Here, Now.

I
can’t
Tell.  if
The      sky
Above       Is real

Or not          Quite there

Quite near                            Enough
To hold                                                   The stars
In the                                                                             Palm of
My hand                                                                                         And be
So glad                                                                         That I
Can see                                             The light
That shines         All through

The night.       Will it

Go out? Will it?

Will      it?

Go
out?

a truthful poem

a truthful poem

I lie
and
I lie
and
I lie

I hide my behavior
to keep you safe.

I keep quiet
not to offend you.

I agree with you
to keep you happy.

I walk on eggshells
for you and
it’s never enough.

I lie
and
I lie
and
I lie

but when the truth
arrives at that
final moment;

jaws will drop
plates will shatter
dogs will growl

and
you’ll be long gone
after seeing what
a ghastly beast
I am

but for now

I lie
and
I lie
and
I lie

to keep us
together.

Mother Nature does not hear your calls

Mother Nature does not hear your calls

Nature is not your ally
she has nothing to do with one person’s actions or feelings
she didn’t ask for your permission
or rather yet your opinion
whether you love her flaws or not
you have to accept what she does
and that also concludes her final decision
for what she wants to become next

The beauty and curse of songs

The beauty and curse of songs

Listening to music
While tears falls
The Music hit's hard
While the heart..
Gets scarred,
Every word we hear
Every melody:
Every tone
Is heaven to our ears
And pain but pleasing
to our heart,
The pleasant sound
it resonates,
It may heal ones spirit
It can also ****
One's will

Just a short poem

Time "Heals"

Time "Heals"

I seek resolution
I seek peace
Us with no decision
Save me from this prison

The future, I fear
Where the conflict is forever here
We don't have to be friends
We don't have to be enemies

I know I am built wrong
So are you
The path for growth is long
And I'm still on it

Let time dilute the hate
I pray for us to have a better fate
If it doesn't,
At least it'll ease the ache

I think the hardest part of letting go of a friend is knowing they hate you in the end. I've made my mistakes, they've made theirs...

— The End —
