In Pain

How does it feel to be in pain
and not being able to do something about it
when nothing happens when you just shout it
in the mind comes the thought everything’s in vain

how does it feel when it’s your own fault
that you are now in pain and you are hurt
cannot do something simple like cleaning the dirt
off the corners of this web in which you are caught

Clearing your mind this time won’t help
you can’t control this but you regret
the time you thought you could win this bet
this is something you cannot reset

Wait! That’s all you have to do now
for things to get better and pain to fade away
it doesn’t make much sense but it’s the only way
even if it doesn’t feel like it is now

Vanity

in vain, life, life goals, vanity

you are after a better life happier and free
no time to do anything else but make that life be
and while you are at it you turn into a control freak
everything is a checklist whose items you have to tick

but one day you realise that all that makes you sad
are the petty things you naively wish you had
but you ‘ve set your goals having those in mind
and now that you see clearly you want them left behind

because whether you ‘ve reached your goals or not
there come moments when it doesn’t matter anymore
in fact we are not much different than small ants
wandering around until one day someone steps on us

it’s not important to own but to have done things in the end
not for glory not for money but to be at peace with your self
but then again what is important is hard to be defined
and you are moving on with what you believe and feel is right

Forced to Change

death, fate, life

the second death of me is about to have me changed
there is no strength in me left and I cannot be saved
and even though I thought I had already been dead
it seems I could not imagine that I could have a second end

what do you say to a mother that has just lost her son
there’s no way you can make her feel better make her stop
crying, weeping, being in pain which nothing can make go away
nothing that the mind can imagine of; nothing to say

Silence! Yes, silence! Silence louder than words
silence that makes your spine chill but still no words
first an uncle has gone and then a best friend has gone
and every time I die with them but I am not gone

I am right here, forced to change…

Innocent Flow of Thoughts

abstract, bliss, happiness, innocent flow of thoughts, life, marks, memories, sad, thoughts, time

Listening to the music from the past
I realize years have left their marks
not just on my body

Marks left inside my soul so deep
that thinking of them almost makes me weep
cannot go on

Cannot let memories surface back
they will sure make happy but also feel bad
so truely sad

Sad; because memories that hurt are more
than those that roll you laughing on the floor
or just make you smile

Smile; I think I am in love with this word
it brings to mind familiar faces from around my world
in times of bliss

Bliss; It is in fact everyone’s ultimate goal
good or bad, rich or poor, with or without soul
that few of them reach

A fact that doesn’t stop anyone from trying
a goal for which almost everyone is fighting
not all for themselves

Some for themselves, some for themselves and children
others for everyone else and others for neither
and life goes on

Divided Self (Life Riddle)

22 Sunday May 2011

bliss, dilemmas, divided self, finding bliss, life, life riddle

somewhere between giving up and there’s still hope
standing in the middle of a far stretched rope
trying to convince myself not to give up and cope
with all the things that life puts me through
to make me stronger and alter my point of view

a point of view forged by the things I’ve seen
collected in my mind from places I ‘ve been
only to realise I ‘m becoming a machine
no feelings no intuition only execution
of things need to be done – my retribution

I feel like I have to escape from this
I feel like I am destroying me but my logic insists
to fight until I ‘m done and then there will be bliss
but the end seems to be so very far away
and my body feels weathered as if it’s really wearing away

therefore I ‘m here stuck somewhere in the middle
half of me wants to leap forward the other not even a little
and I remain idle trying hard to solve this life riddle
I guess a clear headed thought is that taking the leap forward is the way to go
I just have to forget about time and to some things say no

…until I ‘m done!

Recycling The Myth

impossible, life, myth, people, poem, poetry

back from the island of no return
much like everything else a myth itself
that people refer to with some sort of fear
without ever wondering beyond what they hear

hearsay all that you believe
something for the unwilling really to relieve
themselves for not even trying moving on
for never questioning what is going on

it’s tough to prove to someone
what they believe and think is wrong
it’s tough when they don’t realize
that you are trying to help them move on

so they ‘ll probably question you instead
and you ‘ll have to prove it right in front of them
and even then you ‘ll hear them say you are cheating
or you ‘ll become a wonder depending on their thinking

but you are back from the island of no return
and you are happy for yourself not for them
nothing really has changed for them anyway
they just have a new myth for each other to say

System (Machine) Life

life, poem, poetry, system

start
it’s simple as that
stop
I think not
until
just before you drop
dead
tired as hell
asking yourself when
all this will come to an end

begin
insert parameters in
‘love’
‘have fun’
run
public function laugh
true
case the sky is now blue
add ‘joy’ to the queue
hope this will not end soon

loop
boring thing to do
repeat
no need
to feed
your everyday routine
while
conditions still apply
if there’s any error try
to catch it to find out why

end
no time more to spend
result
exit status one
memory dump
program can no longer run
wait
analyze life state
memory not sustained
the system has failed
