Perhaps

Just when I stand tall
chasing the northern light beyond the horizon,
the sun rises miraculously erasing the colours
and my naive soul turns miserable again.

It’s not just another coincidence,
it’s the cruel rhythm of my life
I always tried my best to catch the firefly
yet some cosmic interference always brings out the sunshine.

But I will never give up,
untill that light over the ridge strikes my eyes
I will touch the tip of the jewels
whether it happens today, tomorrow or someday later.

Life is meant to be full of sufferings
sometimes its even worse
Maybe I won’t be the chosen victim
perhaps fate will spare me next time,
Who knows?

Between the Silence

Once upon a time I used to be happy
I used to be sad
I used to have feelings
I used to suffocate.

But now its all gone
nothing new or old to rely on.
A numb, sore entity
to pass these days and nights along.

What am I supposed to write?
What am i supposed to tell?
A quiet sombre story
instead of a doomed novel?

Or a cruel pathetic tour
about what the reality is, what’s on hold.
What’s next to burn out
the tired little soul?

Is this the outburst or even if there’s more?
What’s the point behind all of this
if its already been told?

Void whispers

How many more days to wait?
When will it be our evening?
Failed to find you one more time
even after the revolt was fulfilled.

Maybe this is the last time
twilight of a gray saga.
My soul forbids my heart to wait
yet for you, I may never give up.

Our shadows have never met
not even for a while, never had that luck.
Can we walk beneath the city lights,
keeping our souls aligned?

I will pay for the mistakes
for a few more days or beyond time.
How many more days to wait,
until I lose you forever?

Incoherence

Shut up!
Quiet sleeper awaken with mystery swirling around the head.
Asks with amorous voice
“What lies below a quiet place?”

In the shadow realm
loneliness breaches origin of love

In the silence of the wind
yearns drizzles for extended hours

In the hustle and bustle of prostitutes
humble wanderer peeps up

In the rainy night
your absence makes me go numb

Get back to the sleeping world
muse about what to seek next.
For “affection of melancholy”
lies beneath the quiet place.

Surmise

Dream within dream awaits 
Dream after dream decays.

Wounds hidden in forgotten cries
ban on falling asleep remained intact
desperation is a nightmare 
but serene hope rains down the battle

New dreams are woven into old memories 
when reality wraps up the ending 
like sun falls in the closed sky 
as the careless sea crumbles on the concrete

Illusion continues shining the sky of mind
glitters the harmony of love 
a game of light and darkness begins
life startles with new colours

Dream after dream decays
Dream within dream awaits.

Nightmare startles

Silent night screams heaven belongs here 
Sound of violet fear goes past the nightmare

Night of the living dead 
rumbling throughout the dark 
blind creator humming the melody
keep your eyes wide shut

The devil comes at night
on every sacred ground
fear the whispers of night
as it doesn’t leave anyone inside out.

Night’s a lonely maze in the land of saint and sinners
Everyone’s both till death rips apart

Chasing insanity is a hard fight
like raving alone in darkness
the wrath within the saints waking up
wicked tales of fear excels

Something in the long dark trail
designs the final countdown
grey curse of hollow spirits
manifested the reign of chaos.

Get away if you can look both ways
Or else get banished in the night of red end.

Of Unsound Mind

The in-between I came by
on the remains of the day
at the ark of lonely illusion
watching her shadow around the den.

Asking your place or mine at midnight
She said she’s lost inside.

Beyond the scruples I bid for love
asked her to dance, spin me around purple hearts
“Don’t worry darling” she said after that
what we gonna do next play dead or seriously red?

Moving on with the perfect delusion like the old way
sorry about the goofy red price we paid at the last runway.

Modern ways for the doom of love
no mercy no remorse as it’s remembered.
In the game of love
everyone is borrowed or somehow a prisoner.

Slipping into darkness shall we play more?
Anything is possible after shock so don’t make me go.

Never again manifest the daydream
don’t look up there for a lonely blue night
Unless the mist cleated the memories
how did we get here without saying goodbyes?

Alive

I am alive again
don’t write me off anytime soon
I am alive again
with the glimpse of truth

I am alive again
with my soul trembling dark
like a water drop
resonating all around the firth.

Its good to be on the hook
like dangling in the sky
worth a lot of remorse
but its great to be alive

Life happens anytime sooner or later
nothing similar with the books
It’s lucky to be alive
though fate maybe up against your will.

Disclosure

Lost emotions to express
feeling like a head full of clumsy clouds

never try too hard on yourself
it will drive you crazy like a ferocious hound

Fragments of memories don’t buzzes anymore
time strikes down as it was tap dance all along

feels like I am bound with stoic emotions
while paying the price of being an unorthodox

Drive your soul towards eternity not to fable fictions
cheer up your mind with the pearl of wisdom
otherwise pain will emerge as bulky devotion.

MELANCHOLY

Nothing left to feel not much to lose
Some sort of numbness starting to bloom

It’s a day about me and myself
And yeah its kind of hard to deal through.

Nothing to hide not a question of dime
Just the lone rude noon with the scent of vile

Live alone love yourself is kind of tough
When you loose focus everything gonna feel so wild
