Me and Mrs. Mosquito
Under the glow of the room’s lights,
Where there was only I and my solitude,
I tried to clear my cluttered thoughts,
Preparing myself for the next stride.
It was tranquil with no voice,
Giving myself a sense of poise.
Until then,
Mrs. Mosquito came.
She circled me for a while.
As instinct drove my hand,
I thought of striking her.
But her buzzing soun...

You give me a peace of mind
Still, as sounds flow through me like ripples,
Her metronome voice glows as she talks, leaving a euphoric feeling.
Melancholy breathing hones focus to my heart beating,
Dissipating my worldly ruminations.
Lucid is how I felt after her rhythmic voice receded,
The ripples still imbued in me lingered.

A Cup of Coffee
A cup of coffee is the art of blending diversity.
Bitterness and sweetness blend in together,
A duality that creates delight in every sip.
Black and white merge,
Revealing the meaning behind every shade.
Different formulas for each connoisseur.
A cup of coffee becomes an alchemist for human senses.
Bitterness is an elixir for those who crave the essence.
Sweetness is...

The history of rock
And so, in the vastness of the ether, it rises
From the primordial silence, a resonant sound
Like thunder that splits the distant skies
The voice of the Infinite is born, unbound!
No longer the void, nor the endless shadow
But the living flame, the fire burning bright
In the dawn of the cosmos, a mighty song
Where life and death in dance unite
In the womb of the earth, the first cry
Mad...

Hotel Candles
I see us both, in time
Two candles burning
behind the thin pane window
of a seaside hotel
Outside, wind and rain
rage hard against the faded awnings
and the flaking paint
of this inclement town
Our flames shiver
then bloom again
Such is life
and slow slipping wax
I’m consumed with all our years
and all the storms
and all the fuel
we burned in our love
I see us both, in tim...

Separation
No matter how much the shouting, its the inside worth counting
Never mind harsh words of a person, their actions could never worsen
Others with a listening ear, may take away the fear
The unknown goes on behind closed doors, hiding all the flaws
Love seemed a while away, yet so did the other day
Fondness comes after the trouble, back to how things were, a couple
Smiles are exchanged, somehow...

Life in Smallville
The wind blows through the palm trees
like someone passing by without a sound,
but leaves the trace of its presence
in the song of the birds.
The sun is already low,
and the earth, warm, breathes slowly.
Each step is a reminder
that time is a road that doesn't turn back.
Life is made of small gestures:
the worker’s embrace,
the child's smile,
the gaze of the woman who makes a home a...

Nostalgia
Your nostalgia is lying to you.
Life is hard now,
But it was hard then, too.
You were just younger, dumber, more care-free.
If you knew then what you know now,
Maybe then you'd see.
You'd see the heartache;
You'd see the pain;
You'd see the way they lie and shame;
You'd see that no matter what you do,
You're always going to be you.

How much longer?
Still, as I'm placed gently, carefully, so I may not spill over,
Dial me up to medium to simmer the symposium that's eager,
Waiting patiently for my bubbles to burst, to stimulate my undying thirst.

Possibilities
In the vast plains of time, where the wind is lost
Man, with curious eyes, gazes at the horizon
And in the infinity of the sky, which stretches beyond being
Possibilities blossom, like stars in a distant night
What will become of me, in the paths of chance?
Which road, by the moonlight, will stretch before my step?
I feel in my chest the pulsing desire of a vast dream
But doubt, like fog,...

Let Roses Rain...
For me, there should be roses raining,
A sky of wonders, never waning.
The world should twist, turn on its head,
And all its worries left unsaid.
At sixteen, I dreamt with quiet fire,
To reach the heights, to never tire.
To claim my place, to stand my ground,
With every voice, I’d make a sound.
And later, I longed for something grand,
To see the world, to understand.
Not lo...

Seasonal Hate
You endure a tremendous amount of hate,
Berating your presence as soon as you wake.
Their words echo off buildings,
As the tempo of people gather in agreement.
White smoke cloaks their bodies,
Fuming like chain smokers in harmony.
The crunching of their feet fleeting,
Scurrying away to catch the heat of the bus,
Dirtying up the soft blanket you’ve given ...

