I am Dead.
If I'm not the problem, there is no solution. Destiny disrupted by rusted liquor lust. Liquidated terror is the soup du jour. Stale coffee exacerbates the problem. Relapse hangs overhead like a grotesque mobile of alcoholic death. There's glitter in their eyes and a bottle of pills in their pocket. Smoking as self care. I want her to carve her love into my clavicle; I'm dangling by a thin gold chain.

They say you're beautiful They say you're the only person they'll ever truly love They say they'd always be there for you Whenever you'd need them the most They say they'd take a bullet And die for you They say they'd climb the highest mountains And sail the endless seas Just to be with you ...Reality Check They say many thing They are deceiving and cunning They are full of lies They only want to take advantage They think you are a nobody And they don't care They are inhumane And they are wrong!

Reality Check
Why do artists **** their arts? Journalists obey corporate bosses. Doctors peddle drugs for status. Lawyers work for robber barons. Bankers' havens for barons' taxes. Kings start wars for hefty profits. Charity's done for the sake of publicity. Vanity today is a thriving industry. Shopping's done with borrowed money. Bankruptcy levels; not seen in history. From hazardous things; profits aplenty. Poisoned wells we leave our progeny. These lunacies have a common cause, To win 'the rat race'; at any **** rate, Even earthly mother, we brutally **** How much is enough, to be content? Pharaoh's wealth was greater than most, But while he drowned, it saved him not. Instead, strive for a righteous life, Bonded to mother, free from desire. For we're not islands, or rats in a race. And when we stand on Judgement Day, Our wealth that day will have no say, Our deeds that day will lead the way.

Strange Times, These are Indeed...
I listen to the sound of the breaking waves Smell the salt tang in the air I watch the graceful seagulls Ride the thermals way up there No sound of human voice, no strident car alarms I sit in natures solitude enraptured by her charms The sea reflects the sinking sun in hues of red and gold I'll never tire of such things though I grow grey and old The first gleam of the evening star appears in the ever growing dark And the golden crescent of the moon begins her journey through the night No words of mine can best describe natures perfect charm This is peace, a perfect peace, tranquillity and calm

Tranquility (reposted)
the first time, touched us, otherwise strangers delving within ourselves our overt close encounters past intimate imitations of love’s labour lost and gained we collide again and again crossing over, crossing under energies focused at the hip flowing through & into one another endlessly we release feathers soaked in each other’s essence

an intimate crossing
I end this dangerous pass time today, No matter how irresistibly I have been caught. Today I'll walk into the paradise I am a murderer today, I have killed my past. Removing the sand, clearing the footsteps, I am coming back to life, Into the warm sun, I too want to be lost.

You're my alphabet
It's the fear of getting hurt The fear of getting lost The fear of haunting in minds The fear of snow and frost The fear of immobilized usher Not showing the seat of pride Where is this love Do turn back the days and time Tears are evanescent Fears are mortal Jealously is contemporary While love is immortal Bite me into the realms of immortality He's not fearful of hunger He's not afraid of sunlight He adores rain and thunder An empty min is a devil's workshop But an empty heart is a broken cover If there is a question of what love is You may ask it to my fearless lover.

Fearless Lover
Here i was, wide awake Looking for my step ahead For if i fell in sinful pit There would be a matter of life and death Fearful drops of vicious water Came towards me as a man of slaughter Breaking my vein, stabbing my heart Looking at me to tear apart But i kept my faith in Almighty Unbelievable for you and me Still as a response to midnight dark Fearfully beating at the pit of my heart. Came the siren answer to me Who are you, whom do you seek? I said, my voice in a hush tone I'm in search of a room, i dont have the key. And again the voice of wisdom rang Putting in me the word-"i can'' Telling me to try my best, Pushing me to pass this test. I sat up taking a new ambition Ready to get rid of this complication But as i stood up, came the thunder Bringing my head down to wonder Neither i had treasure to take Leave silver, diamond or gold crate Not even a leaf that room holds for me So what shall i conquer thee? So i sat back down for ages Passing through all my weak stages Slaving under the ********** of fear Holding back drops of tears I can't do it! i heard myself say Stoping the freedom and running away Though my mind laid on the peaceful heaven Thinking and thinking from day 1-7 All the pleasures of heaven being irresistible Made me more and more feeble Suddenly a thought came to my mind Which turned back the days, turned back the time. Human as i was, greedy as i can be Forgot all the pleasurable treasures waiting for me For heaven was it! heaven was it! Freedom was the throne where i would sit!

Not a matter of thorns

Loneliness is a bane All my life has gone in vain Left behind with solitude Which is my companion till death Come death embrace me in your arms Whisper to me the silent song Take me to the land of eternal love Where i shall be found by the name DEAD POET !
