this morning i watched
a cigarette drop from
the pocket of a man
onto the floor of the
train. it rained earlier
and bits of dew and
dirt drained into the
cracks, but there lay
the cigarette intact.
i could have reached
for this man and told
him how he misplaced
the nail to his coffin,
yet i said nothing and
let him off coughing.

The best silence is the woosh
of wind through trees

I am not a
perfect being.*
Flaws,
and imperfections
weave the
canvas of
my skin.
The scars that
mark my body,
tell a story of
where I've been,
who I've loved,
and who's loved
me in return.
~ For me ~
Sitting alone
And pondering deep thoughts
Blatantly staring at the wall
She feels so lost
She put her trust in you
But, there was no love in your heart
Nothing but pain and abuse
Right from the very start
There I Sat
There I sat with all my pains
tears do fall like rain
words of anger comes my way
like rush of thunder ,

Oh, how my heart hungers for peace
this voice that I do hear
stands so near giving fear
murky sky
rolling darkness to the eyes
Oh, how it makes me cry ,

I know Dark Angel
thinks he is bold
that he knows all that I see
Oh, please
all he knows is darken dreams
that he brings to me,

There I sat holding the key
but he don't know this yet
I cried ! then I laugh
but then I hold all I know back
because things are moving to fast .

Whither winter holding haste
to a darken place
waves of time crossed my mind
waves of the sea
holds a life to me
into darken dreams .

The hot air blows me dry
even the sweat disappears,
to be cool how hard I try
but the fire seems to reappear
When nature is throwing heat waves like tantrums,

Is it cool to be hot-headed in this blazing summer ?

Scratching for quite some time
on this blank white page,
my emotions flow
shine and glow
till the emptiness
imbibes my thoughts
like raindrops after a **drought.
I love fountain ink pens :)

Up from the sky you fell
which made me happy or sad
the truth is what no one can tell

I wanted diamonds from a well
upon digging did I get a better life
the truth is what no one can tell

Expectations as bait rings a bell
is my deed indeed the hidden treasure
the truth is what no one can tell.
Just a thought ... cheers !
