I. The moon sings the languid flower,   to bloom at midnight hour Harmonious feast transpires -   luminescent choir Petals mirror la hue de Luna,   but pale below her glow Though the desert sweet aroma,   is fragrance plus photo Neither causing nightly failure,   in idyllic charm In fact, those powers are greater,   together than apart II. The moon a long gone distant rock,   yet pulls on ocean tops Cereus lures with sweetest tricks,   and stings with countless licks   Battered holy asteroid face,  woos flawless solar gaze And even though it causes mire,   lunar eclipses fire The cactus thrives in driest sands,   and chokes in fertile lands Alluring lonesome wanderers,   promising mere water The lucid beauty bewilders,   as much as it can haunt In fact, those powers are greater,   together than apart III. You, once my cereus and moon,   were drowned in my love well Perhaps, I was this to you too,   though your hole I’d not delve However, what was first velvet,   morphed into devil’s horns Winter shed those thorns in my chest,   now spring gifts hope and more The icy grips of each winter,   provides spring fuel to spark In fact, those powers are greater,   together than apart IV. Although we've gone on our own ways,   I wouldn’t change the past For each step was necessary,   to find true love at last We were once greater together. I’m now greater apart.

My Cereus and Moon
Is it not easy   to greet to someone whom you never spoke for a very long time? Among all people, I am the only one you've always bypass to talk to I know the hindrance why we ward off each other just to make ourselves escape the stigma Curiosity gets bigger Each time I look at you Should I wait patiently Or take the wheel further One thing I could do... All what I wanted to say, all my thoughts about you, are profoundly veiled You and me are the only ones to know what's in... where people shouldn't know A storage box of unspoken words a birthday bag of sweets If you are reading this do not assume that I did them

Countless Stars
If there was one word One word, isolated by itself That I cannot stand above all others It would have to be "Okay" I despise "Okay" "Okay" Is how your millionth day at work went "Okay" Is off-brand raisin bran "Okay" Is how you say life is going When you don't want to admit you spend Every second of it Wanting to die "Okay" Is packed to the brim with Hidden implications Like a treasure chest Filled with bottles With little subliminal hatreds Written on tiny slips of paper Passively aggressively pushed inside To discover later As I pull out a treasure map And try to decipher Where I went wrong "Okay" Is a one word dismissal That feels like an essay a thousand pages long "Okay" Is a poison dripping with disinterest When I dared to share with you Something I thought might make you smile "Okay" Is like trying to talk to a wall While watching the paint on it dry "Okay" Takes two seconds to write Yet I waited days For that dreaded word To grace my notifications "Okay" Should be used sparingly As if each time you send it You **** the receiver just a little bit "Okay" Should not be said so often that I know what you're about to say Like I saw it in a crystal ball "Okay" Is not looking up from your phone When I tell you about my day "Okay" Is not the proper response To "I love you" They say that the opposite of love isn't hatred It's indifference And I can't think of a response More indifferent to pouring out My heart into your hands Than "Okay" At least the last thing you said to me Before we parted ways Showed that you cared At least a little bit "I hate you" Stung less Than the thousands of times Over our countless conversations You responded "Okay" Okay?

your mind is like the ocean a constant wave of emotion for a second it was a storm of hate crashing out now it is a calm tide of love surfacing about beneath the tides lie countless wrecks like memories resting inside my head I thought I'd forgotten placed them deep below but they surface from time to time trying to stay afloat   my mind has a never ending complexity I own it - yet struggle to control it it is drowning in emotion it is struggling to keep afloat but for now I will bathe in the undisputed unknown

One more day is fading away as we ride this bus to the city The storm is coming nearer now And your bliss will turn to tears We've almost reached our destination Countless parachutes in the sky These mosquitoes are swarming before your eyes, Just a moment's time til someone dies The skies are getting darker now Not a shard of light in this room You'd better make good choices now Or meet your impending doom I hear your steps from the other room And I'm already locked and loaded You'd better get on running now Or I'll destroy what's left of you I walk upstairs to higher ground and hear your cowardly whines, I look in the eyes of my colleague And said don't move, this **** is mine I've made my way to my snipers' nest and my eyes are set to **** I've got my sights on your head right now To pull the trigger, you know I will

