Poet Introduction
I write ever since I know myself. This doesn't mean that I write a lot, I don't actually, but I still have a pen and paper under my pillow, just in case, if you know what I mean. I like to express myself through poetry. It's my safe heaven.

I am...
.. the shadows cast on your bedroom window, the air you breathe in as you fall asleep, i am the morning dew shivering from a leaf of the dark rose on your pillow, i am the prey that can't escape your thoughts, the ghost that haunts your heart, i am just a dream far away from here...

Maybe (collaboration with JD)
If I were the rocks at her feet
Holding her ground when it's too shaky
When she had seen too much of the world's deceit
When she feels her homeless heart breakin'
If I were the soil underneath
Nourishing her desiccated roots
When she's struggling to breathe
Under the weight of life's boots
If I were the sun lighting up her way
In her darkest hours of her darkest thoughts
Warming her pretty pettels so frail
To give her the comfort she sought
If I were her wind to carry her voice
The cool breeze above her...
Holding her ground when it's too shaky
When she had seen too much of the world's deceit
When she feels her homeless heart breakin'
If I were the soil underneath
Nourishing her desiccated roots
When she's struggling to breathe
Under the weight of life's boots
If I were the sun lighting up her way
In her darkest hours of her darkest thoughts
Warming her pretty pettels so frail
To give her the comfort she sought
If I were her wind to carry her voice
The cool breeze above her...

tonight
tonight the stars twinkle no more
as my moon bleeds down the sky
there's no thing left fighting for
no thing to wipe my eyes dry
the lurking darkness inside
spread its hollow limbs all over
a heart that relentlessly sighed
beseeching some closure
tonight I disappear
into the thin air
tonight I fear
no more the flare
of dread and pain
tonight desolation is my friend
silently pacing by my side
until I find my endless end
with my broken pieces collide
tonight I disappear
into...
as my moon bleeds down the sky
there's no thing left fighting for
no thing to wipe my eyes dry
the lurking darkness inside
spread its hollow limbs all over
a heart that relentlessly sighed
beseeching some closure
tonight I disappear
into the thin air
tonight I fear
no more the flare
of dread and pain
tonight desolation is my friend
silently pacing by my side
until I find my endless end
with my broken pieces collide
tonight I disappear

storm
I'm caught up in this storm
On my way home
It's pouring down my tears
Flooding my eyes for years
Years of constant fears
Shriek of terror in my ears
And the anxiety that crawls in
All over my decayed skin
I'ma carve it out
There's no doubt
I just need to cut deep
Enough - I'm a creep
A few more steps up the ridge
No more pain in this glitch
I'm living day by day
My fix is on the way
Thunders roar
Down the shore
From crimson clouds
Numbing shouts
Of my...
On my way home
It's pouring down my tears
Flooding my eyes for years
Years of constant fears
Shriek of terror in my ears
And the anxiety that crawls in
All over my decayed skin
I'ma carve it out
There's no doubt
I just need to cut deep
Enough - I'm a creep
A few more steps up the ridge
No more pain in this glitch

Down the shore

Embrace
how do I set my thoughts on fire
and watch them dance on the sky
how do I unfeel a dreadful desire
of ever wanting to die
die by choking, die by bleeding
die as I am a miserable mistake
never enough - always weeping
over some trite heartache
ache is my new best friend
bound together now and hereafter
till all my hopes meet an end
and my insanity bursts in laughter
laughter's all behind my back
how could I be so naive
again to fall to the same trap
yet I still believe - I believe
I...

bound together now and hereafter

and my insanity bursts in laughter
laughter's all behind my back

beautiful beeing
one of a kind
cursed with the gift of seeing
even though she was blind
braided golden hair locks
fell on her pale shoulders
her blue gaze like the hawk's
never revealed to others
she walked this earth
knowing the future
yet she gave birth
to this peerless culture
she taught them
to read and to write
only to cause mayhem
in the turning of twilight
she's still watching
from somewhere afar
what life is like living
trapped in a jar
one of a kind
cursed with the gift of seeing
even though she was blind
braided golden hair locks
fell on her pale shoulders
her blue gaze like the hawk's
never revealed to others
she walked this earth
knowing the future
yet she gave birth
to this peerless culture
she taught them
to read and to write
only to cause mayhem
in the turning of twilight
she's still watching
from somewhere afar
what life is like living

Sunlit
I stared into those glassy eyes
and I cried cried cried
my tears dripping right inside
wishing to make them alive
even for a single second
I craved to fill the emptiness
to find the missing bond
feel less of the mess
then I closed them lids
as if sleeping they would say
but they felt heavy amidst
this forsaken sunlit day
I heard chatter from afar
gibberish and some laughter
I could not make sense at all
of this forever after
they lowered the coffin
deep into the ground

oblivion
did you know
every single time I close my eyes
I see life struggle to stay inside
them cold inert bodies
I see calamities
fires scorching
razing the everything
to the ground
into the ashes astound
lies the dessicated rainfall
soaked in blood
as it carves out the craving appetite
for eternal night
did you know
every single time I take a breath
I bathe in the Lethe
its ice cold strokes running all over
all the forgotten smoulder
a faint memory
of what it used to be
yet still there ...
every single time I close my eyes

gone insane
it's been once, twice, three times, four
and I can't, I can't take this anymore
the heartbeats were thumping anxiously in my head
then there's the click, infernal silence, and finally the bang
the bullet went straight through my core
dispersing the flesh around it on the floor
I hit the ground still breathing, still alive
the smell of dirt forced its way inside
and I was wheezing, choking on my blood
awaiting the end unbound
I felt its moist warmth on my skin
then saw it blend into the earth under me
then the sirens were...
and I can't, I can't take this anymore
the heartbeats were thumping anxiously in my head
then there's the click, infernal silence, and finally the bang
the bullet went straight through my core
dispersing the flesh around it on the floor
I hit the ground still breathing, still alive
the smell of dirt forced its way inside
and I was wheezing, choking on my blood
awaiting the end unbound
I felt its moist warmth on my skin
then saw it blend into the earth under me

blue rabbit
unwanted
sitting in the mud
waiting for a hug
waiting for someone
even though it knows there really is none
to laugh with
to cuddle with
to be with
to love
if only
if only it wouldn't be so lonely
thrown away
yet searching for a reason to stay
searching to share the darkness
the useless uselessness
the emptiness
the mess
if only
if only she could feel mercy
but she passed by
chasing a butterfly
faded
nothing but an old cur
its once fluffy sleeky fur
now...

it
it has caught me, ripping me apart
somehow I knew from the start
and still, I went forward
hoping I could change a heart
I was stubborn going ahead
imagining I can better the bad
yet I've lost my head
in the devious process instead
I followed my ethics every day
thinking it was the right way
but it has caught me today
and I'm afraid I won't get away
what a shame, what a shame
my days are all the same
every one of them so lame
goes by as they came
I'm a prisoner of my own mind ...
