A chill ache of fright
I sit here writing tonight
Nothing feels alright
Night is no longer bright

The air seems damp
People crying in their camps
Far away lit are the weak wreckered lamps
Streets overcrowded with empty traffic jams

The night has turned silent
The BANGS! and firings has become violent
The powerful has shown their talent
The leaders abandon with no relent

No rivers flowed in pure
No medicines available to cure
Every epidemic spawn to lure
Death has come upon for sure

Will there be a grave sight?
No one alive to take either flight
Everyone knows the war wasn't right
But weary matters handed in plight

Bloodshed stamped everywhere
Families dismantled from far and near
I myself feel am not getting anywhere
From this graveyard there is no escape to dare

The approach of twilight
The gunning and bombing in daylight
Unpredictable killings and fights
This has dropped the earth from many heights

I see my upcoming death
I feel my stuckup breath
My tears have dried
From so long cries

The world is literally torn
When the evil got born
In its web the humans sown
There is no next dawn

The ground shaking mad
Drowning in the dead
The ink has turn red
I feel the dead wreaths on my bed

Another day left to be
Another trench left to see
Another life left to flee
Another room unlocked with key

All I hear is...
BOOM!!!BOOM!!BOOM!!!
Outside my wretched room
The earth, the humans, the livings, here comes our DOOM!!!
BOOM!!!
Alas!!!

Some measure love as depth of an ocean,
Then realise it's nothing worth a motion,
Some measure love as the height of the sky,
Then realise it's nothing worth a meaningless cry,
Some praise love as a significant of godliness,
Then realise it's nothing but a mock of loneliness,
Some say love is pure to heart,
Then realise it's just another type of art,
Some believe love is powerful then money,
Then realise without it there is no honey,
Some say love happens at first sight,
Then realise it was not absolutely right,
Some say love is blind,
Then only realise when they fall and unwind,
Love has become a joke for most,
Hunting its prey on online post,
When will the real feel come,
When will people stop acting like dumb,
When will my heart linger to love you,
For your love to me is almost due...

In the rain,
You boarded the train,
So many stuffs clouding your brain,

I could see the tension rising on your face,
One could tell the wrinkles by trace,

Silently I speak seeing you seated in front of me,
You gazed my way but pretended not to see,

What could be the reason behind your sadness?
Looking away I drown in my own madness,

We have been traveling together for few years,
Yet none had guts to talk cause of our fears,

As we reached the destination, I saw you leave,
I watched you from behind, touched your sleeve
You never responded, that made my heart grieve,

I left the cabin last, noticing a business card,
Flipped it up, I saw scribbled "life is hard"
As I reached my office, I dialed the number on the card,
A sad voice answered, sorry this call is barred,

I called again, this time, I spoke first,
Hi, am Sim, we travel in same train everyday,
Saw you sad, couldn't help calling you today,

I hope I could help if only you could talk,
Lets meet at the coffee shop down the block,

I saw you seated at the usual place,
"Black coffee please"!, I ordered in pace,

He looked relaxed, as our conversation started,
All this while he was thinking of me, which startled,

Things got smooth after a long walk,
With coffee in hand and him with his talk...

Sitting out on the porch,
Watching the **** cockroach,
Flying from wall to wall,
Oh! I've just seen it fall,
Now running on the floor,
It neared the main door,
With a blink of an eye it disappeared in the dark,
Not long I saw a shadow mark,
And that of a tree gecko leaping from the side wall,
Flew in the cockroach from the tree tall,
I saw the gecko aiming at its prey,
Moving slowly camouflaging itself as grey,
The roach froze and Bingo! the gecko caught its prey...
