MYSTERY
You are a mystery
The most mysterious
of all the mysteries
To have existed
You look calm
yet deep down so weird
You look humble
But deep down i feel contempt
And disgust for me
I know you dont love me
But why do you hate me
Why are you never excited to have me
Why dont you long to see me
Am i not worth it?
My only mistake
Was to like you
Your aura charmed me
Your presence tickles me
I enjoy your company
I try my best to not fall in love
But the path is slippery
Am slipping in the mud ...
The most mysterious

You look humble

I know you dont love me

Why dont you long to see me
Am i not worth it?
My only mistake

Your aura charmed me
Your presence tickles me
I enjoy your company
I try my best to not fall in love
But the path is slippery
Am slipping in the mud ...

Don't You Understand?
Those tears falling down her face,
staining her cheeks ,
preventing her words.
They are not just because she is sad.
No, rather, they're full of her emotions.
The ones the world tells her to bottle up.
Shove down.
Hide away.
It's her confidence.
Her desperation.
Her embarrassment.
She knows what she wants to say.
What she wants to shout.
Her mouth will just not form the words,
no matter how hard she tries.
Her tears are full of unspoken phrases.
Evidence of her broken heart.
And...
staining her cheeks ,
preventing her words.
They are not just because she is sad.
No, rather, they're full of her emotions.
The ones the world tells her to bottle up.
Shove down.
Hide away.
It's her confidence.
Her desperation.
Her embarrassment.
She knows what she wants to say.
What she wants to shout.
Her mouth will just not form the words,
no matter how hard she tries.
Her tears are full of unspoken phrases.
Evidence of her broken heart.
And...

there is a grave in Istanbul
There is a grave in Istanbul
He fell down the cargo hold, a long fall
the hold’s floor was made of wood and lessened
the brutal slam when he hit bottom.
He got up, waved to us and climbed the iron-
the ladder onto the deck, he said he was ok
He was not ok!
He had about him something vanishing like
his turn of service was over, all he had to do
was packing his suitcase and leaving but lingered
the ship had been his home for many months
He stood on deck on the vanishing day, looking
towards the city’s lights, he appeared...
He fell down the cargo hold, a long fall
the hold’s floor was made of wood and lessened
the brutal slam when he hit bottom.
He got up, waved to us and climbed the iron-
the ladder onto the deck, he said he was ok
He was not ok!
He had about him something vanishing like

towards the city’s lights, he appeared...

Heir of Sisyphus
My heart is in a constant struggle
A head in an endless war
And thoughts that won't cease
Each day plagued by guilt
I want to explode
Like a dying star
To create an enormous black hole
Is it enough just to try?
I attempt to be good, to laugh
It's nothing but a brittle mask
The weight of grief rests on my back
Here is the heir of Sisyphus
Rolling his stone next to his father
A head in an endless war
And thoughts that won't cease
Each day plagued by guilt
I want to explode
Like a dying star
To create an enormous black hole
Is it enough just to try?
I attempt to be good, to laugh
It's nothing but a brittle mask
The weight of grief rests on my back
Here is the heir of Sisyphus
Rolling his stone next to his father

Another cut
Right as the rain
Am I really though.
Clothed in pain.
Half tattered soul.
Is what it is
Just another notch in the belt
Another line running my wrist.
So much it's no longer felt.
Bath water blatant red.
Feeling woozy light in head.
Lay back enjoy this poem
Remember what I've said.
Am I really though.
Clothed in pain.
Half tattered soul.
Is what it is
Just another notch in the belt
Another line running my wrist.
So much it's no longer felt.
Bath water blatant red.
Feeling woozy light in head.
Lay back enjoy this poem
Remember what I've said.

Sailing or Sinking?
Clearing out my conscious seems impossible tonight
so I feign diversion for relief
All these feelings and theories of mine
seem worthless in the grand scheme
Wondering if I belong because I view this world in different hues
and most will remain blind as I struggle to find any use
Ignorance holds no candle to an enlightened soul
but still we drug ourselves and become dumbed down
Starlight eyes and an elusive mind
Hoping something might numb my brain
and remove this double-edged curse from me
Six sides of a metaphor...
so I feign diversion for relief
All these feelings and theories of mine
seem worthless in the grand scheme
Wondering if I belong because I view this world in different hues
and most will remain blind as I struggle to find any use
Ignorance holds no candle to an enlightened soul
but still we drug ourselves and become dumbed down
Starlight eyes and an elusive mind
Hoping something might numb my brain
and remove this double-edged curse from me
Six sides of a metaphor...

