The truce

AM/PM

I must remember this incredible moment

I need to remind myself that there’s still hope

I’m waving goodbye to trivial torments

And welcoming a reality I can certainly cope

Even if death threatens me again

I ought to carve these hours in my mind

No restraints for happiness shall remain

If I let go of all the hatred and start to be kind

I dare to bathe in the purest simplicity of the calm weather

And be swallowed by the comfort of the placid silence

I hover above the moon while the wind carries me as a feather

I kiss the stars while the thunder greets me with no violence

As I stay in touch with the message of a fortunate season

A joy unexpected, a gift thoroughly blessed

Turns all my uncertainties in mute oblivion

So I dress my soul with the felicity vest

I listen to the growing beatings knocking on my chest

And I allow prosperity to be my special guest

Maybe it’s not too late to breathe in and breathe out in my own pace

There’s much more to be loved, relished and saved

There are landscapes to be cherished and horizons to be appreciated

There are statues asking to come to life, poetry begging to be engraved.

I feel exultation in the promise of a colorful tomorrow

Sweet new surprises, no salty tears, just the rapture of delight

I see a promising rainbow I may trustfully follow

The dawn has come, bearing a blissful daylight

I’m being held captive by the brightest sun

Pleasure is consuming me, at last my eyes begin to shine

I feel consciously alive and inclined to have fun

All the pain is gone for the very first time

Heaven threw me ropes I can easily climb

The clouds are now clearly open wide

Like white pillows in the sky inviting me to fly

The dormant heart keeps begging to rise

And these bruised old hands insist to write

Though they constantly writhe and writhe in past demise.

Still mourning a forgotten pitiful cry

I know these fingers miss the sorrow and chaos,

They are used to the darkness, a gloom without rails

Yet I shall take over their ill will

I’m the one who spells the words in a single reel.

I’ll make these broken limbs my own paintbrush

I’ll pretend to be the artist without goals or lust.

The beastly beauty is out there, it’s time to go get it

That fake jewel has a gleam that I’m sure I can have it

I’ve got to run and chase my muse, record an image I can use

Bleed upon my supposed “creation”

Nothing is mine,

Cause it’s borrowed from a cheap nature interpretation

I sign my name and add,

World is a fertile ground for imagination

I hear the applause, my blood pulse

I feel my body tremble with anticipation.

I suck the venom of ugliness disguised as grace

I’ll drink my lament some other time

I eat away at the pride they stamp on my face

It will probably wither away late at night

It’s my choice to combine a few lighter rhymes

And swallow this battle of dreams I can’t cast aside

Sadness mustn’t rule my awaited freedom or that delayed smile

I’ve learnt to forsake my fears in a far deserted isle

It’s never wise to hide,

I should’ve known better

Death ceased to be that obvious exit I could rely,

Verses and rhythm are what matter

Time to hold my head up high,

Lines and stanzas I aim to scatter

They cannot take what’s mine

Even though what I have someday might shatter.

Looking for an inspiration_updates (more about me)

OK! Today I'm letting you know a bit more about what's goin' on with my life!:) I haven't been around much lately. Yes, it's sad but true. I can't do several things at the same time, and when I'm pressured, my writing sucks, it's a fact. Actually I'm having lots of things to deal with at the moment, not only at work or college, but some relationships of mine are being threatened by death. Few people I know, those I can consider friends and those who play a great role in my life are pretty sick or simlpy drifting away. Many matters of the heart to take care of, so you see, I guess my literay productian was a bit cast aside, unfortunately. But I'm still alive and kicking, rhyming something here, composing something there...In a supernaturally slow pace, I must add. Not having much fun lately, obviously. Movies, mangas, music and designing were put in second place. Above all I miss playing my acoustic guitar sometimes, and I know that if I don't

Momentous

Now I quietly left my stone cave I think I feel a bit less heartsick I do not scare myself anymore I have grown out of my hardships I look at the sun instead of the moon I won over defeat with a hard kick I smile even when my lips quiver I learnt to endure and slowly resist I chose writing instead of weeping I challenged depression warships I move on with my brand new cloak I now wear heavy layers of lordship My hands are made of unbreakable steel Though surrounded by trembling thunders I often manage to stay firm on my heels Tomorrow I might even be six feet under I am constantly preparing my last meal My mind no longer frets or slumber At any second, I might face life’s ordeals Each joy and adventure I shall plunder I now control both struggle and repeal Lately I am eager to satisfy a hunger That once made me suffer and squeal Yesterday I was prey, now I am hunter Behold the one and only taking the wheel My fists can make

"Do you like being food for the immortals? Do you like dying?"

Image
Foreverafter Dammed be eternity Which cursed and sentenced my eyes to witness the lives of those whom I love, be reduced to dust I watch them born, I behold them die I wait as they grow up and also grow old I see their flaws, see they work them out I observe their passions, laugh when they fall hard I appreciate their growing light, their cheerful enthusiasm Their foolish dreams, their uncertain paths Their worthless greed and senseless wars Their pitiful regret and countless faults I respect their obsessions, their hunger for possessions Their fear of damnation and unstoppable seek for salvation I understand their pain, I mourn for their losses I listen to their whims, rejoice with their noises I grieve for their bad deeds, when they burn alive the seas Then they amaze me again, with their charm and impeccable smile But then later I inevitably cry for a while, when they infallibly start to run out of time.
