Never have I forced myself to get such a gorgeous price
So enticing, yet so many nominate me as the most beautiful
Never have I experienced such hatred, jealousy and spite
Yet people wake up one morning to detest an innocent creation, oh so hateful
I’m a flower with gorgeous petals that wither
Because of the thorns in the garden
Thorns that have pierced through my soul
On the branches of a blossomed tree is a beautiful rose
At the foot of a growing tree, withered petals fallen
…Loveless…

It’s like a dance which starts slow and gradually builds up to a peak
Two strangers do the dance of the dark until both are weak
I love my darling so much yet I don’t remember the name
My sweetheart said a lot of things that I forget after I came
I am with my lover, but I still need a lover
Why I feel more alone now I wonder
I kiss with my eyes wide open to see that this is wrong
But that person grabs my mike and continues the song Continue reading

Puck civilization
Whatever happened to moonlight plays?

No chaos. Continue reading

Blank…that’s all I see
I’m staring but my sight has been zipped into a space only consciousness knows
My stare is as straight as the ruler that measures the shape of my worries bouncing off the geometric walls of thoughts
I become one with my thoughts, a prism, gliding through the planes of life trying to find a balance Continue reading

Made to be together
Thick as thieves; one to the other
It is the beauty of the Homo sapiens
An effective tool for the sapient
With a set, he writes
With two, he crawls Continue reading

Eyes like little starlets in the sky
Eyebrows so full and fleeked like the trimmed gardens
Lips that are so tempting, wicked when they part
Oh Why? I’ve been hypnotized Continue reading

Is WHITE cool and silky?
Is white cold and hard?
Does it take pride in its purity or crave to be some other hue?
Trapped in woolly water as it floats in the sky, does it dream?
Does it exist solely to give light to others?
It may seem unfriendly, but I think white is very lonely.
Perhaps it longs to be a little less stark.
Maybe, just maybe, it wants to be dark. Continue reading
