Regret and the grave

Frozen in disbelief, embracing waves of despair. I try to reach, through this breach. I whine, I complain. An Impossible balance. I have to maintain. While you write me off with such disdain. I try to adjust, my efforts to move. I struggle, I fall, and then I break. To no avail, my attempts fail....

Concealing Fate

A question not of if but of when I remember laughing it off back then. On a mission and safely hidden This warrior within has been beaten. Too much of it getting harder to hold. On a warmer side, but it feels so cold. A friend who would not let this hide, For the rest...

Of hopes & February II

They say "give it to time, everything shall heal." Upheavel, my dead wish, deep resentment to that feel. For too long I've been following the wise. On a false hope, one fine day my sun shall rise. The sin of a misplaced hope, everything's so deceiving. Check my pulse, check my signs, would you consider...

Cursed

Our ways go separate They cross like vines. Been craving for something Which couldn't be mine. The story ends, days and months old Cannot revive, the life you stole. Love the pain, torments my soul My big heart with a bigger hole. Love from the will of iron I forged Reimbursed by suffering, sadness overdosed...

The calm before the storm

With my hand in your hand, for our promise land, those promises were kept. Over the courses of our lives, I was getting low, you were getting high, one fine day, you simply left. So here I am, I feel you, I feel your pain. I shall remember you and your name. I see you...

Of hopes & February

Taste your vanity underneath my sky Drown my promiseland, with an easy lie. Walk with me, to a place you've never been. My days spent repenting, double my sin. Was it you or was it the fate's design?  An easy target I was meant to be blind. A Pandora's box for my find. For my...

Scenes from a purple evening

Early summer evening, on my way home, rows of jacaranda tree. A splendid sight to set this troubled child free. She stands still, she dreams of her journeys to embark. She's then greeted from the sky, from the street, and her admirers from the park. She responds to all her greeters, she waves her branches,...

Earthshine

Life right now so much fun Come, catch up with me in this run. Stay with me for all my turns A beautiful sunrise awaits my dawn. Gentle winds, guide me please Flying high, my thirst for bliss. Blown away, such gentle kiss Harbored I am from the devil’s reach. Life by now you know...

A sad routine

  You can’t help yourself sometimes  So you take cover of these lines  Not that you want others to read.  You’re too occupied by this overwhelming shit. A little less and sometimes a bit more, A new day but you can hardly ignore.  Tears storm with a violent​ roar, Recollecting everything you had before.  Seized by...

INCEPTION

    Dark was her heart but now I see her color Despite her warnings, I've fallen for her. This calling. I find it hard to ignore This tempting heart asks for more. Her beauty I try to defend To be taken by some other in the end. A journey of a hundred mile A...

Time for a change

  I never thought of this thought, which now no longer is only a thought. A thought of that soul, once loved a lot. Soul that left me behind to rot. From my life I’d have its existence cut. A vow, And I shall never forget, So I started nourishing​ this hate. When you had...

Written off

    You read, you write, you fail to connect, I am the chapter you erased. No meaning to these blank spaces, for a character comfortably depressed. You brought colors of black and white. The story continues without my sight. My existence down to rock bottom. I’ve been wanting to feel but I’m numb. A part of...

A cat out of the frame

    Jan 03, 2018 On a cold January night 11 o’ clock from my work, I reached home. The main gate, its always open because I work night shift. I reached for the door, knocked it. I don’t like ringing bells in the night as it disrupts the peace. The dogs next door are...

Winter

  Trying to forget you, And our love that grew. While my memory so fresh. The smell of you, your black dress. With your hand, that summer rain A clear invitation for my pain. That golden moment, where I was blessed This dark side, who could have guessed? You’re that song, where I lost my...

Promises kept

  Cover Image Credit: One HD Wallpaper It is when you come to my sight, A mix of feelings inside me collide. So, I try moving myself left when it takes right. This is exactly how I run and hide. It ruptures me open, but I embrace myself avoiding the bad. I often find myself venturing into...

Ember

    I'll sell the truth, are you willing to buy? What you have there is a beautiful lie. Take a moment, look into my eyes. You heard my call but you did not rise.  Then you took, this word retire, That stormy day, I stood tall with my fire. For now nothing's left but...
