Frames Of Escapism

He walks into the familiar room

Gaudy flashes of tired souls shift upon the floor

Dizzied from the sultry smell of cheap alcohol and illusioned dopamine

Complemented by a rowdy tune, making its way through the speakers to those heedless ears

Broken wine glasses lie on the ground

He watches,

As the dark liquid slowly makes little paths of its own

Through old boots and faded high heels

Lost in a parted dream to withhold...


Taking one more step,she dashes another mile

The slender lines of each lane merge with her seared panting

She battles with both hands of the clock

Desperate to reach the finishing line that constantly alters beneath the hazy horizon

Though medals of gold embrace her neck

She had never tasted victory on her deadend tongue

So she runs to find the true feeling of appreciation she devotedly needs...


He turns left,hoping to be right this time

Numbed shoulders head towards the freshly prosaic labyrinth

Frozen snares of broken mirrors haunt him once again

Virulent laughters come sliding from every crack

He knows they will stop soon

Yet what he fears is their echos clinging onto the silent circles under his eyes,

Darkened brutally by the lonely nights without dreams of amethyst to spare...


Her eyes adjust to the melanoid moonlight

Dried pupils search around the suffocating room

Blinds drawn shut

Limb bodies stacked every corner quietly rusting without a soul

Tall walls taste of their lost tears,kept hidden of shame

Another day chisled by their alienated ,tawny bones

Horrified by the scene,she tries to let out a bitter scream

Yet later she realises the glue of her own fears drying on her cracked lips...


Frames of escapism hammered on the wall

Around every corner of the street

Among the muddy footsteps on the snow

Was the winter so cold?

When did we become strangers to our own fingerprints?

When did we begin running away from the reflections inside?

Maybe, its time for a change...


Lets pour ourselves a glass of introspection

Get drunk by insight

Lets run with our eyes closed

Feel the wind on our hair,the warmth through our muscles

Lets look straight at the mirrors

Find the right way through the reflection as a whole,not the cracks

Without fear,lets open the blinds

Show the sunlight the beauty of our tears

Lets not hammer more frames,

But nails of hope instead...

To Be A Shadow

Good morning!
How are you today?
How was your weekend?
Are you okay?
It was great talking to you again!
Hope to see you soon....

Seem familiar?
These trite phrases of daily social regime
Yet does any actually mean a thing?
The replies produced of languid smiles and expected lies seems to say it all
Yet the order is never to be restored...

Who am I to judge you might say
Maybe I don't even exist in this world of yours
Maybe I'm nothing but merely an illusion
But I've been to many places ,seen too many faces to just stay that way
So listen if you might,or simply ignore me once again...

I've been all around the world
Molding myself into millions of different shapes and forms
Devotedly searching for the freedom I've never known
The freedom of feeling,the freedom of being, just like my walking hosts
I long to touch and smell,to laugh and cry,to breathe and die...

But it was later that I found out,
Those bodies I followed didn't really exist either
They only held plastic pink roses and pretended to smell the earthly scent
They painted their emotions grey and wore glasses coloured of lies
Was that any diffrent from a shadows life like mine?

When the sun bowed to the stars
When I became whole under the raven sky's embrace
When I sang my hosts goodbye
When those fabricated glasses were left on empty nightstands
When the grey paint was washed away
When suddenly bright colours lit bravely along with the moon
I realised the truth,
I realised I wasn't the illusion
I didn't need a vessel to be real,I needed a soul
I didn't need a flesh to feel,I needed emotions
Nor did I need a a shape to form into,
I just needed to accept myself as a whole...

The Creations Song

I can hear it!

I can hear the creations song

Tasting of a doleful note

Yet that's what makes it so beautiful

Just like the heartbreaking beauty of the sunset...
 

It hides under the wind

Through the scarlett leaves sailing by

And the shades of green waiting to fly

All swaying in different directions

Yet all know the branches where their fragile veins first became to die...
 

