Glass To Life

 In another time...
Life was easy
As ecstasy of your presences made it be.

But finite was the heart
As it have been hurt before
Guided by the past
And the vow to survive
It wasn't to fall in the same snare.

As it was either it breaks
Or it does the breaking
While it recalls of yesteryear
Revenge on innocence as healing.

But blooded
As innocence transform to monstrosity
Un-humanly charged
For tomorrow regrets fills the glass to life.

Gassed

 If fame was a person.

why do I find
myself screaming after her?
Is it because, her
fatal attraction is the vice to lure me in?

I was happy
scribbling my thoughts
Yet! She saw
potential, she wanted to herself
so onto the world
she propped me up
only to leave me midair.

She told me to be
cool
doing what the cool
do
smoking, drinking
and partying
but she forgot to
tell
these to be a
highway to hell
now I lay imperiled
on floor of the bathroom.

while dreaming of
the stars, she made me to hold
not bothered of the
set, she threw me in
Violence, the back
door she widely opened
I was her slave
finally
widely praised, for
the glory that wasn’t mine.

She already had six
feet imprinted on me
I mean! She dug a
hollow, to swallow my being
she was my friend
so I thought
neglecting, the
lesson she had with my previous heroes
I fell for her trap.

Now a shell, of my
former self
But still she was
unrelenting
gassing on my life
with her venom
yet string me to
the crocodiles
Now I’m where she
always wanted me
regret filled.

I know one day,
they will be light
I will be surely
free once again.

Invisible

Having permuted the day
Slandered by fairytale hopes
Happy to finally be where I belong
before it all came crushing
Reassuring life to be a willow tale

As at peace with...

I had made a deal
Forgoing the past that was a thorn in my crown
Throwing into despair, the light that once shined brightly
As I picture their words scarring through my heart
Tortured by their presence
Blood filling the mouth to taste
Lost once again.

Lust as the only salvation
Raging guiding compass
Feared by the elite that once cuffed me
for their songs were of blame
words flooding the core cockpit
as the old me faded.

An orphan to the reality
alone in a universe of plenty
But unimportant to be lend just an ear
that I slayed my flesh
sliced my soul
butchered my happiness
Just to feel alive again.

Only if the world was kind
but that will remain
a screaming maybe
Never to be addressed
As watchful eyes prey for entertainment
yet my back throbs cause of their brutal lashes
Not visible to the skin
While the preying eyes awaits for their turn to do me...

And save me not!

Silent Thoughts

 Is it possible?

To wake up smiling
while internally
bleeding.
As shaved off was
my innocence
before I was allowed to
live.

It was in my
infancy, where they choked life
for me not to
breathe.
Bringing afore hell,
down in the
playground.
But dared not to
speak.
For hate a
transitive of love,
wounded my being
that I see myself
no more.

Wondering!
Was it the life
they promised?

So I fought myself
with Spears.
Neglected trust for
rage.
As silent thoughts,

dearly loved
friends.
Grind the bones
crosses brought
forth.

But none
was there to land a
hand.
So reversed became
me.
Scared to show my
heart.
As love was hate,
remember they
taught me so.

Now they yell at my
age
Curse my guts.
As bewildered
thoughts,
brews cocktails of
revenge.
Splashing my flesh
to feel alive.
Hotels remembering
my dash--
For every night is
a different stick at play.

Calling me names!
Yet forgetting it
was them
it was them who
neglected me first
it was them who
forgot me first
it was them who
landed their hands to curse me.

Now I borrow their possession
for short
temper flashing for
not
Enraged by the
world.

New Dimension

When all things met!
Dreams, reality and nightmares,
Hope seems to dwindle.
Strangled to triangulation of the future.

Though hope!
A perfect paste of the three,
Never seize to having come backs
Grinding bones until perfectly aligned.

Setting a new dimension.
As it is said,
"A triangle to represent perfection
Before the coziness of life settles."

Tilling reality to purpose!
Breaking barriers to ignite change
As life charters a new flight,
Tomorrow mining the moon.

Zero's Zoo

Get it to zero
Where life intersect happiness
Solitude becomes peace
Fleeting wars of one being.

Get it to zero
Where the future is a mirage
Today is a blessing of a dream
Fleeting the nightmare of the night.

Get it to zero
Where the mind fools the flesh
As it paints a void
Called to be in the head.

Get it to zero
Where roses seize to bloom
As bridges tell stories of lost hope
While the bulb flicks in their hands
Puffing away their dreams to heaven.

Get it to zero
Where hatred is a imagination
Envy is the Devils advocate
And dreams are a chance of unrealized hope.

Get it to zero
Where rivers stir the soul
Drunken in unbelief
Sipping to numb thoughts
As buckets rattle the heart
Grounded to despair
Fleeting fools ignorance.

WILT

 I tried
But the rose now wilts
Was it my fault
To invest all the effort to keep it blooming
Only to realize it had a season
As the soil seemed not to be ready
And water wasn't there to support my efforts.

***********************************************

We only talk about the glorified side of love
Forgetting what a monster it is
Some hide away from it
Only to find themselves wearing cloth of denial
Singing "what doesn't kill you makes stronger."

Forgetting,
it's the dagger that is plunge into the heart that is dangerous
But adamantly,
Playing the ignorant card
We race our hearts to slaughter chambers
Only to emerge heartless.

So I now don't blame them those that cheat
They were once loyal
But someone broke them
They once sought that special rose to tender
But they got left in the open.
