    A thousand tears..

    My heart already so dark, and so sore
    I'm reaching deep, into the place of my very core
    So much has happened here; I need to hide
    Locked away in secret, with all my might
    Is the sorrow, of a thousand tears not enough? 
    Could I feel any more, other then these emotions so rough
    Alone now in this place, of pain and loneliness
    Without sense, of any such human tenderness
    Can not a spirit or a heart, be mine to cherish
    Or so alone I am destined, to somehow perish..

    Just Not To Say Goodbye

    Go back to the deep realms,
    Where you belong,
    And play the song,
    And sing it for whatever time long.

    Go lose youself in the mist,
    With your desperate wish for anihilation.
    If someone you want to kiss,
    Then go ask the butcher for self-mutilation.

    I have been the puppet,
    The marionette you used to play with.
    But now I know what is like to be in,
    Touching Hell´s flaming skin.

    My feelings are not a menagerie,
    For you to watch.
    You don´t even feel,
    The heat of a flaming heart.

    Lighten my words,
    As you read them by,
    When you realize that I´m gone,
    You will say 'Oh My.'

    You were the journey,
    Of time´s death.
    You were the insolence,
    Of my heart´s offense.

    You would end one life,
    To raise antoher back from Heaven´s night.
    You would end one soul,
    Just to make another one look at you when you passed by.
    You would leave the world behind,
    Just not to say goodbye.

    Weighted soul..



    Young is this heart of mine accompanied with a old soul
    For it feels complete, but still there is a big hole
    A unforgiving truth remains and resides in this old soul
    For it is tormented and tainted, therefor can never be whole..

    Young is this face of mine accompanied with a broken smile
    For my eyes can hide a lie, but still cry once in a while
    A dark glare remains and resides in these eyes so hollow
    Eyes that don't know which way to turn or what to follow..

    X-ism: At the second floor of the land-lord house

    At the second floor of the land-lord house
    A lantern gleams all night long
    Its light can be seen beyond the sash of window
    Dimly…
    When nocturnal birds also return to nest
    The eyes of stars are languished due to drowsiness
    Footfall is already stopped
    Fireflies are also tired by sparkling light
    The voice of cricket are also chocking
    Yet…
    In a room of the second floor of the land-lord house
    A lantern flickers dimly
    All night long…

    Seeing Those Eyes.. (War / Children)

    Those eyes filled with anger, sorrow, fear and confusion 
    Can you see the heavy weight 
    Inside those eyes there is no illusion 
    Can you see the horrors of what they are afraid 

    Seeing those eyes watching at me, staring at me, getting to me.. 

    Those eyes have seen to many brutalities 
    No child should ever see 
    Scarred with those memories 
    From which they can’t break free 

    Seeing those eyes looking at me, inside of me, breaking me.. 

    In those eyes a whole story is told 
    Do you see it in those eyes 
    Death of the young and the old 
    War made them see to many goodbye's 

    Seeing those eyes that seen enough, cried to often, feared to much.. 

    It where those eyes, those sad eyes 
    The saddest eyes I ever saw 
    That made me start to realize 
    The price that children pay for war..

    Dear Reader
    Dear reader
    If I stop singing in rhyming words
    would you lament, in empty echoes
    would you play miss me chords?

    Enchanted words I say everything
    Captivated letters of something
    Of what I think, attempt to touch
    A glimpse I sow in a moment pouch

    I’m exposing my heart intimately
    Breathing I have no confidentiality
    My all I give to you freely and boldly
    Dear reader, who intently, silently
    observe, dissect and detect me
    closely, wordlessly, do you love me?

    Love I send dear reader,
    from an orator,
    a poet presenter

    The Arise Of Dawn

    Waking up at the arise of dawn, such a beautiful temptation,
    It's so pretty it's so long, this gorgeous creation.
    Reds blues whites, sweet magnificence of the sky,
    Sparkling lead misty lies little dreams, forget the night.

    This Twilight is my show of polar lights, in the early morning in the late night,
    It is my wings it is my flight, it is never closing it is tonight.
    Throw your worries away, for the sun starts to shine this day,
    Ask God to show you the way, and smell the scent of the flowers in May.

    Open your door, and appreciate beauty for a second,
    Let your colors burst, in this charming deflection.
    Sit in the green fresh lawn, and think why is the sky blue,
    It's the arise of dawn, but when I stop to think, it was you.

    Frozen In Words

    This fire,
    Is irritating.
    This life,
    Is devastating.

    I look up frozen in snow,
    Showing no emotion what so ever so.
    The screamy road, reduced to a narrow passage of moans,
    The streamy load, is such a heavy foe.

    Holding your tongue, biting it and closing it up,
    Giving away a gasp so long, while you wait for your mouth to shut up.
    As you screech in terror, she's laughing at your reflection,
    She's just a glitch she's just an error, she's a mistake not a perfection.

    Heaven's in the front gate,
    Don't stop, don't hesitate.
    Don't worry, you ain't late,
    For in my heart, you are to stay.

    A coldness that chills, and makes you wonder,
    Maybe you are ill, or love this is no longer.
    Vivid odors, that used to play the guitar cords,
    Shiny colors, now frozen in words.

    I can’t wait to leave this world

    I wake up everyday just to make a better world
    Every time I go to the world, I’ll make it worst
    This world is full of jokes, that man can’t face a war
    I love to see my day goes by, without being cursed

    Why should I stay in this world, if there’s are no adventures
    Adventures is my life to see another world that belongs to me
    This world should be in peace instead of me leaving to nature
    Changing the world would not make it better cause them

    Thy world is worth a lot to me but terror and war is still here
    Education, Life, Survivor, Proud, The Future, and Happiness is I
    I been hidden the fear just to survivor the world that is near
    There’s nothing that I should keep moving forward without life

    I hear, I smell, I see, and I believe is the other world calling me
    I am taking a step another step to leave this world without mercy

    My eyes closed, and I am still, except for the beating of my heart.. 
    But what is a heart when it's stone, cold but bleeding..
    What is a heart when its last warmth and feelings is receding..

    My ears are open, and I am still, waiting for the right moment..
    But it gives time to find the right word to start..
    But what is the right word when it is measured, weighed and comes from a frozen heart..

    My mouth begins to open, for I try to speak, thoughtful and meaningful words..
    There are just a few, small but come on strong..
    But they help to correct all I've done wrong..

    " I'm sorry" from the depths of my stone-cold-frozen and bleeding heart...

      I am but a stranger who is nothing but curious, read it through and through but for me, your theme did not strike. would love to know what it is about, for my beating heart desires.
