Complexities of life can be understood but can be shown
From birth till death man remains just in the danger zone
One should not have a living heart but just heart of stone
By the end of the day destitute soul has nothing to own

Humans are in unknown, unseen chains always to suffer
On this world stage we come and go like nominated actors
Keeping in eyes life full of flowers we smilingly face altars
What we are completely borrowed souls and bodies in cover

What is life a dream in dream with all the fits of insanity
What we have been ordered we are but bound to agree
World is an ocean full of whirlwinds and to face without plea
What is fate written somewhere and what is fortune let us see

How to break these chains to come out of cruel clutches of life
We have to travel per force with bare feet on sharp blunt knife
At times we are on swing of luxuries and at times just in strife
From these unseen chains man wants to be free just like a rife

This that would greet—an hour ago—
Is quaintest Distance—now—
Had it a Guest from Paradise—
Nor glow, would it, nor bow—

Had it a notice from the Noon
Nor beam would it nor warm—
Match me the Silver Reticence—
Match me the Solid Calm—

All the full moons are buried
under the pavements ***** feet are walking on,
and all the stars above are crying
but you can't hear them, can you?

Your tears are louder than the noise of the clouds breaking above your head
and children with no mothers are smashing benches in the parks
at 11 o'clock in the night,
but we both know that at that hour it's only your loneliness you care about.

People in the streets are haunting virtual monsters using their phones
while the real ones are eating the skin off their spines.
We are talking about wars and guns and all the **** going around
We want change, but, really, how much have you changed in the last three months?

Is it just me, or the world is really ****** up?

The cigarette is burning your fingers
and your lungs can't breath
because the air around you doesn't smell like the one you love.
Drown again your brain in alcohol,
hide all the lies in your pockets
and leave your hopes under the same pillow
your head will sleep on
seeing all the nightmares eating you alive.

One more glass of wine and you'll be fine
one more tear to spill on the regrets
another day is awaiting
the sun will rise again
and in the red clouds smiling in the morning
you'll only see the moon crying from beneath your feet.

At least you're alive,
I guess that's the only thing to be happy about.

Or is it?

i have never met anyone like him before
he burns like the sun
but the moon illuminates
with his light
he is a drowning ocean
giving the shore it's bounty
he rains chaos
and yet
the flowers grow
he is the kind of heaven
that i would not
mind dying for

it's very simple really
if you fill your life
with love
and shake it gently

it then allows the
peace
to settle
