Why Didn't You Stay
Far from the sea I'm trying to set myself free Tears flowing like a river I have no idea when will it be over You left in March, now it's almost May Still, I'm asking myself why didn't you stay? I can feel the heaviness in me like rain My heart is clearly in vain My nights felt so empty, I always cry The...

She leads me down the road Turns around and says that she’s not sure any more Sometimes things go wrong People change Nothing stays the same If only you could see Hiding in the past won’t bring us back It only causes pain Something that will always remain It’s better that you go now Turn another corner Change your name Nothing stays the same Tears for yesterday will...

Spyware Firmware Publicity and Privacy
2024.4.24 Ever since you installed on my phone, All those fantastic Firmware, After explaining about privacy issues. I thought it was a wonderful idea And you did it with good intentions To protect me from all those spywares' infection. But did you know, when you decided to end our friendship, You left me struggling how to use them. Most of the Apps you installed Had...

Hello, Hello, just a shadow In a rat race on game show it’s a rat race on a circus show Just a game for the cat chase, In a rat race against the cat chase In this circus show On my tiptoe, for Romeo Under the mistletoe But the lifeguard let go Manifesto I'm in denial I'm in denial Hunted by a crocodile I'm swimming idle I'm swimming...

Was
Loving it was And so beautiful Soft it was And so addictive Like the trees that were planted last spring We could’ve grown together Like the weather moving We could’ve changed together Ignored it was But I still loved Forgotten it was But I could handle it Like a fire that needs to be fed You longed for more Like salt on an opened wound Your words...

In Existence
I, too, wish to carry a bullet for the ducks flying through snow. I, too, want to live under neon lights— blue light still my closest friend. I, too, take cold showers until my hands stop shaking, snapping red like nerves. I, too, clasp my hands after killing a mosquito, even if blood and genes mean nothing. I, too, walk through mist, loving the snails that move slow like me. I,...

He was sat on the bridge when the stranger appeared No words He lit a cigarette Then spoke Woman I nodded Mortal man Destiny unplanned Soul who waits His tempered fate Let me paint you a scene Dead body, screams Lots of tears No sound, as they lower you into the ground Two weeks down the line Slight anger You made her cry Made her guilty, why You were the dumb one,...

A confused love while torn apart
Roses with thorns grow on my heart As I waited for you To tell me how you feel Do you want me? Yes or No Is it just a game We talk for hours, nothing new We laughed for hours, nothing new We went out twice, nothing new Do you want me? Yes or No Is it just a game I don't understand you anymore All...

The Chaos In My Heart
Two hearts once beat as one in time.. Their voices sang a perfect rhyme. Each thought, each breath, a mirrored tune.. They danced beneath the silver moon. But she, in love’s unsteady hand.. Had strayed and broken what was planned. A choice she made, a wound so deep.. That left him standing, torn and steeped. ...

But It's All I Have
A day, once, when you were just a name. A name, once, and then it all changed. Changed, once, and never again. God, please— never again. I don't want to look back one day And think on these memories And realize that the pain has numbed Yes it hurts Yes— yes, it hurts And I don't want it to stop I don't want you to...

Blank White Pages
I never reached out for your hand— Fingers interlacing, hearts intertwining. My words blistered on my tongue, And I tucked the unanswered glances Back into silence, Like love letters never sent. What do I do with the love I couldn't give? I'll bleed it onto blank white pages, Ink running from my arteries. My stanzas will contain The glory of my memories, And my metaphors...

Elysium in the Light
As i bask in her glory, her sunlight reigns, Her smile i cherish, her love still remains. A spark ignites every room with your grace, A symphony played in the softest embrace. Your brilliance, a beacon, illuminating bright, Whispers of wisdom taking flight in the night, Behind those deep eyes, a universe...
