Who is Woman?
She is the one
Who created the men
With so much pain.
Who is Woman?
She is the one
Who loves us now and then,
But gets no love in return.
Who is Woman?
She is the one
Who takes so much burden
But gets no apprecition.
Who is Woman?
She is the one
Who gets beating
With stick and stone.
But All Mighty
A question too arise
Why does she keep quiet?
Why does not she fight?

to have a line
be nude of a person
to have a sky lifted
are the only things
loss equals
the shape of evenings
the sadness of rooms
and time
to be felt is the only thing
to touch.

Oh, my heart,
Like a town that lacks its fencing,
You defenseless, standing wall less,
Do not tell whom you are missing,
Do not stand up ‘gainst the wind,
Let it blow, soulless and idling,
Handing words round ‘long the road,
Let it not tell what it wishes,
Let it hear what it unwishes,
Do not call it, do not tell it
That you’re living, you’re alive!

Write me a story
Tell me a poem
Sing me a song
Please don’t leave me all alone
My head is spinning
My gut hurts
My heart broken
Into a thousand pieces
I’ve never been in such pain
I’ve never seen the stars so bright
Please somebody make it night
I lay in bed time never ticks away
Tell me I’ll be alright
Maybe I can sleep tonight

I’m so tired

Did you narrowly escape the day
Did the stress almost get you
Did the memories catch you
And the worries I bet you
Were right on your heels
They got there so quickly right along with the bills
Did you take time to pray
Did you narrowly escape the day
And tomorrow you'll be running and running again
Running into something to break or bend
Some call it the rat race and lately it's picked up the pace
Do you have someone who will give you an embrace
Your blood pressure is increasing
Your dreams still have you reaching
And your doctor tells you what a price you will pay
Did you narrowly escape the day

I wish you were near
You were hear
In this dark blue night
After the wind is blown
Bringing the soothing rain
Where the air is cool and cam
When the breeze brings
The scent of moist earth
When the rain drops falls
Cracking on the ground
Just like drops of glass
Rhyming slowing with my
Heaving heart
When I listen to the night birds singing
In the distant trees
As songs of of lost love
That rings in my heart
When I try to embrace dreams
But Awakened to
Soft hustling sounds of rain
When night fades
Smeared in my tears
I wish you were here
I wish you were near

People, what is happening to us?
Conscience under anesthesia,
And the souls have gone blind
Every day there is less and less
Honor,
Less and less light
We're going with the flow
And our hope fades
We're burning down
Filling our emptiness
With fragments of faith.
I'm standing on the edge of the abyss
And my scream breaks
The vanity of existence
Turning melancholy into words.

Is it that time of year
With lots of cheer
We wish you a merry xmas
The cries ring out
Music plays we wish a merry xmas
I dont feel happy i feel sad
Gone is santa his present un opened
Lies where it was a decade ago
How the spirit broken the fun laughter gone
Should i laugh should i cry
My heart lays broken
Time flown
Decades gone
Where has xmas gone

Ocean waves covered her up as she sank inside.
Her wings withered as she died.
She could no longer feel nor breathe.
The universe urged her soul to seize.
She couldn't be...
the beautiful flower she was meant to be.

Everything keeps happening at the speed of life
Why do memories wait so long
Before they start looking back at the speed of life
There's something you want to say
Somewhere you want to be
Someone you long to see
Somehow it happens as suddenly as saying good night
And once yesterday wasn't so far out of sight
But that was when we never thought about the speed of life
Maybe we should have prayed when we were young
That life would have stayed as it had begun
And now lonely has become the meaning of quiet
There's something you want to say
But who will hear the words that fade away
At the speed of life
