I can smile


I can smile ,sure I can ,
But I forgot how to smile , memories faded ,
Time whispered ,days gone ,
Promises withered ,gain lost ??.

I can love ,trust me I can ,
But loving requires trust ,that I have not ,
They took my innocent soul,
Taught it to repeat the oath - trust no one !


I can be happy ,trust me I can ,
But I don't anymore ,I become an adult,
Adults don't laugh,they warn with frowned faces ,
I guese that's life ??- that God made !

Have you

Have you called ?
Have you kissed ?
Have you missed ?
Even thought ?


Love was gentle when I knew you not,
Your body warm when your name was foreign to my tongue,
Time flew when we just met ,
Stars brighter when we got to meet .


Flowers wither ,
Promises fails,
Love chains,
Hearts lie - u were never mine !

Devils we call lovers


Maybe devils are people we call lovers —
the ones who are our weakness,
our mistakes,
the ones we lie for,
the ones we would kill for.

I have done the most foolish things for love —
a little feeling
yet it shakes crowns,
collapses empires.

My king —
you reign in my heart.
Please, do not overturn the skies above my head.

Kiss me slowly —
I want this moment to last,
for tomorrow you might not be mine again.

Death is waiting.
Haters are watching.
The world is ready —
ready to snatch you from my arms.

I can't fight this.
I won't win.
I know.
Still, I love you.
I don't know if you love me.

I am vulnerable for you.
I am sacrificing for you.

Kill me gently with your love.
Drown me in the sea of it —
I am ready.

What haven’t I given up for you?
My dignity,
my health,
my insurance,
my safety,
my beautiful sleep,
my lovely kindness,
my truthfulness,
my virginity,
my future.

I withhold no religion,
no god,
no principle,
no law.

I am just a foreigner in your land,
an outcast in your mansion,
a slave in your chambers,
your prostitute.

I am stripped of myself
when your eyes pierce my soul,
staring down my confidence and composure.

I am weak when you hold me.

Nicholas...

heal me.

Gods are online


The gods are online today,
Updating their laws like software patches,
Fixing glitches in heaven while we glitch on earth,
Typing commandments no one reads,
Uploading sermons no one feels.

They scroll through prayers like spam emails,
Ignore the bleeding body in the dirt,
Reward the loudest liars,
And punish the quiet truth.

In their group chats,
They laugh at those like me —
Broken ribs, broken voice, broken trust —
Another ticket closed,
Another sinner "served."

The village bows to their screens,
Worships the edits, fears the updates,
And I,
I am just a bug in their system,
Flagged for deletion because I dared defend myself.

My innocence is offline,
My pain is offline,
Only the image matters here:
The curated guilt,
The viral shame.

The gods are online —
But none of them are listening.

Shh


Sing softly, whispers are loud , they 
Talk silently,words shout,
Advice not ,sound irritates ,
Comfort not ,my ears ache ,
Hush!just be quiet !

Goals unreached



Every step made with anticipation,
Words written with hope ,
Dreams dreamt under the stars ,
Words articulated with care .

The pen and ink all witnesses,
The paper the great bearer of truth,
The walls saw in silence -
As the future got laid on white paper.


Dreaming is good ,
Having hope is sweet,
Plans make the future seen ,
But failure comes unannounced

Hopeless

If wounds heal ,then this isn't ??,
It's my pain ,my chain ,
See - it sliced deep within my soul,
It touched my essence self .


Teach me ,not your perfect knowledge!
Shield me ,not from deadly arrows ,
Love me ,not with soft reassuring words ,
Kill my dreams oh Lord of dreams .

U gave me a purpose,ooh lord of Lords ,
Blessings I saw adorned with your chosen ones,
Riches you hid in heaven !
Comfort you withheld from my presence.

spring

Spring is dear ,brings hope to the sower,
Flowers will cheer,with colours so clear,
Residing is a seer ,waiting for the lily,
Petals and pollen ,dance with the chilly.

foreign

Am just but a foriegner ,in this vile land,
I find no comfort,i see no peace,
This is alien,the food tasteless,
The water salty,the trees dry quick.


Am just but a traveler ,passing through this valley,
No hope nor future,am doomed to death,
I cant uprooot a grass,the mountains i cant shake ,
The custom is weak ,their grace a nuisance.


Am just but a sailer ,in this violent sea,
Currents beat strongly ,wind betrays me,
Pirates rule this world ,justice a treasure not found,
Rest  is scarce ,profit is refutable.
