Pain

You're a pleasant feeling caused by love.
You're not a mental suffering neither annoying.
You'rea process of inspiration and influencing once emotion.
You sentient, imposing and attractive.

Those who fear you see you as death penalty.
Neither do death shall not be praised.
You're a pleasant ;it is said you sadistic,
Yet you're plucky, children blubber in your presents
Yet they are being children.

Throb you need to be accepted, as death has been.
Pang you need to be saluted, you've made people brave
Intelligentso forth. Pain I salute you.
Yet you still pain, you bring tears
So is why you need to be praised, you bring tears from what is cherished.

I Fear For My Self

I am in love,friend.
I ran deeply to your heart.
No impediments can shake me,
though your tears may do.
I am in love,friend. 

I fear for my self, though i don't need too.
I fear for my self,my emotions let me.
Friend you noble,valuable to me.
I fear for my self.

I gave you all, you giving me less.
you make me feel as if you don't care though you do.
I am in love, you in a fling. 
My heart is turned into stones. 
I fear for my self.

Who Am I

I am dependent but i need to be independent.
I wonder will I be what i need to be? 
I hear nothing though the weed is whispering
I see birds struggling to fly, the weed is to strong 
I want harmony,love and inspiration.

I am dependent but i need to be independent
I pretend not top care
I feel the earth in the palm of my hand
I touch the souls of those who care and don't 
I cry because i feel for you and me. 

I am dependent but i need to be independent 
I understand i am who i am 
I say i am unique 
I dream nothing, i wish for something 
I try to dream though its not easy 
I hope i may be able to dream 
I am dependent but i need to be independent.

I Am In Love With a Women That Is Already In Love

I am in love with a women that is already in love.
Falling for you was noble,though you're noble.
I fought my feelings, they pope like chicken from an egg shell.
Yet the feelings were not love, it was just feelings.

I am in love with a women that is already in love.
Falling in love with you was a combination of fear and anxiety.
feeling of joy, yet not been surfaced. Though you were in love,
I felt in love with your heart."Storms and earthquakes couldn't 
shake my love.

They said i am a fool, fooled by love yet i rejoiced.
I am in love with the one i love.you took my love as a joke, 
yet you begin to love me. we're in love.
Yet you still in love with another men, love.

Love

You can't be seen yet some have seen you, 
You are an enormous, influential feeling.
You fear nothing yet you fear hurt. it is said with you world can be conquered, you are a precious gift
You are patient and pure,
You bring butterflies yet you're inspiration. 
Yet you are what you are.

Love you've been kind and positively influential,
Oh no you haven't you've took lives,
You've brought hurt, you've made us mentally disabled yet it is said you bring butterflies.
You are a time waster, you are nothing but a disease
Even so, you are red; a symbol of danger,
You've done the worse than death.

Love you are joy of sadness, infinite pain trauma,
Love you are nociceptive, inflammatory, a neuropathic and allopathic pain.
They say you beautiful, amazing,
You're praised yet some are lifeless because of you.
Love you are nothing but a disease that brings pain.

Pale Love

Love, my love has grown pale.
Lovelorn is alarming me, I fear loveless
Even though I have accepted lovesick.
Love I applaude you, you've thought me well.

Dear Friendship

Hope has disappeared, not because I wanted it to, but
because I produced plenty of means, as you are aware.  
I'd prefer to forget about you in my thoughts, but my 
heart won't allow it. Nonetheless, I have a proclivity to doso as well.

Although hope has faded, I treasure friendshipsince it has shaped me into the person Iam now, whom you are unfamiliar with.I value you; I may not know who you are 
now, and this is the source of our friendship's loss of 
hope. 

True friends comprehend that time will tell,mirrors will
reveal and the sun will set. Be cheerful, be the greatest, and don't be awed because you've been without hope for a long time. It'll be a pleasure to see you.

Meeting Death

A feeling I felt, yet never been experienced.
A feeling I never thought I would feel.
Yet it has been felt, fantasy world.
I've heard about you, incries and moans.
In heart broken stores and hopeless sighs.
I've smelt your scent, in hospital corridors and poverty stricken street.

Meeting death, dark and unbearable.
Convinced death is opposite of white with feathers taking all pain away.
Sorrow and pain cold,so pure, bright and peaceful.
I loath your works, yet sometimes I longed for your embrace.
I would love to hate you, yet I think at times you are a hand of mercy.

Meeting death, companion of fear.
Acquaintance to sickness.
The guest that comes uninvited.
Your footprints leave a sting that never ends.
To see your end will be the joy of all.

I Lost You

Could I, should I, and may I?
You are my poetry. I am in love with his present, that my future longs for. 
My poetry is you, pale love.

Your giddy eyes mesmerize me, your plump lips catch my attention, and your charm and sweetness entice me to approach you, but your disposition begs me to stay with you. Your hugs and smiles make me happy. My heart feels like a nuclear bomb might detonate when I touch you.

Could I, should I, or may I?
Even though it is nighttime, light displays remain motionless against the rain. 
However, as we play around, Your lips begin to flow within mine, and mine begin to flow within yours.
But the rain continues to fall

However, you've forced me to see love as painful even though it's also fascinating. You've made me crush my love like an elephant tramples an ant, you've normalized pain while making love seem strange to me. Even though it shocks me when I see it, and you've forced me to question my identity even whilst forcing me to discover it.

What is intended for you is the will to act.
What is wished for you is a passion for care.
What I wanted for you was to understand my love.

Night Time

The darkness had me like a harness.
Free space of mind, in darkness with it's massive sky.
Sitting on top of a roof, stars alight like nothing you've ever imagined.
Day is done, night has come, we fought these battles and we have won.

It's not as dark as it used to be, it's a bit navy now. 
It's not as quiet as it used to be, the trees speak now.
Movement of trees become a saxophone.
Clouds not white but dark, yet stars light through them.

We never embrace the light, we are done with the fight.
We know the noise, it's time for a silent night.
The serenity that serenades the blue.
It's not as grim for me as it would be for you.
Foot steps of night folks become a drum to my ears. 
The giggles of night folks who fall into fantasy night become a song to my ears.
