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

Lust

bad, body, enjoyment, lust, mind, poem, poems, poetry, sad, self control, sin, vile

you realise you cannot control this at first
it’s just like an intuitive endless thirst
that drives you away from your moral self
it turns you into an animal with no self respect

you know very well that your body needs this
you know very well that your mind needs this
you feel bad but you don’t really want to control it
you just let go and get on with it

and then you feel better and then you are back
you feel it was worth it and you think you ‘re on track
you pretend it never happened but you know it did
you know you enjoyed it but you won’t anymore admit

up until a point when again you can’t control it
and you just want to let go and stop being solid
but you promised yourself last time would be the last
you can’t really escape from it you ‘d better give up fast

the sooner you realise the sooner you will know
that lust is a drug that will take you down low
but you like it, you enjoy it, even for a while
and you forget that actually you think it’s something vile

you are indecisive; you want it and you don’t
you can’t escape from it but you keep saying “I won’t”
and you each and every time fail
the enjoyment of lust will again prevail

it’s not your fault that you are so weak
it’s in your nature, you are not a freak
you recognize its purpose and that you need to fall
you can be an animal but you are human above all

Silence

maria, peace, peacefulness, poem, poetry, silence

affection of a special kind
because she’s a lot more than meets the eye
she’s the type that’s hard to find
she’s the type that makes me want to try

I like her because she is simple
and she has nothing to say to me
she makes me think how to live on
with my life but has nothing to offer me

most people don’t know her at all
have seen her but forgotten about her
waiting for someone else in their hands to fall
and those who remember can’t find her
anymore

some others cannot even see her beauty
they let her pass by without noticing
these are the ones that are stupid
they are the ones least promising

and yet she is not that different from others
I should thank her for being with me when I ‘m alone
if I was to give her a name that would be Maria
she’s not here anymore she ‘s once again gone

Chaos – [11.07.2011]

11.07.2011, anger, chaos, cyprus, memory, poem, poetry, tragedy

explosion, blood, pieces of human parts
you can feel it in the air
when a tragedy breaks into hearts

a simple but stupid yet huge mistake
made by people not admitting it
I ask: how can they be so fake?

innocent people gone to waste
by negligent people who didn’t care
pretending that they do but now it’s too late

Their blood is on your hands but who’s to blame
tell us Mr. President, you are all one and the same
no apology, not a word, no one to say “it’s my fault!”
just blaming each other having at all no shame

how can you look at them right in the eye?
you stupid hypocrites, you cowards
you are not convincing anymore with just a lie

you should take the blame right away
people trusted you, yet, you ‘ve delivered a chaos
and that’s more than enough to say

you innocent people, why did you stay there?
why did you let them take you, why didn’t you run?
and for someone else’s negligent mistake
you were broken apart

Their blood is on your hands but who’s to blame
tell us you chosen people, you are all one and the same
no apology, not a word, no one to say “it’s my fault!”
just blaming each other having at all no shame

Recycling The Myth

30 Tuesday Nov 2010

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

Love or Affection?

affection, her, love, poem, poetry, she

Not long ago was the time
when I looked at her as if she was mine
silly me to think otherwise
that I could forever have her lovely eyes

So far beyond her good looks
is the person inside that my soul hooks
is it love or just affection?
yet the sane reason entails rejection

Fair enough to make me weak
but she’s so powerful sort of speak
with such a cheerful cheeky smile
for just to look does worth my while

Well I think that is enough said
yet a dilemma rises up again in my head
is it maybe just another fling
or just a new love beginning within me?

Mind Trap

Hello
what’s up fellow?
anything new from down there?
sit down and tell us but first you grab a chair

Say
how’s your day?
has it worked out for you?
speak your mind and for once try to be true

Breed
what do you need?
is that enough for you now?
take control and move on the way you know how

Black
you coming back?
why would you even reconsider?
turn black into grey and then white you quitter

Decry
I ask you why?
what’s that you don’t let out?
pretend to care not about me nor you and shout

Free
did you see?
is there strength within you?
calm down sleep and then wake up new

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

Time to Think Small

23 Sunday Aug 2009

poem, poetry, think small

Dreaming about moments that have yet to come
maybe you should at this very moment stop
as thinking so big will lift you up high
but you need to keep in mind it is not an easy ride
there’s work you will need bad to undertake
work that will be boring and you ‘ll probably hate…

There should be no problem in completing the task
all you have to do is not let yourself ask
“is it really worth all the trouble indeed?”
because looking for an answer there ‘s no need
stop thinking that way and convince yourself that
is time to think small until the work is done…

And if something on the way is keeping you back
be sure not to let it take you off your track
remain steady on your course no matter what
so that you can be proud of the final result
because if you are not then you have no peace of mind
and you ‘ll have to try harder than when you last tried