It hides in the rain

Notes carved on each drop

Just like the arched movements of a poets pen

Similar...

Yet none sculpted the same
 

I let it tickle my skin

I feel it taking the shape of my pores

I let it wash through me

A tear escapes to unite with the rain

A smile blossoms to reach the wind

A heart unfolds to join in the sweet rhythm

A soul is freed to embrace the beauty of its darkest secrets

Too long they've been on hold

A kiss seals them with it's warmth

It's time for freedom to take it's toll...

I can hear it!

I can hear the creations song

Tasting of a doleful note

But now,

I can also 'feel' it....

　

The One's Left Untold

Crowded

Too many voices here

Reckless

Too many lies pretended to be sincere


Our tears are suffocating in time

Numbness strokes our soul

We've no more reflections to withhold

For we're the lie above all and beyond


Stranded

Too many prayers left unheard

Cold

Too many hearts have been interred


Why are so many hands bare of loves warmth?

Instead flooded with sullen air and vapid explanations

Just creating more puzzles to be solved

Except the missing piece is the compassion yearning to be evolved


Lonely

Too many faces stand dissolved

Tired

Too many eyelids wearing down before sunrise has been absolved


Swaying in our own stories

We are the ones left untold

Hidden behind a love poem or another sad tune

Or maybe among the snow falling down in june

Even under the cracks of the moon...

Our existence will always be questioned

But it cant be denied

Though our bodys may be forgotten and pushed aside

Our memories will be forever standing beside...　

　

　

　

　

　

The City Without Lights

Ever stopped for a second?
Just to watch the flickering lights in the city
Ever stayed up all night?
Just to watch the dark kindle with the light


But have you ever wondered,
What it would be like if there were no lights?
Except for the muted shivers of the moon
And the droplets hidden in the winds of monsoon


Where will the beauty go when deprived of simulated glimmer?
How would you find your way without flashing symbols and signs?
What use will a shattered mirror be?
Who will you blame to find a lie to agree?


Confused, you walk the unknown road
Hope the dark will be your companion through the veil
Yet you feel more exposed
For there is no flash to be posed


As your eyes slowly adjust to the nightfall
Your pupils unfold with the awe of a new sight
You let your tears dance with the intrinsic vibrancy
The soil has awoken with the soft scent of benignancy


Your soul speaks through the wings of fireflies
Through the sapphire waves of the ocean
A reflection of a child is formed under the brims of blue
With moist eyes so familiar to you...


Do you remember her?
How she used to smile
Without proudly gained titles before her name
Without a society crafted frame


Although you might feel like a stranger to her
She knows who you are
Although you might think she belongs to the past
She is here to last


Embrace her for who she is
Love her for her genuine flaws
Hold her hand to let her know youre here too
Dont hide her,let her through....


As the dawn greets the city without lights
And the silhouettes are tangled in the crowd
Remember what it was like under moons lost spark
The truth is more visible in the dark...

Control...

An old poem about losing control while trying to gain it...

Awake again
Under the faded moon
Under the deathly visions of misunderstanding eyes
Gently floating over the sweet scent of an ethereal nightmare

The mordant touch of emptiness once again clinches onto my skin
Taunts me as it slowly settles in
Tainting my hope with a bitter gnaw
Sealed wounds open to let out our sacred tears

Let these streams of silence caress my cheeks
Soon they'll turn into scarlett mirrors on my lips
I'll let each one whisper me their forgotten story
Let them fall freely as I watch their broken shadows hit the floor

I'll pretend that I dont see the reflection beside me
Paint the pain with my screams
Torture myself with the same thoughts of a diseased mind
Dream away the hollow fire burning inside....

What happened?
Did I go too far?
Have I lost myself?
I hate change!
I want stability!
I just wanted some control!
To feel 'whole'.....
Fill up my minds empty hole...

But the more I fed the pain
The more rapacious fear became
Thoughts couldnt slow down anymore
Hours of intrusive silence was all I had

I just wanted control...
And the price was my mortal soul......

