The Anecdote
I took the memory backwards
Just to remind myself that your face is the most beautiful I have ever seen
Not that it's pretty, only;
Showed up through the window
Like an early morning sun breaking through the mountains
But the things it brought upon my feeble heart never die
How your smile lighted up my world
How your words dived through my ears
Like a lyrical song
And how your eyes brightened
like a sky full of stars
Just to remind myself that your face is the most beautiful I have ever seen
Not that it's pretty, only;
Showed up through the window
Like an early morning sun breaking through the mountains
But the things it brought upon my feeble heart never die
How your smile lighted up my world
How your words dived through my ears
Like a lyrical song
And how your eyes brightened
like a sky full of stars

ABCDEFGH
A wants B.
B does not want A, wants C.
C wants D and D needs E.
E doesn't want A, B, C, D, or even F, G, H.
Imagine if B gave a chance to A instead of criticizing its ladder shape. Or A meets C, D, or F instead of focusing on B.

a blank of an eye
Ego: “Stop what you are doing!”
Superego: “Now I feel a bit relieved, I think we’re on the right path”
Id: “You don’t actually know what it’s like to be at the backward seat looking at yourself performing a stupid future show, What’s going on?!”
Ego: “You’re humiliating us, again. That performance is what’s keeping you alive, otherwise we’d have been dead years now”
Id: “I mean look at me there. God knows how much better I am here. You can’t even imagine how much you suck at acting. Really!”
Ego: “When you find ME a better place I could probably take some rest, I...

Liquify
You got the stuff mixed
Fixed to bind your mind
Mind if I give a hand?
Band you with this rope
Pour the tears out of your blinded eyes.
Hmm.. iced mixed liquid yet iced.
I said, mind if I take another look?
The closest you come the wet you get
Can't you see! I'm the luck
Look, it's locked and I'm Time.
Clock.. clock.. time is running.

I'm Black
Until the lights die,
I wake up.
I hold the peace until evil rise up
If this is us, I’d rather be gone
Curse me the rest of this day
Yet you know me not
You call upon my skin
I treated you none
You pushed me, and I’m fallen
Eye and eye
Heart to heart
Breath and breath
Yet, you compare.
I wake up.
I hold the peace until evil rise up
If this is us, I’d rather be gone
Curse me the rest of this day
Yet you know me not
You call upon my skin
I treated you none
You pushed me, and I’m fallen
Eye and eye
Heart to heart
Breath and breath
Yet, you compare.

SELF POEM

Worried
Now that it is the time to be,
Or not to be.
Or that it is the time to decide,
Or leave things shattered.
Now that it’s time to paddle
Against the wave, and the big sea
Or that I sink to join the wrecks
Nothing seems to change me,
I am the solid man, I never change.
For that I have been is just illusions
Fading away to uncover the dirt
Nothing seems right, for I,
Who am I after all?
Sad? Happy? Does it count,
When I am that I could not escape?
Or that I am, I should say, is sanity and sinfulness.
Or not to be.
Or that it is the time to decide,
Or leave things shattered.
Now that it’s time to paddle
Against the wave, and the big sea
Or that I sink to join the wrecks
Nothing seems to change me,
I am the solid man, I never change.
For that I have been is just illusions
Fading away to uncover the dirt
Nothing seems right, for I,
Who am I after all?
Sad? Happy? Does it count,
When I am that I could not escape?
Or that I am, I should say, is sanity and sinfulness.

REVERSAL
This one shot I got
Is fading away
Just don’t hold to me
I’ll be on my way
I just got some feelings
Bringing me down
Just don’t hold to me
I’m broken inside
I seek to exist
I just need an exit
Just don’t hold to me
I’m leaving you away
I’m living my way
This one shot I got
Is falling apart
Wish I could be there
Wish I could see you
Once again in my eyes
This one shot I got
Is bringing me down.
Is fading away
Just don’t hold to me
I’ll be on my way
I just got some feelings
Bringing me down
Just don’t hold to me
I’m broken inside
I seek to exist
I just need an exit
Just don’t hold to me
I’m leaving you away
I’m living my way
This one shot I got
Is falling apart
Wish I could be there
Wish I could see you
Once again in my eyes
This one shot I got
Is bringing me down.

LOVE POEM

30th Aug 2018 5:27pm
All in Vain
We picked up words
knowing they're shallow
Wrong for right
Or probably we knew
but no more possible.
Cause we never said the truth
We doomed this, again.
And nothing is what we gained
All in vain
All in vain.
knowing they're shallow
Wrong for right
Or probably we knew
but no more possible.
Cause we never said the truth
We doomed this, again.
And nothing is what we gained
All in vain
All in vain.

Rainfall
We met under the shooting rain
I looked up at your face
Watching the raindrops running down your lips
I felt thirsty
You knew it
And you kissed me.
Your body ashes out of cold
I knew it
Then I hugged you tight
I looked up at your face
Watching the raindrops running down your lips
I felt thirsty
You knew it
And you kissed me.
Your body ashes out of cold
I knew it
Then I hugged you tight

The Beginning
To the tree we first met under, I hang myself.
With the rope twice attached to my neck, I strengthened,
and let go out of this foppish shape,
killing it,
moulding it to suit the grave
For I no longer bear the frowns
Nor I float on the sea
Unable to bear away, I sank
And for my soul to sustain,
witnessing the bygones,
I gave up on my heart
to feed the snakes under the ground.
With the rope twice attached to my neck, I strengthened,
and let go out of this foppish shape,

Nor I float on the sea
Unable to bear away, I sank
And for my soul to sustain,
witnessing the bygones,
I gave up on my heart
to feed the snakes under the ground.
