I had been wandering for so long
Eventually it became apparent
I would never settle down and grow old
My heart was forever young
I was stuck in a perpetual state of adventure

I had become so used to moving
That sitting too long made me restless
I was on a constant quest
To see what was over the horizon

My thirst for knowledge and experience
Seemed unquenchable

In my times and travels
I have met many
I have seen much
I have broadened my perspective
I have learned to love
And to push hate away

I know that life is short
But it's never too short to explore
To learn more
Of the world and yourself

Sometimes I feel just fine and I remember that time heals everything and other times my hands start shaking so bad I can hardly hold my cigarettes or myself up and it feels like I'm going to ***** but I don't even have the strength to get up and crawl to the bathroom. I can smell you in the air but you're not here. It's like every part of my body is wondering where you are wondering why it can't feel you and why my heart isn't beating the way it used to and I try to remember time heals everything, but the more time that passes the more I ache to hear your voice and smell your skin.
You look through me
not to me
and may be that overshadowed
may be you know me
or may be you actually not know me

I seem to be
what i really may not be
may be you gazed me
and i may not be the version of what you thought i may be
OR
may be you never understood
you just stare
MAY BE !!! just may be
you simply don't care
She
At the end she was just a normal girl waiting for someone to make her believe forever exist :) :)
Two days of hunger
one bread to feed
Four mouth opens
and all i hear is silence
speaking from heart beat


Stumbling in pain
she begs not to touch her esteem
compelled to live in hell
she has been traded for few fins
unable to endure the defeat
she wimps in grief
all I hear is silence
speaking from her heartbeat

Happy family of five they were
No vain, no plea
everything was lost in a blink of eye
when they saw missiles coming to their street
two are left homeless
shedding tears in fleet
all I hear is silence
speaking from their heartbeat

Shredded, rattled body lies in the ground
River of blood flows
Poverty, hunger and human are trade all around
Still no one bothers
Humanity has become so weak
WHY ALWAYS SILENCE
WHEN ARE WE GOING TO SPEAK......................
The sun forgave itself
long ago, for burning too bright,
it scorched our touching palms,
cheek to cheek, it burnt.*

That night we whispered
A song to the reeds,
Let it drift down that
Wayward line of memories,
Let it settle in the graves
Of each bed we slept in.

We let fate colour our
Hearts recklessly, like a
Child who can't stay
Within the confined lines
Of their drawing book.

Until the dawn began,
And we let our skin simmer,
Melting on each other's lips.
Until we are only skeletons
Embracing through a
World set in flames.
"This is the way the world ends.
Not with a bang but a whimper.' —T.S. Eliot

Words of kindness
are like a balm for the soul
and should be applied liberally
