The Never Dying Leaf

By: Serge Jerkezian

Poem “Forever”

Forever

Everybody is lonely
Everybody is sad
Everybody is lost
Everybody is searching
Searching for something
Anything
A place to call home
A place to be happy in
A reason to be happy
A reason to be

Stop searching I tell you

Everything you need is inside of you
Don’t go to the forest
Stand your ground
Look into the mirror
What do you see?
That’s not you
You are far more
A flesh is a place where souls sleep
It’s not the soul

Why do you look to the things

That you don’t have?
Look and see the great things
That u already have
A body , a mind , a soul …
Have you forgot ?
Be happy
With what you got
If you have nothing
Make a joke about it
Don’t let the disease
Take control and play you
Pride
Steals your peace
Self pity
Steals your happiness
Greed
Steals yourself from you
Fear
Steals your future

Life is hard
Cause it’s a battle
Grab nothing as a weapon
Grab God as a shield
Don’t fight back
Take it all to the
Inside
Steal every pain
And give nothing
Back

Don’t get use to

The trees , the sun , your family , your life …
Enjoy there presence everyday
And every time
You are sick
Because you want to
Courage ,decide to be free
Free from your body
Free as forever
And more

Be happy
Enjoy one thing
Enjoy it all
Poem “ The World”

The World

Stupid subjects
Silly rhymes
Faceless peoples
Rule the grounds

Temptation of fire
Wrong desire
Are you the driver ?
Or the tier ?

Girls are like ” Look at Me”

Men are like ” Look how silly I can Be”
Are you who they want you to be ?
Or are you free?

This great beauty , the ocean and the land

It’s amazing how the mountain stand
And they ask for the proof of God
Are you blind?
Or can you see the sand ?

Poem “ Fools of My Kind”

Fools Of My Kind

The smile on you

Cant trick me
I know you all
With my eyes behind my back
Empty world
Empty people
Empty souls
Animals of my kind
Shame!

Burn in the Fire

That doesn’t exist
Suffer in the landless
Of Grief
Of forever existence
Creatures of Materials
Creatures of Lust
Creature of Greed
Vanish!

Poem “ The Shadow in Me”

The Shadow in Me

My shadow
My other self ,
Helped me thinking
Gave me reasons and answers
Walked beside me
For many years
He gave that dark light
Inside me
That I hate

I have studied my shadow

I know his tricks and lies
For many years I have been
On the prowl
Waiting for that special moment
To strike
The time has come
For you to go away
Now is the time

Our Roads diverge

From here on
Am sorry
But I have to kill you
No other way
To get rid of my shadow
I have to stay
You have to go

So keep your lies

That I know by now
Don’t talk or say anything back
I didn’t ask you
This is how it will go
I shall shoot you
And you will drop dead
And I shale live alone
Free at last

Poem “ Breaking Hope “

My blind people
My foolish kind
What has become of you ?

My greedy people
My self centered kind
What has become of you ?

My deaf people
My voiceless kind
What has become of you ?

My senseless people
My void kind
What has become of you ?

My shallow people
My empty kind
What has become of you ?

My stupid people
My brainless kind
What has become of you ?

My hopeless people
My hopeless kind
I lost hope
Poem “ Broken”

Broken

I never thought I would hurt so much

And not bleed

An endless pain suffocating

Not a drop of blood

A broken heart
Never heals

With no wings
What good is an angel?

How does the world expect me to fly

When my wings are taken away

Like a thirsty child , crying

Nothing can make him stop but water

Give him all the food in the world

Give him all the money in the world

Nothing will do
Only water will turn cry into silence

Like a wrong tattoo on the arm

That will forever do harm

A world full of sorrow and lost dreams

All for me, only me

So in this dark place I stand and wonder

What good is it to be wise

What good are all the lessons

I have learned

I fade into the dark

With my broken heart
Please come
And Take me

Away!

Poem “ Love 1”

Love1

What if I loved you more than words to describe

Would it make any difference

What if I told you, you are my all

Without u will never be whole

What if I told you your eyes makes the world stop

Will you keep looking at me

What if I said please stay

Never go away

What if I want to be with you till the morning light

Will you hold my hand

What if I just want to look at you

Till my eyes die on me

What if I wish that when I die

I want you to be beside me

So let the water turn into sand

Let the sky cry on me

Let my face rain on me

I will forever hope that the rainbow

Will call me
Poem “ Love 2 “

Love2

I don’t have a lot of money

I don’t own the newest car

I don’t have the perfect body

I don’t have the smartest mind

But

I do love you
With every weak bone in my body

With every dollar that

I never owned

I just want to sit beside you

I really don’t want to talk

About anything in this world

I just want to hold you

In my arms
I don’t want to kiss you

Either

I just want to close my eyes

Feel our souls holding each other

In a world where nobody understands

My soul is in love with yours

I don’t want to take you to my apartment

Let our love stay pure and free

Let this passion drive us to each other

Let us not kill it by sex

I want to feel this way forever

I don’t seek anything else
So here I’m all flesh
Blood and weakness

But I love you so dam much

Poem “ Love 3 “

Love 3

An endless beautiful face

Sleeps in my heart without a trace
Infinite in mystery
Surfing the waters with no history
Peaceful like a warrior with no blood
Pure like the world after the Great Flood

