
When you pour out your soul
To her gentle, comforting smile
And relax inside; relieved
To unload the heavy burden laid within
Yet an unsettling feeling
Twists your stomach; cramps?
You love how you feel so feather light

Later the laughter shrieks
And the gossip rises sky high
Over your ***** little secret
Plastered over the net
Spreading fast like wildfire;
Burning deep like lit gasoline
Uncovering your shame; naked
Until the vultures have unraveled
*Every last piece of you
Everyone has a motive and no one can be trusted

Love is....
Love is
Taking  a long refreshing lungful of air
As though for the first time
Only when with them

Love is
Placing your heart in their caging hands
Only to give  them the power to crush it

Love is
Sharing with them your sacred soul and brain
Only To have it shredded and butchered by them


Love is
Feeling them put you back together gently
With soothing words and gestures
So that they can rip you apart again sadistically

Love is
Watching them commit all these crimes*
Yet not having the will or want to stop them
It's all I have seen regarding that emotion so far
712 · Oct 2015
Blind Of Compassion
Why do we take terrible atrocities so lightly these days
Like ****, ******, suicides, prejudices, abuse and bullying
Even if they have become a norm nowadays
Especially as they have become a norm nowadays

Plastered on the news daily
Turning away blind from these sufferings
Has made the evils stronger
Which is why they have become a norm these days

How many lives can we save if we care to notice
These crimes dancing before us
WHY?!?!?!

Ordinary
It's hilariously funny to see
That being random and crazy
Has become such a norm to be
I yearn to see the ordinary folk
Being unique by being themselves
Not cheap imitations of popular 'quirks'
Never spouting stupidly bizarre phrases
And shrugging it off on their peculiar freakishness
Thinking it cool to obsess over rainbows and unicorns
When in fact its just sad to see them all become
*
The same shade duller inside; monotonous gray
Just my  opinions Im putting out here I dont wish to cause anyone offense. It's just how I see it...

Just Maybe
Maybe you need to stop sticking your nose in the air
Because without looking down
                                                           you
                                                                     may

Freedom
Maybe one day I'll be free
Free of the torment and free to be me

Maybe one day I'll be able to fly
Spread out my wings and soar up so high

Maybe one day I'll be able to speak
Speak with my voice free of the chains

Maybe one day I'll sing to the sky
The rhythm of my triumph so fine

Maybe one day I'll dance; delight
Movements so fragile; speak of my plight

Maybe one day I'll shed my sorrow
A skin so heavy its no wonder I drowned

Maybe one day I'll break out
**Free of the torment and free to be me
I wish it were so.....

If I could but give it....
If I could but give it
To the child on the street
For Food, For shelter
And shoes for his feet

If I could but give it
To the woman who cries
Who withstands the beatings
Then hides them with lies


If I could but give it to the
Man who can't see
Who relies on a dog
For guidance, for love, and the freedom to be


If I could but give it
To the girl who won't walk
Who's waiting for treatment
While the doctors just talk


If I did but give it
To those most in need
Would you help the rest?
And could we succeed?
Just some deep shower ponderings

Happiness and me
Only*  one person can bring you happiness
Not your family, friends or even your lover
That person is you and only you
And once this fact is accepted
Happiness is *right within your reach
//Inspired by Once Upon A Time//
You feel ready to do anything to fix yourself up
Dieting you tried and ******* in makes it worse

After spending hours on your hair and make up
Angling yourself best self consciously in party photos

Then crying at home when going through them
For a decent Instagram picture; nothing's good enough

It doesn't make sense because you tried right?
Yet your cheeks are balloons inflated on your face

A smile constrained, painfully stretched across your face
You've forgotten how to smile properly so became fake

You look at your beautiful friends and selfishly wish for their assets
Then sigh wistfully posting a few reasonable pictures and smile

At the heart lifting comments on your beauty that fails to be seen*
**Yet it touches you that others can somehow manage to see it in you.
Never trust your negative opinions about yourself instead believe in the beauty others see in you.

