Oh sunshine of mine,
The clouds cleared and you were gone.
What happened to make you go back to the night?

Because "blind" is not a four letter word,
     and you can't hear
     a thing I'm saying.
Because life is an object,
     and your soul is taken
     for granted when you say
     you don't care.
Because you'll always be
     and that's how you'll come to find
     that the world doesn't adjust,
     you do.
Because from now on
     there's nothing stopping you
     from making your own choices.
Because that's life
     and everyone's alone
     at one point or another.

According to the rules of logic
Everyone should have clear and rational thinking
According to the rules fairness
There should be absence of bias in everyday living
According to the rules of  reason
There should be justification for everything you’re causing
According to the rules of freedom
Everyone should speak, act and think without restraining

The beauty is
I wrote you a poem
You didn’t understand.
You couldn’t answer
My question
Because you didn’t know
I asked one.
Therefore I don’t know
The truth
Or how to ask you
In a way
That you’ll understand.
Because you don’t
Seem to understand much.
What was this involuntary
Movement towards the
Imaterial part of me?
Or was it in fact
Voluntary?
How will you understand
I was talking about my
Soul?

Alas,
He was shot to hell
Burned before he could tell
Choked before he could yell
Held back before he could rebel
Tied down before he could compel
His soul, forced to expel

Dear Cancer,

I write this letter with nothing but sincerity and honesty. I think it’s time to say that no one likes you. And you should go the **** home. You’ve caused nothing but unpleasantness and to state the truth, you were never welcome here, or anywhere. You’ve successfully decayed our humour and allow us to frequently use indecent and ****** words. For the futur, keep in mind that you will never be greeted with a smile or the slightest salut. You will forever be cursed upon, as I am cursing you now. You’re the best at ruining lives, and you’re even better at causing misery than you are at tearing out hearts. I’ve got the last words this time. *******, you will not ruin her.

Sincerely,
I hate you.

till you defy gravity
break all the rules

live by your own

though a map may
come in handy
to mark where
you've already been.

remember the one
behind you
what has been

what is, is.

All of the times you
Lay in bed
Wishing you were elsewhere
Admiring people who
Yearn for realty, being
Somebody they hoped they would be.

None of the things you
Ever thought would come from such
Vast options are proven to be
Everlasting and will always
R**emain part of your self.

In time we all get what we want,
For now, it's limited to what we need.
Want is not but a desire to possess,
But how long will it really take
To get something you long for?

To be the person you despise,
Would mean praising the ******.
Never come close to the point of attack,
For all you know, it's just a hex.
Be not afraid of the curse, it's not of your concern.

Write me something clever,
Or write me anything at all.
The words do not matter,
More than anything that falls.

Write me something clever,
Something I will always remember,
Write me anything at all.
Doesn't have to be  cordial.

Write me something clever,
Only for my perusal,
Or for everyone to pore over.
Write me anything at all.

The world in your hands,
What to do next?
You hold all the clocks ever made,
All the time in the world
Is now yours.
You can do anything,
Eat the cookie and be
Anywhere at any time.
Make sure not to fall,
Then all would know
The truth behind those eyes,
You know their secrets,
They don't know yours,
You hold their life in your hands.

Living in fear
Remember who you hold dear
The ones that let you down
Will only do it again
Don’t avoid the words
The actions of those who care
The lies from the ones who don’t
Know the only reason they have
To get close to you
Ego trips.
Cherry pickers.
Nothing but insecurities
Every aspect put up for the
World to see
Don’t judge those who keep far
They know best
Till the day they come to see
Come to live like the rest.
Nothing but gratification.
Loss of love
Loss of soul
Empty thoughts
And nothing but keepsake hearts
Internal clocks ticking
To announce the day that will come
Sooner than later
And everyone will see the real truth
Beneath all their talk
The end of the show
Surprised no one showed for the
Curtain call?

