Tear me down

I can’t imagine not living for something,
I can’t imagine not living for you.
I can’t imagine never giving up something,
I would give it all for a moment with you.

Tear me down and reveal my frailties,
Tear me down and see the truth,
Tear me down and hold me always,
Be my eternal fountain of youth.

Tell me that you will live for something,
Tell me that all of this is true,
Tell me that you could give up something,
To become more than you ever knew.

Tear it down, reveal your beauty,
Tear it down to find your way,
Tear it down, it is now your duty,
To make me smile from day to day.

Tell the Truth

This is a poem from last year, there's the odd part I like about it.


When I told the truth
I broke down my barriers
I hope it was not uncouth
And you forgive my frankness

It has all shaken loose
And I will let go
But only if you choose
To admit what you show

My heart is still bleeding
But I am not afraid
My blood is still pumping
With passion to be shared

Don’t run from your feelings
What your heart says is true
What can be more appealing
Than being me and also you.

Beauty - An Exercise

This is a writing exercise based on Beauty; at some point I may pull these lines apart and find a poem.


Beauty can drive you crazy
Beauty can make you insane
Beauty can change your outlook
Beauty can cause you pain

Beauty is not your equal
Beauty is the fall of man
Beauty is all you wish for
Beauty is where it began

Beauty will give you heartache
Beauty will be your guide
Beauty will waste to nothing
Beauty will be set aside

Beauty has taken you captive
Beauty has stolen your soul
Beauty has changed you forever
Beauty has swallowed you whole

Beauty knows nothing of substance
Beauty knows it will not last
Beauty knows that you desire it
Beauty knows it is surpassed

Beauty was nothing without you
Beauty was not what you thought
Beauty was more than just pleasure
Beauty was not to be caught

Beauty does not understand you
Beauty does as it will please
Beauty does what will placate it
Beauty does nothing but tease

Beauty may ask what you’re thinking
Beauty may seem more than lust
Beauty may not live forever
Beauty may not earn your trust

Beauty shall know temptation
Beauty shall be denied
Beauty shall take the burden
Burden shall know that you lied

Beauty should be everlasting
Beauty should hold no fears
Beauty should lead your heartstrings
Beauty should shed no tears

Beauty cannot be forgiven
Beauty cannot live within
Beauty cannot find redemption
Beauty cannot dwell with sin

The World

The world is broken, the world is unfair,
The world doesn’t recognise if you care.
The world is ignorant, the world does not share,
The world doesn’t understand what is truly there.

I am myself, I am not who you think,
I am not afraid; even when I sink.
I will keep trying, I will not shrink,
I will rewrite the world with indian ink.

You too are broken, you know it is true,
I will not pretend that I am not like you
And you will cause a hullabaloo
When you feel a sense of deja vu.

The world is broken, but you are there
I recognise that you all do care
You are not ignorant, you will share,
You truly understand what is really there.
