The Cyclical Nature of Philosophy

The Irony of a Calculated Equation with a Predisposed outcome. This thing called life.
One lives, One learns to live. No regrets, no sorrows. Just the Present and what is to come.
In the unknown, there is comfort in the inevitability which is that of it's nature; unknown.
It is unknown because it is not meant to be known until it is experienced, therefore becoming known.
So do not dwell in the house that you cannot see, for it will reveal itself in due time. And when the door exposes, you enter, still unknown of what is inside.

Bedouin: I Am

Hello
Hello Hi
Hello Hi This is my goodbye
Hello Hi This is my goodbye, That every time I say hello
Hello Hi This is my goodbye, That every time I say hello, I'm forced to say goodbye.
This will be my curse
Goodbye
Hello
Goodbye.
Here are all my secrets
Here are all my secrets, before I pass on by
Here are all my secrets, before I pass on by, Hello goodbye hello
Goodbye fair-well hello.
Hi
Hello
Adieu
Adieu My time has come to go.
Adieu My time has come to go. Has it been 6 years yet ?
Has it been 6 years yet ? if so then I must go.

Born of desert sands
The bedouin that I am,
Bound to this cycle.

Goodbye
Hello
Goodbye
This will be my curse
I'm forced to say goodbye, That every time I say hello, This is my goodbye Hello Hi
That every time I say hello, This is my goodbye Hello Hi
This is my goodbye Hello Hi
Hello Hi
Hello.

The Joke Behind The Tears That Fell.

Who are we kidding,
I am just a kid.
With nothing to lose,
and nothing to give.
But please,
leave my memory alone,
I cant see another man's tongue down your throat.
I cant see another man's arm by your side.
Call it immature
I call it pride.
I call it pride.
Give me just this.
After all I am just a kid.
Who am I kidding,
thats all a lie,
I am a man,
indeed full of pride.
If its another man you want, then go right ahead.
Nothing is stopping you, replace me in bed.
Replace me with clothes
Replace me with shoes,
He will never look as good as I do.
Because I am a man, who grew from a boy,
I know what pain is,
and I'm not a toy.
Who are you kidding,
You know the truth,
We both play hard to get,
a tango takes two,
we are moving on,
a new day's anew.
Yet my heart is still broken,
damned as a fool.
for no one but you
for no one but you
for no one,
but you
insist on him too.


I was once sweet to you.
I am the same flavor
but your palette has changed.
it's all you can handle,
or so you say.

"Who am I kidding,
I am just a kid
jealous of your ability
to have someone to kiss."

Wouldn't You ?

You would think
that saying goodbye
would get easier
after its said a thousand times.
You would think, wouldn't you.
You would think
that being alone
would make you grow
stronger
and not weaker
You would think, wouldn't you.
And being seen
as an outsider
must sound appealing
to an insider.
And being called
different
as a form
of complement
You would, wouldn't you.
Have you ever felt muted
Like you cannot speak
but not because you can't
but because you can't
because others won't let you
because what you speak
is not what they want to hear
rather what they fear
to admit.
This is you, isn't it.
Have you ever felt broken
like a thousand pieces worth
but not because you fell
but because you fell
in love
with a broken heart
ten thousand pieces of which
you could not fix
This is I , isn't it.
Would you feel ignored
if seen as ignorant
but not because you are ignorant
but because of ignorance
being seen
as bliss-
full
of solitude
of this you have felt, haven't you.
The feeling when
you leave people
at home
but not because you are going out
but because you are leaving
for long.
have you ever felt distance
between your right
and wrong,
between your heart
and mind,
science
and
soul
This is us, isn't it.
You would think
that a call for attention
would become silent
after a sign
of affection,
one should think, shouldn't they.






and of this, what do you think ?

One Thought, Two Thoughts, Red Thought, New Thoughts.

I want a new mind.
Prepackaged and sold on sale.
Mass produced.
I want new thoughts.
one dimensional and full of color.
Easily Amused.
Tell the muscles around my eyes to relax.
Those around my mouth to contract.
The tension around my heart to ease.
Please.
A new space for storage.
Recycle my memory with more courage.
For something else.
Because what my mind has flipped upright
through the tunnel that are my eyes
is not what I want to remember this by.
This journey so far.
Coated by layers of guilt.
Where can I place this damn blame.
Of others for their actions and non actions and words.
My mind's playing tricks again.
I tried to reboot.
But the only thoughts that were erased
were the ones I wanted to hold on to.
Restart
Retry
Re-this
Re-that.
I can't change what is in the past.
This I am sure of.
But I can change tomorrow, or at least how its perceived.
A brand new, mass produced mind is the key.

Final thoughts ?

We all have one thing in common; we want to fix you.
For you are more broken than any fine porcelain we have ever seen.
And in a world that has been prescribed perfection, we find an artistic value in you, a form of refuge, which we blindly mistake for love.
- Isabelle

illuminate my loneliness

I will rest in solitude.
And like the moon
I will find comfort knowing that I illuminate your nights to help find the one
you truly belong to.
The distance between us gives rise to the tides of passion of which I can only be a witness of.
I have been cursed by the sun
I have been blessed by the stars
All this in my solitude.
I am a shield and a sword in this battle of love.
You are the soldier who's heart fights for heart
soul for soul
eternity forever with a true love...
All this in my solitude
A result of which gives hope to you.
Hope of a new start, far from me.
Well my love your wish came true.
Here I am, and there are you.
I sit in a throne of stars,
you rest in another's arms.
All this in my solitude.
