  • Unbroken Shadows

    Unbroken Shadows

    With a Broken heart, An unbroken shadow, and – Spirit falling deep into the abyss He looked again at the setting sun That carried his shadow away from him Into the night’s unfriendly hands He let himself fall unattended And in the bright neon lights He covered his face and cried Looking up at the starry skies He called out her name once again Stillborn echoes mocked at him He knew he could wait till dawn comes Bringing with it [...]

  • Pull Me Back Will You?

    Pull Me Back Will You?

    Pull me back will you? The world is pushing me It does not heed my cry To stand still and watch Pull me back will you? It is unknowns ahead I prefer the known Unknowns give me shivers Pull me back will you? I see me alone ahead Those I love and those I hate Are behind as I moved on Please pull me back will you? There is nothing ahead All that meant anything Are left far behind Pull [...]

    Bitch, Don’t Stare

    Bitch, Don’t Stare My girl hates to share; Be Aware Bitch, Don’t Stare Keep off your snare Don’t even dare I Swear Bitch, Don’t Stare Sitting on that side chair With your salacious glare Go elsewhere Bitch, Don’t Stare Extramarital affair It is not fair It’s damage with no repair So Bitch, Don’t Stare You wanna Compare? My girl is like a prayer And sorry but you are a despair You still wanna Compare? Bitch, Don’t Stare Dreams up in [...]

  • Happy Birthday Usha!

    Happy Birthday Usha!

    There are times when words cannot do justice to what you wish to convey, often it is when you need to write about someone dear to you. What prose can’t do justice to sometimes poetry can. As a cold winter knocks at the door When the breeze gently brushes my face As I button up and walk out in the rain And a million drops fall on me I look up and say, ‘Wow’ When I see you every morning [...]

  • Moments that make me

    Moments that make me

    I live for love and the love for life In simple moments I live and love Moments that connect me with you Holding me up when I am down And reaching to me when you need me Walking with me when I am alone And hugging me tight when you are scared Slowing with me in a world running fast And joining me as we chase our dreams Picking me up when I have fallen And falling on me when [...]

  • Unwanted

    Unwanted

    In front of the butcher’s shop lured by the smell of fresh meat looking at bloody carcass hanging Desire blinded in Hunger He stands waiting Mid Night in front of the filthy tavern As drunken heads with shrunken eyes – Struggle inside with their tandoori and kabob Faithful in Anticipation He awaits the leftover In front of the illegal brothels Where innocent powerless bodies are sold As the weakest and worthless prove their might Forced into Ferocity He guards the [...]

  • What to do at night

    What to do at night

    As the last ray of sun leaves the earth Behind it should go all stress of the day As you hold the night like a baby in your hand And watch it grow through the cocktail glass You should be Immersed in the music of love Then light a candle and let it burn As the world slowly dips in the dark You should see her face glow on you Take a sip from her glass And give her a [...]

  • Life Time

    Life Time

    Feeling life as it moves in time; You sense that there is no real urgency; Nevertheless it increases its speed Missing a few things worth an attention Sometimes it also slows down Feels like it is a stand still Life slower than the time Its texture also seem to vary Soft, abrasive, glittering, pale, hard, colorful It also unexpectedly intersects something Changes its course and again continues It seems not worried of what lies ahead But is always cautious of [...]

  • A Bubble a Day

    A Bubble a Day

    Troubles are like bubbles They sure have to break If one breaks away A new one blows your way But they sure go away Troubles are like bubbles They can never stay They have to break away Like bubbles break away Troubles lose their way Live a bubble a day

  • Old Wounds

    Old Wounds

    Today, break open all old wounds Beckon blood from your past Let it flow freely and drip again As old wounds slowly turn fresh Experience old pains with a new mind Open up and embrace the present Reconcile with heart aches of yesterday Tomorrow will bring you a clean past Free from revenge, fear, envy and loss
