Us
She was a student
Nothing more basic
Surely not an A student
But society never said she was a student
I never seen any much difference
Between her and them,
Society pushed her aside,
Like her being a student changed something
He, well was he a student?
No, he was a business man
Society tagged him as a drug dealer
They said he killed people
By the corner, next to the drug store
He used to trade books for money
Society said he was a bad example
A bad example for the society
She never aced her Maths test,
But was better at counting than all of us
She never wore the most expensive
But her fashion taste was incredible
She dreamt of becoming an artist
But society said she couldn't
She couldn't be anything more than a student
He was a claustrophobic one
Scared of those closed areas
Yet society said he loved living
There in the dark
He loved hearing his victim scream
Screaming his name as he takes
Life away from them
She was lonely,
He was special,
She walked and cried in the night,
He had no customers to trade with
She passed by him,
He sees a student,
She was not scared,
He was not sure,
She crossed the street,
He caught her hand,
Hey are you a student?
I would love to exchange some books
I will give you money,
I need to acquire knowledge
To become a business man
She did not say a word
His eyes into her eyes
She felt the passion in his words
Society said he was a drug dealer
She believed he was a businessman
Society said she was not a student
He believed she was a student
The years passed by
They believed in each other
So strong, so hard
That no matter the identities
Society will give them
No matter the labels,
Society would give them
They will remain themselves
They found themselves once
They found each other and
They live to stay true to themselves
After all.
Convolutions of Resolutions
I resolve to dig deeper
to see sun’s dance,
watch shadows frolic
and murmur my name,
grasp bare threads
and weave them together,
quench thirst with
crystal streams
of thought,
rise above binding arms -
throw unkept resolutions
into the blackness
of cheerless minds,
unearth my place
in my own existence,
understand truth of colors
and paint new dimensions,
become the breeze
kneeling in images
of reflection,
encompass beams
of healing light,
run swiftly
along path
of spirituality,
polish my worth
like diamond dust.
I will glide blithely
in translucent words
of no reality -
may they flow
forever, in life
of gossamer dreams.
You
I see you in my dreams
Your delicate skin touching mine
Your delicate body sleeping next to me
I see you in my dreams
Your smile lifting my mood up
Your laughter healing my wounds
I see you in my dreams
Crying and screaming my name
The joy, the passion, the happiness
The care, the love, the freedom
I see you in my dreams running up to me
I see me rolling next to you
Cuddling with you, soul and body
And yet I still get a vision of you
Stabbing me like a piece of shit
Disrespecting me in the name of love
I see your eyes emotionless
I see you crying in my arms for
Someone else than me, someone I can't be
I see you leaving,
Or Maybe I see you coming back
My visions blur,
I can't make a difference
I can't figure it out
Is this a nightmare or a dream
Why do I feel pain and love
I feel sad but I'm happy
My emotions are corrupted
Do you love me or hate me
Are you going or coming
Wait are you leaving?
So soon, leaving me?
You just came, oh well maybe I think so
I am uncertain of anything
Do I suffer from amnesia
I thought we were meant to be
Oh wait this wasn't reality
But you skin felt so real
No wait, talk to me
Are you a curse or a blessing?
A curse for the pain you cause
And a blessing for the happiness
It's been days and I see you nomore
I see myself, facing myself
I see myself and emptiness
The emptiness you used to fill
I see myself with a vague memory of you.
