My Paper Heart

If my heart were made of paper
Would you tear it?
Would you hear it?
Would you fear it?
Or just strain it?

Would you make it cry?
Would you turn it dry?
If I asked you why,
Would you care to try?

Would you decorate my paper heart?
Or just shatter it like you did from the start?
Would you pierce it with a plastic dart?
Would you bake it a chocolate tart?
Or drive it in a cart?
Would you play a part?
Or blow it apart?

Please don’t take my paper heart
It’s all I have left.

Reunite

Soon, me and you will reunite
Both dressed in black but never in white
Because black symbolises a dark, gloom, mystery
For I know not your secrets and you know not my history

It's funny how our lives seem not to infuse together
Your origins are much different compared to mine
Our universes however intertwine
For the matter in which we both are standing lies intact with love as its bond
A hidden love, unpropelled and held into your soul
For greed still remains although we're freed or so we think
Our links embroiled in a civil war
Civil in a sense that we are one
A man and wife, a tribe, race, nation
You see it not I know but sometime we all have to go
For temporarily we live, believe, decieve or recieve a nature
A human nature,  that makes us conceive and act on our cerebation
An incarnation of a death star
Celebration of a nation held by pessimism and hate
Most of the time we find we're too late.

So I say think,  manifest, reinvest and be happy for life is short
And we are a sport of our own temptation.

That Beautiful Marlene

Your hair is like the 
finest silk, your clothes 
are made of linen, your 
eyes are gorgeous as 
the earth and you are 
my beginning, your 
contemplation is 
unique, your beauty's 
far from old, my love 
for you is an antique, a 
story long foretold. 
Your breath is all i can 
afford, your english is 
concord, for you i'd 
cease to live this life 
and prone to flee 
abroad...

Flightless Bird

Your love has made me weary
Your eyes do light the way
Your lips must taste like berries 
Or chocolates far away
Your hair smells like vanilla
Just ask me and I’ll stay
To hold you in my strongest arms
And in the grass we’ll lay.

I love your voice the sweetest sound I’ve heard in all my years
So hold my hand, do hold it tight, we’ll make it through our fears
Or even when you still have doubt you’ll see my drying tears

So please give me a chance to redeem my dying love
For I have nothing left, but cheers and a flightless dove.

My Point of View

I wish you could see 
you from my eyes, my 
point of view, my soul 
dost subdue to the pain 
disguised as hate for 
the skies, my intellect 
lies, as thunder is heard 
and the eagle cries, for 
not all men are bred to 
puncture thy heart, i 
promise to mend and 
never choose part, or 
partake in reigning a 
brokenable heart, but 
rather look after it from 
the very start, so hate 
me not for words i may 
not heave, if the silver 
cord breaks i may have 
to leave, forever the 
tears forsaken to 
grieve, if you loved me 
back you'd know that 
i'll breathe.

Dying Time

Tick tock, tick tock, i'm 
running out of time, 
my burning heart has 
turned to white and 
nothing else, but lime. 
Could this be it? Could 
this be the very end, 
you've turned me 
down a hundred 
times and i've become 
your friend. While i 
lay here upon my bed 
i think of eyes that 
gleam and when i 
tear for i have been 
misled by lights and 
beams, your heart is 
pure like wool as 
white that's sin is 
washed away, i'll let 
you go , for you said 
so as night has turned 
to day.

Lovers Kiss In Rain

The eagle head has spoken
Even the lightning bolt is broken
My memory starts to fade
 Like I have not been called or chosen
The vortex has enlarged
 And ate the cortex of the raged

A missing piece
 My tears have dried as lovers kiss in rain

Sonnets Fair

Your reverbarating 
heartbeat silhouettes 
the love that we're in, 
your proverbial eyes 
hide the fate that 
terribly awaits, all my 
life i've wondered 
where you've been, the 
sudden sound of wings 
as birds migrate. I love 
your smile, your accent 
too, i'd be there right 
now, if you asked me 
to. Your softest touch, 
your, rosé voice. You're 
glamorous face and the 
things you do. You 
heave to kiss with lips 
so rare, your laughter a 
sound of sonnets fair, 
your hair falls down 
your shoulder bone, 
one gaze from you and 
i'd turn to stone.
