Mirakee
Waiting 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?

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.

The queens were not crowned.

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?