Awaking in a startle,
Feeling as if I’m drowning.
It’s not a good feeling,
Knowing today you’re leaving.

Walking down the stairs,
I know where you’re sleeping,
I sit beside you, you’re eyes still opening,
Knowing today you’re leaving.

Kissing you in the dark,
I know well, this feeling.
Certainly the world is not ending,
But I know, today, you’re leaving.

It’s not a good feeling,
Knowing you’re gone.
Knowing you’ll be back,
Is what keeps me going on.

I loved you yesterday,
Love you a little more today,
And if it’s possible,
It’ll grow a little more tomorrow.

Bring
All you can,
Never
Knowing what

You don't.
Over thinking,
Under consideration. an exact
Replica of what

Transgressed.
Hounding her soul
Overtly.
Under influences, you couldn't
Gather your words.
Heroics you
Thought necessary, what a
S**hame.

You, the best of my friends,
are the definition of audacious.
Be bold, take risks, you might take notice..
Yet again maybe not.
Willing, I am, to show you love,
But would you ever really know?
Brash, you may be.
I feel for you more than you surmise.
Tell me again you love me.
Tell me again you hate me.
I'd like to say I only want to you to be happy,
But would that be in true honesty?

Grand desires and
Irritable matters.
Restrained words from
An opposed perception.
Fly with the birds,
Flirt with the devil.
Ever long dreams and
Shattered hopes for tomorrow.

I'll write out all the *******
Because that's what I told you to do
When you told me you were blocked
So now you're giving me a taste
Of my own medicine.
Then help me write out all the *******,
Because I believe you're the reason I can't write,
You're blocking my mind,
And I want nothing more
Than to hear your ideas
To hear your voice
To see your lips move
As I imagine them upon my own
So help me write out all the *******.

Dates are irrelevant,
For now.
One day they will matter.
When someone forgets
Your birthday.
But that's only because
You pay too much attention.
If you hadn't known the date,
You never would have noticed,
Never would be stressing
That you're getting older,
That you've lost your youth,
Because you'd still be living it,
Not knowing who's birthday
You've forgotten,
And not having them remind you.

Catching colors from the sky
The happiness you bring is nothing close to a lie
You’ve always been here
You’ll always be near
Catching colors from the sky
Catching my tears when I cry
You’ve always been here
I’ll always hold you dear
Catching colors from the sky
Make me believe I can fly
You’ve always been here
You’ve always been sincere
Catching colors from the sky
I won’t say goodbye
You’ve always been here
Chasing away my fear

A magnet that is the centre,
The centre of the earth,
The earth that holds us all,
All of us and why,
Why you?

Only for the world to see,

As you're debating for indifference.

Keep your head up.

Don't forget who knows.

It's never too late to know what you should have known before.

Stop being so drastic.
Before the end:
Keep calm and quit giving a ****.
Bottom line:
You should have known before.

Someone is getting the part of you I want,
Someone is getting all of you and I’m left with what?

They just don’t know it.

Don’t ask for reasons why

Never to scream or cry,
Never leave the sky.

Try* not to let me down,
But climb yourself up,
The ladder reaches the clouds.

Though the clouds,
We believe we cannot attain,
With all our might may we try.

I can tell you this right now,
If you let me hang on your leg,
You'll never reach the 1000th step.

Leave me behind for now,
When you end up on a wide enough step,
Sit and wait for me.

I'll catch up,
Sooner rather than later,
And I'll let you take hold of my foot.

Being less than nothing to someone
Means being more than everything.
If they have to think that hard
To hate you that much,
To have such an intense dislike
There has to be some passion there,
You don't forget the ones you hate.

Hate is,
       fear
   the same ache
         of the            heart like
     the world end
   stood-up
                   dogged by alcool
Your            heart-beat, out of time,
                  from any        other

              you      a sore friend
            stopped
           you drink until                  it
    goes away
Until,
you stagger freely,
the              world's end.
To see how this was originally done, by scratching out words.

