An overflow of salty tears remains,
in hearts that covet love unrestrained;
The faded colors blanched and undefined,
with no more reasons left or undermined.

In quiet rooms that tell the tales beyond,
a world renowned for catastrophic bond;
Rises up and quells the cursed interference,
dismissing painful shadows in adherence.

The awesome glow of firelight brings pause,
to secrets gleaned from past events and cause;
No other sights diminished in the sphere,
dividing worlds of comfort far and near.

In due time these secrets have their way,
of revealing angry voices gone astray;
Yet wonders of the starlit sky commence,
in carrying missives in profound repentance.

Hard Times
Difficult times come to refine and clean
All dirt and garbage go down to the drain
Absurdity to reality can easily be seen
It is but blessing and merciful drops of rain
God is great who takes care in surival
Whatever obstacles come are encountered
Pure intention takes shape of an angel
Serenity goes to fulfill mission word by word
Let the take all odds with a tinge of smile
Let us be more humble to win ever war in life
Absurdities of life we have to forget for a while
Even if we are cut by a double edged knife
Character is the virtue of but real hard times
Which bring solidarity between heart and mind
Soul touches with eternal Soul and sublimes
Hence combined effort blends to make but bind