Dear Seeker

Just came to my mind last night...

You stand on the edge
Of twisting roads and solitude marked signs
An ancient game has begun
The rules are strict
Shifted around with every new perspective to be lost
And the prize is yet to be found

You inhale the persipicacity soaked dust born with every new step
Then exale another memory to be carved under the soil behind you
To merge together with the others before you
The stories of the million footprints searching for their price
In truth seeking the logic behind the rules
The meaning of the game everyone else seems to be playing...

In reality dont we all?
Dont you?
We are all seekers
Lost in our own ways
Looking over a fabricated version of reality
Trying to find the most genuine looking lie among others

We're searching at the wrong place
Swaying in the past, pondering over every tear and smile once shed
Stuttering through the future,calculating consequences and chasing dreams
Meanwhile...
Crawling through today,forgetting the essence of every breath we ever took or will take,
The answer to both our struggles with the past and curiosity of the future

Dear seeker,
The meaning rests in the journey
Not the destination
The rules become clear when ones perception can bind with others eyes
The game is won when you take time to appreciate every minute you've come near to losing
Not when you think you've found the prize....

Dear seeker,
I wrote this poem for you
I hope you will finally find your way
While you savor every step you take
Who knows?
Maybe one day our paths may meet
This time I'll listen to every word blooming from your lips
Till then take care and never give up...

-Another lost seeker

Forgive Me

I look over the sun

Unable to ease my naked vison from its sorrow baked rays

It hurts to see,

All of the pain reality alights....


I hear the crimson shadows lurching through the rusty air

Their screams stuck on their fragile skin

Angst bubbling up under their numbed blood

Dormant until ashes of tears are ready to erupt


But the worst part is to look at their frozen eyes

The depth of the silence in their lost gaze is killing me

So please!

Please...save me from this scorching nightmare...


I want to be beside you

I want the power to let go

I want the courage to accept change

I want the harmony to coalesce with the past

I want the memory to remember how to breathe again

I'm tired......

I want your promise to help me stay

I want your forgiveness for closing my eyes to finally find your way....

Can't you see?

So sick of it all....

Cant you see?
How your words hurt me
Like wounded daggers aimed straight to my heart
But the imbued silence in your eyes are much worse
For they dig deeper down to my souls hearse

Maybe you're telling the truth
But I dont want to know
Nor do I want sugar-coated lies
I just want your faith in my blithe despondency
Help me calm down my minds ambivalency

Words are never enough to breathe my feelings into you
Neither are these evanescent tears
So just look through me
Can you hear the ink swaying on the paper?
Freeing those invisible screams under the algid vapour

Sceams of delusion that was never cleared
Screams of hatred hidden behind layers of hurt
Screams pain to be endured
Screams of shame to be cured
Screams repeating to be inured...

An infinite cycle of alienation
Trying to make it better
But making it worse instead
Filled with withering images the cycle repeats again
Over and over until routine comes to reign

Do you see now?
But you never did
Neither did they
So please dont ask me anymore questions
There is no explination
Only one demonstration
Our only solution
Let me release my soul to our irenic isolation
Maybe then I'll return with my salvation...

Promise Yourself

Just a poem about my thoughts on the society today

Promise Yourself

Open your eyes
Its time for a new start
A fresh day has risen upon the clouds
Look through the mirror
Carefully paint on a smile
Try not to smudge it with your tears
With being yourself....

When you close that door
Dont forget to wear your mask
Your golden ticket to social inclusion
Proof of your personal existence
Both proud and somber to have earned it,
Gradually walk into the street

Millions of people
Each doing the same thing at a different place
Rushing with the minutes shed by the clock
Where are we all going to?
Who we competing against?
When we dont even have the time to stop and breathe in the essence of life...

