Someday
Someday, once again, I will wake
Next to a smile unfake
I will gaze upon the grace
I'll be in the happiest place
Someday, I know it, I will meet
Oh, what a wonderful treat
Standing on my own two feet
My heart will beat on an upbeat
Someday, I will look back
To the love I gave and the love I lacked
To the pain and sadness following my track
To everything that, in the end, straightened my back.
Someday, finally, I will embrace
All the things that erased the smile on my face
For I know that never will I ever break
For I know that I draw...

Awakening
I'm getting out of my misery
I'm finally getting up today
Into the world, the sky is sunny
And if I see clouds, I'll just push them away
This is my Renaissance
I'm breaking out of my trance
This shell keeping me from living
This is my Awakening
It's 4 in the morning, and my eyes are red
I'm sittin in the shower, water pouring over my head
I can't make room in my mind for happy thoughts
If my life's an ocean there's trash all along the coasts
Can't see the light, my sky is cloudy
Can't stand up, my ground is muddy
THC brain, my...

Earthlings
You should try spending several days
Watching people in the street
You'll see they all walk like zombies
They look like their hearts never beat
Don't you find it really saddening
No one ever looks like a human being
Everyone's always so scared of showing
Their emotions or their way of thinking
Try talking to a stranger
Just ask them if they ever
Stop and look up in the sky
And wonder if they could fly
If they could try to reach for the stars
Tell them it may be enough to heal their scars
They'll prolly ask you "What are...

Get Lucid
I wish I could apologize
For all the shit I've done
But I ain't done nothing wrong,
I just did nothing at all
Just like five years ago
So many times, I let go
When all I had to do
Was grab your face and kiss you,
All I did was chicken out, yo
I always say that I'll never give up
But what exactly could I give up on ?
Why do I always have to act like a pup
When decisions come charging at me head on ?
Doin' nothin' never givin' up on it,
Feelin' like I'm dreamin' I ain't got no control
Over my emotions my actions it's like I'm always on...

Ehmm.. What ?
Black widows
Hanging in the tree
Calling for an encore
Forevermore
Listen
To the sound
Of despair
Write
Until your fingers
Can't bear
Dive
Deep inside the ocean
Of your twisted mind
Let the thoughts flow
And fill the void
Let the light glow
Don't be coy
So here I go
Filled with joy
A bright light
Shining light
A brave fight
Win you might
Shit, I froze
My brain stopped in a turmoil
My engine may need some oil
I just gotta take a hit

Does love need a title ? [Part 2] (I hate titles)
This is a rewrite/sequel of my first poem that I wrote a bit more than 4 years ago. Here is the original : http://deepundergroundpoetry.com/poems/162525-does-love-need-a-title ]
I used to be only your friend
But then I got to be much more
I thought that glee would never end
Until you struck me to the core
Now I know
What you're thinking
Now I know
How you're feeling
And I don't know
Why I'm smiling
But no one knows
That I'm bleeding
And it doesn't matter
How deep the wound
'Cause what...

She's a Lady
I actually started writing this as a poem but as I went on the words starting coming to my head as rock/metal lyrics so I didn't really know whether to put it in this category or in the Love Poems category... Strangely it's kinda both and neither at the same time
Oneiric golden hair
Falling
All the way
Down to hypnotic hips
Ocean blue eyes
Gates
To the world,
And heaven, and hell.
Sweet, cristalline voice
Whispering
Instilling thoughts of joy,
Silence.

A voice so pure, ...

Boredom.Freedom
Boredom
Deadly poison
Takes you from
The real reason
You ought to
Open your eyes
Why can't you
See your demise ?
The answer
Is clear
Your laughter
Is near
True wisdom
Is fear
The unwise
Is sheer
Joy
To the ignorant
Coy
Is the savant
Freedom
Shiny valor
An escape from
That stupor
You chase the glow
With fervor
Yet you feel slow
Like a tortoise
Who did not grow
Any purpose
Already so old
Much to live for
Future bright as gold ...

Adequate propinquity
Grief is a blessing, that prepares you for any fight
It can make your eyes see the color of the night
No matter how deeply you feel chagrined
It can make your ears hear the words of the wind.
Whisper in the sky, dream of Amethyst
A violet glare shines upon my aching soul
Metaphorical blood, teardrops take their toll
Yet the French inside yells, "Ne sois pas triste !"
As always, he can't refrain
He speaks words that hit me like a freight train
"She's dead, all's dead, your pain won't fade
No weapon can...

The broken-winged phoenix
The broken-winged phoenix isn't dead, but nor is he reborn.
Indestructible weariness, faithful nemesis, mortal companion through the sweetness of nothingness.
Eternal paradox, prism with infinite facets diffracting the beams of the truth.
The blue becomes grey, the clear becomes pale.
The singed sands of time fall in slow motion.
And soon they fell no more.
The broken-winged phoenix isn't dead, but nor is he reborn.
And with its wings, has flown away his freedom.
Indestructible weariness, faithful nemesis, mortal companion through the sweetness of nothingness.
Eternal paradox, prism with infinite facets diffracting the beams of the truth.
The blue becomes grey, the clear becomes pale.
The singed sands of time fall in slow motion.
And soon they fell no more.
The broken-winged phoenix isn't dead, but nor is he reborn.
And with its wings, has flown away his freedom.

Because today is just too dumb.
All I want is to jump
To when we'll both have
changed,
Just so I can get to know you
Once again.
To when we'll both have
changed,
Just so I can get to know you
Once again.

The world we're in. [Part 1]
We're living in a world of dreams,
Because reality is not worth living in.
Behind our laughter we hide our screams,
While our sadness and rage are spreading thin.
We're trying hard to make it right,
But what can we do, as simple beings
When your whole planet has lost its bright
And has been covered with buildings ?
This world has become ill to the roots,
While the only rule left is that of terror,
Men keep marching upon Nature's fruits,
And the fox's fur sheds its blood upon its wearer.
Because reality is not worth living in.
Behind our laughter we hide our screams,
While our sadness and rage are spreading thin.
We're trying hard to make it right,
But what can we do, as simple beings
When your whole planet has lost its bright
And has been covered with buildings ?
This world has become ill to the roots,
While the only rule left is that of terror,
Men keep marching upon Nature's fruits,
And the fox's fur sheds its blood upon its wearer.
