Don't, Just don't

Don't stand so close to me
such that my breath and yours combine
i may get accustomed to your fragrance
and hostage myself by your presence

Don't stand so close to me
such that views from afar are blocked
and in my arms you get yourself locked
i don't want no options, gotta have my own clock

Don't stand so close to me
such that i become you and you become me
we may build a fence just for the two of us
and everyone else will be banished to dust

Don't stand so close to me
such that our dreams morph into one
Self aspirations will be all but gone
What remains is the interlocking seams of interdependency

Don't stand so close to me
such that you will remain yourself yourself
Life is but an adventure in itself
Love I long for and not bounded chains

ALTERNATIVE ENDING


NOTWITHSTANDING WHAT I SAID:

Don't stand so close to me
such that you may preserve your freedom
I may lock and crown you my Queen in my kingdom
and nurture you there for eternity

Dark Knight

Sophisticated cryptology cut through
the sepia photograph of my memory
whence buried my inconsolable grief
in an air-tight Walkman of my subconscious

Amid the glitters of superficial facade
beneath lurks the melancholy box
housing the psychedelic fractures of alternate reality
subverting a plethora of calming actuality

Seething rage reserved for no one
but still a rage nonetheless
angst drifting like a wave
yes, i'm angry but don't know why

Sentenced to serve this dilemma
Jailed by a listless, tortured soul
Smiley floating above the seabed of scowl
I am my own anathema
