Waiting
I sit on the platform, alone in the dust,
Where the wind whispers secrets, and the earth turns to rust.
I chose this place, far from the crowd,
A ghost of a dream, where hope’s still loud.
We spoke of a future, a place to call ours,
But now it’s just silence, beneath the cold stars.
I build on this land, so barren and dry,
Where the echoes of “us” are the only reply.
I turn to the road, where nothing appears,
Just the empty horizon stretching for years.
The silence stretches like a noose around me,
A soldier lost, or perhaps...
Where the wind whispers secrets, and the earth turns to rust.
I chose this place, far from the crowd,
A ghost of a dream, where hope’s still loud.
We spoke of a future, a place to call ours,
But now it’s just silence, beneath the cold stars.
I build on this land, so barren and dry,
Where the echoes of “us” are the only reply.
I turn to the road, where nothing appears,
Just the empty horizon stretching for years.
The silence stretches like a noose around me,
A soldier lost, or perhaps...

I Don't Want To Be Studied
I don't want to be studied,
laid bare beneath your judgemental ways,
each mumbled word, each clumsy deed,
examined in a critical haze.
You pick apart my every thought,
my motivations, deep inside,
as if some hidden lesson's taught,
in how my restless feelings ride.
I don't want to be a puzzle,
a complex problem you must solve,
my thoughts a landscape, rough and subtle,
not something neat to resolve.
You search for patterns, hidden flaws,
the reasons why we couldn't stay,
ignoring nature's...

SALTY WIND
Salty wind
Caught in her silky hair
Smells the same
As my salty skin
When it was breathing love
The salty scent so sweet
Wrapped in the color of my flawless mind
That was imprinted in her memories
As a passport to paradise
Caught in her silky hair
Smells the same
As my salty skin
When it was breathing love
The salty scent so sweet
Wrapped in the color of my flawless mind
That was imprinted in her memories
As a passport to paradise

Eyes Cloudy
Eyes once bright with sunlight.
Now clouded with thunderstorms.
Stormy arguments on our horizon,
I don’t understand what happened to us.
Eyes once serenely an oasis.
Now a tempest booms in our hearts.
Hues of rage and sorrow paint our horizon,
I’m confounded whether we’ll be the same.
Now clouded with thunderstorms.
Stormy arguments on our horizon,
I don’t understand what happened to us.
Eyes once serenely an oasis.
Now a tempest booms in our hearts.
Hues of rage and sorrow paint our horizon,
I’m confounded whether we’ll be the same.

Fall in Love; At Your Own Detriment
They say love’s a river; soft and wide...
A tender tide; a gentle guide
But heed me well; O foolish heart;
For love will tear your world apart
It starts with whispers; sweet and light...
A fevered dream; a stolen night
You build your castle; stone by stone...
Yet wake to find you’ve wept alone
Their words like silk; their touch like fire...
You drink the lie; consumed by desire
You trade your will; you bend; you break...
And still; you give; though much they take
They hold you close; they make you whole...
Then...
A tender tide; a gentle guide
But heed me well; O foolish heart;
For love will tear your world apart
It starts with whispers; sweet and light...
A fevered dream; a stolen night
You build your castle; stone by stone...
Yet wake to find you’ve wept alone
Their words like silk; their touch like fire...
You drink the lie; consumed by desire
You trade your will; you bend; you break...
And still; you give; though much they take
They hold you close; they make you whole...
Then...

The pain that is love
Love is all around us
Like a serial killer
At least the killer kills you
Love just bleeds you slow
A slow, painful torture
You'll wish for death
Like a serial killer
At least the killer kills you
Love just bleeds you slow
A slow, painful torture
You'll wish for death

It Is What It Is
What’s my next move?
I’m scared to dip my toe,
Petrified of every step,
Afraid of what I’ll never know.
But it’s necessary,
I can’t stay in your shadow,
There’s more to life than what you gave,
I need to find it, to let go.
My heart hurts, whether you see or not,
But let’s not dwell in all the ugly,
I won’t point fingers, or play the violin,
No, I owe no one an explanation.
If they ask, I’ll simply say—
It is what it is, and nothing more,
No excuses needed, not...

DANCING ON YOUR GRAVE
Oh no I’ve been so bad
thought things I can’t take back
But I want what I can’t have
cos I can’t have it
Now I’m drowning in the sea
of my secret jealousy
this never used to be me
but its a habit
Oh it seems you live my dreams
The whole crowd screams tonight
But I’m in town to steal your crown
I see my name in lights
Everything has a price
even in paradise
I see you with my own eyes
abusing power
Oh I know you thought this show
would last another night
but I’m in town to steal your crown
I see...
thought things I can’t take back
But I want what I can’t have
cos I can’t have it
Now I’m drowning in the sea

this never used to be me
but its a habit
Oh it seems you live my dreams
The whole crowd screams tonight
But I’m in town to steal your crown
I see my name in lights
Everything has a price

I adore you, more than I implore
I adore something
I no longer have the privilege to explore
I lived off what was implored for so long
I forgot what I was doing it for
Let it be, ignore what I see
Act like it was never meant to be
Especially when it’s not good for me
But there’s so much in between
I want to change
I want to be this something
But I am nothing and everything
And that’s all I’ll ever be
I wish you never witnessed me
I no longer have the privilege to explore
I lived off what was implored for so long
I forgot what I was doing it for
Let it be, ignore what I see
Act like it was never meant to be
Especially when it’s not good for me
But there’s so much in between
I want to change
I want to be this something
But I am nothing and everything
And that’s all I’ll ever be

The Divorce
When it happened, I was very angry and I was also stunned.
My wife filed for a divorce just because Donald Trump won.
My wife is smart, sophisticated and she's also very pretty.
But I learned that she's also superficial, shallow and petty.
My mother always told me to appreciate what I've got.
But if you're wondering if I still appreciate my wife, I sure as hell do not.
When she broke my heart, she didn't even feel remorse.
After seventeen years of marriage, she filed for a divorce.

Last word
As I take pen in hand
To write but one final verse
I stop to read your text
Examine your photos
The love begins to poor
From my eyes as rain
My hands begin to shake
Knowing this is but a farewell
It becomes hard to breathe
Catching my breath
Becoming impossible to breathe
Empty time will fill the void
As you slip thru my hands
Putting down the pen
Unable to write
I see now that was once unclear
You were never mine
To have and to hold
Till death do us part
It was but a dream

Healing
Healing is such a complicated journey as no human being is given the same hand of cards to play in the game of life.
I always thought that with time, the wounds from a perticular breakup, would hurt less and the blood would dissipate in a vague memory tucked in its own understanding of the traces it left behind.
I never came to terms with why that specific relationship, affected my soul in such a powerful manner. The colors were brighter with him and the melody euphonious. Aromas of life exhilirated my spirit, whenever he was around.
