I wish for honey to keep dripping   

I wish a hummingbird would land on my hand  

I wish smooth iridescent shell covered the walls of my house  

I wish I could bury my face in the left dimple of your cheek   

I wish that I could bottle my mother’s smell and spray it when I missed her  

I wish my only sustenance was love  

I wish I could see Danni’s widow peaked profile and translucent blue eyes from the side  

I wish death was something I looked forward to  

I wish I knew myself better  

I wish I could meet the spirits that tease me in my dreams  

I wish I could raise my kids next to my parents in my childhood house  

I wish I was brave enough to be brilliant and talented  

I wish I could sing and sunbathe all day in a meadow full of cherry trees  

I wish I could collect the feathers from the birds of paradise  

I wish God would talk to me  

I wish I could see His face  

I wish I could capture the feeling your body makes as you succumb to sleep in my arms  

I wish I could hold your hand while floating sandwiched between a sea of bioluminescence and a sea of stars  

Sa’di
Come, I am lovesick and desolate without you 

Come and see how sick I am in this sorrow without you 

At night I lament your absence, oh fairy-faced, 

And when the morning comes, it is as if I am on fire without you. 

Sarkhosh 

Love came, and away went patience and fortitude, 

As did endurance and tranquility, comfort and sleep. 

This flame of love set my heart on fire 

This flood of love drowned me. 

in the darkness, there was a galaxy fireball  

surrounded by the Universe children that never fall  

one, the desert he formed  

and the airs he warmed  

one moved the whale-road  

and was dancing in nothingness like an ode  

in the land of shimmer, silence, and dust  

appreciating the beauty you must  

it’s quite exquisite and you could feel the essence  

of beings being in their adolescence  

up in the skies, you see the stardust  

and appreciate the beauty, you must  

space, in this wonderous reality  

make you feel your inevitable mortality  

so immense, no bound by any being  

so marvelous you can’t stop your eyes from seeing  

full with infinite possibilities  

yet empty of our temporal hostilities  

the vast darkness and infinite potential  

ours surviving in it would be essential

I can’t exactly describe how it feels 

to live out of your mind 

I feel like a king with no crown 

when you’re not by my side 

your body, your mind 

everything was incredible 

the moment you left 

it felt like everyone was so cynical 

because nobody’s like you, 

no one could ever compete 

with the way you hug me so tightly 

and the way you make me feel 

no one could ever shine 

the way you do inside a crowd 

to keep it real I did nothing to deserve you, 

but I wish I could keep you by my side 

I trusted you with my heart 

could’ve torn it to pieces 

but you had my back from the start 

Through all the misery, catastrophe 

you still managed to make me smile 

Everything I went through 

you were right there by my side 

and now that you’re gone 

I wish you just had stayed for a little while 

you’re the definition of beauty, 

the embodiment of loyalty 

The moment I met you 

my heart fell under some sorcery 

you pull its strings with so much mastery 

and I can’t deny the balance that you bring to me 

My mind is where you’ll always reside 

as my love for you will only grow 

the more we divide 

So let me raise a toast 

to the girl i love most 

to the most beautiful piece of art in the room 

Who could effortlessly leave any bride 

without her groom? 

The way she left my mind 

with no room for any other thought 

but the day she would allow me to come home makes me wonder  

how earth 

could ever survive without its moon 

 

You are so strong about right and wrong 

White and black 

You don’t see colors 

because white is all the colors 

and black is none 

You don’t see gray 

You hate gray 

Yet you live in gray 

Because life is gray 

When you are passionate you are like fire 

When peaceful you are like air 

You love passionately, it’s toxic 

and when you hate, your indifference kills 

Your touch heals when you are high 

and when you are low, it burns 

Your happiness radiations make everyone sick 

and your sadness kills the flowers you walk by 

Your expectations are too high 

that when you fall, you break into pieces 

You laugh until it hurts 

and you cry rivers 

and I love you as you are 

 

An Auster blew my curtains in slight 

Brought with it a light 

So dense and so bright 

My eyes opened wide in sight, 

My heart deepened in insight. 

Mesmerized l’m, in such delight, 

As if in a butterfly’s wind flight 

Of course yes ,l’m in a first class flight 

To wisdom and foresight  

Along the sight, a horde of horse-flies !  

Fearless, I close the window an’ 

Carry on in that dream of butterflies! 

Empty roads and abandoned streets
with hollow silence and harrowing creeps
I found myself with a hushed reverberation and a hopeless spirit
that would make the burning fire die and the high ambitions plummet
The world has come to a halt as well as a huge portion of me 

A vicious void of dark illusion consumed me
A raging sea of hopeful vision drowned me 

An invisible monster sneaking out among many
taking lives so effortlessly and mourning on plenty
lives were changing to an unknown ending
Visions were merging to become complete
and feelings were crushed under death’s feet 

A vicious void of dark illusion consumed me
A raging sea of hopeful vision drowned me 

Life will never be the same after the outrageous fiasco
that destroyed pure innocence and buoyant prospects
My downing heart is set on goodbyes 

Still humanity can be seen in the tiniest aspects
A vicious void of dark illusion consumed me
A raging sea of hopeful vision drowned me 

It feels like a mess in the perplexed souls
Piercing cuts eating their crammed wholes
True kindness and tender love are what left to feel
in a world full of twisted yet halcyon ordeals 

A vicious void of dark illusion consumed me
A raging sea of hopeful vision drowned me 

Hard lessons are being leached
by God’s comrades that made all the rules preached
Life and death play their wicked games
To me, to you, under the gleaming fire flames 

A vicious void of dark illusion consumed me
A raging sea of hopeful vision drowned me 

As we are now falling, tears streaming down our faces.
And with the feeling of your warm hands on this rainy night,
I allowed myself to remember for the last time your smile
that always looked so bright under the moonlight. 

Here we are now, bodies sinking to our deaths,
And the ground waiting to steal our breaths.
How much I regret not being able to gift you
The future you had so wished for us two. 

And in the embrace of the dying year, I found myself
driven by the fear that you may forever disappear.
Only then have I wished the hands that were now
holding me dearly had never belonged to you. 

I sobbed over the graveyard of our past
And I cursed the world for tearing us apart.
Because I now had to carry the feelings you left behind.
I now was only allowed to carry you on my mind. 

For this be the only punishment I deserved 

I hate the way you changed me  

From a blooming flower to a dying rose  

I hate the way you make me feel  

When the room is dim but you light it up with a smile 

 I hate the way everyone admires you  

Dearest son, brother and friend 

 I hate it when you talk  

Every word is dagged right through my heart  

I hate it when you leave  

Then I am left with only me  

And you know how much I hate my own company  

I hate that you made me love you  

Why did you have to torture me like that?  

I hate the way that i don’t hate you  

Not even a little, not even at all