You are scared of judgement
You are scared of failing
You feel unappreciated
You feel detatched
You feel misunderstood
But so do they
For emotions are a part of being human

Then why is there so much pain engraved into our names?
What is the reason to this constant emulation?
Why are so many lips smiling while their souls are mourning for freedom?
Why are we living in a World of just black and White?
Have we forgotten the shades of grey?
Blinded by the pressure to survive
While letting our true selfs die...

Life is not about finding yourself,its about creating yourself they say
So you can finally say that I'm...
Hanging diplomas and college degrees on our walls
Hiding behind a social role
But these can only give us the script,
Not the ability to act
How can we define the I when we dont even know who it is?

So please stop dashing with what time has to offer
Or just using it as your escape
No,time wont heal your wounds
But you eventually learn to embrace your sorrow
That no bird can ever fly without falling down first
The only cage around it is fear of falling again
The only key to freedom is fortitude

When the moon alights
Promise yourself,promise me to revive
Burn your masks in your fire of rectitude
Write a poem to the clear midnight air
Whisper to the rain
With no more fearful lies
Say you'll live today
With no more screams to fray...

Holding On

Frozen,she lies on the floor
The reckless flames of her burning soul seek an escape from their rotten cage
Her perishing gaze glinting over its shattered reflection
Bruised fingers tapping along to the rhytm of the rain
Her tired heart once again trys to pump up life....
Despite the constant screams of it’s distorted mind

Holding on becomes a struggle
When emotions die while promises lie
When peace is found under the wings of pain
When tears dry up and let the drought of hopelessness rule her mind
When diciplined thoughts interlock with her frantic feelings....

Now crawling on her knees,she tires to get up again
Fearing her every step
For she will be sacrificing her only weapon against emptiness,
(Pain)
Her only key to the insanity that keeps her sane....

Nails digging up on dirt
Scratching out her lonely words
Prayers hung up on the barren air
Waiting to be swept by the breezes of hope
To finally answer her forlorn calls

Now standing up
Her tears watering her broken soul
Her eyes fixed with determination
She holds her heart under her clinched fists
Her mind is now stronger with the screams of old memories
Willing to take the risk
She holds on....

The Anthem Of Our Secluded Memories

Just felt like writing a poem...

Do you remember?
Remember this very day?
Still so bitterly fresh in your mind
Can you hear the anthem of our secluded memories shattering your plastic protection?

Slowly the images will start to drift in
Captivating your mind using the contrast of innocent rain and roaring thunder
Little teardrops frozen on the window pane
Trapped by lost stares
A poem carved on the musty air
Misunderstood,for the ending lies behind the lines
Path to revcovery ended with proven lies
Decided for you even before the start
Pulsing pain cured by the protection of chemical theories
Who knew it would be so easy to swallow your fear?!
Angst collected by every word left unsaid
Dusted away by every syllable combusting in the air
Along with the desperate silence in your every breath....

Do you remember now?
If so,sing along with me
The anthem of our secluded memories
We’ll keep on singing it
For we both know that ,
Although we have forgiven,
All is not yet forgotten…

Solitude

I confide in solitude

Sunken whispers entwine with the silent words

Foresaken by griefs frozen breath

Sealed with another dark kiss


I let it take over me

Let it seize my soul

Let the pain unfold

So the emptiness inside withdraws....


I confide in solitude

The familiar taste of candied lies

The sweet protection of choreographed dreams

An iron cage built by my fears


I let it take over me

Let it seize my soul

Let the pain unfold

So the emptiness inside withdraws....


I confide in you

I confide in these secret tears we share

I confide in the poison streaming through our veins

I confide in this last breath we share

I confide in heavens despair.....

All I want...

Just confused emotions I guess....

My four walls of hostility are drawing closer again
Each one representing my four loyal friends;
Pain,emptiness,anger and fear...
Their eyes scowl and their lips sneer

Once again they sing their bitter anthem
Every word that rolls out of their tongues
Buds into static hisses
As the past reminisces

Now my mind is drowning in senile memories
As I stagger between two worlds Ive never belonged into
I dont want to wish upon yesterday and escape into the wonders of imagination
Nor do I want to remain stuck behind the walls of today
All I want...
Is to unite with the mauve hopes of tommorow....

