Behold, my mind!
Freedom is nigh!
The night, demons and hell
fear arising from the sight of the full moon;
The Shame of the sunny hour
face being hidden from friends and neighbours
like a deadly disease to be kept secret;

away from humans like a deadly weapon.


Be still, my mind, be still
Peace comes, when you're quiet
Courage Is born when you find the light
The book of the law will direct your path
Stay with me, my mind, stay with me
don't leave me in pieces
Remain still like an over fed baby
Abide in the grace of the Almighty

Silent to the pains
Enduring the insults
Ignoring the unbearable acts
like we don't have blood flowing through us.

but for how long?
these killings increases our thirst for revenge
these handcuffs increases our fear of death

Who shall we call to fight?
should we wait till the whole race is wiped?

We must take a stand!
we must fight for our right!
Our future they shouldn't decide
Our children shouldn't have this life!

A severe pain
arousing from within
impossible for the
eyes to see;
eating up the soul,
weakening the bones,
poisoning the heart-
slowly, till it beats no more.
A loud scream
out of the lungs
to ease the agony
that dwells within;
but it's no use,
as you can't stop the
dead leaves from falling off
its branches,
or the upper eye lid 
from kissing the lower one; 
thus, you can't fight
nor defeat love when she
comes for you.
One can only pray nd' hope
to find perfect serenity with love
and not to be
broken and shattered
into irreparable pieces
by her painful words and
unpredictable actions

Our father, Our creator
help us in our sufferings
listen to Our cry
forgive our sins
take us from this hell
bring us peace in our soul.

Our Father, Our Creator
hear our Prayers
give us answers great deliverer
don't turn your back on us
keep us safe from our enemies

Our father, Our creator
have mercy upon thy creation
Calm every storm, rescue us
Save our souls from thy wrath

We pray to thee..
Our father, Our Creator
Amen..

I realize now that your love was not meant for me.
I treated you like the top prize.
and acted as if I could’ve paid for a moment of your time.
I missed every shot because I’ve never played.
I’ve never been very fond of carnival games.
There’s not much left to say.
I’ve poured out my heart, and made my mistakes
Only to be left with an empty vessel
Cardiac arrest, it’s time to put this love to rest.
At least I got a participation prize

My chaos and her beauty
A mess, and a bit silly
love knows no boundaries
A riot of emotions,
like colors that don't fit..

My chaos and her beauty
The calamities slowly unfolding
mixtures of two different worlds
our views and perspectives are never aligning
like two different political parties.

my chaos and her beauty
Something weird, something unique
my clumsiness hidden in her perfection
and my apathy overshadowed by her
never ending care.
Just like the world and man
it is a beautiful disaster.
