The Boy of Art

Ken, they all say painters paint best 
When they're torn apart,
Music sounds best
When it hurts your heart,
Love’s ONLY real
When it crushes your soul, made into broken shards

So, is this why you left 
With a broken heart to make art?
But, I'm not cutout for this, am I? 
Someone told me I am, ‘twas my heart,

I lost you even when 
You said I was your plan
When I was just your fan

You – The boy of art,
Taught me it all,
Taught me to write,
Rose me when I fall,
Pushed me to speak,
Pulled me, my walls
To Bring my wretched heart 
The sky with shooting down waterfalls

But now I don't know
Where are you?
If may I meet you at all?
How are you?
If may I see you once and for all?
Gone, are you?
If may I feel you, your soul lashing gold?
The boy of art, where are you?

Just Men

And though I’ve surmised my eyes with
Men in different lighting
I see a fair facade of girls and you trying to glide him
It’s just my absurd JEALOUS DRUNK TONGUE mocking
Maybe, or maybe falling is haunting,
Maybe there’s some magnetic force around him
That shall I feel too, but for I forbid it

For the lie of my life, 
I don’t feel envy
For the lust of my life, 
He shall want me
Shall for the love of my life,
Shall permit is to let him in my runes,
But if shall there be, for the loss of my life,
Shall turn him in my next broken muse

Here, I lay
With his arresting smile near me,
I can always 
See why you would want him
For that, I too, want him too

His eyelashes sparkling like booze 
That burns me DRUNK ON LOVE like a fool
His painted cheeks as flush, so pink
Oil paints my face in sweat, unhinged
His smile, his height, his hair, his hands
Are too enticing too excite me, so unfair
His simple brown eyes defeating ocean blue
Cascades my plan of “not falling for you”

Touché, I am LOST and so are YOU.

The Beauty

You can think,
You have time to think,
But you wouldn’t blink
When there’s a beautiful thing

Because
Beauty will run
Back as soon as it comes,
For you to be safe, uncursed
It will fade in the darkest of gulfs

Because
Darkness shines
More than the bright skies,
It engulfs everything that tries
To outshines its seas of hidden lies

Just like
There shall be I 
Be everyone’s but no one’s mine,
So, I’d be cut in half and dispersed alive
In their hands but no one would dare, get me back to life

And
You can think,
You can help me rinse,
But you couldn’t help him
When you faded like a beautiful thing.

Fragile

The day i lost the most fragile string on my guitar
I knew i was gonna lose, in my heart
But i kept moving forward thinking i won't cope
Because i didn't wanna lose in fear just for looking through the telescope

And there i see, the melancholy waves
Like beauty that drowns talents with it was he, 
Sharp as a knife, unique as a snowflake, 
Pure as a true love's kiss was he
Was he my plea or my plague?
Fallen was he to save me on his knees
Just nineteen tulips on his reincarnated wake
Just seventeen lilies on this pedestal of waking trees

There was he lingering through air like the essence of lavender
Came to this wanderer wandering in, with words of silence causing hurt
Piercing through the pages is the wanderer wondering wonder
And affection was the wave that came to surrender
The art of alchemy to stitch back the fragile torn pieces of a jocker

Drop of Love

Not a drop of liquor to interfere,
Drunk on love's celestial bliss,
I've tried to resist
This intoxication too bitter but so sweet,
But no matter I am how drunk
Sobriety come with the first morning light,
Drunk on love,
My heart comes undone every night,

Yet a drop of love that shall I sip,
Love drunk’s the cosmos with my quill,
I've tried to assist
This addiction so nude but too clean
And no matter I bathe in how many drops, sir,
It’s never enough to ache for every bit of it,
Love drunk,
My body runs wet with sweat this amidst.

Dearth

Accustomed to be the sunshine of the sun,
Attuned to catch up with all the fun,
Worn myself, all to gain love from trust,
While may this be true, it all is just nothing,
A piece of paper driven through handwriting
Is just a paper ash when let fire light it

Oh, I’m past all the tests,
I’m to perform and shine,
This may be true if
I wasn’t just a design,

Oh, never have I ever really aced,
Once by chance, never by fate
Little too young to understand

Truth’s alive that I slept through my life’s past,
In nights, there were wolves and haunting fears I’d have
With a ghostly sound, demons around, scary crowd
And silence pacing, trading, phasing in and out
As if I was meant for the longing out of dearth for a crown

Oh, I’m told, only 
I shall do things perfectly,
Oh, not for me, only
For the ones I love fondly

Truth’s spirit lies in doubts over insecurity,
Anxious actions going tick, tick, tick…
With judging reactions burning my wick, wick, wick…
Trying was I to feel good for my life, life, life…
For my voice, body, soul, euphonic mind
Filled in with unforeseen rhymes, rhymes, rhymes.

Sweet And Melony

Sweet and Melony,
Accomplice of my felony,
I'm nothing so you're my everything
Presenting me options to fill fully me

Out in the sky 
With where I shine,
You shine 
Just enough to guide,
My way inside 
And out of a mine
That I mined 
Finding chaos & plight

You're fair in weather, I’m sky blue,
Your darkness, I know, I have too,
Your kindness that implores, I try too

It isn't “indifference”,
It isn't “hate”,
It is “love”,
Platonic and trust,
It isn’t “intimate”,
It isn’t “amateur”,
It is “warmth”,
Caring and fond

You are no lover,
I am no lover,
We are friends,
Same but different.
