I have a dream,
It's quite unreal
I want to fly
Is that impossible?
Well we can try to
See if it works ,
I opened my umbrella ,
Oh ...I'm flying wohooo
There is no perfect way, to live this life, every day,
Changes will come, and they will pass,
Nothing in this life, will forever last,
Every one’s  trail, curves, many ways,
Somethings , we are to experience, were planned before,
Our first day.
No one’s life is perfect, throughout every year,
For our soul to learn, and grow, we carry it through,
A mixture, from days of smiles, to cloudy moments,
Where we shed our tears.
Accepting  reality,  knowledge, our parts in this life, with age,
Will change, even though, your on the same stage.
We are each to mingle with, all types of people, traveling on our way,
If your lucky to be free, beware of habits, where you limit the growth,
Of your soul exploring, to only certain hours, of night or day.
The clock on the wall, many follow every day, was created by a human,
Some people enjoy, another person, telling them what to do every minute,
During this life’s stay.
The first clock was a pendulum clock, created by, Christiaan Huygenes,  in 1656,
Most humans would not survive, trying to live, as they did, in those lost days…

A siren’s songs
A woman’s fears
Drown the world in peace and tears

A siren’s cries
A woman’s ashes
Drown the sea with sounds of crashes
I sit in her room
Her favorite incense burning
Reading her poems for a sign

I sit in her room
My mothers cries ringing
We never got to say good bye

She went somewhere
A place without me
The emptiness too hard to bare
The music disappeared

We’ll be in denial for a little while
Her room untouched
The feeling rises bile
All of it being too much

I miss her
Does she miss me too?

My sister…
I love you
From the perspective of a little sibling
''I might take the shoes off,
Still, I remember all our walks.
I might have a new pen,
Yet I remember every little plan.

I might be tough,
Still, every time I look up to the sky, I see your laugh.

I lied to people about my favourite flower,
Because I always recall the day you gave me a wildflower.

The sun is shining while I'm standing on the ice

Why isn't it melting?
**** it, I always hated playing dice.

Repeating over and over, the same cycle every day
Just makes it too hard to stay.

I'm just going to lay...
But every time I see the moon, it makes me want to see you soon.

All I want to do is catch a train
And hope for the evening to rain.

Do you understand me?
I mean, how can I be understood
When I explain with running words hidden under a hood?

How will you get me,
When all my thoughts are running barefoot through the woods?

Where is my blanket? Where is my pillow?
Are my jeans too tight?

Maybe I need to find the light,
Because I don't want to fight anymore
So I’ll just open my door.

I can’t find my blanket or my pillow.
There’s no tree to offer me some shade.

Maybe... I'm the willow.''
In the abscence of shade, something quietly unfolds.
I am a broken oracle for myself.
My prophecies are all dreams in which I become lost.
My inner compass fails me as I unnaturally fall into lines too rigid to be true,
before dissipating into a fog that leaves me dazed.
When I arise I find my moments are repeating as though any future day is left perpetually pending.
All I now know is that my tomorrow is leaving itself unknown,
anonymous under a cloak of frailty.
There are whispering streams
that no eye has seen,
where water doesn’t flow,
but dances.

Rainbows rise in misted light,
as waves make love
with rounded pebbles,
bathed in the golden spotlight
of morning’s first rays.

If even here
perfection is found,
so too are My plans
for you.
This is well my book in job
Cool again its very goblins
Is is very so what din
I so gooding so what be

Look this for to him again
That fo you a looked screen
Sin absent low very sent
That for you a needed sell

Will i do a you can sleep
That way do a you a need

Is is o is you and you
Very very fo to you
Kiss is well so eating sell
Mell you go it very tell
Like so will i do and you
This burden is a boulder
I'm just tripping over
The things in my head
They don't align with anything
My debts and my mistakes
I push if I can't break
Free of these chains,
Some are no longer suffering
But I'm still on this train
That keeps going and going
Over and over
'Til my days are over
I stand on the line
And I can't get across it
I'm waving goodbye
To the few who had made it
My thoughts are too tied
Too tightly to think
And I wonder if I
Will finally break
Under the pressure
And I
Just started to cry
The tears can't hold back
For long anymore
The nonsense, the gibberish,
The thoughts are just flowing
Though the party has ended
But everyone's crowding
There's more at the door
But my world is slowly drowning
And when I finally find
A trickle of hope
It never reaches
My blood is shattering
I feel so alone
My teeth are chattering
From being out in the cold
You can't comprehend
The feelings I'm feeling
'Cause when dust turns to gold
I'll be sitting here thinking
And I don't think that I
Will ever stop rambling
On and on about the things
That bother me most
What the hell am I writing?
My hope is long gone
Or at least it's hiding
All the burdens and thoughts
Will smother me eventually
To the point where I'll never breathe
I'm so broken, someone fix me
So I can be happy.
Come to me in my sleep
Where tears are dry as we weep
Talk is silent in the night
Whispered thoughts form twilight
I’m longing for you
Please come to me
With or without the sun
We will have synergy
