We were just mindless beings
Lost and running
Flip flops clacking
Hitting wet pavement
Sending erratic echoes
Through the abandoned quadrangle

Crash landing on the hilltop
Falling straight to the grass
Staring up at the sky
We were as light as feathers
Letting the wind lift us
To wherever it pleased

Traveling to other worlds
Rotation after rotation
Blissfully absent
Exhaling our worries
Swirling delicate smoke
Into the grips of the stars

Having intimate conversations
With the lonesome moon
Thousands of miles away
Not the moon but ourselves
We were fighting for memory
We were fighting to be found

Distracted by the night sky
Foggy eyed and distant
Alone and cold blooded
Hidden in the tall grass
We were just mindless beings
Slowly slithering to oblivion

Mistress Misery my lover
What ill will shall we discover?

Do you enjoy my company
When you bring me down?
Would you be my Devil
If I could not be found?
Would you break my heart
If you thought you could?
Why do you scorn me
When I'm feeling good?
WWJD to get even?
We are authors of such cruelty
****** violence unchecked
Physically, manifesting
The rot that permeates
the heart of what it is
To be human
*******, manipulation
Manevolance now defined
All life bleeds irrevelence
Since killing was refined.           Hy

An assortment of experiences
Empirically gather
I’ve sampled the sacred nectar
I’ve climbed Jacob’s ladder
I’ve found to stay clear
Of both worry and fear
Is the key to longevity
In this life we hold dear
Yet the eyes of this world
Are more near than farsighted
And the strangers next door
Are rarely invited
Close-mindedness and fear
Are cultural building blocks
Compassion is an open gate
Indifference keeps it locked
Only love can mend
A world so far apart
The path we are missing
Lies within our hearts...
Finally i found peace in my heart. . . ..

there is no more hurt, no more pain, no more holding on tears, no more sacrifice...... Just a relief that you are no more
but....
Once upon a time there was you and me. Against the world ...n
Love so strong.. that not even we could let each other go far apart. . .
that was the time when we meant world to each other ! :)

what are we now? where are we now? what happened between to us? ? ?
~~All these questions are not worth answering... cause there was a time when we had our chance insist of taking each other's love for granted if we would have the fear of losing one another then i wish ...we would never have to see this day in our life !!

i used to wish upon the moonlit-night to have you more close to me but now as i opened my eyes, i found out that it was a day time
I've already passed the night so.. no more wishing to have you back during the night time... n
from that day onward //......"NIGHT", never really came in my life !!

Picasso at McDonald’s  

super size my eyes--let the glare
of Pablo’s dead desires
burn my retinas, and  
indelibly engrave the golden arches
behind my drooping lids
they will be my rainbows,
with pots of dreams
to order at each end  
and fast food prophesies
slickly sliding down yelling yellow loops
through the endless blue sky    
inside your hallowed halls
the chopped souls of Guernica  
are invisible to our eyes
their stillborn screams don’t reach our ears
but their torment will be assuaged
by a Big Mac and large fries  
they will no longer hear
the shrill whistle
of the German’s falling shells  
the laughter of the children at play  
or the other sinking sounds
that get us through the day
