The Women preys of Mercenaries

As I heard a sad 
story of a woman named  
Elysée, 
I am standing to tell the entire world about it. 
The woman who knows her value. 
As some mercenaries called
M23 entered her house around
a day and foced her to lay on the ground
 while looking at the sky. 
She listened to them and

A Dagger's Blade

Your laughter haunts my lonely nights,  
Memories echo in empty halls,  
Each whisper stabs my aching heart,  
Once we soared, now shadows fall,  
A friendship lost, a love undone,  
In silence, tears become my song.

The Wife's Lament

I

There He Sadly Grows

From a little sapling to a tree,
He grows, he grows to be,
Stuck to its roots still,
Can’t go anywhere, can’t be free,
Stuck in the soil,
His own not allowing him to go,
He just sits there, where he sadly grows

Words and Me

Now I nourish words,
or the words nourish me!
Trust me now it's groundless,
as in each other's vicinity, we feel glee.
And black nights pass by,
and we remain close but free;
not as caged in a jealous lover's company,
but soulful: that whatever we feel we set them free,
to be scribed into the paper 
to immortalize each other's vicinity.

Do You Know the Remedy For Pain

No one can resist pains
    When the heart is full to bursting  
            because of  dialemmas. 
      Tears expose whatever bottling 
                    For some Years.

When you see a man crying in front of his 
Children and wife due to  the overload 
Of catch-22s
Don't take his cries for granted.
Some people are silently
       dying 
             while 
                  walking     
                       on

Love Hurts

It's not the void of your absence,
rather you are too full into my heart.
I'm trying to defy your silent presence,
but it's really hard to stay apart.
My pen is paining, 
so as my heart.
I'm learning each day from you to be unknown,
but my heart is denying being completely apart.
Oh, you heartless, go far or be mine

Lovelorn

I am setting you free,
go wherever you want to go, be whoever's beloved you want to be.
I will not bother you with my love anymore.
I will not run towards you like flies towards the fire, I will not adore.
Let the distance takes the place between us if our love is not destined to be.
Oh, my

Destiny

They are coexisting
like the earth and the far sky,
split by horizon.

Thorns

I reached out
stretched farther than ever before
I'm not sure what I expected
why I thought it might 
end differently this time
Audentis fortuna iuvat
Fortune favors the bold
My fingers pass through
shadowy specters
grasping at ghosts
phantoms of fantasies
mocking me maliciously
leaving me to languish alone
lost in a mist of nothingness
that swirls like smoke and ashes
cremated creations of my own mind
Hope revealed

Letter

O cloud! cross this distance, float away to him and say,
that my days are growing darker without his sunray.
If there is more cloud on his sky,
tell him that, if not the sunshine, but I could be sunflower of thy.

Unnoticed

The world went on without me
No one noticed at all
after I winked out
like a burned out lightbulb
the last flickers of flame
licking what little 
is left of the wick
of a dying candle
before the room goes dark
A wisp of smoke wafting
Words were all I had
to give but
no one wanted them
like the gift of an
ugly sweater 
left lying

Tsunami

Me
The girl I was
The woman I am
The sum of someone
who has never been enough
for anyone
I've walked on eggshells
my entire existence
never having trod
on solid ground
The soil under my shoes
always shaky
Trembling
Tossed around
Torn apart and tattered
Left lonely and shattered
Tidal waves of tragedy
Tsunamis of uncertainty
Bracing against their blows
throwing me off balance
Unable to gain traction
to move forward a fraction
Tripping and

Epitaph

Farewell, au revoir, arrivederci, auf wiedersehen
to the world that never cared to know my name
To the cerulean seas I've never seen
in which I never swam and searched for shells
and perfect round pearls reflecting rainbows
in the summer sunshine
To the mountains I never got to marvel at
and eagerly ascend to their summits
To the city of my dearest