Rain Check
You got alot of nerve, stirring up mess
Churning emotions til they fester and burn
Wrecking havoc, thriving in your habitual habit
Unconcerned with the environment, leaving it in misalignment
Antagonized by your exasperation
Declared our common enemy out of correlation
To fan out the flames of your generation

Joy
I can’t give up my joy
The people who surrounded me
With bad intentions
Couldn’t hold up the charade that they felt joy when I succeeded
Are deleted, blocked , ignored
I’ll never see them across my screen , my mind, in my sight
Because once I know we’re not aligned
What’s the purpose of having you near?
So you can rejoice?
About me stubbing my toe
About me getti...

Live Each Day As The Last
God presented me with a gift,
I looked at it and was surprised.
This item I couldn't manage to lift
Before I could anything realize.
Early in the morning, I made my plans.
But vanity decided to break intention.
My hopes went away with the vans.
And the prices they didn't mention.
I was quick at twenty, thirty, and so on.
I did not see the false o...

There where the Love Settled Down No Need For the Words.
Offensive words flew with such speed
Sweeping away everything in their way.
Only tears and hurts could my heart feed.
I was like a rusty anchor in the sea-bay.
"We won't see each other"- I've heard.
These were his last the cruelest words.
I wanted to howl like a wolf in the forest.
At that time even the sun was the borest.
Those words like the knives cut...

Inclined
It’s frustrating being a generational curse breaker
Ion got nobody to look up to
I’m on this back breaking, google searching “do I need a co-signer?” journey alone
I can’t stand that I don’t have a reliable person to lean on
Was I born just for the cute baby pictures and outfits that people love?
I’ll rather had y’all save that money to go into my college fund
I didn’t wanna...

Life
Life ain’t play fair
Prob be the reason why I can’t pay my fare
But somehow I still stayed loyal and fare
I always tried to get it my own,
Just so I could pay my fare
I’m down 20 to 30 in the middle of nowhere
My heart ache
The pain I just wish I could shake
I wish me and my bm
Could just relate

Unpave
Building my yellow brick road brick by brick
Making sure every brick I lay is perfectly aligned
Polished and shined according to my divine self
I take care of my road because who else ?
Will put the time, effort and care into building me
Each step I take the first brick I put into place gets further away
It’s a bitter sweet scene all the love and hardships I put into that fi...

every morning,
a parade of perfect lives,
smiles meticulously adjusted,
breakfast that looks more like a work of art,
but deep down,
it's just granola and a desperate hunt for likes.
people transform into characters,
each post a script,
each photo a scene,
life in shining squares
where reality dissolves like sugar in water.
hashtags dance on the screen,
like confetti at a birthday ...

Star-Crossed Hearts
She was poetry, a dance in the air
Moving lightly, like a verse floating there
Hair in the wind, unpretentious lines
Her smile illuminated cloudy times
He, a simple man, lived raw prose each day
With calloused hands, unaware of the way
Life in bold letters, beauty lost in the grind
Chapters predictable, meaning hard to find
At the craft fair, a sun shining bright
He watched from afar, not...

Flowers of Misfortune
In the silence that resonates,
a lament of absences,
the flowers bloom in the shadows,
whispers of a life that fades away.
Eyes searching the horizon
for a trace of hope,
but pain, like a poem,
is sculpted in the words of the day.
The city is a labyrinth of steps
that reflects solitude at every corner -
laughter dissolves in the wind
like falling petals,
disguised in the chaos.

Unexpected Feelings
Your feelings for me were beyond what you lead on
Did us talking regularly
Soften your heart unexpectedly?
Unknown to me but very known to you
It came to the point where “love you” became “I love you”
Slight change to our goodnights
Nothing to overthink
We’re friends right?
You got “busier”
Our talks lessened
I still see you partying though
I’m confused

My Way
A yellow leaf broke away from the tree.
He thought he could live now free.
But it happened a quite different way,
Without a trunk, he could helplessly lay.
Laying lonely far from the trunk
He was feeling a little bit drunk.
Even though the others were around,
His happiness was not found.
I wandered on the fallen leaves in the forest,
And the weather looked ...

