Take me back
Take me back
To those vapor nights
That evaporated
With such ease
Back when summer
Reigned with might
And winter
Melted into the seas
Formless figures
Floated free
And whispered
Fathoms sound
The sky did
Freedoms colors bleed
And love
Spread all around
Before vengeful violence
Spread so fast
Like fire
Lit gasoline
When hatreds empire
Grew too vast
And in our hearts
Did cling
Take me back
To a time that's pure
Raw
With...

And love
Spread all around

freedom
not sure what i can say
sometimes i wonder what you're doing today
sometimes our memories get me down
i start to frown
i wish the best
maybe i need some rest
doesn't mean I'm not in pain
waiting for the rain
as I'm thinking I feel a sense of freedom
i am in charge of my own kingdom
you were the one that chose it this way
so now i have to keep you at bay
I'm, not the one stuck
in a rut
you are in...

cutting people off
i feel so exhausted
i feel so haunted
don't have the energy no more
you're no good for my core
I'm cutting off people one by one
those who don't serve as good energy for me 1 2 3 you're gone
i don't like being this blunt
i try to be nice I'm not fake this is not a stunt
i think I'm better off alone
instead of dealing with drama, i stay to myself at home
there are some who talk to me when they need something
they never ask how I'm doing or there...

Codependency
there are reasons i do relate to the charater harley quinn
i feel for some time without realizing it i lost myself in another
i have done some sins
the truth is to be uncovered
i still cry alot about this situttion
which is ok i am not ashamed
the jokes on you
i always had to be around youi know so lame
no more protecting you or covering up your mess
i have to let you learn on your own
my love has been put to rest
my heart turned cold

Fate
Bumbum, bumbum........ bumbum, bumbum..........ssssshhhhhhhhhhh I cant hear over this drumming in my ears.
Dead stare, eyes fixed and glazed, senses sharp as I listen. With each roar of every passing car my heart thumps,, bumbum bumbum...
I am ready, I am prepared, I have accepted that my fate is not a straight path, there is a fork in this road that I shall often pass.
A sharpened tongue cuts away at my courage, a firm strong hand pushes through my defenses..
A glare so intense and engorged with anger cripples my constitution,
I am...

Flying Free
Some days I want to scream.
On the days that I need to scream, I write the screams out instead.
Writing is the outlet that reading cannot be. Writing allows me to create a new world and create a new life. Reading allows me to escape and hide in a new world.
Reading is the outlet that allows me to escape the little fires that flare up in the world while writing is the outlet that puts out the raging wildfire in my heart. A wildfire needs a fire hose while a candle only needs a little rain.
The ease of slipping and falling into a new book...

Mindset
Case closed but remain unsolved.
Closing cases before even looking into it.
Like students that claim to have read a book, by only look at it´s cover.
That´s CPD´s schedule but sometimes, they choose to do an effort.
My mind is like Chicago, it´s a maze.
Every path is designed to misstep.
God send Satan to collect his soul but I created a pathway back to hell.
If you ever get stuck in it, don´t pray for god.
You´ll summon something Baphomet don´t even dare to look in the eyes.
God send Jesus to bless this labyrinth but it´s creature is...

New Car
first gear, second gear
third gear, fourth
fifth gear, drive away
on the road north
on the right mountains rise
on the left the sea
up and down, curve around
just the car and me
on and on another song
is playing on the phone
music which was downloaded
when I was at home
up above two eagles soar
as I drive beneath
where they fly in the sky
a vision which is brief
fourth gear, third gear
second gear, then stop
reaching Lions Bay Cafe
parking by the shop ...

Strain (on the) MainFrame
mercy's echo
moves too quick gone
too soon
how to reconcile at such
a vel
o ci ty
blindly all knowing as to
know
no thing in truth's true thing
an ill'usion
a folk'lore
of all the foot'falling
it took (takes taken ) to
get
our hell

deaths that fail
♪a rhymed, mirrored octet♪
my
scars are
b e a u t i f u l !
read each etching,
drink its lovely t a l e:
pain bent into p u r p o s e.
thus may broken spirits learn
lessons from old, worn-out feelings,
mother-earth-endowed with healings.
tho enflamed where passions burn,
scars are merely s u r p l u s
from the deaths that fail,
deeply sketching,
d u t i f u l,
each war
cry.

46th [dreams of freedom.] I am woman, hear her roar
Through divided darkness
these two now rise
46th time
A new leader cries!
The glass ceiling cracks
HER voice is shown
A Vice Presidential first
FINALLY
Women's roar is known
these two now rise
46th time
A new leader cries!
The glass ceiling cracks
HER voice is shown
A Vice Presidential first
FINALLY
Women's roar is known