Victory Royale
Dear insecure, emotional, overthinking young man you've come a long way from way back then you've lost a lot - but had to realize "who hasn't?" your strong will seemed to be mistaken a lot from your passion you've missed out on a lot of love by second guessing & never unmasking why weren't you truly ever satisfied... nah, that's the question that I'm asking... your abandonment issues pushed away the potential of something ever lasting constantly fighting the man in the mirror hopefully with your new life - you see things clearer no one ever knew, with you...who they were gonna get you've missed out on a lot of good times wanting to talk instead of just letting it go and enjoying the time you had left. Your favorite pills were self pity, self indulgence, ignorance and regret you never stopped to listen - stopped talking - hopefully now you allow others words to be said no woman stood a chance... you purposely acted a certain way to avoid the possibility of true love discretely pushing them away until they saw nothing and had enough. don't get me started on your lack of living missed out on a lot of trips, chances and opportunities I hope now you've filled that void that is missing you swore happiness was wealth... power...a line of respect little did you know it was the little things; the calm, the moments the people and things in life worth it and willing to invest. you gave up on a few dreams... figured why fight? countless times your mind would just run... keep you up all night you were so afraid of success... honestly, I never knew why you never freed that little boy trapped - stuck in his father's grasp he was begging for freedom, you left him struck inside everyday was another day you thought was your time. **I hope you live now I hope you see the beauty life truly is I hope you found love I hope you found this** I needed to write this letter to you - so you can see how far you have come you can see that change is real you can see all that you have become Bland Douglas Simpkins, that's the man you should be proud to be no matter what challenges you were faced with those obstacles were needed, needed to make it to this me thank those who've came into your life - not all were meant to last some forced you left - others showed you right no matter what, some were needed in your past. So... Dear future self, please understand - I'm sorry. For all that I put you through the truth remains - that without me - just know... there would be no you.

Anxiety is not stress. Anxiety is not some umbrella term you can use to describe how you feel when your favorite character in a book is in an intense battle unless you can somehow feel how fast their heart is beating until you can feel how hot their blood is until you can feel what it’s like to be that character in that situation the weight of the world on your shoulders Anxiety is not finding lighting candles to be the only solution, candles are another problem. Another long paragraph to your list of “Things That Can Easily **** Me” example: “I didn’t leave any matches out, did I? I blew out the candle right? I need to check. Do I smell burning?? PUT THE CAP WHEN IT’S DONE! Will set off my fire alarm? Does my fire alarm work? Where’s my fire alarm??? Where’s somewhere I can put it so it doesn’t hurt me. THIS IS OK THIS IS NORMAL THIS IS RELAXATION.” Anxiety is not stress. Anxiety is horrible flashing images, constant reminders, the most negative form of “what if” imaginable. Anxiety is wasting all your time thinking about an 8 page paper due for class in a week but instead of bringing yourself to writing it you are sobbing on the floor thinking of how bad for your grade this will be. Anxiety is having a crush on a girl and trying out makeup for the first time. Anxiety is having a crush on a guy and wondering if your sense of humor is funny enough. Anxiety is not stress. Anxiety is downloading an app that checks on your health and leaves you wondering how long this has been going on for. Anxiety is wondering how to fix your eating disorder instead of actually fixing it Anxiety is outing yourself to fit in Anxiety is always wearing pants because you’re too afraid of your own scars Anxiety is staying up countless nights crying crying crying you cannot yell your thoughts are no longer your own Anxiety is writing a list of pros and cons to killing yourself Anxiety is lighting a candle so you can slowly burn the list because Anxiety is telling you if someone finds out, you will die. Anxiety is not stress. Anxiety is having making a friend and losing them in less than a year Anxiety is wondering if all this help is helping or do I need to help myself Anxiety is your friends questioning you non-stop are they really questioning you or do you question yourself? Anxiety is memorizing the suicide prevention hotline Anxiety is beating yourself up countless times “How could you forget something as simple as a Birthday?!” Anxiety is “I only have three friends and one hates me, one I’m trying not to lose, and the other I love too much to tell the truth” Anxiety is “It’s only a matter of time before we all die!” Anxiety is “Congratulations! Two of your friends have died this year alone! One ******* hates you! Oh! HAHA! Wait! They all ******* hate you!” Anxiety can turn you from “Wow. I look kinda good today.” to ”DYSPHORIA! DYSPHORIA! DYSPHORIA!” JUST ******* KIDDING! ANXIETY IS STRESS! AND MUCH MUCH MORE!!!!!!!!