I Am Nobody!
I am nobody
When my career is gone
I am nobody
When my money is gone
I am nobody
When my name is gone
I am nobody
When my body is gone
I am nobody!
I am no body?!
I am a nobody who puts some glitter on
I am a no body who I call Myself

Option 3
Am I ready for the things I acquire ?
Used to mediocre things
Not having enough money to buy what I need
My goal has always been the finer things
Wearing what I want, living where I want
It seems small but those are big to me
I don’t live above my means
Watched people go down that road
It’s not a pretty scene
I’m scared about what I would do when I acquire what ...

To suffer
Ah, to suffer,
is not just an invisible burden
that we drag through the streets of life.
It is the mark, the scar,
of existence that shapes us.
To suffer is the pain
that teaches us to see the world
with weary eyes,
where reality is not a straight line
but a labyrinth of thorns and hopes.
In the deep silence of the night,
where the moon whispers secrets of pain,
we find the echo of...

Black Fire
Everyone has a fire in their soul
A bright passion that makes them whole
An urge to follow like a fool
A desperate need to fulfill no matter how cruel
A bright spark in their eyes
A light that never dies
A wonderful dream that never lies
A reason to get up and rise
A star in their hearts to answer their wishes
A burning desire inside their chests
A cheery pe...

Echoes beneath the Shadow of Faith
The cooing of the dove grows fierce
Upon hearing that its land is no longer safe
Many have died without a trace
Many hearts have turned to ashes
The wind speaks to the dove,
"Do you not know, there is something that can wound without a cut?"
"Do you not know, there is something that can set hearts ablaze?"
"It has no form, yet it feels sharp.”
"It has no form, yet hearts struck by it fee...

Caffeine Withdrawal
Woke up, then crashed for three days in a row,
It had to be done for my well-being,
There goes my energy, out the window.
Of all the things, I ask, why must this be?
Once energizing, but now it’s draining:
Woke up, then crashed for three days in a row.
Went to bed hoping that the rain would stop.
Comes tomorrow, still welcomed by pouring;
There goes my energy, out the window.
Oh, th...

Just Another Day
There isn’t much to say today,
It’s just an ordinary day.
But I can’t get enough of it;
I wouldn’t have it any other way.
Though some spice wouldn’t be so bad,
Without spice, I would still be glad.
And if I had to make a choice,
Still, I would choose the same, with all I had.

Ancient Times
I see the past as a brighter place, noble friend
Beyond stone walls and castles old
Where hypocrisy hides in velvet’s embrace
And troubadours sing of love and sorrow bold
Life then was clear, as abundant as mead
Rich with jousts, tournaments, tales to reveal
From the heavens above to the stone floors beneath
We rode without reins, our spirits free
Love, like a magical potion, made us dre...

: The Barren Tree :
It grew in the wilds, a sentinel growing tall,
A mighty yogi in presence, embracing it all!
Branches reaching out, to the skies in a plea,
Seeking for the strength - to live it's destiny!
Its ancient bark, a wrinkled, weathered hide,
Tells a tale of the time's, swiftly flowing tide.
Inexorably which has grabbed, life in a churn,
On and onwards to - the lands of no return!

: Soliloquy :
A life had my thoughts, ephemeral and bright!
Coursing thru’ the skies, in a shimmering light.
And time reached out, in a glorious embrace;
Rushing me breathless, through empty space.
When the memories came, unbidden but true;
From the nether mind the feelings broke thru’.
Some moments to rejoice, some sharp agony.

Previous skins
Five years ago flew by
Now, already remote
The rolling of the years
They’re already afloat
Your past self
Already a ghost
When you stand still
You begin to grieve your previous skins
Wonder why you had to forget and kill
Old personalities just to multiply new
So, you cling on to specific moments
Promise not to forget, you never will
But it is not uniqu...

