    The New Girl

    Your name written in red, Blood on my sweater,

    Your blade in my spine, Hope she treats you better.

     

    Why couldn't you have me back?

    Was our love the rose or the lilac?

    Was I just a cheaper prozac?

    Your very own nymphomaniac?

     

    I'm bleeding Blue, cuz it's all inside

    The cage in my heart, unidentified,

    My plan for the escape, suicide,

    How is my own death, undignified?

     

    Why does she now mean more?

    Why is your love, a carnivore?

    Is this new or has it happened before,

    Guess I just don't matter, anymore.

    Tomorrow

    Life is stupid and life is beautiful

    Death, well it's still not excludable

    Yesterday might have been great

    That might have been just the bait

    For today, the tables can flip over

    But is that certain? Certainly no sir!

    Today might have been lower that most

    But tomorrow you might become a ghost

    No one knows what tomorrow holds

    You just have to wait for what unfolds

    Tomorrow can't be bought at high prices

    It's just part of the ongoing existential crisis.

    So wipe off your teary grins and start the show

    Cue the music, cue the dancers and cue tomorrow.

    Just Another

    Seems just yesterday when it began

    Guess you discovered a better plan

    Guess we've crossed our lifespan

    Guess you found your perfect man.

     

    I dream that you feel this pain too

    I wish we could talk how we used to

    Every day, I ask the walls for a clue

    Of how it feels like to be loved by you.

    After wiping your tears, without a tissue,

    I wish I got more than just a 'thank you'.

     

    I could talk to you all night, friendly

    Be the most understanding and funny

    But to you, I was just another nobody

    Someone will come and replace me

    Maybe that's just how it's meant to be

    Maybe me and you, were never "we".

     

    I wish I knew what wrong i did

    Guess I was just another shy kid

    With heart turned Blue and violet

    Just another eyelash on your eyel...

    Wants 2

    I want a trip to somewhere around the equator

    Maybe away from technology, but closer to nature.

    Gazing at the night sky from my hammock

    Living off of sea water, coconuts and manioc.

    Crossing oceans, without a worry on my mind

    Away from the addicting creations of mankind.

    Trying out fruits and berries, sweet and bitter

    Somewhere there are tweets outside of Twitter.

     

    I wanna go where 'natural' is more than a hashtag

    Travel so much that I get immune to any jet lag.

    Experience cultures out of a documentary

    Discover secrets hidden away for a century.

    Eat foods that don't have a no carbs version

    Somewhere, taking a walk isn't an exertion.

    Reach an Amazon where the other one can't reach

    A place where global warming is more than a speech.

     

    I want to see the sunset across the ocean

    Wants 1

    I don't want your fancy parties and banquets

    I just need my bed, a book and my blankets,

    A hot cup of coffee, snuggling as the rain pours

    Laying back and forgetting all of my chores.

     

    I want a home filled with books and sweaters

    I want to post everyday, some paper letters

    Hear stories that last more than a day

    About dragons and children far far away

    The songs on the radio, but out of my car

    The warmth of smoke, but not of a cigar.

    Cooking warm delicious food, just for myself

    Somewhere I don't have to clean the shelf.

    When

    When you can't feel my heartbeat,

     

    When I join the world under our feet,

     

    When I'm under dirt and stones,

     

    When plants grow in my bones.

     

    When I'll have faced mayhem,

     

    When I'm long forgotten by them,

     

    When all my foes have enjoyed,

     

    When I'm fallen deep in the void,

     

    When all yours tears have dried,

     

    When your mind is unoccupied,

     

    When I no longer need the money,

     

    When you've probably forgotten me,

     

    When my mention is just deja vu,

     

    That's when I'...

    Twin Flames

    How do you know you've met your twin flame? 
    Well, in your darkest days and your darkest hours, they're the beacon of light that shines through the darkness that consumes you. 
    They're the hope that makes you keep living, when all you want to do is stop existing. 
    They're your cheerleader in your greatest moments. 
    The ones that make you feel loved, when you don't love yourself. 
    Twin flames give you a reason to stay alive and keep living. 
    At times when you're on your knees about to give up on your dreams, twin flames will always be there to pick up and mend your broken pieces. 
    They're the ones that understand and hear you when no one else wants to listen. 
    And makes your life just feel a little bit easier to deal with. 
    Twin flames are the ones that carry pieces of you no matter how far apart you are in distance, but would never ma...

    Roses

    Say ya amazing grace hickory sweet victory taste mindful chase 
    Funk of scrolls old school rock and roll moving glitter sparkle 
    Yo it's the disco girls sitting comfortable uncontrollable 
    Emotions of the world coasting I play safe with a notion potion 
    Carefully position switching my direction compass my ambition 
    Pointed to the old roads where country for men dont extend 
    So lend me ya ears face all fears lay more tracks than John Deer 
    Catch my peers music piercing the edge of ya ears keep it clear 
    When ya twitching cant stop the heat out of the kitchen stitching 
    Intellects like blankets quilts no guilts follow truth that's built 
    Off of a solid foundation gangsta tackle 33 degrees but not a mason 
    Slash victims the black Jason trapping ya on my stations 
    Channel at zero below the cosmic cycle playing suicidal to rivals

    IN THE DEEP SEA OF SLUMBER

     


    Look, the child is sunk
    in the sea of deep slumber
    face down on the sea-shore.
    Clad in his glittering,
    exquisite red shirt
    and tight blue jeans
    and black shoes
    he might have reached the sea-shore
    without informing his elders.
    See, he is always fond of 
    the vast expanse of the blue sea 
    which must have prompted
    him to run away to the sea shore from home.
    No one knows when he
    reached the sea-shore.
    One thing is certain
    it was hours ago.
    Wandering down the sea-shore
    for a long time
    under the blazing sun
    he might have got tired and exhausted.
    That might have led
    him to fall asleep on the sea-shore
    face down on the sand.
    ‘Aylaan, Aylaan, Aylaan’ -
    somebody, perhaps his father or
    some other elders from home
    was heard calling him in a frightened voice

    who am I?

    Everyday my Identity doesn’t stay the same 

    It’s changes with whomever I meet, it changes with every hello and every hey 

    I get confused by which side I am on

    Or if I am in both 

    Both sides intrigue me

    Both sides keep me close

    When I have one, I want the other 

    And when I have them both I want none 

    My lifestyle is confusing so I had to try it once 

    Till I reached my climax and things just got worse 

    My feelings get more confusing with every single verse 

    But I’ve learned how to live and I’ve learned how it works 

    I couldn’t go back to a life of lies

    I couldn’t go back to being just one same guy
