Ashes of Love

Dirty purity
Pure insanity
Filled with philosophy
That is who we are
Relation in need of clarification
We try to stop it but it's already in our veins
We're stuck on its ashes and contained within it
But still we call it love 
It's hatred 
Its pain
It's a loss and a gain
A den of emotions 
A place with commotion
No ease only devotion
Devoted to death 
Still with the mistress of life
Can not escape it
But still we try to fight

Persona Non Grata

Full of anxiety
A perplexed child storming in me
Bad in the crowd 
Hardly present heads in a single cloud 
Outcast defines my whole entity 
Filled with obscure philosophy 
Trapped in constant lunacy
Undivided emotion hidden in my subtitled brutality
I devour myself 
I feel uncertain and unsafe
Persona non grata  shall I be 
Will i  cross the shame and find me
Unknown  unloved is me to all
Insanity the only feature I have to show

My Queen

Her beauty ever blossoming 
Heart so cold still she warms me
Beams as the sun and moon
I await to see you soon 
Peculiar  nature 
In love with every second of her torture 
Her beautiful  elegance
Eyes of magnificence 
Lips so pure and intense
Melanin dark and unruly 
Glimmers of hope truly
Her perfect imperfections she sings
But love to me she brings
Do not toss your crown 
Bless me with your loveliness in sound...

Self Search

I was looking for peace
But still i can not find it
Now I'm trapped in pain 
and loneliness controls me
I tried to escape but the walls devoured me
It's a curse that blesses me
A thorn that soothes me and a pain that heals me
No place to hide for still it finds me 
I'm caught in time the one that binds me
But it stops for a moment 
Just to sigh and look at me
Physical embodiment so fit and calm
And my spirit with pain goes numb
Stuck in the middle of the hurting and pain
Will i be saved or am i just a constant player of the game

Animosity In Me

The pain has always been a motivation
An ally needing no clarification
I found peace in it 
Trapped in the confined places of my heart the ones that go deeper than my soul 
That is where i find healing 
Though i take it by force i promise I'm not stealing
If it's kill or be killed this time my sorrow will not let me be the victim
Even so i believe i will not kill them
Death will be too easy 
Must i let it go 
No this time i won't take the fall
I believe torture will suit them all