Love is a force
You can’t control
It’s like riding a crazy horse
A day in the sunshine, A day in a whole
Like a pain with no source
Like seeking your soul

Beautiful girl come to me

Let me show you this beautiful world
While I hold your arm

Beautiful girl come to me

Take my hand
I will never let you fall

Beautiful girl come to me

Follow my hand blindly
You be sure I seek your happiness

Beautiful girl come to me

Let us walk on this bad road
Trust me it will become better
Beautiful girl I come to you
I tell you how I feel
I never understood how could you

Go away

Poem “Beyond “

Beyond thousands of years

Of myth and lies
I lie confused in a world
That doesn’t make sense

So I go beyond our logic

Seeking answers that where
Once buried
And others, never discovered

So I sail on the
Endless sea of mysteries
Where nothing is what it seems
Where land never existed
Nor will it ever

I drop anchor from time to time

Just to remember
That I’m in motion
And once the motion stops
It means I still am existing

Where look and emotions are deceiving

I’m not deceived
Once you know the truth
Looks are the least that matter

Sadly as we grow
We are taught everything wrong
This world is really a bad teacher to learn from
And if not questioned
Are slave for that teacher

Everybody learn
For the simple reason
Nobody wants to be alone
So we sell ourselves
Not to be lonely

They make us fear the unknown

And to never question them
So our thoughts become bounded
By their teachings

As we become more
Dependent on them
We become a slave
Of these things they call society and the world

So we seek relationships
To fill the void we feel inside
A reason to live for
And a goal to look forward too

So we do everything in our power

To attract the other gender
Whether it’s acting stupid
Or talking about subjects we don’t care about

So we loose our identity

As we try to impress
As we get more attention
We seek it more

An endless spiral of self destruction

Poem “ The Generation “

The Generation

A new generation of slaves

With their fancy dress

Slaves with white colors

With a black heart

A generation of blind fools

Who judge with there eyes

Prisoners of themselves
A verdict by themselves

A generation with no freedom of mind

Nor freedom of spirit

Walking but not thinking

Falling but not questioning

Driven by animalistic instinct

Pushed by society

Dreaming of pointless dreams

For they are too bounded to even dream

How did the soul

Come to dwell in such poverty

Fear not to be invaded by robots

That already happened

Robotic people
Going to work everyday

Taking the same train

Eating the same food

To buy shit
They don’t need
Poem “ Letter To The World “

Letter To The World

Dear people of earth ;

My sincere apologize ;
I know I have been immature ;
But no more ;

I may have wasted so many years of my life ;

Feeling sad for myself ;
Feeling empty inside ;
Feeling , not feeling really ;

Whatever I felt in those days ;

Whether I was happy or sad ;
Relative to time it didn’t matter ;
Relative to the present it made all the difference ;

Happiness isn’t about owning or having anything;

Happiness is about that right state of mind ;
Happiness is about being free from the chains of ;
Society and everything that puts bounds to you;

Whenever you wanted to scream and you didn’t

It means you are bounded ;
Whenever you wanted to do something and you didn’t;
It means you are chained ;

You can and you are everything you want to be ;

Seeking perfection is a waste of precious time ;
Seeking fame or money is the same waste;
Seeking acceptance is even worst ;

You be who you want to be ;

Let nothing or no one stand in your way;
Everybody that stands in your way is against you ;
You just tell them one thing _|_;
If God created me without a purpose ;
I make myself a purpose;
If God created me without a goal;
I make myself a goal ;

Maybe my heart is broken;

But I have no grudge on love;
I decide to love with my broken heart;
Can you stop me?;

Maybe I will never have somebody to hold;

But even then I still have one very important person ;
A person I won’t trade for the world;
I will always have Myself;

Even when I loose everything in life ;

Hope is never fading ;
Hope is myself ;
I’m my forever hope;

So I will end this where I began;

I apologize for every person I have hurt;
I apologize for every person I lied on;
I apologize for every person I wasn’t near when they where down;

I apologize for not being good to myself ;

I apologize for taking so long ;
I apologize ;
I sincerely apologize;
