The Starry Skies

  Pearly white, her soul a night Shining brightly from the deep Greeting us, as it floats by Putting our worries to sleep Yet as the floating star tries The pearl refuses to shine The world around it darkens all the time And though she believes in a world much brighter She's afraid to one die lose her shine Holding hands with her pearl Floating up and down alone together Hoping to find the truth, to learn Roping up and down the hill forever Sisyphus in his domain Afraid to lose hope To lose control To lose her pearly white soul Afraid to lose her pearl Dropping him by accident along Afraid to be alone without a pearl nearby Although she knows she can find many more But this pearl is unique Feels strange, yet free Sentient and intelligent For nature he's a freak He was subjected to the weight of the world Projected himself on every corner he could find He was respected by everyone he had told The story that lead him to the way he rides Confident yet meek Strong and weak Like a f...

I travelled through every city I travelled through every nome I walked along The River Nile's Valley The River Nile's Delta Hand in hand with people And I traced back my footsteps alone I wander through the lands of Egypt My supposed country, my supposed home I see the older buildings standing proud Different and unique from one another I see the newer buildings stand tall Of each other they are clones I stare into the horizon, or at least I try The modern buildings block the view The constriction of the streets Make it harder to see or do Do a thing that you desire The traffic brings retching The speed at which life moves Is both so fast and oh so slow Most people end up stretching Their needs to meet their expenses And end up taking loan after loan With so much to pay for, they stagnate And fail to move forwards They fail to move on Barely breathing, barely eating Frowning at their state Each person in the street Full of a grimaced face O Land of The Nile, save us Bring us be...

  Here and now, or then and there No one will ever know when or where As a scent of conflict lingers in the air We all can't help but wonder if it is fair If it is fair to be unable to share The pain within, to be aware Of all your sins, and compare All your losses to all your wins But beware the clock as it strikes midnight And all the ruminations begin Again and again everyday, it's so common That it has wiped out any trace of a grin That your face used to wear, and then You find it so rare that you feel a thing But pain and suffering and the world combined Can't ease all the mistakes you've left behind Tried to move on but you can't Eaten away by your past Learn to live with them, and cope But it doesn't last And it ends every night before long You lay back in bed and contemplate All your issues and your mistakes Your crimes and sins and all that has been Has left you condemned, afraid Condemning yourself to an existence you can't Comprehend the reason yo...

  I went on to imagine A future where I am not me I could not even fathom What I would be But I still had that Small little dream My mind kept acting weird It wished for a world where I Do not really exist More like a ghost Watching over the ship as It float over the sea Playing my flute and whistling Singling along to the singing Of the sailors out by the ocean Living out my small little dream I float and float and float Like the little ghost that I am I wonder over the years If this is what I have become I exist in people's lives periodically And I try to make them better I persist in my imaginative theories Freeing me from my past's fetters Walking on and floating by You never see me As I say my goodbye And set you free Of me Oh but what is such a small little dream Compared to the facts and the truths When will I wake up again And be the person I always was I wonder if I will ever get to fly away I wonder if I will hide in the trees To prevent people from seeing me Trying t...
