Why Didn't You StayFar 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...

Plagued By MemoriesShe 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 Privacy2024.4.24
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...

A High School Rough DraftHello, 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...

WasLoving 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 ExistenceI, 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,...

DestinyHe 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 apartRoses 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

King Solomon and I will Fly a kite todayKing Solomon and I will fly a kite
On this historical Good Friday,
we seek justice for the young lady
Her father made her act as if she were his niece.
To deceive his new wife, so that she could live with them
His wife found out about the plot and hell would break loose.
On social media,...

The Chaos In My HeartTwo 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 HaveA 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 PagesI 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 LightAs 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...

i love youyour countless lies leave a sour taste on my tongue
“i love you” you claim
yet it’s muttered using all of the air in your lungs
your breathing stops
and you have nothing left to give
yet i catch myself screaming out
“please just live”
stay with me awhile longer
i can’t face reality without juggling your saunter
the tear stained...

The dried roses still smell like you,
