Follow @zaan74 on @mirakeeappWaiting for the prince
That will never come.
The one that does,
Prays and lusts.
Kings and conquerors,
Feeble body feast.
The jesters and trainers
Sit in the front advisory seats.
A queen is nothing
But an accessory,
And history cares
For the brightness of her lips
Than the bruises
Concealed in a hurry.
Tell me again
How this ends?
The happily ever after
Without a friend?
Palaces can be prisons too.

I make home
On the surface of the
Sun.
They tell me
The brighter the sky
The happier I'll be.
You'll see how the tears
Will melt away,
And how close the stars
Are than faraway.
I made a home
On the surface of the
Sun
Like they told me to.
How happier will I be?

You are me
You are the shadow of me
no matter where you're
everywhere anywhere everytime
always with me
You are the river of my life
no matter what's happen
everywhere anywhere everytime
always with me
You are the heart beats of me
no matter the rhythms
everywhere anywhere everytime
always with me
You are the light of my darkness
no matter how the weather and situation
everywhere anywhere everytime
always with me
You are the moon and the stars
no matter where might be or when
everywhere anywhere everytime
always with me
You are the mountain, the ocean and the sky
no matter how far, deep and high
everywhere anywhere everytime
always with me
You are the soul of me
no matter where i search
everywhere anywhere everytime
always with me
You are my breathing
no matter how suffocating to gasps
everywhere anywhere everytime
always with me
You are my entire world
no matter what's inside and outside
everywhere anywhere everytime
always with me
You are my good and bad self
no matter feelings i endure everyday
everywhere anywhere everytime
always with me
You are the one and only
no matter challenges to prove the world
everywhere anywhere everytime
always with me
You are the love of my life
no matter seductive and temptation arose
everywhere anywhere everytime
always with me
You are my destiny ...destined to be
no matter how universe circle around
everywhere anywhere everytime
always with me
no matter how things upside down
no matter how far we're gonna to run, hide and deny
when two hearts found TRUE LOVE
what impossible being possible
like a magical Eiffel tower in the midst of the night
like a beautiful soaring white dove
like a mountain stand still stronger
like a romantic red lit fountain
LOVE is just a TRUE ETERNAL LIGHT -

Follow @zaan74 on @mirakeeappHow little must you
Think of yourself
To think of another's failure
As your success.
But their failures
Are turning into stepping stones,
While you idle and simmer
In jealousy.

Follow @zaan74 on @mirakeeappThey stopped our rivers
From meeting the oceans,
So we settled like silt
On river beds.
It's not our choice,
But that's all we can do,
Wait for the rains
To tear through.

Follow @zaan74 on @mirakeeappThey were stripped and burned
And buried alive.
They were pushed and pulled
And forced to a side.
They were mothers and sisters
And daughters before woman.
They were breathing and feeling
And surviving but never living.
They were silenced and fenced
And locked up in towers.
They were made dainty and fragile
And broken like flowers.
Oh these queens that you talk about
Were never crowned.
No coronations, no applause.
No wild crowds cheering them on.
Yet, so deep is the legacy they leave behind,
Raising voices against the unkind.
We fall, we fall but never stop.

Follow @zaan74 on @mirakeeappThe last time you told yourself
You were doing okay
You had your fingers tightly wound
Around your lips
Because it they heard it,
If they believed it,
Even when it wasn't true,
Even when you never were,
They would have choked your
Hope out of you.
And what are you with your hope
That lets you survive another day?

Follow @zaan74 on @mirakeeappYour apologies come
Eternities later
When the pain you inflicted
Was inflicted upon you.
But your apologies aren't
What apologies are expected to be.
They are excuses,
They are defences,
Telling us we were deserving
Of the wrong you did to us,
But not you.
Your apologies are indulgence
In your delusional pride
That rests on the shoulders of fragile
Narcissism that root themselves
In false superiority
Created by your sly insecurities.
Your apologies are as empty
As the shell that should hold your soul.
They are words that you tell yourself
Believing they let you stand tall.
So,
Keep them to yourself.
Let them keep you chained.
We were never in need of your remorse.

Follow @zaan74 on @mirakeeappOn good days
The bed turns to quick sand
And I sink little by little
Trying to get comfortable
In the uncomfortableness
That weighs on my soul.
On worst days
I wish I would fly
And flutter away
Like dust.

