Stretching my voice
Until the very corners of the town
Ring with sonority
Up from the cliff
I shout to the unspeakable

And back to me
They send their silent answers
On invisible breezes
That carry the cries of the unheard

Then from the cliff
I sing their woes
For everyone to listen to
And for the masked leaders to heed
Let us all sing together
Dancing with the flowers
Hands bending like the breeze
The music of life.
I shall go to sleep, goodnight goodnight goodnight
Hope I wake up to some news
Or I think I'd rather die.
White noise
White lies
A thin white cat
Rubbing against my thighs

Grey skys
Grey storms
The grey lane between
All that is right and wrong

Black hearts
Black eyes
A black crow
Feasts on rotting mice
A dark room
Greyish lights on a young face
From a thin box
Of addiction
Stairs to the downside

Bridging the hopes of the heart

Your old love and my soul

Pushed further apart.
Tearing out the pages
Of unwanted history
From a mahogany back
Splattered with blood
Senses numbed
Dumbing down the concerns of the hours
By bringing irrelevant history to the forefront
Days come
And days go
But the narrow gravel path
In front of my house
Remains empty
Heavy colours
Spill onto the floor
A marred rainbow
Splashed onto the door

Get out of here
Before you lose your mind
Living in a hologram
You lose your sense of time

I scraped away
At the painted ground
Broke my nails
Your blood came out

So go away
Before I paint you black
Go to your land of colours
And never come back
Tired and yet not weary
Disgusted by myself but still I keep going

Knifes are a welcome escape
But the fear of pain bites stronger

Loved many but do not remember how

I wonder
If we are all such muddled creatures

Why does it seem we are linear

From the outside?
Knew how to love
Until her heart grew tired

Knew how to dance
Until here feet became sore

Knew how to sing the night into dawn
Until she lost her voice
And then she faded away
The pristine expanse of glassy bluegreen
White foam tumbling into nothingness and resurfacing
Long shrill notes that rent the misty air
The high oceans, bedecked with flair
There a glossy fin, there a sleek twisting tail
Boundless eyes, with many a stories to hell
Drowning in freshness, in the midst of human greed
Tis the creed of the mighty ocean, from humane shackles freed
Like a belt of leather
Steel hooks sliding into the notch
Adjusting until it is just right
And then
Smack!
It is shut
How does it feel
To love oneself
Perfectly
Completely
Without any room
For dissatisfaction
When I was young
The lyrics of a song
Were what I made out of them

Didn't matter if
What I thought they meant
Weren't what they meant at all

Didn't matter if
Even I somehow felt that the song
Didn't fit in with my interpretation

Cause those songs were my own
The lyrics were mine
Or at they became so for me
If only for a little while.
Wonder why those high flown words
Of self love and acceptance
Always ends at the mirror
I wonder if it matters...
The way words look on a page
For they describe nature as poemesque
I wonder why I feel so empty...inside
Just a few hours back, I had felt otherwise
The day and the people around me felt...warm

But now
Someone seems to have taken it all away
Nothing. Nothing is left for me
I feel like a blank
That is best
Deleted.
Her house isn't somewhere I look forward to visiting
The streets are broken in places with garbage all around
It stinks, right to the almighty heavens, I think
And if it wasn't for her
I would have avoided
Going there
Altogether
But
That is where she lived
And that is why
It became my favourite place
In the entire world

In the entire world
It pains
Pains so terribly
I can't breathe
Mom's calling me...
But I don't think I can go

Please dear
This is important

Oh well
Tomorrow
I'll tell her for sure tomorrow
For this seems to be the last one.
We weren't strangers behind the screen

You were aware
Of how my hair became oily in the afternoon

And I knew
How I could play tic-tac-toe on your dry arms even in summer

But that was one year ago
One fine day we stopped talking
Don't know why....did we fight?

You were my best friend
I loved you more than any lover and yet
We don't talk anymore

And I know that I should forget and move on
That variety is the spice of life
But...
I can no longer call a person my home
Your name like an admonition
Drowning the music
Stooping me in silence
The gardenias bloom
All at once
Circling the silent pond
That sits still
Like fluid glass
Rimmed with silver
Suddenly something passes by
In the mirror of her glassy eyes
And I see myself, bare of any disguise
I see the world, it's fire and ice.

Shaken to the very core
I rush for the exit door
But find that I
Have never been let inside.

Your very own
Outcast.
Together in the shade
In the hushed fragrance of rose petals
Crushed in your mahogany hands.

