14/F/Sri Lanka "So close the windows and not hear the wind, but see all wind-stirred." - Robert Frost, "Now Close The Windows"
This riverbed of our joy Was your creation Now deepening like an abyss As I continued to erode it Life's every ripple Has become a tide O, I have flooded you With my mirage of grief Whose existence I deny Yet so lifelike to swallow me; Please, lean towards the light To grow the buds of your virtues For my mirky waters maim you When the currents of my emotions Fling my stone-sharp negativity At your beautiful heart And break it every time; So when my tempest of tears come, Despite our throbbing love Drumming in harmony with our heartbeats' melody Swim. And do not drown with me.

Do Not Drown With Me
The humble scissor Whose slender complexion Slides over imperfect paper edges With her glistening gray blade Shrouded in the fabric of the pencil case I cherished her as a child When the scrapbook was a companion And buds of creativity bloomed in my mind Though she was feared I used her Before neglection As I grew old I used the ruler to tear worksheets When stress orbited my mind And there was no more time To do things at a slower pace Until The crash When I failed to care And my heart drummed with the rhythms of anxiety Or the sombre melody of numbness Life was a neglection So I gave my friend another use To bring joy to my life I befriended her I placed her silver limb in my hand She caressed my palm like no other With unforgettable scratches And the blemishes of red In taut lines As she tore my skin Though the only one torn Was me.

The Cut
Tired Of the Static soul Convinced by Its motto - "I'm Fine" And external progress That riles the whirlwinds Of extreme, intoxicating confusion Though the core of the heart remains Brimming with pools of eternal emptiness The insane animal trapped in its cage of destruction Where reality is the mist of the past's foggy illusions. May the path of life lead to the eternal road of death, A suicide note.

Death Wish
When acrylic drops of dawn Bleed the inky canvas of Night Over the taut horizon Does your vermillion visage ignite As orbit's vain crux Do you flaunt your fiery radiance; Whom around celestial subjects revolve - A monarch reigning in his exuberance; Does your heart burn with ambition As the soul of the passionate adolescent; Do you smile with tangerine-blushed cheeks Tender as the blissful infant; The underestimated seamstress Who weaved threads of Life into Earth's tapestry; The selfless mother for aeons Cradling planets with her mirthful gravity; Are you crimson with envy As prouder torches bask in their glistening decadence; A spirit shrouded in solitude Aloof in the concrete-thick silence; Are you vibrant as Mind's contortions Or a fragment of science Lifeless as Eternity?
