"Did you hear that?"

"Sssshhhhh......"

"hear"

'It is nightingale'

'No, no it is lark'

'oh you are such a catastrophic'

'it has to be lark,'

'love is Shakespearean'

'life is denial'

'it's time....'

'yes, it's time, it's time to write death poem'

(the other person stares)

"to what I owe this breath ******,
to what I know this death moody,
lingered upon your wish to die,
to die is intellectual lie
into the circle out in snow,
thus I entered thus I just go"

(Beloved reader, by the way, that was nightingale, imitating lark,
lark was never a bird, it had always been our conviction.)

Here I enter
enter to take the knife from your hand

I cut my throat everyday

Catastrophe is an existence

my friend is a traitor
he did not held my head in lap
one last time

reincarnation is suffering

agony is overrated
overrating is an agony

thus I must not live
thus I must not live
thus I must not live

Ocean eyes
so deep and blue
I drown in their hue
beautiful and intoxicating
I promise I’m not overrating
Long lashes
silken sashes
but what enthrals
most of all
is the love that I see
When they gaze at me
Satsih Verma Apr 2017
You tell me in no
ambiguity to hold on the solitude.
Life was overrating the return
of a prodigal saint.

In wet distance
would you plant the seeds
of spiritual lockup?

Was it not two timing?
Riding on the waves
and starting roots music?

Shot in the back
of head, you wanted to die quickly
being sincere towards life.

Self-abandonment,
it were you, which was, for
what it was not.

I am counting the tongues
of flames, licking
the acid burned virtues.
Philip Richards Feb 2017
My hearse tracks y axis elation
Tram tries to numb; it's work undone
nerves crackle with ideas above my station
While they're overrating; love and hating
All my love is devastation
I leave ideals in desolation
Camila Jul 2013
Is it wrong that I think I'm not the worst?
That I'm not so bad.
I'm I overrating myself?
I'm I really so hard to love?
Because I've seen bad and I've seen mean
and I can't believe that they are better than me.

This World...
is a traveling salesman
that doesn't know when to say when
hiding tricks up its sleeve

This World...
is an infomercial
filled with needy commercials
promising free delivery

This World...
is a picnic
that brings its own ants in
to eat a slice of the pie

This World...
is a mortician
with teeth that sharply glisten
waiting for us to die

This World...
is a New York City taxi
weaving in and out of traffic
overrating the fare

This World...
is a child that is missing
on a milk jug that is empty
with no one to care

This World...
is a train wreck
from which you can't turn your head
no matter how hard you try

This World...
is in need of a medic
with an extensive headache
right between the eyes

Roses are beautiful
But they’re quite bitter tasting
Don’t reach for her heart
Because it doesn’t match her
Beautiful exterior
Chills to the bone
Is what you will receive
No warm emotions to calm your soul.
Roses are beautiful
But they stab you if you come near.
They don’t liked to be touched,
As most women feel.
No one likes a ***** ladies
Am I right?
Roses are beautiful
But they’re quite sweet smelling.
Poison to lure you into their magic spelling
Once your close and quite intoxicated
By that sweet sweet overrating.
You think you’ve got the girl
And then she pulls out her claws
And reminds you her thorns
Are sharper than her flaws.
Roses are beautiful
But roses will be roses
as long as she’s viewable.
Hold your expectations
For after the luminal.
Blank mind
You’ll find
Works best
For your own rest.
What does this mean to you?