My brother.
I, a colony of 37 trillion cooperating cells Would like you, a colony of 37 trillion cooperating cells To accept, some of my colony of 37 trillion cooperating cells To join some of your colony of 37 trillion cooperating cells to create a completely separate colony of 37 trillion cooperating cells and as our colonies of 37 trillion cooperating cells cooperate less and less, our new colony of 37 trillion cooperating cells shall be looking for a colony of 37 trillion cooperating cells to repeat what countless colonies of 37 trillion cooperating cells have done since we swung in the trees.

Carbon based proposal
The distant park Was a graveyard of dead stars. Each streetlight a system of worlds, So many lives between each mote of light, Indistinguishable in their unique love, Bespoke hate, and the drama of the modern age. Drunk laughter behind transparent Double doors. Another hotel balcony, Another cloud behind the canopy Of marijuana eyes To unsettle me from the crowd. She points out, when you look closely You can see the disorder Amongst all constellations Of life and love and litter; Of discarded Coke cans And temporary highs. She says this is not a scene To imbue the ****** of a present mind, More to baulk at the incompletion Of one thousand to-do lists; A million reasons why You should just stay inside. She says you can see the human swell Of ignorance, our city lights Blotting out the stars In a black ocean of broken politic And irretrievable fault lines- Divisions between us all. Lives twisted with professional smiles And eyes lit with stunning indifference. Still, I have felt charity and warmth On the doorstep of lunatics and fascists. I have read the love of life In faces of those who gave up. I have recounted countless artists Who saw beauty In moments that precisely lacked it. I have spent too many nights In anaesthesia, Fleeing each instance of feeling And terror; all the tremors That tell me I am still alive. Continued to stare at the lights Long after her voice And the laughter inside had gone. Heard waves in the traffic. A world so large, so expansive, It can never truly sleep. Every broken heart, Every war-torn land, Every promotion, Every one-night stand. I wonder what would happen If we all stood still. If we all took one moment To observe the motion That unfolds beneath Our static windowsill. If we all took one moment To recover our loss. The wars that we won, The feelings, forgot. The hell we retain; Our paradise, lost.

Kudos to Kaepernick. I just cannot drown all my beliefs and ideas, even if it contradicts my flesh and soul. When I heard that not standing up to the tune; that has always succeeded on sweeping all of the messes underneath the sad reality, to be deemed as subversive, I know that Rosa would definitely clench onto the seat tighter than ever. Kneel, my friend, kneel. To drag our body out there, all over the precious hills and fields, while acting as if the scale has always been set fairly beneath you all this time, will hurt you more than myself. How can a mere matter of things decide our future, our destiny? We shall shape our fate, you shall shape your own fate, and to be judged on the perception biasedly built in the name of order for thousands of years, is a situation that should not be endured by anyone or anything in a tiny dot within this vast universe. Kneel, my friend, kneel. And for that, I cannot stand proudly and profess my love to you as of now, even though I will always wear my heart on my sleeve for you to see. To be cheated, to be manipulated, to be deemed as surplus, by those at the tip of the plateau, that cunningly asked us to forget all the tangles and wrangles for the love of this sacred land, while unashamedly distribute everything off the land, off the ocean amongst them, is the last thing that we should allow to happen. I am one of those people that are not able to put on the mask on top of our meant-to-be honest faces, to say hail to the thief is worse than the eternal grief. I have never dreamed of burying the hatchet with them, not even for a second and if I ever do it, I shall be condemned and dismissed for forgetting the roots, the fons et origo of mine. To love you does not mean to stand still to the soulless melodies, to love you does not mean to bow down to the meaningless piece of cloth that has overseen countless infiltration and bombing over the years. Kneel, my friend, kneel. To love you is to fight for the rights of many, by any means, even by not standing up. When black is no longer the symbol of miserable, filth and calamity, we shall then breath with ease, stand on our feet and fully embrace the real meaning behind all those majestic words. Kudos to Kaepernick.

