    what can go wrong will go wrong

    Like a wheel of fortune
    Life keeps spinning round and round
    Skipping chances and big wins
    A lucky strike is not allowed

    You might try hard to survive
    To be the best and beat the rest
    But in the end you'll feel the knife
    That life stuck right through your chest

    The plans you made for future's sake
    Vanish when you picture them
    Overthrow the risks to make
    Life as sweet as fiction can
              
    Is there any way to know
    Which way to bliss you have to go?
    So you might win this dead-end fight
    And make the wrong things turn out right

    What can go wrong will surely do
    But if you spin the wheel once more
    You'll find what can work out will too
    And now you should try and challenge life and get the things you're looking for

    the failures of life

    Subliminal jealousy
    It's a pity
    Why do you keep measuring my devotion?

    You think I will leave but it's only
    Your conceited truth
    That could make us drift apart

    But I won't let it come that far
    Because I learned and I am loyal
    And now I'm sounding just like you

    When we'd be the purest souls
    Perfect people in imperfect circumstances
    Colliding and repelling just like magnets

    I failed to say the things I should
    When the moment was right
    Too late, wrong time, wrong choice of words

    I thought you knew but you keep guessing
    Can't be pleased by my reactions
    Would I even choose you if things were different?

    I never thought I could be one of the lost ones
    Talking about heartbreaks and isolation and the typical downfalls of an obliterated life
    Then I fell right into it

    pictures last longer than words

    A photograph
    It makes the present stay alive
    Makes a distant past revive
    Happy faces, words unspoken
    Dreams held so close, now passed and broken
    A second's glance will last forever
    When sweet words of future turn to never

    A photo
    It conserves the love when the magic is gone
    Reflecting diamond days done like the last rays of sun
    Memories of a summer when friendships were made
    Forever on paper, though the colours may fade
    Stains of coffee, to cover the memories
    Hidden in bookshelves, lost, precious remedies

    A picture
    It makes a kiss never end and hopes never cease
    A life eternally carved on a frieze
    Two souls, once connected, now we're apart
    You are an image burnt in my heart
    It's love's and life's most prominent curse -
    Pictures last longer than words

    happy

    I was happy once
    So happy to be alive
    So happy to be me
    Now my heart's broken
    I'm on the floor
    Too scared to push the knife deeper into my skin
    When did it all go wrong?
    When the people you trusted
    The ones supposed to be the most important ones in your life
    Are the reason for your devastation
    Is it your fault?

    a good thing never ends

     

    You said you'd never leave me
    And I, I did believe you
    For there could never be
    Another one for me like you

    At first I didn't know you
    Though I really wanted to
    You talked to me, a simple 'hey'
    Was the cause of my happiness, everyday

    I said the right things and you wanted to see me
    We met and everything was as it should be
    We parted and promised to reunite
    Instead it all ended up in a fight

    You said good things happen and I must say
    The time I could spend with you has been the best day
    Now you left me and with you you took my life's sense
    You seem to forget that a good thing never ends

    what would you think?

    Would you think he's right for me?
    Treating me like he should be
    Or would you think that he's all wrong
    That I should not be hanging on?

    He reminds me of you
    And I never give my heart away until a love is true
    But sometimes I wonder if he
    Is really in love with me

    I sometimes see your face in his
    Do I love him because of this?
    No, he really has my heart
    I knew it right from the start

    I wish he was as strong as you
    Persistent, confident and true
    Heart as pure as gold
    When we loved each other in the days of old

    He's not mine to fill your place
    I'd give my life to see your face
    But somehow he has made his way
    Right into my heart to stay

    THE LETTER...

    DEAR SANTA...

    ...

    A little boy in Africa, wrote Santa Claus a letter,

    He asked for medication, to help his friends get better,

    An end to hostile conflicts, so children would stop dying,

    When he sat and read it, St Nicholas started crying.

    ....

    He saw a world in chaos, where children were not safe,

    They struggled for survival, threatened by the Wraith,

    Slaughtered in their thousands by scum like Tony Blair,

    A liar and a coward, devoid of human care.

    ....

    His eyes were finally opened to a world, built on repression,

    Leak Valley


         
        Among the fragility ruins of my soul, I still keep curious melodies, to see if there will be anyone else who will listen and think: if you have hurt Someone in the self of falling mirror tiles, how will you comfort the fall ?! In the promises of nowhere opportunities, I am disappointed daily: Were there any at all who considered the keeping of the Promise at all ?!
         
        Story has broken down into facts, yet it has finally been licked with ugly ends! In my final desperation, despair often sticks to the "how to proceed" - executioner's rope! If the extended Silence explodes in me: I will divide myself between the gaps of fear and reason! Who else, with their eyes closed, can discover the true Truths of petal falls that experience Truth?
         
        Is the Continuous Rich Word Falling into a Memory Appearance? I w...
