Let me hold your fears
Let me dry your tears
Let me be there till your vision clears
Let me hug you through all that sears
And till all pain disappears
Let me map out your stars
See them blaring through your scars
Let me soothe a crease
Let me put you at ease
And loosen your lease

Constantly pushing through
Against the borders of this house
Trying to find new ways to look at you
Since you're never constant
And I'm not either
So it's easy and difficult at the same time
Cause we're expected to be habitual
But programmed to evolve
How do we balance?
Between the two opposites of dynamics and statics?
How can we accept?
Told to be stable, but constantly changing nevertheless
How can we break free?
Cause we're tied to our fundament built by expectations and our need for self
But we cannot script ourselves
So we cling to the past and we worry for the future
Cause tomorrow it can all change

I can feel the air through my nose
As I breathe in and out my mind in a doze
I gently shut my eyes
And spring arises
And I can hear quiet
There is no riot
And I can hear silence
There is balance
I hear nothing
And it's colourful flowers blushing
It's melodious birds chirping
It's playful dogs barking
It's a cool river on a hot summer day
And so I feel my mind hit a gentle sway
Because there's life and there's decay
And one day I will be silence
And earth will continue to balance
Even though I am forever absent

I've been struggling lately
Been worrying slightly
The trees might be green
And the sunshine might even gleam
But I've been dreaming
My mind screaming
What if you disappear
Away into the hemisphere
What if you went missing
And all I'm left with is reminiscing
Of lost moments
What if my dreams are omens
What if they're grieving
That you're actually leaving
And what will I do
Without you
Cause I've been thinking
Since everyone's shrinking
But what can they do?
Compared to you
Not a single soul
Is as whole
As yours
I'd like to love someone
Like I love you
But there's no one
Not even a single soul
Like yours

We're separated
Even though the snow has slowly evaporated
The earth is filled with sunlit spaces
But the city is left alone in crowdless mazes
We're left to ourselves
In our own little cells
Searching for that glimpse of spring
Longing for past anything
Isolated from distraction
In fear of contraction
We're naked
Because we realize we're faded
Humans with no cause
Now that our daily lives hit pause
We're left alone to think
Watching our lives as we blink
Watching our innards unravel
And we might realize we contain nothing but gravel
Hopefully we're evolving
And we can heal from resolving
Emerge as a better being
Become someone seeing
Attain a reflected inner mind
Become someone true and kind
Instead of cruel and blind

I aspire instantly
And so I spiral constantly
Downward pressure on my shoulders
And I can feel it getting colder
Cause I can't find a way through
And I can't find a way out
I'm stuck in this dumb roundabout
And I own every piece
But sometimes I would rather be deceased
Than live another day of my life
I live in a perfect circle
Half light, half dark
Half summer, half winter
And every season leaves a mark
I'm getting sick of this ride
Wears me out with every stride
Hollow laughter echoes
My world is colourless
The warmth of yesterday fades
And I slowly become
A shadow of last season -

I'll let you go
Into the waters you flow
In a fleeting moment
I thought I was meant
For roses and fine garments
But I guess I'll look again
And search for that fiery flame
©845doe -
Did I just lock it all away?
Did I just lead myself astray?
Am I numbing myself into nothing?
Is this just another cuffing?
I can't seem to access
The feelings I had in excess
I want to feel them in their true form
So why are they passing in a fading storm?
I need to bring them up and about
And I search for them like scout
Scavenging my mind
For any sort of sign
But all I can find is an anxious self
And I thought I had found wealth
I thought I had found love
But now that I look up above
There's still so much to be done
There's still much to overcome
I guess I'll go over it again
To see if I can see through the stain
©845doe -
Can they all tell?
By the way I fell?
As a tree cut to the ground
As a piece of trash left at the compound
No longer to be found
And silence makes no sound
I'm nowhere near where I used to be
Can they all see?
That I've completely disappeared
Broken into tiny pieces just as I feared
©845doe -
I'll say farewell to you
But you're one of the few
And I'm sorry I had to let you go
But I'm a fleeting doe
Sometimes there, sometimes not
Sometimes far away , sometimes easy to spot
I wish you well
I hope amongst happy memories you dwell
I hope you find what you're looking for
I'll store you in my heart before I go
And let myself quietly out the door

Show Of Lies
Feeling sorry for myself,
Trusting in illusion,
Left me crying out for help,
In all my deep confusion,
I couldn't see a way through,
Or where I'd come from,
As the door shut tight on you,
I wondered what I'd done wrong,
But as the days went by,
That cruel fog began to clear,
I started asking myself why,
I believed in you, my dear,
Until now I realise,
You were smoke and mirrors,
Just a show of lies,
An clever act that you delivered.