Papa
Papa just let me rest

Put my mind at ease
For the shards you use
To tear through my skin
Make me bleed

Oh it hurts so much papa

When your bullets plunder my heart
It beats feverently; an ill tuned symphony
Trying to mend itself again
A picture of flimsy patchwork

Papa clear the ground in front of me

The shards and thorns are making me weak
My feet can't take in your piercing anymore
They've gone from tan to scarlet
A fresh coat to paint over the marks I'm too ashamed to see

I beseech you one last time papa

Make the voices go away
The ones gnawing at my head
Telling me I'm not who you want me to be
Before I give myself to the demons who love me
The ones who claim to be the closest to you end up being the ones responsible for your destruction

Let Go
How can you live happily in the present?
When you're still holding onto your bitter past
The title says it all though I'm a hypocrite
538 · Aug 2015
History
History* is *such an integral subject
One if learnt from can change lives
It makes  people realise; violence isn't the answer
It makes  people think; of alternate solutions
Coming to the conclusion that
Peace, integrity and unity
Is the only way us humans can thrive.

We must learn from the past
After all mistakes are made to be a lesson
If this is done so
Many lives and livelihoods can be saved

Alas  however the irony of our past is
We must watch, agonisingly , as history
Continues to repeat itself.
Why are we too stubborn to accept and learn?

TRUST
Do you trust me?
She asks
A finger stroking your cheek
Convincing you to let go; succumb
To her honey sweet charm

But stupid you aren't
Nor misguided
With darkness swirling in her eyes
Blacker than ebony coal
Her smile sharpens
With ice

You know of her crimes
What she has done
Of the cruelty and hurt she inflicts
Upon the innocent
Yet she loves you still
There's still a chance for her in her almost shriveled heart?

No time to ponder or think
The choice is here and now
Will you save her or not?
Are you enough to make her stay?
As a ONCER I wrote this for Captain Swan after an episode on season 5 where she asked him if he trusted her.

Success/Failure
In the midst of it all
I stop, I stare
And I wonder what I'm doing in all this
The aches never cease, never stop

Them all I see writhing about me; humans
Clamber above one another
Leaving the ones they claim to love broken
In the ashen dirt

For the meagre prizes they salivate to get

They forget they can't take it with them
That their greed is for naught
As their breaths draw short, scythe draws closer
Leaving them alone in their suffocating solace.
He saw

Her wings lay torn upon the ground
Her screams muffled; cries scorching her throat
As they tore at her skin
Shattering the stars in her youthful eyes
As she watched; dulled and empty

                                                          ­       He knew

As her hand fell flat; uncurled
Her mouth, a stretched echo of her suffering
Marred colours of reds and blues charring her soul and body
With a single tear leaping from her ghosting eyes

                                                           ­                                                                    He rose

With the final gasp shifting dust above her cracked lips
The thud of her limp body thrown against rotting carcases
And the darkening sky shedding tears in anguish


He cradled her to his chest; numbing and warm
A finger pulled down the lids of her unsee in eyes
Whispering you're safe now Zainab
I've come to take you home
In memory of Zainab and others who faced the same cruel fate as her

One Cold Valentines Day
You came to me
On the 14th of February
With no chocolates
In your hands
You must have  forgot

You came to me
And held my hands
Whilst telling me that
You loved me
I was soaring into the sky

Then you said but
And I saw no roses
In your hands
Making me crash hard
to the ground; so cold
On the 14th of February

Happy Valentine's Day love
I hope  she was *worth it
A Valentine's day I'd never wish upon anyone

Galaxy Prima Donna
Make me your marionette
And string me to the stars

Take my body as yours to command
So that I can dance over the sunrise of mars

Let your baritone voice innervate my soul
Till my lips tremble; muscles restless through our meteoric wars

Alright guys school has just started for me which means I'm going to have to post any poems I write during the week at the weekends as opposed to what I did in my holidays which was roughly a poem a day.

