  • 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

  • Coins

    Coins

    My two sides make me unique Give me the power to decide the fate Some win some lose with every toss For what I am made of For what is inscribed on me People desire me I am precious if I am the only kind They collect and trade me For much more than what I value I travel from hand to hand Bringing a smile where ever I go Leaving a tear whenever I leave There is also a [...]

  • Handover

    Handover

    When the pen goes dry Words fall short Dreams come to a halt Future moves further away Identities defamed The past blends with present Present looses relevance Sanity waits patiently Screams open a tear flood Souls leave the body Body rots Ethics get buried Love wanders on the streets Relationships are orphaned Mind winds itself till it can’t escape Silence breaks the long chatter Life looks at death and both hug The handover of man begins….

  • Mistakes

    Mistakes

    Nothing in the world corrects itself Time is a healer but too pricy It punctures the fabric of life Leaves you healed but incomplete Scars do not remind enough Of the days when the pain was struck They fall hidden in the chaos of life Only realizing when someone points out Banished from your own frame of mind All your Identities lose their battle Get deleted from every frame of reference Till you can be claimed non existent Like a [...]

  • Fear

    Fear

    The light bulbs shine like the night would never end Fearing the sun, the moon has taken the night off The clouds ineffectively hid behind one another The sky remained still to go unnoticed I put my finger close to the switch That lit the neighborhood all night long The decision had to be taken The fear had to be fought and won I put the switch off and closed my eyes Imagined the darkness that filled the place I [...]

  • Devil

    I adore your sense of reasoning That treats the devil to be human The more I see my reflection in you I see the devil die and the human born There might be times when the devil is strong But love has always fought it down Today I am human and I owe to you

  • The Flow

    The Flow

    The flow is definite Question is its direction It could be downstream The norm, the regular No one will notice Nothing will be challenged And nothing will change It can be upstream Dangerous and alone But will be detected Ridiculed, Cautioned, Belittled But change will be certain The flow is never a choice The direction sure is….

  • Fractured

    Fractured

    Tied up in the knots of fate, we are stuck With a veil of Illusion on common sense Trapped in the disgraceful quest for Power We lie awaiting a fractured future If we need a better tomorrow We should be ready to rewrite Every single piece of our fabricated history

  • Falling Man

    Falling Man

    Behind every falling man There are women who hold him But they are often invisible Their existence never fully acknowledged To see her one must have trust in love Trust that unconditional love does exist To the Women in my life My Mom, My Love and Sister

  • Broken Glasses

    Broken Glasses

    Take me away from everything I know For there is no need to know me anymore I won’t crowd the path to the world above The earth beneath needs me much more Don’t yet burn me in the fires above The sand below is making my bed My smiling images will always conceal The hidden pains that no one need know The burden of every single goodwill gesture Will be repaid in full without a bruise and hurt I am [...]