Read MoreFall in love, yes do.
When you are
Eighteen, nineteen or ninety
For " n " number of times
Fall in love
Along the corridors
Of a college library,
Or in a strange city
Or around a new alley,
Or in a wornout park
Anywhere and
Everywhere
Fall in love
Easily and quickly.
Sneak into an abandoned
Corner holding hands ,
Sail your lips upon his
Behind a Sycamore tree,
Let him make a voyage
round your being ,
Your hills and your valleys
And you trace the map
of a world he carries under
his robes.
Thereafter when he waves a
Goodbye, you smile
and say goodbye too.
Don't become Sylvia Plath
in love, never make poetries
for him, don't write an elegy
when he departs, okay?
Try not to become Frida Kahlo
In love either, don't paint tears
In your canvas when he starts
unwrapping another woman.
Ah, fall in love I say
Just don't make him
an art you know,
Coz my professor says
Art out lives all,
Art is immortal.
So in that case
he would continue
to live in you while
you die!

And Then I Loved You
And then I loved you,
But it felt like a day's end,
So distant in that evening sun,
Yet, warm and mellow my dear friend,
Between the door swings,
And the promenade,
We touched heaven for a moment,
Then fell hard,
And then I loved you,
But it seemed like a shrinking light,
So dim, and only growing darker,
Yet, with every moment it felt so right,
Beneath the moon's glow,
And the arching clouds,
We held our breath for a moment,
Then fully drowned.

My time was at an end.
I was dying, withering, shriveling up.
I shed my leaves and the last of them had fallen.
All red, brown and dry, they still looked beautiful-
Brimming with passion and pain.
Time ticked backwards.
My memories tyrannised by Nostalgia.
Memories that had its roots deep,
Surfaced and stabbed my heart,
Over and over again.
My reality crumbled and flew away,
Like chirping birds,
Chirping, shrieking birds,
Singing a song, a Fantasia of Freedom,
As if released from a prison of fantasy.
You couldn't fathom or see through, but,
My entire life, flashed before my cold dead eyes,
As I died for you.

Iron Pin Pricks
I saw the dark skies,
The clouds o'er my own city,
Billowing millions out,
In particles of pity,
More a desert now,
Of twisted metal tombs,
Glowing in radiance,
In dissected catacombs,
I held my breath tight,
But felt the needle dance,
Iron pin pricks of regret,
Only time mends ignorance,
But every second is one less,
And we let all ours go,
Now there's nothing left of us,
And nothing left to show.

blueliness

With the passion
of an arctic icebreaker,
he started an expedition
to discover the secrets
of her heart,
but he realised
that the ice was just
a soft glimmering
of melting frost
on evergreen.

Sonnet 7 - Inception
Am I dreaming, or is this reality?
Do we live - just to die?
Or are we not living in actuality?
Is this all a lie?
A matrix - a trapped mentality?
Is our world this bleak?
What do we make of all this calamity?
Are we this fragile - this weak?
Or are humans an evolutionary irregularity?
Are we this hostile - this meek?
Or do we lack empathy?
Is this true?
Do we not have sympathy?
No - we kill Mother Earth, both you and I.

When did we grow so lonely
that we were pushed to abuse our own senses,
to derive pleasure
and call it happiness...

Everything Under The Sun
Look at this language of loss,
The bitter seed in all of us,
Tongue tied to a wooden box,
A place that waits, sure enough.
Look at the times we become,
Frantic, this place to outrun,
But, everything under the sun,
Has a date with the most feared one,
Look at our struggles, all told,
Like an obituary, when we are old,
All of our youth, gladly sold,
Following what we're faithfully told,
Look at the earth mounting up,
As into the ground, the spade cuts,
No matter your run of luck,
One day your lid will be shut.

Who am I?
A little mixed up, but not messed up.
A little unsure, but not undone.
Making my way, my way, I guess.
This narrow path leads nowhere -
But, who knows? One day and everything
May change.
I keep to myself, but I don't keep my feelings inside.
I wear them on my sleeve, I've tried,
I can't hide.
Give me a pen, lend an eye and read
Introversion extending a friendly hand.
Slipping and sliding, but not falling away,
Out of reach, to be snatched back to life,
You might say.
All kinds of troubled, but basically as okay
As all the other misfits
A little unmended, but not broken.
A little lonely, but never unloved.
I view the world with a wry smile,
And it sees my back with a wink,
I think.