The sun gets high on this wine
Of our hidden romance
Under the last lonely tree.
Singing in the spotlight
Shut in a crazy, stupid cage
Oh I'm a stupid fool
Such a crazy fool

In the highs and lows
Taking life as it goes
Stuck in a moment gone by
In an invisible high
And then I cried

Raised voices from the living room
The sound of glass breaking

I hid my face in the blankets
The tears soaked the pale green fabric
Into a grey-green expanse of misery

Afterall...
I couldn't let them catch me crying now, could I?
My left eye is burning
I'm afraid
That I've sneaked glances at the sun
For too long
I keep my eyes open
Stare at the summer sky without sunglasses

Look at the snowfall
Until the snowflakes melt into tears

I was scared
That the moment I close my eyes

I would be forgotten
Even though, it probably wouldn't have made a difference
In your advanced settings
Please enable explicit writings
Cause even non explicit poems may be hidden
I have killed your memories
But...how do I get rid of these remains?
My chest feels stuffy

Maybe it's time my heart

Gave it's job to my brain.
Was that even remotely funny?
A flashy facade
Words drive me to the steep edge
I breath a lie of relief
Such difficult morals you have
There are no loopholes
No room to breathe
Do you enjoy this?
This slow torture
Suffocating into those strange rules you make?

Maybe I AM
Just a rebellious, gusty adolescent
But
I hate crying myself to sleep every night
I hate hiding my face every morning when you leave for work
Just so you don't have to see
My ugly swollen eyes
So that you have an "ideal" morning

I WILL say what's on my mind
Whatever you make out of it
This strange masquerade ball that we attend everyday
Seems to be hosted especially for the both of us
Only for the both of us

So...
What's the point in hiding your face?
Wine glasses
                                           Clink away
The music of reality
Loved your touch too much to forego it

But your warm caress

Could not soothe my aching heart

And so I left

For my heart did not agree with this love of mine
We are marionettes
Pulled together by invisible strings
And pulled apart by the same
Rolling in and out of love.
I get to see her when she runs in the rain
Soaking wet, water dripping off her chest like sweat.
I sit in the car and as she goes by,
I look at her approaching, then I look at her die.

    And I keep my head over the politics of the humans
    So that right and wrong doesn't tear me apart.
    In this unknown place, many souls I have known
    Seen their journeys end, seen their miseries start.

   She runs down the street unaware of my inhumane gaze
   Unaware of the world, unaware of her place in
   The depths of my immortal heart.
I stare ahead
My reflection stares back
                         Bit
                              by
                                    Bit
We merge into each other
A mask over the pre-existing facade of reality
I have merged directions
And now
Can only gaze at
A blank canvas
Resounding with
    
                              Emptiness
Silence, silence everywhere
The plates and forks stacked in the kitchen
Start Falling

Breaking into pieces with edges
Which can cut open my skin

The monotony of the night is pierced
By stifled shrieks

Nobody, there's nobody outside
The patrol of the spirits
Is Starting

The hours are going backward
In time.
We shall soon see the sun rise into afternoon
And dissipate into dawn.
I've kept my heart in a jar
Locked my tears in the sky
Don't need to cry or hurt anymore
But I feel so empty, and I wonder why

Mistletoe shade is scarce
Mistletoe season is yet to come
And like them I'm ******* out the life out of my past
Curving endlessly into the tracks of my last run
Mortified
I stare at the half dead birds
With wings of smoking coals
Fly into igloos made of plastic
And leave a trail of blood
On the blue paper sky

Mortified
I close my eyes
And drift into dreamland
To escape this astronomically nonsensical nightmare
Of a half dead reality.
He doesn't seem to have much faith, does he?
Well...we have, don't we?
Yes
We do



But for how long...?
Hard feelings die hard
What a bad coincidence
Eat my heart out
But let alone my eyes
I still want to see her
If she comes back
Someday...
Sleep has abandoned me
Under the white ceiling
Lit up by fluorescent green starships
I sit. Wide awake in the middle of the darkness
I had wondered for a long time today
Wondered if I should break this rule
That I have set down for myself
And then I realised
This wasn't a rule
It was me
Myself
It was
What I am
Paranoia
Creeping up my thighs
Right into this ******, thumping heart

All of my baser senses
Numbed into action
The eyes wake with an unusual start

The hours pass by
Cotton rags on the navy sky
And little by little I drown into fear
