Cracks and Skulls

Blood and tears
broken skulls along our path
crying and pleading to be saved
with a pitiful smile she came
her body covered from head to toe, bringing the gift of death.

Blood and skulls
curse our fears
lay strewn in beautiful chaos along our path
dripping eyes and broken lips
curve into a sad toothless smile

Pale faces and broken bones
we dance in the dark
the music our soulful dirge
wandering through the earth hoping to find peace

Cracks and bones
eyes blinded with dripping blood
searching through the carnage
to fix the broken parts of our bodies
legs sprawled, hands torn, noses broken
torn as the shrapnel tears us apart
tears turn to blood, heads turn to skulls
the fireworks crack exploding in the sky
it is a season of frenzy
but our remains lie scattered through the earth by the north wave
our lips curved in a laughter of sadness.

YOU ARE ME

Two faced, heads and tail

Two hues, Black and white

My gay meets your cheer

My melancholy fuse your sour

But we the same in all our hues

A vicious viper my venom spit

A graceful gladiator my feature glides

Of choices, good or bad or worse

Gracious much in giving our best

But thank rarely while receiving the rest

Yet I am the other side you hate to see

Lighted morning, becomes dark night

Bent as a male, cinched like a female

Wondering why my ‎calm rustle your might

And why I up should take you down

Letting my bubble give you a shuffle

I'm just a shadow of your imagined fright 

We the same in world's big difference

Making cold, what's hot in life's system

Accepting your strength shines my weakness

Letting your brawn fade my meekness

Like broken stanza building an anthem

We make godlike was only human.

Sometimes I’m fine, sometimes you’re right

I’m but a part of your detailed prose

Phrasing your verbs and inking your chapter

Just love this part and make to whole

It’s the reflection of your broken image 

NO PERMISSION

So it crossed your mind, and it felt easier,  or it even feels like best choice at the moment. You are so wrong my dear.  It is the worst choice ever. Whether you believe it or not,  you don't have permission to give up. You can't walk away from that dream. Your goal can't just stop making a meaning to you. You are not allowed to end that dream.

Not now, not ever. You cant just pack up and leave. There are so many dreams dependent  on that one dream of yours. So many generations that will  fail just because you gave up. there are destinies hinged on your success. people waiting,wishing and hoping you never fail. a lot of success story waiting to be told because of your singular bravery of persistence and doggedness. too many dreams waiting to sparkle only when you. So no dear, you have no permission to quit. There are the silent onlookers, waiting, rooting for you to succeed so they can feel motivated to try theirs. Your  failure  means failure on their path too, even though they never started at all. 

You giving up, will make them doubt there is ever hope to their own dreams coming to pass. You have no permission to give up sir. Even when it feels tough, you toughen up, when people look at you and wonder why you are bent on succeeding, tell them you have no permission to give up. If the times add up against you, tell it you have no permission still. If your head tells you to quit, remind it your heart leads and your  head follows, and permission is far from your heart. when moments seem to make you contemplate quitting, refuse to listen, insist you can't disappoint the people waiting on you to beckon on them to walk your path of success. So whatever you do, no matter how you feel. You can't give up. ask yourself why your dream matters, remind yourself why you started in the first place, renew your commitment to succeed, tell your mind to listen to you, make your actions trust your believe, and never for once give yourself a permission to give up.

No,just as you don't need anyone's permission to succeed, you have no permission to give up either. 

LOST FREEDOM

The chain that fell still held me captive
the open gates imprisoned me still
while the fallen walls barricaded me
This inept love lost your intelligence
My babble couldn’t comprehend your silence
I wish I know more.
Will your hand still reach my back?

Drown against the tide
Crushed beneath this wave
the oxygen was toxic
I breathe all you give still
Good or bad,
Now I know not the difference.
This clipped wing didn't know to fly.



And the root grew no more
This vision couldn't see
my strength showed its weakness
When I looked to win lost war
Hating the one who stayed
 He whom my heart loves
Took with him my will.


Seeing the closed gate open
Left me pained afresh
Wondering if the outside wants this loner out
Know not how to move
Used to the chains, I fear freedom
Built in pain, I don't know to answer liberty
My love left me confined here.

You left and took my being with you
I will never know not to be confused
Your freedom left me in servitude
Forever looking on the open gate.
