Life

There Was No Protocol

Half -minded. It was raining
red. The vampire was getting ready.
My home was burning.

Disinvesting my love. The
road in my heart goes to the river. The
slender moon is sad. Negotiation drops

I am dragging a broken
pillar. Your body becomes bone china.
I clan write the murder dates.

America's Suicide

Folder: 
New Lyrics

Welcome to America,

We have on-tap medication

Instant gratification

And sex is the main attraction

On every TV show

There are countless regulations

Gender neutralization

And guns bought without discretion

By some mental psycho

 

Living in America,

You'll find public degradation

Racial intensification

And violence glorification 

Sits high up on a throne

There's widespread defamation 

Family demoralization

And schools force indoctrination 

Even when kids are home

 

-I hope you're happy now

We did this to ourselves 

The ship is sinking down

We're living in this hell

But you can count me out

Yeah, you can count me out- ( pre chorus)

 

-America's gone suicidal

And everyone is in denial 

America's gone suicidal

America's gone suicidal- (chorus)

 

Farewell to America,

Dying from exacerbation 

Killing what's left of this nation

And these bastards want formation 

So we will come undone

 

I hope you're happy now

We did this to ourselves

The ship is sinking down

We're living in this hell

But you can count me out

Yeah you can count me out

 

America's gone suicidal 

And everyone is in denial 

America's gone suicidal 

America's gone suicidal 

 

Prison's overpopulated 

Drugs are oversaturated

Everybody's medicated

Everything's incorporated

Sin's become domesticated

Whores are being celebrated

Churches getting compensated

Cities are all crime infested

Our freedom has been confiscated 

And everyone's been inundated 

 

But you can count me out

Yeah, you can count me out

America's gone suicidal 

And everyone is in denial 

America's gone suicidal 

And nobody showed up for trial

America's in such denial

America's gone suicidal

I Was Your Destiny

Folder: 
Satish Verma

Nature calls agenda.
It pulls my heartstrings walking in
moonless night to find fireflies.

Hiding in a beehive,the
annual rings cut your years ikn pain
Echoes were waiting in hope.

The sap refuses to rise.
Brown marks on your face are
becoming darker. I Will cross you in water.

Want

Folder: 
New Lyrics

Laying next to you

I just want to stare into you

Into your beautiful soul

Forever

 

Staying close to you

I just want to stay inside you

Yeah, until we become one

Endeavor

 

-I know what you want

You're all that I want

I've got all I want in you

You know what I want

I'm all that you want

You've got all you want, it's true-(chorus)

 

Coming up for air

I just want to breathe into you

And then I'll go back for more

Surrender

 

Reaching out for you

I just want to grab onto you

And I'm never letting go

So tender

 

I know what you want

You're all that I want

I've got all I want in you

You know what I want

I'm all that you want

You've got all you want, it's true

 

Rolling in the sheets, I'm lost inside of you

When I start to dream, I just envision you

 

I know what you want

You know what I want...

I know what you want

You're all that I want

I've got all I want in you

You know what I want

I'm all that you want 

You've got all you want, it's true

Author's Notes/Comments: 

A newer one. This one is for my wife.  Finished 1-6-23. 

Comments welcome.

A hand full of air

Something stirring 

A cautious hover 

Over a breaking smile 

gratitude spills 

tumbling over the reverently held ether 

life lives here, moistened with 

Blood, sweat, Tears and rain 

Every fall a rise 

Like the breath of providence 

A dip left 

A twist right 

the rhythm of life inspires dance,

Poetry, art, music and song  

Like air slipping over chords

Sacred Verbage 

Vibration 

Your hands are never empty 

There is no void, 

There is only the appearance of nothing 

Which by the mere thought is even something 

So grab on tight!

Even when it seems there is no thing

it really is something, isn't it? 

Oh what we see, be and do when nothing is impossible! 

 

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Yes, yes you can!

My Baby Steps

Folder: 
Satish Verma

It was a dry run to die.
Inequality between sun and moon
always inspires to save the earth.

My love was beyond the
pain of stones submerged in the
salt lake. Nightmares visit the eyes at night.

In well defined ripped
loyalty, a black star says, I am-
the cry of fallen truth of the conscious.

Retrospective Recollection

Folder: 
New Lyrics

I miss the way you told me

I would never live up to anything 

I miss the way you'd scold me

For whenever my dreams began breathing

I miss the screaming in my ears/ I miss the shouting in my face

And all the painful years/ and all the dreadful days

Of living life in fear/ of living through the hate

 

I miss those days (chorus)

 

I miss the way you held me

Squeezing my chest just a little too tight

Oh, how you would expel me

Pulling me down before I got too high

I miss the screaming in my ears/ I miss the shouting in my face

And all the painful years/ and all the dreadful days

Of living life in fear/ of living through the hate

 

I miss those days

 

I miss the stupid games we used to play

It's funny how time separates us so far away

I wish it could go back the way things used to be

But it won't last a day

 

I miss those days

The Cobwebs

Folder: 
Satish Verma

An abandoned smile on
your face was inviting a hurricane.
What was the logic in the air?

Something was wrong in
earth's rotation. Words are the same
The letters are not changing the place.

Anxiety wears the sparks.
Between you and I the pause was
making space. Poems are searching new home.

December

Folder: 
New Lyrics

-Remember

It's December

It's the happiest time of the year

It's December

But in this frozen heart there's no cheer- (chorus)

 

Let it snow til I'm covered from head to toe

Let the sun go down before I can get home

Just remember it's December 

 

Let the leaves turn brown as they rot on the ground

Let the night black out everything that's around

Just remember it's December 

 

Remember 

It's December 

It's the happiest time of the year

Its December 

But in this frozen heart there's no cheer

 

It's so cold

Why do I feel so alone?

 

That's when I

Remember 

It's December 

It's the happiest time of the year

It's December 

Cause in this frozen heart there's no cheer

In this frozen heart there's no cheer

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I kinda got my inspiration from a Christmas song I had stuck in my head, and the words just flowed out, so now I have a "winter" or "Christmas song" under my belt. 

See if you can guess what song it was...