Eternally Waiting for You
Celeste, my love, my heart is shattered
Into a million pieces without you
I lay awake at night
Thinking of all the things I should have done differently
Memories of us linger
Like a haunting melody
I can't help but yearn
For your touch, your kiss, your body
I wake up every morning
Only to remember you're gone
And I'm forced to relive
Every bad memory of you running away
I know I made mistakes
And caused you so much pain
But darling, please believe me
I'll love you forever, in vain
The door...
Into a million pieces without you
I lay awake at night
Thinking of all the things I should have done differently
Memories of us linger
Like a haunting melody
I can't help but yearn
For your touch, your kiss, your body
I wake up every morning
Only to remember you're gone
And I'm forced to relive
Every bad memory of you running away
I know I made mistakes
And caused you so much pain
But darling, please believe me
I'll love you forever, in vain
The door...

Hopes Of Emptiness
The pot so beautiful is now shattered like a wine glass.
The paint had been worked on for years.
Now it's destroyed by fears.
The paint had been wiped by the tears she shed.
Maybe even all the promises she kept.
She could no longer keep it in her head.
And so an explosion of monsters and fears was made.
Wiping the smiles off people she had once loved.
Wiping the memories of the ones she still loved.
All of a sudden,they started acting strange.
Smiles and laughter is something they could no longer exchange.
And...

Un-Awoken
How do I find inner peace
My shakes return with ease
Chest tightens, lights flashing
Bones crack of windy leaves
My voice shutters, open mouth
My tears flutter, blank house
Limb lightens, brain crashing
Dry breath now menial dowse
I can barely hold my pen
My mind as clean as a pig-pen
Ears are clouded even open
Dreams escape un-awoken
My knees quake to give way
Will my mind return, stay
Thought frightens, marks dashing
Nightmares will not fly away
Chest tightens - Limb lightens - Though...
My shakes return with ease
Chest tightens, lights flashing
Bones crack of windy leaves
My voice shutters, open mouth
My tears flutter, blank house
Limb lightens, brain crashing
Dry breath now menial dowse
I can barely hold my pen
My mind as clean as a pig-pen
Ears are clouded even open
Dreams escape un-awoken
My knees quake to give way
Will my mind return, stay
Thought frightens, marks dashing
Nightmares will not fly away
Chest tightens - Limb lightens - Though...

HolDing The DaiSieS.
Papa and his babies,
Took along,the daisies,
Trying not 2 cry,
Inside the car.
Mother and her babies,
Took along,the daisies,
Trying not 2 cry,
Inside the car.
In the Cem-e-terry,
Papa and his babies,
Stand beside the casket,
in the ground.
Papa and his babies,
Pray,with insincerity,
Hoping they,
Can get back,
2 normal life.

Gaza
Ocean’s breakers rule the coastline that guards
The land from sliding into the sea
Shallow water and sand dunes were once lands
The sea dastardly pilfered and demanded.
The breakers have broken all, yet want more
The foam of greed is in the breakers’ soul
Ocean’s breakers rule the coastline that guards
The land from sliding into the sea
Shallow water and sand dunes were once lands
The sea dastardly pilfered and demanded.
The breakers have broken all, yet want more
The foam of greed is in the breakers’ soul

Eaten
I miss myself when I was whole
Drown myself quicksand of coal
Collapse under pressure-heat
Transfer existence of fleshless meat
Figment of my imagination weak
Mental gymnastics, public feat
Hide myself behind cold lies
Eat my soul as I cannot find
Will I ever be myself
Die again to ring the bells
What shall I say in the future
Tear out all my dirty sutures
I want to be honest with someone
I want my mind to be undone
I want myself to be heard
No longer with plain butchered
Send it all - End...
Drown myself quicksand of coal
Collapse under pressure-heat
Transfer existence of fleshless meat
Figment of my imagination weak
Mental gymnastics, public feat
Hide myself behind cold lies
Eat my soul as I cannot find
Will I ever be myself
Die again to ring the bells
What shall I say in the future
Tear out all my dirty sutures
I want to be honest with someone
I want my mind to be undone
I want myself to be heard
No longer with plain butchered
Send it all - End...