I'll shut everything off
Because I don't want to think
About you anymore,
And it just so happens
That everywhere I look

The things you do,
Then I realize,
I probably won't forget
Any day soon.

Smoke a little
**** a litte
Keep a little
Give a little
Love more

Sand falls from hands
Because that is not what they are meant to hold
Hands grasp chests
Because that is the natural magnet
Hands hold hands
Because they’re fitted for each other
Four fingers just in case
But one thumb per hand
Because there’s really only one
Two hands
Because everyone deserves a second chance.

You don't choose according to the majority.
You choose to make the majority.
You choose to say ******* when someone tells you what you should do.
You choose to make your own choices.

I'm fluent in silence,
I'm also fluent in french and english,
And not afraid to tell you what I think.
Though sometimes no words are the best words.

Be the alfa male.

How willing are you,
To give your life,
To a complete stranger?

Now would you change
Your mind if you knew
This person could change

The World
For the better of humanity,
For a better way of life.

Could and would have
Two different meanings,
Two different extremities.

Would you change your mind,
If you knew they would
Change the world?

in the graveyard of lost souls,
lies the lives no one cared to hold,
maybe the fear was too much,
or we just didn't care enough,
but it doesn't matter now,
they're gone forever, but how?
were they exiled by the one they loved,
perhaps ****** by the one above.
most will be forgotten,
all are left for rotten,
if you'd cared sufficiently,
their lives may not have ended so abruptly.

Struggling like a caged parakeet to find your way in this world,
-- Or out of this world?
You have no concept of confinement, are ignorant to its terms.
No realization that there is nothing else.
The struggle is useless.
This feeling of depression and anxiety quickens your pulse.
Until -- at last -- you reach your goal.
This, somehow, makes me wonder what hell must be like.

As you recite simple words

As you rush by and let it linger in my nostrils
I’m addicted to everything you do
because I’m addicted to you

But somehow where I need to be is without you,

Didn't understand those times that were few.

Not the end you expected from such a great beginning
You just didn't realize what happened in the middle
Of it all.
I easily picked up your life in my hands,
Later smashed it against the curb,
Your words, not mine.

I'm sorry I broke you,
I'm sorry you didn't kiss me like you meant it,
I'm sorry about your relationship with your mother,
I'm sorry you have no respect for authority,
I'm sorry you don't really appreciate music,
I'm sorry you left me one night to go get high,
I'm sorry you hate me when I'm moody,
I'm sorry I,m better off without you,
I'm sorry you don't want me to go,
I'm sorry I'm through with being sorry.

Your sacramental slant;
Surrender to pleasure,
The oblique and understated; love.

Blue hesitation, resonant,
Where I couldn't miss
Surrender to pleasure,

Understated
Under-rated

Introducing the subconscious
Where the ideas lie
And the person differs
From the abnormal.
A contrast with the formal
Unbeknownst to anyone credential
Live high and mighty
Get through the fighting
Nothing lies above
Nothing lies beneath
Introducing the subconscious
Where the ideas lie.

Hugging and Kissing
need not be fatal.
Cutting off breathing.
What to do when the pains come?
Remember to stay on your feet.
Carrying a bag of gold,
Remember, it'll never be too late.

“So where’s the problem here she asked,”
“I’m not sure anymore, it ran away with my heart.
Right after it ripped it out.”

It’s once again broken,
Though I know it can be repaired,
The battle wounds will never be restored.

Turning the keys will never be the same.
Though the melody will sing,
The song will never be comparable.

You will never know how it feels.
Never realize the discomfort,
Unless you too, had to endure a broken guitar.

How far would you go,
How much would you give,
To know one hundred p.cent,
That love is real?

And still then,
In this world filled
With lies and insecurities,
Would you be able to believe?

They, the know-it-alls,
Will certainly tell you,
Assure you with all their might,
That god does exist.

But deep down,
Down that pit
You call your soul,
Do you really think anything's real?
