the autumn leaves
they lament
dancing and crashing
incoming winter wind
the snow fell down
no one around
drifting and splashing
from the moon's crescent
it's the death of fall (death of fall)
heart trembling, let's take the ease off
straight jacket, wrapped in cold sheet...
Not the first time, not the last
I started running far, fast
into the midnight moonlight (midnight moonlight)
I've been stripped to the bare bone
my Achille's heel is shown
in the outright, broad daylight (outright, broad daylight)
tear-streaked cheeks, i feel weak
solemn sentence...
catching on fire
losing desires
caught up in the moment of yester-years
swept up in cool rain
im going insane
slipping and sliding in my lesser fears
black rose
please don't go
door, don't close
forget me not
black rose
please don't go
door, don't close
forget me...
I live, I love, and I love to live
But what’s love? What’s life?
I am motored by these boggling questions
They seem to drive me into a ditch
In the middle of a deserted desert
Pitch-black skies and prickly cactus
The sands of time surround me
I can’t stand it
so I sit and wonder
yet ...
my hands clasped around
a world so wide
my mind cannot abide
to Earth's ocean tides
I ride my own waves
as lonesome as I may
I carve out my own caves
And bear the fears today
Fears of failure; successes too
Being sucked in by a vacuum
depressed violins
pressed against tissues and vio...
don't cry, don't even try
save those tears when
raindrops turn to skittles
or save those salt-saturated droplets
for the dew in the morning,
the best times for mourning
are those times when you're alone
but you're not
that's the problem, isn't it?
you have me e...
bid farewell to the crowd pleasers
please her with your marvelous moves
and move you do
you move me to tears
with my two ears, i hear your soul sing
sing you do
solely you
only you i see
amid the fame-struck stars
conform to a sick mold
they dont know who they are
can't stand thei...
Strum on, strum on, strum on
Guitar strings vibrating
To the sounds of classic rock
Rock-steady, solidarity in tune
with warped wavelengths,
they stretch for miles long
my ears plunge in ecstasy
as your fingers play the riffs
and under the glaring spotlight,
your face illuminates
beads of...
find the shaft of yellow
within the crusted cracks,
tremble at the sound of wind-swept bells
chime in unison but i fail to do so
lying there, my head against the dust
who cares who listens
my downfall is my freefall
the falling down will turnaround
and
who cares who listens
the waterf...
Lyrical literature
That strike each nuance of the drum
Makeshift emotions
Entice the electricity in my cerebrum
Captured moments
In golden frames
Brilliant succession of sounds
Representing both joy and pains
Possesses a certain liveliness
That speak one-to-one with
Your ears and your...
Words wind around your head two-fold
As you spend limitless hours deciphering
Tomorrow’s prophetic life lessons
Or better yet, a farewell to the concise and the clear
Indulge in metaphors that you can care less of
Linking irrelevant correlations
And reading between the lines
when the line...
Rose-colored glasses
Fogged up; greener grasses
Lie beyond my reach in the end
And I spend
Countless hours plucking flowers
And my pin-pricked heart cowers within
Pressed lips that linger
Without saying a word
It’s absurd that silence can hurt so much
hush-hush…don’t wake my demons
...
Dawn emerges
shining light
on such a "pretty sight"
with little regard for the lonesome battlefield
an unsheathed sword, yet a quasi-iron shield
until...i tunnel through endless, splendid-less wars
raging with a force, a lack of remorse
no ease on casaulties
complacencies unnotic...
seasonal endings
change is a-brewing
life is a-stirring
and emotions transcending:
fear not the antiquated ghosts
that glare through clouded windows,
poisoning your pale-clad lips
with cold fingertips yet passes
through, zephyr-like
whether or not the weather's changed entirely
T...
Love
like the winter snow
a sprinkle of white specks
that melt on my tongue
sensation of a delicate, soothing touch
embrace me with tight strings
laced with trust and attraction
jump into piles high
unprepared for the next hit
of a round mass of cold ice
yet be warmed again by
the fier...
I whisper words
Silence shattered
Your ears swim in each syllable’s resonance
Listening intently
To cup each word spoken
Undisturbed, unperturbed
in your memory
Oh so gently you place
A strand of hair behind my ear
Laughter erupting from
My visceral senses
In the sense of gratitud...
Wretched bones that rot in tortuous
yet compelling distortions
contorted to please the
devilish duties of the culprit
meddling red-stained fingerprints
smeared, like paint strokes,
taint the carnage with shades of red
however, the scene is draped in solitude
rendering the skeleton'...
Tied down by blaring yellow caution tape
Boxed, secluded in desolate ignorance
You said, “Life's a labyrinth of lies and corruption”
But who is to say what life is?
Yes, the sins, the sorrows
The uncertain tomorrows
May sound daunting,
Almost haunting
But imagine that box of chocola...
It matters not that you draw a sketch
on the canvas of my brain
fantastical lines, picturesque and sublime
it matters not that you speak of sweet sorrows
the unpromising promises that you'll love me forever
and never will there be a squabble to see
it matters not that flower petals s...
Quote on New Years Day :D
the more i love, the faster my heart beats, the faster my heart beats, the more dangerous it is for me to love...so why love? b/c if i die b/c of it, i'll die happy. ?...
Wavering lips, tapping feet
As the grass rustles beneath me
As my frown draws wrinkles on my face
The pale face of a guilty pain
Jumpy, not of excitement but
Of a nervous jumble of knots
Teeth-chattering silences
Which can only silence them all
The soft voices in my head…
Eyes, wide-...
Raged wars to go to the bottom of the earth,
dirt-clad with my bike in its trail
to see life flow seemingly
from the lackluster to the epic,
from the night to the crack of dawn, peeking
through fluffy clouds of seemingly mass proportions.
At last – simplest terms in knowing – time will...
Hurried glances dart from left to right
The intersection is packed chock-full with busy cars
A blur of colors race past me
The hustle and bustle of the crowded streets
Almost whisk me away but before then…
One step from the sidewalk…
I close my nervous eyes
With my hands, I cover them...
bear witness to the disease
that lurks beneath the so-called love
that traps her heart into a web of lies
a sinking...almost like quicksand
a drowning...almost a death
...heartbreak that crushes her as her hands tremble at the thought
tears urge to fall
from the face that masks its humanity...
Depressed by the sounds in my head
addressed by the pitter-patter
of empty tears that fall
flying headfirst to the concrete
puddles lying by my feet
Stitched together
by the threads
which ever so slowly untwine
to shed the facade shown on my face
Will I ever hear…
the calling for ...
