Riots and protests
We protest the present day,
with chants from the past.

solitude is an oasis
a calm centre

a place of wonderment
a place of communion

a place of starlight
a place of peace

a place of stability
a place of surrender

a place of unending love
a place of forever.

He closes eyes,so wise ,so bright
Ignoring facts that shine like light
Why learn and grow?That's way too hard
Better to stay forever barred.

He builds his walls with pride and grace,
A shining king of empty space.
Oh,what a gift,he freely admits
He's trapped inside the tragedy of limits.

Soft butterfly wings
Caught upon a spider's web -
Entangled the heart

I don't write when iam happy
Joy makes me dance,not think
It fills my hands with flowers
Not pens.

But sadness?
She sits me down,
Open my chest,
And spills the ink.
Sleep is not my friend
Never around in bad times
A fair weather friend.

CantSeeMe
if I talk
it’s like I'm falling in the answer
everything I say is a quiet question to myself
sweaty hands
messy hair
baggy clothes
harmed lips
and
eyes looking down

yet I do poetry
but nothing helps my clarity
It does help,
but who on earth wants an answer
in rhymes and metaphors?

Tell me.