Follow @zaan74 on @mirakeeappWe were waiting
For the lips that so
Ferociously devoured us
To speak our name
When the world
Utters about love.
And they?
They kept us waiting
And we kept waiting,
Sunsets and sunrises,
Leaping years,
Long until they were gone
And settled in the comforts of
Another's arms.

Follow @zaan74 on @mirakeeappBedridden conscience,
Vessels of empty knowledge,
Fires in the skies,
Truth goes unacknowledged.
Hold on to what
When the four walled shelter
Doesn't have a place to stand,
And this artificial life
Is set ablaze
By hands that should have been
Folded in prayer,
And the kings and queens
Crowned by the ones they make poor
Stay merry on stolen land?
What is the cure for the sickness
Of the soul
That stays shortsighted?

Follow @zaan74 on @mirakeeappTheir ambitions were written
With fresh red, drawn from the flesh
That they dread won't be silenced
Like the aged iron in the veins
Of their blind believers
Who stitch their own mouths,
Break their own bones
To become the stepping stones
Of the worshipped tyrant.

Follow @zaan74 on @mirakeeappWhen we build homes
We build their walls first,
A door and a few windows,
And then the roof.
And these homes belong
To the ones that build them
And to the ones that they are built for,
And you bring your guests
Through its door
And stay them for a while.
But a while became months,
Then years,
And then our homes were given to them,
And we were told to fight between ourselves.
And they were fools among us who fought
To be thrown out of their own homes,
And fools among us who fought
To throw people out of their homes.
But this land is so vast and accomodating
To build new houses to be turned into homes,
So why are we not questioning the motives of those
That bring their naive guests to our homes?

Dear friend,
I hope the light reaches you before the poison and we stand together again as humans that we are.

Follow @zaan74 on @mirakeeappHow hard it must have been for you
To care for me,
When you were taught to hate me,
And you chose to hate me,
Based on those baseless reasons,
The reasons that you were once told
Makes us stronger together.
I wonder the (those) God(s) that you pray
How many of them have been replaced
By humans,
How many creations have you chosen
To worship as divine,
And how many lines have they drawn around you
To trap us, to divide,
As they feed their own lust,
As we suffer, as we lose a battle that was always against all of us,
Including you.
Oh my dear friend, remember when we smiled together,
The laughter and our shared concerns,
Our fears and worries of tomorrow,
When you protected me and dried my tears,
And when I did the same for you,
Only because we saw each other only as humans.
I think it is okay, I always knew you'd choose that hate,
And hope is supposed to be foolish,
And I'll stay foolish, even when it is your hand
That buries me underground.
When we meet in the heavens,
I'll forgive you.
The darkness they created was too thick,
And you didn't know you.

Follow @zaan74 on @mirakeeappThey ask me
What is the most important to life
And I say,
Money.
And they laugh at me.
I tell them
A cub raised in a cage from birth
Doesn't know to hunt.
Money will let it survive the savannah.
They laugh as they chase their greed.
Sometimes they are the spectators
And sometimes, the dancing monkey.
But they like to believe
They are the ones holding
The rattle drum.
I wonder
Which one of us is
More pitiable,
The trampled
Or the blind?

Follow @zaan74 on @mirakeeappThey rob from themselves
Their own voices that one day
Will try call out to us.
Their hands that
Slaughter us,
Violate us,
Silence us,
One day will ask for us.
And we will be there
With the scars they had torn
Into our skins,
Our ripped tongues and
Weary souls,
Standing by their sides
Even though they fail us
In this present.
We will be their for their
Daughters and sons,
Mothers and fathers,
And every soul that needs us.
We will be there.
And we will not fail you
Like you failed us.
Our homes share the same roof.

They are welcoming you
Into their den.
Saving you from the shadows
Lurking under the bright sun.
How long before their claws
Dig into your flesh?
How long before they have had
Their fun?

We are roiling in fires,
Chanting prayers to the devil.
Leave us. Spare us.
Nobody hears us.
They wait till we are ashes.
Spill blood of the tongueless.
They home parasites in their gardens.
They keep watering the disease laden.
They'll hush our voices again,
Until another dies in vain.
Come out with their candles
In the darkness they forced us to handle.
Who are the sinners?
Who are the saints?
Both decide their truths for themselves.
And the blooms are afraid of their darkness.
