A daily dose of ecstasy

Life’s strange
People come and people go
some stay.
Making their place in every corner
Unforgettable
Blending in your life,
They become your defining color
Absorbed in your veins
Dictating a flow
Slowly seeping
A subtle feeling
Bit by bit
Changing you.
Like a dose of nicotine
making a place in that stream
Like the smell of fresh coffee
for a good day’s beginning
Like the breeze against your face
reviving a lost smile
Like the tune of your best song
to put your day to an end
When the mask strains
and the world drains
All you need is
that daily dose of ecstasy.

Alternate forms of happiness

Alternate forms of happiness
In the winter chill
In nature’s ultimate skill
In a free fall thrill
And a dollar bill

Alternate forms of happiness
In the mad house in town
In the pretty new black gown
When you’re up and down
With a shiny broken crown

Alternate forms of happiness
In the chirpy talk talk talk
And the fluttery dancy walk
Behold the slender stalk
Right now, Cease the squawk

Alternate forms of happiness
In dreams and the nightly tale
Under the soft silk veil
And the tunnel on the trail
And a pink glass of ale

Slip

One, two, three
The clock ticks, the mind flicks
Splendid tales of then
Pieces of paper today..
Crumble.
The sand drains out,
Slowly, swiftly…
Slipping out of hands
The hourglass demands…
Time up.
Trying to catch up,
Stagnant, sluggish clan
Laborious attempts to
Complain and fight back
Fade out.

Doors

Four walls make a universe,
They enclose and enthrall
virtues, vices, duties, egos,
“Evolution” as they call.

Doors, to stop evolving
Doors, to runaway
Doors, to welcome you with open arms
Doors, to kick them all away

To step out and feel the breezy winds
To walk with your head held high
To seek shelter when the same winds chill
And hide when they look at you and sigh.

To peep in when you want to know
Or put your desperate ear to hear
To shut them when you want no more
All alone, in relief, in peace.

Four walls make a universe,
They enclose and enthrall
virtues, vices, duties, egos,
And doors play with them all.

If

If you had a choice to live, would you kill it?
If you promised to die, would you live by it?
If God came to you, would you believe him?
If you knew its a dream, would you wake up?
If you knew the road led to heaven, would you stop and live?
If the nightmare was real, would you go to sleep?
If its the last piece of bread you had, would you eat it?
If God broke your faith, would you fight him?
If you had to jump off from heaven, would you come back to this world?
If you were dying tomorrow, would you be sad today?
If you din’t care, would you care not to care?
If you had no emotions, would you be indifferent?
If you lost track of time, would you wait or hurry?
If your words poisoned you, would you still speak?
If you swallowed a diamond, would it make you rich?
If you liked it, would you still question it?
If your mask deceives you, would you still wear it?
If you had only one choice, would you refuse to choose it?
