Doomed (Prison)

To give myself up?
Would it appease you?
To give you my red-bloody heart
Would you set me free?
Its me and only me
No one but myself
If i walked myself into prisons of your thought
Would you wake me up?
From these sleepless nights
Mindlessly thinking of the better days
Before the day i met you
If i surrender my all
can i walk?
If i forsake all i have?
Would that free my soul?
Or am i doomed
What is it?
What can i do?
To free myself from this nightmare
From the sun and the moon
That set my day and night ablaze
Heartless
Selfish
They say
But there is no sign of freedom
I can't walk
I can't walk away

Hunted

Its a muted pursuit for happiness
Sometimes i climb mountains
Walk on pitch dark thorny paths
Only to look back
You are on my back
Flashing blue lights
Am i an animal?
To be chased
And hunted
Don't lie to the world
In my hunger
In my distress
I am still a home to my blood
When this night is over
I hope you are there
To see the sun rise
From a place you despised
I hope its not too late
To see that in the mute pursuit
You became a nightmare
That made a dark night even more evil
Let the children come to me

Fast

Fast?
I wondered why??
A man walking fast earned a name
Not knowing it wasn't the speed
Of his walk but his brain
So fast
He was ahead of his time
His rhymes at times
Beyond our comprehension
At the mountain top
A fusion of rhymes and rhythm
Never made it out of the village
But he left anyway
So fast he never came back
Gone without a trace
No perfect pictures only memories remain
Of Fast

The Muted Pursuit

Sometimes you sit and ponder
Wonder if the mute pursuit ever ends
Is there a home for a disposed soul?
You wonder if the weary day ever ends
If the dark night ever give way
To diamonds and pearls
To rays of sunshine
That rises from afar
To a place beyond
A pursuit is not a walk
Its not a fun run
It is a weary toiling
It is a thirst that rises at dawn
And never find sleep at night
Sometimes you walk
Sometimes you run
There is no fun
Unless a pursuit is to happiness
That can last longer than lingering moments
Of bliss here and there and no more
When you have walked
Do you walk some more
Or do you find a tree
Embrace the tiresomeness
It is ok after-all
To be tired