Have you ever seen the sun rise? Witnessed with your own two eyes? Watching exactly how it went? Not through someone else's photo captured moment You'll really enjoy it more if you view it live & you'll appreciate just being alive I've watched the sun rise countless mornings It's like my own private showings Each one completely different in every way & the best way to start any day They're bright & beautiful Breatakingly blissful You'll never feel the same once you've experienced it & so many will never understand the feeling you get It's hard to explain but I'll do my best I'd imagine it's like fresh air deepily inhaled into your chest Your lungs fill up with all the freshness & you exhale all that causes you stress Your worries all just disappear Your mind is calm & clear It's a feeling that just forever stays Until your dying days Joy & happiness is all you release It is what brings you inner peace All you care to do now is enjoy everything No matter the troubles & obstacles life may bring A happy soul is all you've got & need Your heart has compassion & optimism is what you bleed Sharing your smile with all you pass or whoever you meet That is your favorite way to say hello & greet All from experiencing a live sun rise happen That all may seem impossible to imagine All that out of just a sun rising? When it happens to you, it IS quite surprising Shocking at first, you just can't believe how you feel & you wonder how can this even be real? If you allow yourself to let go of your worries & any doubt Then you make room to clearly feel what it's about You're allowing yourself to be vulnerable & that's when you become more relatable Clearing your clouded mind of opinions from useless chatter Let's you finally enjoy what most may think or say doesn't really matter Those are the ones who don't pay a lot of attention & are afraid to get lost in their imagination Never will they set a foot out of their "safe" box & risk crossing that thin line It's OK, it's their loss & that's just fine They'll just never understand your constant positive attitude & can't recall a time you were even the slightest bit rude They will never know how to just live happily Inside their soul will be dying slowly Some won't see how beautiful a sun rise really is It's something no one should ever miss A sun rise & even a sun set Are too amazing to just forget!!

A single dandelion seed could turn a desert into a beautiful garden, all it needs is someone to love it and look after it ~ Because the love of light is for all to bear, it is embracing, warm and gentle, life grows out of it to rejoice it's wonderful unique touch. Seeing the desert one should note, that light can be cruel and harsh, scorching in heat while only trying to do what's right, Leaving behind an almost lifeless part, it becomes the kiss of death, In the end you get lost, blinded the luminousity which was once a gift And by the night when it covers, you lost all fear of darkness, It already became part of what you were anyway, you didn't belong, Without turning your back you simply let the darkness consume you, Yet don't you see, that the nights somber appearance holds the glory of crystal starlight; a river of countless of them form the milky way, Perhaps you are but a blossoming flower, only blooming to the kindled brightness of tonights moon, dim, yet also filled with awe, The love of light is for all to bear, but don't overdose yourself with it, Otherwise, it will burn you up before it leaves you rotting. ~ Umi

flirting
“Who am I?” I always ask myself. And whenever I do Countless of flashbacks races before my eyes Telling me that I am this and I am that Making me feel uncomfortable on my own skin Confusing me “Who are you?” I ask again But I don’t really know "Who are you?" For the third time I ask myself And I remember how I used to be Acting differently between people I meet And for the last time “Who are you?” I ask Still, flashbacks The memories of me being innocent Memories of me being a monster And I ask myself again "Who am I?"

Went to my ancestor's home on a Spring season that year.. On a Holi day in the land of Chanchadari A peaceful morning in Hoshiarpur, the doors to Himalaya Happy Holli day!! The kids shout with cheer Holi Hai! Holi Hai! Lets play Holi!!! He woke up early morning that day.. With a bucket of colored water waiting for me I stepped outside my grandpa's door In a split second I was soaked in a coloured water… From head to toes… red, orange, yellow, purple… the colors of Holi… Ohh It's a Hoi Hai day alright… Lets play Holi … Lets play Holi.. Hails spring with ecstasy and joy! The trees smile with their sprout of tender leaves and blooming flowers, The land of beauty and greatness, India, witnessing color of happiness and peace. Nation come alive to enjoy the spirit A celebration of color- Holi! An experience of content, harmony and delight. Holi colors of red, green, yellow and countless. A day's canvas - a riot of colors. Lively crowd running, dancing, playing Rainbow of colors, Lets play Holi and splish and splash!! Lets play with the frenzy colors .. play on Holi Hai day…. I am dreaming of playing with colors with you It is the Holi celebration after all. I can't play inside my home, the carpets will get tainted, I cant' play it in the yard, the grass and outer walls will get painted. I thought I would go to the secret garden of ours, and play with you Holi hai day … It's a colourful day just you and me.. In love on Holi Hai day…. Lets play Holi..

