I should be one with the moon Tonight, carried by the silver lightning You know, the one you struck me Killing my youth, my yesterday I should be dying with a smile Eyes wide open, accepting the fate Of eternal you Of the late unexpected gift that was you I should be without shadows But in the darkness I am followed Hollowed yet dragging with weight Of the old unworthy me I should not bleed as much When the goddess closed my wounds As she held me up from the battlefield I wanted my last breath with Angels I should not be like this Blissful yet oblivious of the obvious That the footsteps I leave behind are red As I walk away from victory half dead I should not follow the light But I did, and it burns The warmth engulfed me In flames Yet my ashes try to retain as much of me

How to ****** A Budding Happiness
Strip away my heart of all the torment Set this spirit free from imprisonment The sands of time are slowly fading Regret by my side as I lay down watching Every fragment of yesterday burn with time As the cancer keep eating what's left inside I am merely the shell of my former self For years the product of withering health Bound by chains of flowing medicine The air I breathe- borrowed from a machine And when I 'm alone I ask with self pity Since when did movement become a luxury? Now the truth has come before my eyes The reaper is smiling with imminent demise I am ready for death, let me welcome him If my hand can obey, it will be a whim So one last favor before I kiss the mud I beg you please, pull the trigger.. Pull the plug!

Terminal
Challenge him not The winningest opponent He who dares unbend to his will When time comes, shall succumb Awfully and be distraught Though our nature is to avoid, Many believe otherwise Do not break stare, spit on his face This is proposal for duel Adversary: Death Himself! Is it fearless spirit that govern The souls who dared to dare? Or do they fear having not done so? When man meets hell and live to tell Glory is thirst insatiable Saddle up daredevil Ride your bike ablaze Across inferno of steel and stones Never mind your blood and bones Death taunts you once more.

The Undefeated
Drums beating echoed above Feet are shuffling out of love Prayers sent with utmost praise Send us water Lord make haste The heavens pour genrously Tears upon the barren trees Alms for the forsaken wild Come forth, Oh! A newborn child Smiling faces, thirst endure Promised gift of mother nature Sunshine is covered with gloom Clouds dominate the horizon Leaves all dance ecstatically Against the gentle monsoon The thirsting earth be nourished With a downpour of blessings The land embraced them- Glistening crystal rainfall Life rejoiced, rejuvinated The reign of drought has ended Weaving river out of dust Waking greens along its path Lovely to witness all these things The darkened soil, puddling Children being kids outdoors Playful with the drizzling trees Workers ready arm your steeds Farmers gather sow your seeds Cheerful spirits invigorating These are precious times indeed

Dance of the Rainmakers
Another night, my room and I Why are the walls closing in? Am I under the spell or influence Of that miracle drug in my vein? Need no needles, tubes or ember I just injected ink on paper Then flowed the magic medicine Which bred a fiery urge within Fantasies kept secretly deep Mental euphoria slowly creep Outside the boudaries of reality Command my hands to artistry I'm about to make a crime scene Execution of rhymes with rhythm Verses run wildly unstoppable Words of a mad man undeniable. The red webs nesting my iris While I stare the empty white, Kaleidoscoping imagery enigmatic In my mind confused and chaotic Cannot pause for a drink or **** Masterpiece I shall finish this Still in my blood, will always be This lingering lust for poetry.

***** in a Plume
Fingers sinking the foaming blue, Was not the final glimpse of you Staring eternal, darkness consume Making sense yet not immune Sleepless, watched the gaping dawn I knew this feeling yet unknown Turned all to ever nothingness Thoughts descend to meaningless Under the shade of comfort bliss Yesterday and the days amiss Your colors shone, blinding sweetly Like early falling blossomed cherry Lingered essence slowly fading Into the wind while slowly piercing My veins with poison truth, I’m weary Your breath my prisoned sanctuary The bleeding image wounded me While seeping through my sanity Silhouettes now and then interval Of pristine you my dream eternal Final struggle, gasp for air Trembling fingers run your hair I reached for you, unreachable I searched for you, invisible I tried dearly for death instead But tears have drowned you in my head Or so it seemed this very moment A smile amidst the sweetest torment

D.N.R.
I dwell again in these thoughts, That awoken me to a dream: About daylight and darkness And how they cannot be, About the empty and half filled And everything in between Open to possibilities Exempting the impossible ****** me with sweet false hope In a trance of questions Where to whom, what is why? Lust for truth insatiable Be it then, cause nowhere now The bitter sweet liason To believe the passion of belief Betrayal to the mind, unfaithful Placebo of the midnight moon I surrender to reason Tell me spoken silence now For maybe later heard somehow Secrets cannot bleed more lies The honest gleaming in those eyes This is the dream I dread is not These are the thoughts I think of lot

Irony
Fireflies Trapped in the night sky Forever pretty In a mere second Die graciously In that moment of sacrifice- Utmost brilliance.. Fireflies Reflect in your eyes This moment Shared sweet silence As their wings fall So does my heart In your palms glow faintly Fireflies In this garden so dark Hold my hand In this blinding sadness You are my sight Do not flicker Stay with me 'til sunlight.

Fireflies
The sea whispers my name Caressing my face with morning breeze The blue temptress smiling, glimmering Impure thoughts conjured by her beauty Mesmerized by crashing waves I gaze at the tides curious, unquivering How do you embrace the rocky shore? The way tides are welcomed endlessly Suppose on this cliff, my eyes shut tight I approach half-hearted, the edge of reason Will I be overwhelmed by fear of falling Or will loneliness overwhelm fear itself? I want to leave all burdens behind. What treasures are there beneath to find? Peace in the arms of abysmal darkness No pain and suffering in that dream sublime. My mind thirsts for answers And my spirit yearns for rest Urging me to leap for the wonderous deep No more misery in that eternal slumber The wailing wind and weeping clouds Swept me away from that lucid trance I open my eyes, found myself walking away. My last ounce of sanity sighing Not today, not today...

View From a Cliff
Flowers blooming colors glow Greet the morning sun hello Scent of fragrant breeze refreshing Gentle warmth was so inviting. Normal people walking out Busy streets and roundabout Children playing hide and seek Just nother day of the week Silver wings of airplane high Wonder as it cross the sky A tiny object fall beneath What could be this special gift? With no second, a blinding light The sun was humbled of its might Then the houses, trees so tall Crumbled down, began to fall Burning figures, swirling blaze Shadows gone without a trace I lay helpless want to help Deeply wounded found myself Rivers flowing, ****** red Cradle filled with sleeping dead Cherry blossoms fell like tears For motherland with all her fears I still hear those horrid screams The painful sight of broken dreams This picture always kept inside The fateful summer of '45
