Your life is full of agony
A victim of slanders and hate
Accumulation of grievances
of years being shunned away
from your rightful position on the throne..
Cant blame you though
For your temptation to retaliate
Try to put my feet in your shoes
Cant imagine to be as strong as you
of the voices unheard
of the opportunities rejected
of the freedom denied
of the rights deprived
of the life laughed at
of the mental torture
of all the torments in your heart...
Do Revenge... I am with you
If you fall and fail
I am still here for you
to wipe all your sorrows away..
True Leader

I want to give you everything
without the expectation of anything in return
because that’s just what I want to do
have to do and obliged to do...

Don't send a lorry of durian to my house
Dont give big ang pows in my accounts
I am just happy I have done good deed
To my people, my country, my nation
There is some feeling inside……
I can’t express what it is…….
There is something in my heart to share…..
But I can’t make it to words……
I was good to express it before…..
But now my world is totally blank…..
It’s like a drought land in Indian summer….
The words are scattered here and there…..
I can’t chase them and arrange well….
I need a stream to flow to this drought mind…..
I need some words that can make me calm……
You are there and your words are here….
What else I need…???
Now I can catch my words…..
Now the lights and colors are filled in my mind……

These musings of mine,
to which I spare no time
this poetry
that I do not take seriously
is my secret way to release.
Soon to be forgotten from memory when I
save poem.

It does not matter to me if your mouse doesn't click,
or you do not leave a comment
I am not here for approval,
and I'd still be content.
not expecting to be noticed,
in no delusion of being ablest.
No. I am not being modest.

Yet there is no denying
and it would be lying
to say that when I receive a notification,
It does not fill me with elation,
so this one is a Thank You
to show my appreciation.

All that lies between us now is  distance  and time.

Mountains, of unspoken words, that we futility climb.

This empty space was once filled with all the beautiful things.

It was replaced by a battle field where a lonley echo rings .

You say atleast we have love,  that  the road won't always  be rough.

The more you attempt to fix me, the more I wonder if love is enough.
The years have passed since we first met
and I still miss you.
They are listening to every thought
maybe if I grin no one will notice
notice the pain
breathing slowly to catch one breath that doesn't break
my ribs crumble and my knees shake
For this mess can not be
fixed by words.
Words are what brought me down.
All catching up to me.
Those middle school jokes
that have turned into truth.
I cant even look you in the eye.
Is that what acceptance means.
shh
I just need the world to stop for a second,
So I can knot my brain together.
I've tried so hard to escape reality
Music, running, sleeping
I fear the tears and anger night brings to me
I can't breathe, I can't turn it off
I'm trapped, I'm yelling, but no one is listening
I'm drowning, I'm alone, no one is there
It's pulling me deeper and deeper
I try to swim to the surface, but its got
ahold of me. Won't let go.

How
I always wonder how
with your heartbeat does mine chime
and with you I don't need the sun to shine.

How does a sprinkle of messages from you make my day,
and manage to allay
all fears that threaten to betray.
