My life today.

What has my life come to ?
Where I brood for endless hours in front of a screen.
Where mindless thoughts and endless distraction,
Blind me from what has been.

What happened to the endless rush
Of getting to know another soul
Of learning hidden truths and fears
Of becoming a part of a whole

What happened to a careless day
Where time seemed to rush on by
Where leaving was not an option
Where there was no parting lie

And what of careless laughter?
Not brought on by the reckless substances
What of genuine happiness?
What of genuine bliss?

My mind drifts back to simpler times
When it valued not, what it had
Where comfort and ease were a given
Where I was genuinely glad.

Negative spaces and Gorgeous places.

Out of darkness is born the greatest of beauty,
Words that flow from out of the abyss...
That jot themselves down without a sense of duty,
Out of darkness comes an unfathomable bliss..

The music of a withered soul
That has a story to tell ,
Becomes music that is more whole
Not just a commodity to sell.

Words written down from genuine places
Places that contentment cannot reach
The kind of pain that changes faces
The kind of lesson that serves to teach.

In a world where all is stable
Such darkness is no longer welcome
Where sorrow is pushed under the table
And powdery masks have made us dumb.

Darkness that comes our way
Must never be feared or shunned
Take it , feel it , come what may
The greatest of beauty it will become.

Layer by layer as you undress me ,
you become more intrigued ..
Addiction and subordination follow ,
the insatiable urge to feed ..
-Yours sincerely , Ferrero Rocher ..

Nirvana ..

night after night
monotonous verse
inspired by true genius
repetition being its only curse

he stood under the bright light
losing himself in its glow
his performance was inspired
his boredom did not show

he played out of love
a love that faded away
it felt like drudgery
to hold his guitar each day

he thought not about the connection
which had drawn him to the song
such power drowned into emotion
now he was just playing along

he was praised like a god
his presence making jaws drop
when he took to the stage
a million hearts would stop

yet he was far away
craving secluded space
he looked at the cold barrel
a chance to leave this place

he'd given enough to the world
now he'd give them distance
he scribbled down a note
with a sense of darkened persistence

joy had deserted him
fame had broken him
all that was left
was a future that was grim

high on drugs
but still thinking straight
he took the gun
and realised , this was fate

peacefully floating ,
through the white abyss
he felt nothing except contentment
finally he had attained true bliss

here Cobain was just a word
no different from the next
he left us all behind
completely and totally vexed ..

The mother

"I can't take it anymore" ,
said the mother to her six billion .
" Frosty end hath come before ,
you'll no longer be my children".

"You're getting me all hot and bothered ,
I think i'm coming down with the chills ,
keep your boats well tethered ,
for waves that rock the hills ."

"My exterior calm is wavering ,
my composure is beginning to thaw ,
these last moments are worth savouring ,
forget your erroneous flaw."

"I'll live through this ordeal,
for you , it may be too late .
There is nothing left to feel,
you've already sealed your fate"

Shallow ..

This one is for a supposed friend ..


shallow , afraid to be deep ,
snuffed out by the very secrets you keep,
unsure of what you think ,
afraid of what you feel ,
pushed to the very brink ,
you start believe what's unreal ..

always the victim ,
never at fault ,
I've learnt to take what you say
with a pinch of salt ..

so you'll remain shallow ,
unless you're set free
by someone you catch in your web ,
that someone won't be me ..

Downward spiral ..

step into my vortex ..
no options , going down ..
descending into the darkness ..
lets turn that smile into a frown ..

hate is all you have ,
down here, its welcome ..
reciprocation of your anger
it won't be long till you succumb

'the dark side of the loon,
thats a funny name'
what would you care
to you its all the same..

'you're a funny guy
why don't you stay awhile
wait , you're not funny anymore ?
don't bother to waste my time ..'

here we are , we've finally reached
this is the last stop
this is rock bottom
no lower can you drop ..

hope you regret your stay
you're going to be here for a while
this comic's mind is a scary place
why so serious , smile!
