Rain-Rain-Rain

Like a kid am I, every time you pass by
On the window, in the roof
You leave trace, you give proof
Now you’ll race, then you’ll poof

Like a widow, by the window
Watching you fall, counting you all
You bring memories, even forgotten ceremonies
Sometimes you bring calamities, often times serenities

I could be running through you
Letting you drip, loneliness you strip
Or I could wait for you to depart
While soaked in thoughts that drench the heart

You’re such a thing to enjoy
I’m sorry for those you annoy
For you’re a fragment of the sky
And for me your beauty is within the eye

El-Evator

When sleep's heaven and waking up 's hell
Black or white — hard to tell
Maybe we need a spell to dispel,
all these feelings of unwell
So why do we need to dwell?
Come, pick up your apparel
Let's climb Eiffel —
Tower, power — compel!
We have a lot to sell,
Don't lock yourself in this cell
Come out of your shell,
Make dreams they never foretell!

A Day-Dream

Caressing your face,
on a hammock
Letting the calm calamity 
wreck havoc
Your eyes, your lips, your all
makes my heart run amok

Woolfardisworthy

Everytime you’re down
Let me wipe off that frown
Everytime your anxieties bug
Come! I’ll give you a hug

And when the world feels colder
Feel free to lean on my shoulder
For I am your friend
Someone you can depend

Don’t stare at afar
Lie down, gaze at the stars!
Be one with the sky!
Oddities, let’s defy!

I may not have wings
But I wanna take you high
Look at what your laughter brings,
I hope your spirits fly!

Let’s compile your smiles
and roll in the aisle
Don’t worry I have your spine,
I assure you, everything will be fine.

Untitled Number5

Too late,
There's already too much hate
Can't let this pass
This will be the last

I love you – before 
I don't know you anymore
Nothing, I expect from you
You did this more than two

Good Mourning

Is this fate how we ended?
I hate how it can't be mended
Your madness, my sadness
We both ignite, but both lost the fight

My immaturities, just triggered your anxieties
I became toxic, we became tragic
Is there a cure? Maybe magic
But my love's pure. Baby it's not a trick

Gibberish

A pointless dot,
clumping in the surge
of edges and curves

A clumping dot,
in the pointless surge 
of edges and curves

A surging dot,
in the pointless clump
of edges and curves

Untitled No 10

Doubts during bouts,
Asking gods' whereabouts
Asking: is this the route to South?
Should I set forth, to get North?
Is there a feast in the East?
Will I be pest in the West?

The scout pouts in doubts
of passing without a compass

Silhouettes and Palm Trees

Black and white
Images were smite
Blank but bright
When struck by light

Vast seas,
Fast cease,
The cast sees,
But won't seize

Silhouettes,
Of marionettes,
Ties attached,
Lies dettached

Palm trees,
Solemn breeze
Heavily breathes,
Lightly leaves...