A Bright Day Will Come Soon
I beg you to watch the dawn,
To watch the dawn kissing the moon,
To see if the night has already gone,
And a bright day appears soon.
Just watch, how his eyes are sad,
How mother's heart pains,
How the child sleeps in bed,
How the leaf on a tree remains.
I beg you to watch the man,
Who is tired and walks blindly.
You do what you can for him,
And he wi...

someone utters my name
to be on the first day

get acquainted with
a life without my love
and then
i want it to cry
because
it really was

Marry or Divorce
If your shirt has no button
and your trousers are roughened,
if your jacket is so crushed
and your carpet needs a brush,
if you can’t find a clotheshorse
and all the time just, curse
There is only one way out:
to marry or divorce.

Life.
Life.
Every day.
Is one day closer
to you
not being anymore.
Being alive
unsure
questioning
doubting.
Nothing is ultimate
besides
this
exact
moment.
You can never go back
you can wish for it
everyday
but you can’t
and you never will.

Eyes on Me
I don’t want to be seen
I don’t want to be perceived
I wish I could go anywhere and be invisible.
People are everywhere
Eyes are everywhere
They’re all living their own lives but why do I feel as though mine is being watched?
As though they’re looking for a mistake in me
Is my hair messy?
Is my outfit mismatched?
Do I walk wei...

A talk between a young lass and an old woman
A young lass and an old woman had a talk.
A young lass confessed with confidence,
You are too old a long distance to walk,
Your legs and your breath are the evidence.
An old woman answered with a smile:
Let's wait for a while and we'll see,
Years fly and you'll have a different style.
You don't look like working as a bee.
The young lass said: I am still b...

The Sorrow of All Jews is in Your Eyes
Forgive me, God, for being so naughty,
I didn't listen to what my mum used to say.
She used to say: You are already forty,
Time to be smart and walk your way.
You didn't go to the chess club,
You had no abilities for ballet,
You were seen in the Irish pub,
You only have questions of volley.
You didn't complete your education,
You've lost a passion to stu...

A Moment Between the Past And the Future
All is so ghostly in our lives and not all is mature.
There is only a moment between the past and the future.
So, hold it with both hands and don't let it go.
And this moment is called life, and it’s not a show.
The heart won't be pleased with an eternal peace,
An eternal peace is only for the grave,
And the star that falls and breaks into pieces
It is only a blind...

A New Start is Ahead
Believe me, girl, all will be okay.
All wounds will be treated,
All grief and mistakes will go away.
The people's sins won't stay.
So, you are trying again
The things someone tried before.
Your wounded heart terribly pains,
And you surely close the door.
But remember! If the soul is kind,
It's not closed, ready to accept guests,
Your heart is not blind,
And trust in joyful fe...

I AM AN ACTRESS
I cry and you hear me laughing,
I am angry and you see me smiling,
I tell you the truth and you don’t believe,
I make mistakes and you do not forgive,
I am so weak and you say I am strong,
I am right and you say I am wrong,
I look at your eyes and you look at the floor,

I'VE LEARNED
I’ve learned to understand that…
A prohibitive degree of inner freedom –
Not a caprice but a strain.
Up to the end, it will remain!
I’ve learned to understand that….
The tales we dream up
We write out of our heads.
And…. we should cherish that!
I’ve learned to break up the rules,
So that no one should be hurt.
Using my tools,
I would like to avoid the dir...

The Petrel and the Penguin
The proud petrel
with a strong mettle
flew over the sea.
Throwing his litter on the rocks
he watched the clumsy penguin’s walks.
The stupid penguin looked at the sky.
How much he wished to fly!
He had heard
he was also a bird.
If he could fly
he would proudly throw his litter
from the bird’s eye.
The moral of this song:

The Sky is Crying With Heavy Rain
I address our Lord with a prayer.
Get us free of any evil and a liar.
Let me have enough food and bread,
So that my children could be fed.
Let the hearts of my family and friends
Never know any hurts and pains.
Keep them away from dirty hands,
And welcome the miracle of mains.
The sky is crying with heavy rain,
We have forgotten how to live.

On the border of heaven and hell
I live quite well playing the bell.
I lived like this a long time ago.
Though my soul doesn’t know the word NO.
I live a simple and ordinary life,
I sometimes love, and sometimes I strife.
But one day I’ll come to you like an actor,
For you to recognize yourself.
While my heart wounds subside
The horrible dramas preside.