Never thought I'd listen to Kodaline, as I walk down the Memory Lane Oh, Clementine For when I was with you I've always been sane You said you'd be at nine But since you were no longer mine, I spent all night with you in my mind And glasses of champagne on my hand Oh, Clementine It's hard for me even to draw a line Letting you go costs insanity I can't define With countless loss of dopamine But I guess if you're fine I'd do my best not to intervene Oh, Clementine February 14th you're no longer my Valentine Driving through the sreets I ran out of gasoline But the time is due and I've come to the deadline While sighing 'I'm done' I know it's time for me to be gone

Clementine
Endless stains of blood On white t-shirts On nights that scatter blue trees over black earth Alight by shooting stars The mother tells her child Unwilling to unlock the truth The truth those stars Don't grant your wishes They grab them With scarred scratching hands. Alight, The damp stitches in the soil Cemetery symmetrical to hospital Those shooting stars circling Like a vulture Speeds towards dead carcasses Still, the murdering star will not cease To break bones That have already broken To take lives That have already been taken To burn What is already charred Today smells like burnt muddied skin feels like gnawing on your own fingers for feast sounds like tired, howling machines spurring and sputtering, never-ending their onwards trek Swallowing distances and with it, nameless faces countless places Today the earthquakes of death Don't make the land shake anymore For it has learned to cope With the desolate cemeteries filled with mute bones Today burns like gasoline Looks like intestines decorating destroyed doorways Today it rains curdled crimson Tell me shooting star If the child liked  jam on his toast Did he snore? Did he like math? Or english? Shooting star doesn't know and neither the bombs. As bodies fall from trees like rotten plums. The world was born in blood And has not ceased to suckle its wounds Endless blood thirst, Endless war But not endless skin to bleed.

We perpetuate heartbreak culture, teaching girls the man who holds her loves her despite the bruises, or it was her fault; she looked older. We fetishes shoulders, prize youth from the young in return for pre-chewed gum, swallowing down the same tired ideals from those who still wield them like flags, waving their patriotism on poles of bone before a throne of medieval ******** They chant mantras with beer stained breath about how 'our' country 'bested' the rest, but what about the brutality? The blood split on foreign soil in return for prehistoric oil? Our land is deemed pure so long as the violence on our hands never reaches our shores, but the ocean is red and staining our sands. How can you have pride in a country who's sole identity is based off having the worlds largest navy? Congratulations. You bombed your way through countless continents, collecting cultures to gather dust on pedestals and alters We sin on Sundays, drink till we're ****** then wave at the seven deadly's (they don't apply to us here). We teach preschoolers nationalism before they can walk, indoctrinate our children before they can talk. George killed the dragon. Hood gave to the poor. we all jumped on the bandwagon before we realised the princess had no choice and the rich still ruled. There was no voice in the tale for those whose wail could be ignored. What about those without lines in the script? Those kicked to the curb, then kicked from it? Our pavements have no room for nonconformists, they're tailored to for same mind, same mindless wanderer, squandering on the lasted polyesters even though that mouth on the street hasn't eaten in over a week. 'God save the Queen' from the vermin; the homeless have been tossed out of the trash. Why help them when you could save your cash by turning a blind? After all, out of sight, out of mind. Welcome to England, we hope you like what you find Because we’re not changing it.

You were once the greatest thing that ever happened to me and now you are just thrown in the back of my mind. Now you're just scattered memories. I was always afraid of changing. I was never made to do this because my life revolved around you. But life does keep going. As you decide to jump off this runaway train, leaving me in the dust left to rust. Leaving these grounds to become a beautiful flaming light in the darkness. Every night I would look into the sky and talk to you, telling you that life does keep going on but it's making me sick, love. But in the morning I will awake and rise from the ground not knowing how to walk properly again. But I'll find enough strength to walk to your resting place and find peace in it and slow down in this race. But I gave you all I had and now I have nothing left to hold I took all my love and spread it across your wild footprints and grave, like ashes, to let it sink down into you once again. We all get older. We all lose things. Life doesn't stop and I have never felt more alone, but time continues and the days go on. But not a day goes by that I forget you because I never dreamed of meeting someone like you, but now you're just a memory in the back of my mind. Oh, the tragedy I have seen, leaving my eyes burnt out. "Please don't be dead." I repeat countless times to your stone, to the sky, to the heavenly stars that shine so bright leaving the darkness in the pity shadows. "Do this for me please." "Just one more miracle."
