WHERE WAS GOD?

I heard shouts from churches and cemeteries

It is just a mystery line

For it storms hard for some

And shines bright on some

They called it fate and destiny

But I thought twice to call it a life of inequity

The God they claim to have the power infinity

Has blinded me from feeling its presence for the injustice

I asked the inner sound “Where was God?”

If they call him the Almighty

Then where was he when they smashed babies on walls

When they massacred men that praised him along the halls

The violence and the wars

The hunger and diseases

Where had the power fled to when the suffering erupted on the innocents?

I closed my eyes to the whole world view

Everything happens for a reason

But only people make trouble

And the next morning they set the reasons why

Yes, I said it

The power is in the hands of the people

The devil and the God is us.

TWO SHOTS OF TEQUILA

I needed two shots of Tequila

one for my soreness

another for my loneliness

so i could lay in the sofa 

one leg hanged on the table

and my brain soaring in the clouds.

I felt like a naked body

my ribs quivering of cold

my feet numb,

like the snow is stuck between my toes

For i needed warmth

not from a bonfire

just a soft forehead kiss to put me to sleep.

Nobody was there

the walls extended from my side

and everything became blurry

only a half full bottle was there for the best

i praised the smell of it

so intense and chocking

as i poured dizzily in the glass.

Then i gave a toast to the emptiness 

and kissed the pain in my chest

as i closed my eyes to the burns in my throat

My grief melted at the first shot

and i felt a grip on my shoulder at the last

I heard a voice as i was drowning,

whispering "you are not alone"

 

AN OLD LOVE SONG

He sounds like an old love song
The kind that calms the sea shores
Resting my soul like a young girl on a swing
His voice rhyming words that won't let mine spell the truth.

He feels like the wind

The kind that blows your hair

But you can't catch it in your hands

It just pushes your heart away.

He's stuck on the land of my dreams
But i can't touch his face
There's a high wall between his fingers and mine
My body feels transparent in his eyes
He only sees girls with opaque beauties.

I feel like the air
cause i' m always here,
but he never sees me
he knows my presence,
but i' m a book of silence.

THE MOMENT MY HEART DIES

I wanted to fold them in words

The pain that kills that my heart holds

The tears that showers down all the faiths

The body that sleeps in a bed of despair

The other laughs become far echoes

All the long night dances displays in blurred memories

The dreamy smile changes in a smile of pretense

As I feel all the love that melts

Every chance taken is a pull back behind the blocks

Every light chased fades in the dark and cracks

There’s no road that saves to lead ahead

I won’t complain if tonight spells my end

On a sunny day it will suddenly rain on me

The rainbow will disappear behind the black clouds above me

Know that the moment I close my eyes

Is the moment my heart dies.

GOOD GIRLS

They don't charge for their loyalty
Serving their hearts like maids of royalty
Their arms replete of love and charity
Till when they are stabbed for their emotional sanity.

Your eyes are so vast that they stare too long
Too long loving what they are taught to hate
then cursing that feeling calling their lives misery fate
Crying their lungs out to what was never their fault.

Your gates are wide open
And your bodies are so inviting and heart so well to fit in
Letting them step in with glory
Watching your walls fall down without feeling sorry.

Your bright smile enlightened by the morning light
Washed down by your tears fading in the night
Your soul enveloped in the darkness and lost
Bad girls singing outside " All the good girls are home with a broken heart."

THE OCEAN BETWEEN US

In these rainy days that hide the sun behind the clouds,

I count the drops that fall to fill the oceans,

Shaking the urge to sail the seas that drown us apart,

To warm coldness that embeds in the veins of my heart.

In those eyes you stare in I want you to see the color of my iris

Remember the taste of my lips whenever you kiss

On all those bodies you hold feel my skin on them

Your imprints make me fall like leaves of autumn

You stole my heart and soared away like a thief

I sit here watching the rain melting down the strings of our names,

And the mountains blocking the sound of your voice

In every thread of cloth I search for your scent,

Waiting for the day when the oceans between us will dry up.

INEXISTENT

I see you in my dreams alive 

In my thoughts where you only live

In the world of you and I that I created

Where I treasure my only chance to be truly loved.

I see your eyes dark and fuming

Gazing in mine till the sun is setting

Your thumb stroking round on my chin

Holding me through windy nights warming my skin.

You’ve never known the girl that dreams of you

Under the moon traveled away from Earth

Not sure if you’d ever come across her path

Making you real when you don’t even exist

Just to sense moments and feel loved for a moment.

In real life I’d shudder if I meet your pace

I am scared that you’d not love the spots on my face

Would you ever handle and secure my insecurities

I doubt you would even want to run your fingers in my hair

For the small assets I have, I can’t tell if you’d turn your head and glare.

You give me reasons to believe when you’re not existent

Hoping we’d find unity from our nature being different

And you’d love the way I am tiny fitting in your arms

In my muse you never leave for long

This is the only fairy tale in which I belong.

It all sounds like nonsense

From the first to the last line it doesn’t make sense

But I am so ready to meet your way without building a fence

I would make these dreams real if got a chance.
