Home is where the heart is
In the shadows where it's a safe place to be
A citadel to lay siege

I want love
I want freedom,
and not much to depend on
but I need the truth.

Pain is everywhere.
Like the air we breath,
it escorts us all to the great beyond.
Sometimes it is frank and suffocating;
and mostly it is the truth.

Unable to beguile with your paraded facade.
A ruthless queen after allegiance.
Sheathed swords are drawn, and
may the odds be in your favor.

The switch snaps, the lighter clicks.
A serene blue flame sprouts endlessly Forfeiting our dignity to instant gratification.

Cheer up people do care,
just not as much as they do for themselves.
So don't be mad at yourself.

Crucified minorities, making their way.
Weapons of the majority, an audience for its needs.
Man stands on his choice and stumbles by it.

Taught to be perfect, I hide myself.
Imperfections, the gifts of improvement
Improvement, a struggle to perfection
A journey beyond time,
A path deemed for the Gods.
Where acceptance is the key,
to stand among the Gods.
Even if its only for a while.

I care too much about what you think of me,
yet you are a mess yourself.
Now tell me who is going to save who.

Ejecting with all passion of a gushing river
The rage of the heart against the soul
A lot of willpower, self control and practise
In making the way home, in the best way known
Indulging necessities to not gratify animal passion

My greatest sin was robbing you of responsibility,
Depriving you of pain.
Of always intruding the consequences of your sins.
Whenever we judge, we will be judged.
So I had to step back and watch you be your own hero.
That was love's greatest gift.

It is not the best days,
nor the worst ones.
Only those that slipped away,
hopefully waiting.
Eating away at time

Living in the middle of the crowd.
A thin line between love and hate
An island in the open sea.

Shaken and cracked.
Tumbling to persistent waves.
Built walls thick and high.

In a world silent and familiar.
Heaviness left, gravity let go.
Afloat and above it all.

A woman who always gets her way.
Never scared of the dark,
you pour your youth on the floor.
Cherished and loved by many,
you grab with both hands;
and let yourself go out of reach.
Like a sunflower above corn.

I used to fly high before
Anchored to bruises and scars
We just jump and skimp about.

The burden of heat upon me.
Light flooded eyes, flashing forward.
Lonely and not alone, following the sun to tomorrow.
The shadow kept aloof.

Steaming towel against skin,
Cold shinny metal choking my finger
Salt streams rushing down the fall

Beauty is symmetry, like day and night.
Where everything is done in moderation,
and there's nothing beyond as before.

Transcendence
Adding life to days; not days to life
Neither bending nor breaking
Till it happens to you
Take care

Easy sailing in the breeze
The days are filled with sun
The current slowly taking me there

All you asked of me,
was to be taken somewhere, anywhere;
and all you did was worry about getting there.
Sadly we never got there,
and all I ever wanted,
was pleasure that comes with the pursuit;
not the destination.
Like two strangers on the road to nowhere.

Take and it will be forever yours
Receive and they will strip you naked

Mediocre attention lusting covets, be consoled that nothing will last.
Truth is singular and its versions are mistruths.
Always complaining, Always explaining
A river gushing with all its passion
Action is a common place, right action is not.

Lurking above the storm, lurking beyond the night
Orange to your peeking dawn, orange to your peering dusk.
I'm your sunshine.

Eye in the midst of a hurricane, Anchor to a troubled ship.
Blue to my curious sky, red to my raging passion.
You're my rainbow.

Beyond all the chaos, complementing the blue sky.

Treasure lies idle in these unthreaded paths.
A gift for the long suffering mind, further beyond the fold, the bend.

Make a plan and work your plan
To marry your fan
To be their Liverpool
To never walk alone

I like it when you turn to me and whisper,"I told you not to overdress."
The warm tickling air flooding my ears.
As fine people steal glimpse from their rows, and I turn to you.
Sealing your cherry lips with a kiss.

Desire!
A flame that cannot be extinguished.
Quenched one day at a time,
it's tamed.
And for once not a slave.

A cry for each death and birth
The ocean comes in and out
Everything is exactly the way it is meant to be

Unable to perceive the shape of you.
I find you all around me.
Your presence fills my eyes with light.
It humbles my heart, for you are everywhere.

Looking out to know.
Firm like a tree to grow.
An addict without.
A change of scenery.

Waiting for good things to happen to me
You took my attention without my consent
And now I see you everywhere

A brush of my paint
A splash of yours
The rainbow is good
And the ocean is better
Together we are indifferent
The poised and quiet

My younger sister is dead
She never wore pink or red
Always crawling, walking and running ahead
Intoxicatingly self made
Taking till the very end

The thicket forest fans a cool breeze,
that brushes against the furrows engraved on my face.
The rain pours violently, and the rich aroma rising from the sun baked sand; flouds my nostrils.
The voluptuous coke glass bottle filled to the neck,
Ignites a memory of her only silk dress.

Perennial streams trickle down mother earth's face.
Walls dam the memories, yet they crack at the might of the infite flow.
A freshly picked bouquet of scarlet roses, translates to flashy cheeks and a beautiful smile.
Scared of the lonely void, I sleep in your clothes.
My love, always loved. Flow with the current, towards the blue ocean.
Haunt not my retreat, for your sake and mostly mine.
