CLOWNING AROUND

I feel the darkness
Envelope me slowly
I'm mired in craziness
As it caresses gently

The echoes of their laughs
The blows raining down
They're the kings of gaffes
They'll regret hitting this clown

I rise up stronger than ever
Defeating all self-doubt
I can feel the euphoria of power
As I laugh manically; not shout

The make up is my skin
I'm done obeying society
I throw the rule book in the bin
I'm done with this fake-ass piety

Nobody cared when I was down
I was invisible to everyone
Now that I'm a proper clown
They wanna snatch away my fun

I'm on a happy merry mission
To realize my life's not a tragedy
With a suit, make up and a gun
I'll show you how life's a comedy

You're gonna see my Happy face
As I show you how society is
I'll even conquer outer Space
As I reach for eternal bliss

Batman or good ol' Mr Wayne
Can't possibly stop me anymore
They can't understand my pain
But I'll educate through blood 'n' gore

Inject me with fancy concoctions;
Lock me up, wrap me in a chain
It's too late to peddle your potions
Coz you'll never conquer my brain

You might think I'm totally insane
Others, that I'm a sad old loner
But, come closer, I'll tell you my name
It's none other than Joker!

LONG TIME DEAD

Searching for perfection in this life
But it never does materialize
So many hours have been wasted
Making life unnecessarily complicated

But this stubborn heart of mine
Won't listen, won't tow in line
I'm done fighting its crazy desires
I'll succumb to the inevitable fires

I thought it would totally enthrall
But, desire has been my downfall
Can't complain, for it's my fault
As I give in to the raucous tumult

Now I'm dumb, deaf and blind
On the precipice of losing my mind
But I can't turn back now
To the addiction, I can't say ciao

I'll ride the rollercoaster till the end
But don't follow in my footsteps, friend
For, despite its sparkle and allure
You'll forever be desiring more

You'll be reduced to being a slave
No peace at all; just crave after crave
And then you're lost in ignorance
With no time for repentance

And then, it's too late to go back
You're miles off the righteous track
Now lying alone in the hospital bed
I realise I was already a long time dead

Vampire

NO REGRETS

There's a deep, dark pain
Teasing my old brain
I can't rest, or sit still
Can't go against my will

I can't escape this prison
Virtual, and oh so not fun
I'm roped in for eternity
Nobody can rescue me

I'm to blame - naivety
Now I see the stupidity
But don't rush to judge
I've no intention to budge

Destiny has been kind
I won't be losing my mind
I'll hang on to the memories
To carry me across stormy seas

A deep, dark chasm awaits me
To drag me without dignity
Towards my own personal hell
Where nobody'll hear me yell

But, I won't drown in regret
I'll tell myself it was kismet
And when the light fades out
I'll pass on without a shout

Vampire

TICKET TO HEAVEN

You're my superstar
Hidden away so far
Does fate or destiny
Plan to unite us finally?

You're my shining light
Giving me divine might
I get paralysed, too
At the thought of losing you

Invisible tears clog my eyes
Silent sobs and teary cries
As I lie awake at night
Till the moon is outta sight

What does the future hold?
What does tomorrow behold?
How will our story unfold?
Can all we touch turn to gold?

Empty dreams I cling to fast
Can this paradise ever last?
Wishful thinking says the heart
But I cannot bear to be apart

A tiny miracle is all I need
To overcome the lustful greed
Something unseen from beyond
To free myself from this bond

No longer want to be a slave
Wanna rest easy in my grave
Don't wanna live in daydreams
Wanna run from accursed screams

Try'na ignore the devil's whispers
Don't wanna be amongst gangsters
Try'na earn my ticket to heaven
To join my righteous brethren

Vampire

MONSTER

You left me totally broken
What devilry had awoken?
I was a nervous crying wreck
But you had no mercy, heck!

You are the devil for sure
Your sickness has no cure
You don't deserve a second chance
You don't deserve repentance

After the first time, I was dead inside
It seemed even God had shoved me aside
But you continued to feed your desire
You had no intention to retire

You were supposed to be my hero
Protecting me, wherever I go
I couldn't understand at all
What made you lose control?

You threatened me with a blade
If anything I ever said
You didn't just tear my humanity
You ripped my soul from inside me

Hours later, tears would flow incessantly
Nobody in the world believed me
Not even bothering to see the tear
Nobody was interested enough to care

I would bleed for days on end
I only had the courage to tell one friend
Coz by now I had lost the will to exist
I had lost the ability to even resist

My world came crashing down
I just wanted to jump and drown
Coz the shame would live with me
Stuck like a birthmark for eternity

After I took a fatal overdose
The authorities looked real close
Only to discover a shocking reality
That the monster was abusing me sexually

Now I'm in heaven looking down
Seeing the monster locked in prison
So, dad, do you feel at all guilty
For all the things you did to me?

CHESS

Playing chess in the afternoon 

Till the appearance of the moon

Till I see the dim light of front house 

Till I see the silhouette of my future spouse

Move back and forward 

The Queen attacks with no coward

Not forget with the horses

Protecting you, my love, from hunting corpses

Sharpen the brain, crack the crunch

Learn tactics and strategies

Jump, slide, stab and punch

And gain a victory from enemies

Let's play chess

Let's beat emptiness

O, King of the heart

I dedicate my fights

Only to you

*By Balebila*

NEW HOPE

Your world is all upside down
You wanna disappear n leave town
Can't erase that scowling frown
Can't get you out of your dressing gown

You got zero appetite
You got nothing left to fight
You can't seem to do any right
You can't crawl back into the light

Devastation is your best friend
As you think of ways to make it end
The anger envelopes you tight
And the future fills you with fright

Consumed totally by despair
Can't get free of this nightmare
As you longingly stare
At an old photo of Mr Pierre

But, girl, you can make amends
Start afresh, get new friends
When old doors slam in your face
Look ahead to a brand new place

Don't wallow in self-pity
Nor drown in abject misery
Find freedom from tides of despair
Coz you're not beyond repair

Wipe those tears of anguish away
Let the music in - let your body sway
Away from all the negativities
And the painful memories

Look in the mirror and tell yourself
It's time to get back your health
No more living, hiding in the past
Coz the pain won't forever last

COVETED ROSE

She's like an English rose
In a secret garden nobody knows
Surrounded by unending greenery
And breathtaking tranquility

Her aura glows for miles around
Try in vain - it can never be found
And what of those sparkling eyes
That captivate and mesmerize

Words can't do poetic justice
Though I say it with hubris
But one must try to write
About a persona so bright

She's coveted from East to West
Perpetual mission - no time to rest
She's not that easy to charm
But the right magic will do no harm

Long after I'm dust and bones
Surrounded by vegetation and stones
Her memory will linger and resonate
A poignant reminder about fate

And to the world we say goodbye
But the heart says a gentle sigh
Overwhelmed with angst and hurt
Taking the bittersweet into the dirt

Vampire
