Vote For Me

VOTE FOR ME

Being a critic 
Doesn’t mean I am no patriot
I am not the citizen of the system
And I am very persistent
Like an annoying parrot

In a country like this
A plane with no pilot
Balancing on an uneven pivot
With a load of leaders playing harlot

Yes, I am a critic
Because corruption is now the system
The people are screaming
In secret they are speaking

Oppressing is not silencing
Citizens hear what I am saying
All I see is killing
And not leading

Excuse my words 
For there is no ceasing
To the last truth I will be squeezing

Vote for me! did they say
With lots of gifts and charade 
But now they have left us in disarray
They now chase us away

I take a deep breath and exhale

	

       For my chest burns hot 
For justice I crave 
So strongly to resist a grave

We can steal hearts

if I hold your hand and you hold back
if i kiss your lips and you don't mind 
if I take your time to pour out my heart 
if I  say I love you will tou then be mine ?

if I sing the songs the lovers sing
if I steal a hug one to many times
if I look at you in the eyes and make you shy
if I say I love you will you then be mine ?

what if I walk away and not look back
is the regret worth than the fight for love?
will you cry and call me back?
will I come and take your hand?
and have a happy ending Cinderella had?

if you walk away I'll follow behind
if I have to I will stay in line 
I'll wait till it is my time
we can't steal time but hearts we can

A distant love

funny feeling in the room
everytime I put her in zoom
far away but a heart beat we share
just the two of us as we endlessly stare

laughs and cries to remember 
from the first January to the last December
with a heart so red in love like burning embers

time will come and the lines shall disappear 
where arms will have their reach
and lips will have their twins 
locked, as our eyes slowly close

The love for two

is it possible for one to fall for two
feels true but leaving behind no clue
who is to break and who is to take
who is true and who is fake

what loves between the heart and mind
have I gone so far just to rewind 
was it deception 
yet even lies  have exceptions

promises were made 
dreams were dreamt 
and now away they fade 
with fire into ashes
