Softly spoken For my country, softly spoken but spoken not with softer words. For is it silence, Silence even when spoke aloud? The vicissitudes and multitudes, A rainbow cacophony rolled into one. Birthed by tears that rain in torrents, And held up higher by smiles Trembling, But sturdier all the same. I see the sashaying swoosh, The gleeful trot down main street boulevard. Glasses held loftily, Libations to an iridescent god, Spinning above the throbbing congregation, Blessing each perspired face. A tribal hymn of purest pulse Racing up and hurried down and out en Masse. A nightly ritual to wash with sweat Away the da

Life goes tik tok Maybe that's just the clock? Time passing by With us just asking why? We want change When were all estrange? We want love When we push 'n' shove? We want peace When will the wars cease? Life goes tik tok Maybe that's just the clock? Time passing by With us just asking why? We want equality Without changing polity? We want power Without working an hour? We want freedom Without vexing the sheikdom? Life goes tik tok Maybe that's just the clock? Time passing by With us just asking why? We want wealth Trading away our health? We want beauty Trading away our sincerity? We want prosperity Trading away

So you caught me And I'll admit it I stole an apple From your apple tree That forbidden fruit was calling me I took a look, and it was so tantalizing And even if was not allowed, I'm just a little curious And curious is still innocent, isn't it? You tell me what this means I'll be cast out of heaven For an act as innocent as this? Maybe it isn't for me, your eternal bliss So you caught me And I'll admit I asked a question A taboo topic That question I could not leave unasked I found the answer, and just more questions I didn't mean to, I was just a little curious And curious is still innocent, isn't it? You tell me what th

The illness spreads: their skin becomes ashen We wish to help but contact would be deathly As the pain we feel for someone, for someone Pain deepened by the frustration And lingering in all the memos There is nothing: heavier then compassion Not even one's own pain weighs as heavy As the pain one feels for someone, for someone Pain intensified by the imagination And prolonged by a hundred echoes We try to forget: move on, that's the fashion We wish, to go back to normal, to just be carefree As pain we feel for someone, for someone Pain increased by the deception   And haunting of the wicked gallows We feel pain for

I never thought about it… just abused your trust I turned my back on you… in an attempt to be the coolest I just realised that what… we had was perfect I never meant what I said… I treated you with disrespect I wish I could just take it all back… and start again If I could I would make sure… to never cause you pain I was fake… everyone that really mattered left

I thought you were my friend That is what I called you anyway. But it seems that I was wrong, I know from this dagger in my back. Now I'm just confused, I should hate you logically But I don't. I want you feel my pain, But I also don't want you to hurt. I was your friend, until the very end There are so many secrets I could tell, So many promises I could break But I can't. I know that if it Were the other way round you would     My parents once compared us Said they wished I was more like you But now I think, hope, know That I am the better person.

If I met you, I know exactly what I'd say I'd declare stop taking that pill It's going to kill you someday It's not worth it no matter the thrill I would warn you, would you listen? If you did would it make a difference Would your blond hair still glisten? Would movies still have your brilliance? People think you're a sell-out You and I are on the same meds Maybe if someone had just helped you out They would never get you out of their heads

I see you in the hallway as your walking by Try to talk to you but I can't catch your eye Your hair cascades beautiful, a midnight black My heart beats like I'm having a heart attack You sat with me the other day, on the city bus No one else mattered felt like there was only us I wanted to ask I really did, but was afraid That if I did from your mind I would fade But I need to know ASAP Do you love me?

i'd like to paint you the colour of the moon and hang you up among the dark night skies. i'd watch you from my room when i should be sleeping and worship you with my eyes. i'd cut out little pieces of your eyes to string across the heavens and all would question the bright emerald stars that fill that space, but you'd still effortlessly outshine the sun. i'd feather your touch into the cool breeze, so the world might feel the burning sensation. and i'd spend all night outside in that air just to ease the sharp bite of our separation. i'd pluck your heart out from its cold casing and lock it up inside my chest, next to mine. beca
