When life gives you lemons
You make lemonade
But taste sour it will
If you don't have the sugar.
And then there are those who like it sour

He'll
Jithin manoj Jul 2020
He'll wield his arms and dwell
Over the bodies of his brethren
Until his breath runs out
Oh he'll, he'll build hell.

Graveyard of Promises
Jithin manoj Apr 2020
Those half-meant words with strings
Attached to a world so bright
The blinding blaze broke
The binds I had with earth.

World turned upside-down, it seemed
Now the sky attainable, eyes cloudy
Surfing towards the sun
To be burned down to earth, again.

Back to being normal, it seemed
Yet five feet down below the ground
Mouths above whispering to be brave
Even when I had dug my own grave.

Lying on the tear-soaked bed
My eyes gave in and closed
On a world I never left
Amongst the graveyard of promises.
Please leave some feedback. Be cruel.

A thousand years back in time,
It was greener than ever.
A legion of evergreen trees
and outgrown ting bushes.
A family of chirruping birds
to violent hungry beasts.
All in serenity as in home.

It was never uncanny
But it is now.

At present it is
only a land in dreams.
No less than hell it is
A place devoid of peace
with dead trees in piece.
A land of ever lost hope
as all animal lost their home.

In future darker it would be
and who did this - We!
It's time to choose - redeem or repent.

THE WAVES OF LIFE
Jithin manoj May 2019
Waves of the ocean
show us life
how it has been
and how it will rife.

Waves are like feelings
you cannot stop its coming
there is nothing you can do
but learn surfing.

Waves are like the choices
one makes in life
choose one, or
wait for the other.

Life like waves is all about
the rise and fall
never stop flowing
till you reach land.

NUMB
Jithin manoj May 2019
I wish,
I could cry it all out
let the tears roll

Ironical as it seems
I felt everything ,
The sadness in the eyes.
The happiness in the smile.
The affection of the arms.
Everything.

Yet I have nothing  
The sadness in my eyes
nor fear.
The happiness in my smile
nor disgust.
The affection of the arms
nor anger.
Nothing.

Like sponge,
Easy to slice and slash
and simply burn to ash

And I know
it is I
barely alive
Numb.

— The End —
