We
I realise,
that I am more than what is within my skin.
I've grown together
with many beings.
To be perceived as this life,
this consciousness.
Together we navigate
simple and complex adventures,
ultimately decomposing
to join the next adventure.

We realise,
that we are more than what is within our skin.
Tujhako bhi ijajat du
Tere dil se ijajat lu
Ki umar bhar tujhe chahu
Ki umar bhar tujhe chahu
Bhale hai
Kuch duri hai
Mera hi  to kusur hai
Ki har subah khuda se bas tujhe maangu
Ki umar bhar tujhe chahu
Nazdikiyo bhi narazgi
** gayi kuch bhul se
Jhuk ke tere samne
Ki mai tera sajda karu
Ki umar bhar tujhe chahu

I want to be
the roaring sun
an angry star
a ferocious need, to blaze a path
forward and beyond, dreams
exposed to light and heat
the days no longer
a haze in the night, misty
from a fresh downpour

But I also crave
a soothing touch, a gentle reprieve
a song quietly sung as I
rise and rise and rise
my face bright but kind
my face in yours
my face which is
yours -- like how the stars
belong to the sky
C94
Work and back about the hustle
Can't go out staying sober
Everyday is a struggle
Throwing a punch
Doesn't make it right
Talk about things like adults
Treat one another like humans
An insult and yelling
Doesn't mean your right
Everyone wants to be Unique
Why does everyone get lip for it
Respect one another's differences
Once upon a time,
There was a princess in a tower
Her only companion were the sky and clouds

In her simple room, there was a match
He saw the princess, dull and abandoned
Through summer, spring, and fall

One night he whispered notes in her ear
To light the match, and see his shine
He said," Let me accompany you, dear."

That day on, when he called upon
She would light the match
Enjoying his flickering, wild dances

Their companionship consumed her sorrow
For she had, a new sun to look upon
The flame he brought, comforted her heart

But the match had known,
That his time with the princess was cutting close
How sad he was, when roses bloomed on her cheeks

On the last day he proposed,
That she let him blanket her in a forever glow
That night her gaze lingered on his unsteady glow

Upon the navy sky, a glow could be seen
The once dreary tower became a candle
That transformed, what turned into an amber night
I’m still running on
Yesterday’s priorities;
Seeking prizes that,
If I only I took the time
To think things through,
Revaluate my situation Properly,
Don’t really matter to me anymore.

I’m still caught up in the
Want of yesterday,
Driven by desires
Well past their sell by Date.

The insignificance of Bygone yearnings
Haunt my todays
Until I exorcize them
Screaming
Into faded memory,
File them away
Marked ‘Insignificant’,
‘No longer useful’.

I don't wanna sleep tonight.

You linger on my dreams almost every night.
You smile at me and you hold me tight.
But I don't wanna sleep tonight.

I don't wanna see you in my dreams;
Don't wanna long for your touch, for your smell; for you;
I dont wanna feel happy in a dream;
And wake up tomorrow morning feeling empty
    with a slight pain in my chest knowing that
         I'm back in my ******-up-little world.
i have been having dreams of him and it's making me feel happy but sad too
One candle on my birthday cake.
The room was filled smiles and laughter.
Everything is great nothing to wish for..

Ten candles on my birthday cake.
My father wasn’t there for this one.
I wish he was around more..

18 candles on my birthday cake.
I can think for myself.
I wish my mom wasn’t so controlling..

21 candles my birthday cake.
I’ve been self medicating before I was legally able to.
I wish there was another way for me to cope with my issues..

30 candles on my birthday cake.
Celebrating this one with wife and kids.
I wish for many more..

35 candles on my birthday cake.
Divorced feeling alone.
I wish I had some company.

I think it’s time to blow the candles out.
I wish my wishes came true.
