Dweller on the threshold
It's now coming back
Earth moon transit
Losing contact

Heading for the door
Fuzz and timbre
Surrender in my hand
A final act of war

My last words travel far
Closer to the speed of sound
No time to bury
Mixed flags in the ground

The phantom facing me
Is no recovery
There are a thousand of me
And each one is disappointed

Ill always smile
when I think
about you.
Your soft touch,
your sweet smile,
your gentle laughter.
You give me hope;
hope about people
and about society.
Our paths crossed
for only a short while
but you made my
heart flutter,
you caught me
in a way I’ll always
remember.
-JRM
As I walked in that blurry street,
I kept looking at my feet;
No one noticed the lights were out.
Or was it only me on this lonely route?

I kept walking even though,
I had second thoughts,
Even though I had no more words;
Where did my words go?

Everything felt strange!
Even the weather started to change.
Usually I'd see more people,
But on this good day it all felt so unusual.

It felt as though I was being followed,
As if I was being swallowed,
As if my mind was playing tricks on me,
Or perhaps I was going crazy to some degree.

I did not even see it coming,
Everything happened so fast,
I wish there was some kind of warning,
Or a visit from my future-self in the past.

But it all happened too quickly,
And no one could predict it.
Even I did not expect it!
Whether it’d be merciful or grotesquely

...then it hit me...
The victor triumphing recounts
(lest pride should mar his fame),
“It’s not to win or lose that counts;
it’s how you play the game.”

But losers, when they drown their shame
in truth-provoking *****,
will groan, “**** how you play the game:
it’s whether you win or lose.”

Life and death are held together by a thread,
One little pull and they will,
SNAP,
But how can you pull,
If your not strong enough.

No more clouds only sun
No more sorrow only fun
No more clouds only better
             Tomorrows
Dark clouds was casting over
              Me
It felt like the world in chains
No more pain
Only better tomorrows
All the rain washed away
I dried my tears
Hoping for better years
No more clouds
Only better tomorrow’s
No more clouds
It’s  a grey sky with hint of  clouds
Warm humid air along the atmosphere
Upbeat day
Enjoying the heat
