Beautiful ruins

 

Let me sit in my ruins

The reflection that might look unmanaged

I am it though, I am still a breathing story of love 

A tale of being for others

Others may not be ‘others’ in my story

They’re mine, for them I have given without much of a second thought

My tangled hair have crumbled stories of unshed tears

My untidy clothes share the secrets of preparations in the name of love

For the months I was cornered,

For the walls my heart learnt to grow

For the life I lived,

For the joy I spread,

For the times I was the curtain to their secrets

For the times I was the spark of joy, just needed

I am the reason the good exists

I am the proof of love.

Old times

 

‘The old times were better’

You ask me If I agree

Taking me back to times?

I’d say that with the very assured smile

Oh! How much I’d love an old romance

But how far back can we travel in time?

The people that surround us

And the the air that ground us; all alien

The world has spun way too many times

The people long dead, only to know how much has time flied

We have a reality, to us there’s a society 

The garden you see, I see

Yet we just gotta be

I look you in the eye

I see that’s us dancing like candle light

I laugh at things

You remind me of places I’ve been

The curtains down, hide more than they dare to show

I feel I have a say and that’s not just me, its you too who make it that way

We could be two kids finding our ways

We’re friends? Maybe too soon to say.

Backstabber

He comes around with a smile

Cloak of being all fine

We pretend I wasn’t stabbed

By his very own hands

He gloats and shine

Right infront of my eyes

I read him like a book

Even the pages he hasn’t looked

What a shame!

I wonder why you never had friends

Betrayal of the century

The theme, with you blends

Lantern

 

I see very little

I exist in the middle

You come around with your lantern

You light the places that been in darkness

I am beautiful

I am free

That’s how I had me bred

All my thorns you take

All my blossoms you stage

You make me see me again

I love you just the same

I love that smile so rare

That lovely mouth that dares

Those hands I want to hold

Them lips I can afford

I be and you see

That’s why I stay me

I want to wrap you with love

Put a sticker for all, I’m done

I look at that smile

That heart with its own style

That vivid touch of your skin

Them breaths, them heavy spins

Those two wolves

Howling through the night

These lovers

That are just burning bright

You pour yourself within me

Our souls are somewhere whispering

I hear songs that play all night

We don’t dare to blink an eye

You swim through the pool of sweetness

I am drowning deeper with you Mr mysterious

Dead water

 

We were rockets, only going up

Now we are like dead water

Still, on the verge of inhabiting pests

Natural flow, keeping the boats afloat

I row them alone, becoming very stout

Sweet and sour, those words are swine

I could put you in a jail for the crime

I am almost reaching the grave of us

Goodbye note and some cuss

Really loved you

 

God! I really loved you didn’t I?

You felt the same, you were mine

My heart, it found a home in you

You, told me it was safe and true

Though walls have grown thin

Our love has gone ill

My ears echo your sweet voice

My mind burn those memories alive

I never thought this love would die

What a day! I’m always surprised

You had to go, really?

I thought you’d stay, baby

I should cut all your pinkies

You made me promises you broke quickly

I remember the day you came back

You fell down and looked sad

My heart tore apart

You said the words I almost wrapped (away)

You asked me if I still wanted you

I told you how does that matter to you?

I am angry at you, can’t you see?

You’re always ready to leave

We were in the tent, I remember sitting on you

Those sweet lips but nothing of it was true

I saw you become a stranger

I whispered, you’re not that man, no brainer

Crime

 

Gone are you, so is my love

It used to be red, now it looks pretty dead

Sword through my guts

Your hands should have must

You’re blind I see, you’re behind I see

I have cried rivers

I have drowned very many times

The greatest of love left me with the greatest defeat

To keep loving you is committing crimes

I can’t bring out that deceit

Exile

 

I have exiled the me that loved you

You asked for it so now it hurt you

Come home let’s go

There’s no place where there weren’t you

I hid you in my folders

The memories, feelings and even off my shoulders

You know how am I?

You let go, oh so cruel am I

You stopped sitting across the fireplace

Well, it wasn’t real but look it burnt us down

Me, me and then you, you

You never said we or us and just let it cool

It’s nothing else but your change of heart

Or did you just forget the place I kept you at?

Take from me, blossom

That’s what I did, but boy! I didn’t reckon

The love bomb had gone away since ages

You were just a plain man with some music

circles

 

Not new anymore this revolution,

Revelation, not this terrifying

Failures and disappointments, stagnant again?

Movement, here it comes

Did you forget about yourself again?

Honey, how many circles we've completed?

The knife, the hand and the heart

Oh! they all belong to the same body?

Yeah! the same face then fills the wounds.
