Keep Love Play

I saw you sitting there
In a coffee shop, waiting for me
I still remember that first stare
Those eyes meant for me to see

I never thought we’d be so free
Like there’s nothing else around
For this locked heart, you had the key
Revealing what can be rarely found

With you, my spirit soars unbound
Singing out loud for the music is true
Walking with our thoughts going around
Dancing to the rhythym without any clue

I am in gray, you wear blue
And we explore in colorful ways
Doing them now better with you
Giving me my most blissful days

Please don’t stop, keep it in play
Hold my hand. Never feel sorry.
My heart beats for every word you say
Writing with love. Our story.

Do We Know Love?

The greatest mystery ever crafted
The vague dimension of limits and probability
The heaviest load every being has lifted
The wrinkled road to life’s harmony

No one can trace the addictive pulse
Nor put a stop to the beating inside
For it is the wanted truth among the false
A crazy little thing no one can ever subside

Deep within it blooms steady and wild
Bonding spirits and feeding the mind
Creating worlds for those dreaming defiled
Playing loops for those wishing rewind

Heroes do fall by taking its quest
Weakening the pillars of self-respect
Fools were hatched out of its nest
Shading a sky full of regrets

The sparks grow fiery in desire
Shattering the walls of innocence and purity
Once it bursts into millions of fire
Calling will be heard to test true fragility

Learning it gives glory and grace
Guiding the lost in cruelty’s maze
Nothing can match its complex ways
Designing the best and heavenly days

It seeks the missing piece of content
Soaring the vastness of possibilities
It lives through believing the soul’s intent
Bending the rigid line of causalities

Words cannot define its firm reality
Transcending the borders of strong philosophy
Trusting on it entails ambiguity
Living with it upholds eternity

Within 17

It’s 3 a.m. and caffeine is in my blood.

My body is tired, so is my mind.
Unlike my body resting in the bed,
my mind won’t retire,
wanting to be free.
Maybe it’s caffeine, it separates your mind from exhaustion.
Because when the mind gets its chance, it will never stop thinking.
From the feeling of hunger to you who I think of.
My mind won’t rest until it gives up.
The mind hears voices not from this world.

Every mind does.

Such voices are inevitable,
using your mind,
planting seeds in your mind,
crumbling your mind.
Your mind wants to vanish the voices but it can’t do anything.
Even if you sleep, for sure tomorrow they’ll be back.

No, you just want to stop thinking.

You exhaust your mind until nothing comes out of it.

You just want to end the pain of cyclic remembrance of the things you’ve done.
You just want to stop the agony you caused.
You just want to think of nothing.
You just want to be nothing.

You just want to use up the remaining caffeine.
3:17 a.m.

What You Said to I

Looking at you bewilders me
I can’t help myself but to compare
You told me to change the way I see
Still to me, the world is unfair

Am I being blind to my own light?
Am I being greedy to just need more?
You are the one who goes and fight
You are the one who makes the score

Everyone is perfect in their own way
Remembering what you said to uplift
But broken I distrusts every day
Losing my sanity to sudden shift

You hold my line from breaking apart
Shame on me, I am a coward
If I can, I would grasp my heart
For you move on, for you to go forward

On the verge of best and worst
Striving to stand on my own
Keeping my tears from being burst
This is I, being alone

Write with The feet

 

As we did something wrong, we’ll never forget
What we do is go down and fret
To the deepest caves inside our hearts
To the farthest corners, from everyone apart
We cry a lot, inside and out
Kept wondering what it is about
Yet, we don’t know the answer we madly want
And still feel the sharpest sadness, the others can’t
Next is We overthink, We overdo, We overreact
But what else can we do stop, it is The Fact
We feel life runs out, we cannot pace up
Drowning ourselves to the bottom of the cup
Everything fell apart is what we assume
‘Coz it is all our mind and heart can consume
Until we go over the limit ourselves
Only pain can take away the Pain that dwells
We hurt ourselves waiting for the Crimson to drop
Agony ceases along with the loudest throb
We want more, we want to cross the line
Thinking, over there will be just fine
In Time, we Love to do things for all the bshit(s)
The truth hurts, it isn’t worth it.

Unspoken

Pardon my words for they are wonders

Pardon my thoughts for they cannot die

Judge my actions for going under

Leave my feelings for chasing goodbye

Try chasing stars in a stormy night

Go dive the depths without air

Save yourself with blinded sight

Make me think it has always been fair

It is only through failure we realize

The doubts and fears of losing it all

These mistakes are fallen desires

Undeserving of chances we took the fall

In the end let silence reign

Where unspoken words cut deep within

Some broken hearts can never be fixed

Some stars out there can never be seen

What We Are

Steps do count on our everyday
Thrusting ourselves forward in life
Every move we make, every word we say
Binds ourselves to happiness and strife

Series of choices are laid in front
Often we choose what our soul can hold
Playing safe we go for blunt
Rarely risking through the cold

Identity is what we invest
What people see and what we defend
Striving to be the best among the rest
Forgetting little things in the end

One second you feel all is fine
Another second you’ll realize it is not
They will tell you to focus on the line
But how can you if all are twisted in a knot

Life is a game of hide and seek
Our heart searches what we need
And when the game is on its peak
Only few surpass their speed

It is the bliss. It is the pain. It is the leap
Living is existing in true uncertainty
One wrong move and it cuts so deep
But for someone who made a choice, it is bravery
