Distract me now
if only for a few seconds
let this chaos keep kicking up the dust
continue the scattering and never let it settle.
Distract me again
just a couple minutes longer
let pulsing veins feed the beating which is cracking open my heart
the same heart that enclosed you now sets you free.

Distract me Divert me Detour me from this jaded circle I'm Spinning.

Be my decoy.

I've freed you, but who can free me?
now so entangled, so trapped, I forget how to see.
These artist's hands smeared with the shades of shame
This poets dreams only dungeons of deep doubts and disapointments
and I can sense the echo of it's bass in the hollow of my soul
and feel how the erosion of silent suffering has made a shallow hole

Distracted too long
and not even the phoenix song
can raise my spirits from this new-found gravity.
This pressure creates a wave of liquid fire
threatening to burn me with flames to inspire
but without hope, these dreams, these hands, cannot hold what they desire

Hoplessly distracted
and time spent wasted seems exponentially extended.
The spell of worry and hesitation has overcast my mind
letting the gloom sink the sunshine.
Selfishly baiting negativity, I wore a mask. I pretended.

Distract the demon this time,
hold him off as long as you can
to escape his hold on me is my only plan
feed me full of courage, strength and wisdom, I want my belly to ache
and maybe then my voice can make his grip slip and this earth quake.
the ground will shake, this mask will break, opening my senses to the universe that I can make.

Its hard
I drove through the path of expression
And reached the destination of locked doors
I never reached to my impressions

I had no solution to all the situations
I faced the world of complications
And got the situation more complicated

At some point
I faced many disapointments
Because you never recognized me
Yet i craved for your recognition

I wish i could forget about you.
I wish i could look at you in a different way.
I wish i could look at you and feel nothing.
But its a pity i can't forget about you.
I can't look at you in a different way.
And i feel plenty of indefinable feeling everytime i look at you

Admision has always my desire
But rejection always has a loud voice.
And using poetic language has always been the best way
To express my feelings and impress my beloved ones

I choose to render
rather than to surrender

Love happens to be a bad thing
Since its hard impress
People we wanna share it with

Its hard
I drove through the path of expression
And reached the distination
Of locked doors
I never reached to my impressions

I had no solution to all the situations
I faced the world of complications
And got the situation more complecated

At some point
I faced too many disapointments
Because u never recognised me
Yet i craved for your recognition

I wish i could forget about you.
I wish i could look at you in a different way.
I wish i could look at you and feel nothing.
But its a pity i cant forget about you.
I cant look at you in a different way.
And i feel plenty of indefinable feelings everytime i see you and i cant let go.

Admision has always been my desire,
But rejection always has a loud voice.
And using poetic language has always been the best way to express my feelings and impress my beloved ones

I chose to render
Rather than to
Surrender

Love happens to be abad thing
Since its hard to impress people
We wanna share it with

What is it I'm not doing right? because lately my life has just been filled  with disapointments.
Maybe I expect to much from people...
Maybe I expect to much from myself.
I just can't seem to get anything right,literally everthing in my assignment is wrong.
I hardly speak when I am lost.
This cannot be me living my best life
when I feel like such a loser in the game of life.
Maybe I don't try hard enough.
I just don't know what it is that I am not doing right.
Is it because of the person I was a few years ago: judgemental,selfish,self absorbed and a humble brag.
I just can't put my finger on what I'm not doing right.
quite disappointed that all my plans haven't been going as planned.

I Believe what I say
A sonnet is a moment's
Monument,
Memorial from the soul
Eternity to one's deathless
Hour
Shed a light
Don't shed a tear
Give a small praise
Don't dance with a stranger
Farewell to the soldiers
farewell to the world
As winter is coming
Believe what I say
A woman speaks with her heart
Save me
Even if
Is to realy love you
Even if the love is to evaporate
The irresisteble one you are
A rose
The Jasmin tree
Has the perfume of eternity
With these eyes
Full of raindrops
That had fallen from the sky
There is hope
For us so strong
God will carry us through
Our lives
And my hope for us is that we live and love each other
Like lover's do
What else can I say?
Believe in me
Let's get our act together
Because we don't know our destiny
It is hard to know if we are heading through the right direction
All I need is assurance
There are no disapointments for us I can assure you that
Everything is alright with me
And it will be all right for us
Take your time to be with me
There is somebody at your door
With not just a pretty face
This one is me
There are letters left unopened at my desk
You can always pull me through
I saw you in the mirror
I am gratefulul for you
Because you can always pull me through
My black dats
And lift my spyrit
We are not afraid to die
We are not afraid to dream
We are not afraid to show the love we have for each other
We are not afraid to speak our mind
Once the morning comes
You can change your mind
Your love is like a river that runs trhough my heart and soul
When I am warm and thirsty
Nothing will change my mind
You are the one for me
And I am the one for you
I know that we can't live another day without each other
Let's make a wish for us
And I hope that life will be good for the two of us
I don't need to see the trust you have in me
Because I have so much trust for you
If there were no dreamers like us
What the world would be without dreamers
If we didn't had each other
What would our lives be?
It would be inposible for us to describe
Because we better not think about it
Let's enjoy life
Let's enjoy our love
Hope is what we need for each other

— The End —
