I don’t love you
For the prideful and self centered reasons.
When the sky is blue,
To the slaying storms and all kinds of seasons
...

I know it's cold, but we are hot and getting old
Time is chasing us, come let's run to the streets
Do away with the underwear lest men don't understand!
And talk the walk, walk the talk on the streets!
...

Like the sun I felt your heat from a distance
When you rose from the street, I tried to stare
But my eyes couldn't bare yours, your fragrance
Took my breath away, couldn't catch it, I ran out of air!
...

If I could
Move the mountains,
Split wine from fountains.
I would
...

Tears from that face will forever fall
But not shall they reach that ground,
Nor turn the dry lands into Eden for all,
For that infliction will strike for more and never turn around
...

I took off my glasses
So to gaze her with my naked eyes,
And all I could see was flames
Beauty burning bright above the horizons,
...

I saw her somewhere in the dark
And she smiled at me but I couldn’t see vividly,
While the wind was blowing dogs did not cease to bark,
I drew her near to me and held her proudly!
...

It is so real
When it oozes from a sore heart!
It takes time to heal
While battering the soul and turn the body apart...
...

My eyes drizzle
As thy charisma mingle inside them,
My heart whistle
A most prominent anthem,
...

Whither you climb?
Stones with feet oozing life,
Sanctified by the lamb
Ought to be worth of His grief,
...

I looked for a need but I failed to find it…
A reason to neither cry my tears nor show my fears,
Throughout the years, never reached the limit
In me, greater is he that cannot be seen with eyes!
...

Fountain of my blood
In the midst of my belly, with a scarlet pearl
Like a precarious ocean, blew a flood
That hurts to soon heal,
...

But I am slaved to you,
Caved in your hell, served
You to the heights of the blue,
But it’s true, I remain starved.
...

In the world where death is a dreadful relief
Possibilities have limits and abilities don’t matter
Where people have hosted and made peace with Grief
Bitter absorbing their hopes for the better!
...

Dwell I not in the prayers of an intellect mind,
Turgid words uttered with pride, how in vain
Would it be! Vows like chains that seek to bind
The Almighty, so I could make my selfish gain.
...

And when I met my self…
I realized I was a stranger of my own,
Failed to understand the pain of my rage,
In my reign I refused to wear the crown,
...

What never began and never will it cease
Like space and time in the absence of mankind,
Whose years don’t decrease nor increase
Whose height can’t be taken like the skies above the land?
...

Had we seen
Where we have been;
Through sorrow
With no hope for tomorrow
...

When the night
Chased us to rest;
Had my flesh to fight
Foreseeing the test,
...

I laid my eyes on that flower again,
I almost watered it with my own tears.
Being brighter than mothers of sweet rain
Its affection left me with teary eyes,
...