To Bid You Farewell...

Walking along an empty path
Every step I take is gilded by decayed roses
Their petals swept away by the winds of betrayal
Chanting away our grim fate....

I still remember your promises
Now turned into ashes burning under the cracks in my heart
And here you are asking me if you can glue them back together
Honey...dont you know whats already broken cannot be mended ?

The truth is I will never be whole again
Because you were my other half
But I guess the one I saw as true..wasnt you
It was  your facade of lies....

Im here for the last time
So please,just listen to my tears
They will sing you hymns of a forgotten tale
They will whisper you these chains of lost poems that I hung behind my pain
They are here....
To finally bid you farewell....,

Requiem For The Nameless Dead

Just a couple of lines I wrote at school...

Sweet silence of solitude appears behind the moon
Echos in the midnight sky
Soon they will turn into screams of suffering
Burning feathers of fear swifting along the frigid air

Trapped in a broken cage
Crafted from shattered hopes
I lie awake
Wishing I can get blinded by tears to escape from this hell

But those tears that once watered my soul
Seems to have faded away...
Lost in the forgotten lullaby of truth,
A requiem for the nameless dead

I give up!
So I let this eternal symphony embrace my soul
Let these words kill me over and over again...
Who cares?
Im dead anyway....

Miserable Eyes

Feeling depressed....

Miserable eyes,
Envincing painful truths and comforting lies
As their fatal visions die,
Tears of darkened hope start leaking from the walls built inside...

Miserable eyes,
Shining with fraudulent felicity
Torment disguised beneath a layer of sweet eccentricity
Emotions full of blurred complexity
Speaking their words of profanity

Miserable eyes,
Nobody seems to read their lost tears
Their repressed songs of sorrow nobody hears
Nobody can see through their lonely fears
They dont know how it feels....

Miserable eyes,
Afraid eyes,
Calamitous eyes,
Hurt eyes.....

As their lids get heavy
They cant bear to see this nightmare anymore
So they dream away the pain
Letting these crimson words of mourning decay.....

Flames Of Hope

Just complicated emotions,I had to write down...

I can see the flames burning away

Soft blaze of tangerine and scarlett

As I let the indefinite flare embrace my soul

I can see your reflection

Your amber eyes shine brightly

Giving me the courage to hold on

Dont be afraid you say

Let the ashes cover your fear

Livid dust scattered all over the floor

A reflection of past memories

Now withered by hope

I wont let go…

I collect the dust with my tears

Slowly blow them away with my smiles

As they swift along the sky

I know its going to be okay

Because now I know that..

Although I am lonely in this,

I am not alone….

The Sound Of Life

Time goes by so fast.....

Standing alone among the shadows
Around me are bold colours rushing by
From every second flying away i just cant foreclose
They become clouds slowly swifting along the sky

Looking behind shattered windows
All I can see is a hazy horizon of bent hopes
Tears shed upon one single rose
Tunnels of silent echos

Empty roads
Unfamiliar faces
Lost words
Forgotten songs...

Please slow down the time!
I need to remember how to breathe
I need to remember that lost chime
The sound of life floating beside.....

The Midnight Sun

Onyx clouds spread over the sky
Welcoming the stars with their enigmatic embrace
Among them shines the midnight sun
Lights up the sky with innocent rays of repose

Slowly it covers the sorrows of the day
Hides all of the lies that has been exaled above
So gentle and elegant
Enlightens all of the forgotten tales of truth

The roads below are sleeping away
Lost in their imagination of reality
But they only know half of the story
For they can only see whats reflected by the suns fake luminosity

Thats why I love the dark
It elucidates whats behind that reflection
The truth lies under the dark veil...

Another random poem :)
