Story on the Floor

It’s not that I’ve forgotten thee

It’s not that I’ve forgotten thee
The fine features of your face
If only to have gazed once more
Us creatures of our race
To drink the dregs of sorrow
Melancholy etched with grace
It’s not that I’ve forgotten thee
Or winter’s wretched embrace
If only to have gazed once more
The fine features of your face
Under soundless starry sky
Us creatures of our race

Lonely nights and drunken fights
Drawn and quartered in my head
Life then does its nightly dance
Treading circles round the bed
Looking at the grains we’ve sown
Long and withered in our stead
Staring into far off eyes
Mouthing syllables unsaid

Relevance is relative. And so is value. And happiness. All of life.

adventure is out there

go outside and live a little

escape from memory lane

it’s not too hard i’ll take you there

we’ll catch the outbound train

and ride as vagabonds today

carefree and insane

setting fire to the wind

and doing all but the mundane

Noise Complaint

To my neighbors in the hall

I don’t like you, not at all

You’re loud and crass

A pain in my ass

Housing please give me

a much thicker wall

I met someone new last night
He came here in a dream
He said not only but two words
But I knew what they both mean

Darling, I’m a Masochist

Spread out upon a frame, awake and alone

With darkness surrounding, its fingers roam

To rather feel nothing than something at all

The higher we climb, the farther we fall

So tie my hands up, and do what you will

It’s only a show, I’ll give you a thrill

The World Spins On

Love. If you feel it, but don’t say it, does that mean it isn’t real? Or perhaps you do say it. But only to yourself, on the quiet nights that find you sleeping without your other half. And when you are released from this cloudy haze and find yourself alone once more, are you wiling to wash, rinse, repeat? Can you muster the courage to give your time, attention, and whole self to someone else who may leave you in the same spot as when you found them?

There are times you’ll feel alone and see the world as a dark, sad place. But the world spins on. And so must you.

It is a daunting task, falling in love, but it’s worth the risk we take. It’s what makes the sun shine and flowers bloom and gives you the energy to wake up day after day. Every break up brings you one person closer to finding the One. The person who lights up your life and sets your heart to skipping beats. So do not give up on love. It is out there, waiting for you to make your move.

Only eyes

Pieces of puzzles
Of life, love, and happiness
Falling down to rows
Water and rivers
Running full with deep dark hues
Mountain tops shall flow
Sunlight bursting through
This history of a course
Only the earth knows

A little more

I’d like to think

The world can be a better place

If only people showed

A little more

Kindness.

Superb Superlatives

I want to be skinny. Satisfied and secure. Scholarly, sentimental, sincere. I want to be sensational. A significant sophisticated socialite. Someone who is spectacularly splendid. So sprightly and stable, steadfast and suave. A successful suburbanite in the modern era. 

to be free

breaking from our bonds with cheap brown eyes

a cease fire is rung as we’re covered in lies

standing on a crevice deep wide as the sea

chained to the floor, not meant to be free

oh i’m chained to the floor not meant to be free

and i swallow my pride and tell you my truths

nothing so deniable as fear in youths

and i bear it all for the world to see

i know how it goes i wont disagree

oh i know when you go i wont disagree

sitting on the rooftop feeling alright

nothing you can do will keep me safe at night

youre the monster that wont let me sleep

chained to the floor, not meant to be free

oh i’m swinging from the door not meant to be free

its full extent

some of us are born knowing what we want to do and where we want to go. some of us find our passion through trial and error, heartache and pain. there’s no right way to live so long as you’re happy with yourself, with who you are. having people who love you is something that should never be taken for granted. and the way you break someone’s heart should never be forgotten. maybe you should have said those words. its hard to forgive ourselves for what weve done, so instead we forget. everything can change if youre willing to take the first little step. all in all, face your demons head on and rise to meet the challenge. get the job, ace the exam, finally get around to watching that old 80s movie. do something thats meaningful to you. we dont live forever. when the time comes, will you have the courage to face finality and exclaim that yes, you are proud? dont live life without regret. live it to its full extent.