Player girl
My parallel would not be you
Voice/soul/essence of soil
That I sink my feet into eagerly
For its coolness
Against the stones littered tarmac

A strange sight; behold!
Straying far from home ; a luxury unaffordable
Not worth the ruin, not right the game
Chance gambles a shame to the sweetness
You exhale; my heart wanes

Candy forever out of reach; my lips quiver
Succulence so overwhelming I stagger; err
Before remembering its not my place to destroy
What has yet to be tarnished by his demons

Let it slip slip away
My dreams they await
A haven to gaze and delight
Diluted goods never felt better.

Control
Wings arch free in the morning breeze
Ready to seize the day
Possibilities and moments unfold
Under my control.    

As the night draws fold.
And I ponder over my achievements;satisfied.
My wings draw in; chained to the ground.
When I realise nothing was ever under my control.

18 shootings, 46 days
They say he was deranged
The man behind the gun
As he aimed at the children
Picking them off one by one

They say he wasn't sound of mind
The man who deemed himself god
Screams falling faint to his ears
As bodies piled; a mess of red

They say he was mentally ill
The reaper who sowed the school dry
Leaving no table unturned
Basking in their final pleas; unmasked glee

They say they'll pray for the souls departed
And lock away the crazy man
Hoping the public will forget and let go
Turn a blind eye to laws unconstructed; again.
Enough is enough

A step is all it takes
To brush past the winds obstructing your path
Igniting the spark that fuels their rye and cries
Pressure holds, suffocating as tears steam past
Shaky breaths collide in grit and defiance
Aching to be set free, an ache numbed in wait

Ears turned deaf to the ever persistent screams
Eyes glazed past the blood and sweat;agony
Brain broken down in collateral to forget
Begging release, hands turned in unison to hope
For a reason, a chance, a promise
Chained to the stake; a fool's dance was all it was.
Pessimistic to the core I know

Dead weight on my chest
I don't love him anymore
The man who was my hero
He who I held above all else
Is nothing to me now

He broke me down
Made me question who I was
Shattered my sense of pride
Destroyed my sense of worth

Tears I shed over him
As nothing more than a ritual
I can't control them
Even though he is lost to me

I don't remember how it used to feel
When I cared for him as a miracle
For all I have is an ache
that never stops hurting.

Religion

A three syllable word
Consisting of 8 letters
Four vowels
And four constenants

Represents everything that wounds me
A swift jagged knife to the heart
With every twisted command
Being forced down my throat

Tears remain stagnant in my eyes
For I know, it would have been beautiful
If not for the scars embedded into my soul
From the audacious misery it's put me through

Choice
A single syllable word
Consisting of six letters
Three vowels
And three constenants

A match made in heaven
Its prayer; a constant companion to my lips
The Hope that pollutes my mind; constricts my throat
Keeping me sane within this oppressive cage
I'm held captive in
This is just my own experiences. It's a tragedy of mine to never have experienced the joys of faith through kinder eyes.

Emotions
Emotions are my prison guards
Caging me in a spiral of suffocation
Enraging me with their limitless torture
Forcing me to feel and hurt over and over

Endless it seems in its sadism
Starving me of the ability to love and care
Numbing my heart and shutting my brain
Desensitizing my soul, till I'm an empty vessel once again.
I hate my ability to feel soo much

Hatred
It seeps into my body
Icy tendrils licking at my soul
Shivering their way to my heart

-Haunted-
Ghosts flicker behind her eyelids
Like dust falling upon grass
A faint buzzing; an irritant ever persistent
In the shadowed blink of her eyes

Phantoms mist past her lips
Like Air curling in step to waltz
An echo of broken promises; reckonings foretold
In the upturned tilt of her smile

Spirits swim through her fingers
Like water sprinting rapids down mountains
A mocking tale of trickery and revenge bound
In the feverish flight of her palm.

Apparitions dance through her hair
Like fire twisting embers to the sky
A vision to escape; hope burning for freedom
In the wild tresses of her chestnut mane

— The End —
