  • I wish Today

    I wish Today That the skies be filled with birds Flying over the clouds As empty broken cages Wait to be thrown away I wish I wish Today That classrooms be filled Instead of prison cells That the rains fill up the wells Where thirsty lips hit the dust I wish I wish Today That battles are won by both sides Before the first bullet is fired And the world I live wakes up from the shackles of agony, I [...]

  • Keep Going

    Keep Going

    They want you to stop and mute But you should scream and shout You should sing and dance Let them hear and see you They will be amazed by who you are They would try to pull you down But you should rise above them See a tomorrow that is beyond them Make a difference and they will follow And thank you tomorrow They want you to stop writing But you should keep going Write till the pen runs out [...]

  • 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 [...]

  • 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 [...]

  • 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….

  • 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….

  • 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 [...]

  • Fragments

    Fragments

    In time I leave fragments of me In time I live only fragments of me In anger, dies fragments of me Memories, they bring back fragments of me In hate I always loose fragments of me, And Love tries hard holding together fragments of me I was born as a whole and fragmented in time I am fragmented by being who I am I can whole back only by being who I am
