In May
The forest
Erupts
In aromas
"Did you miss me?"
It teases.

The mountain
Peaks
Denuded
Of white shawls
Flirt
With the sun.

My body
Subsists
Efficiently
On fruit,
Nuts,
And clear, cool melt
In May.
Written on top of a mountain, like you do.
God
God is Japanese.
That is why people say
'for God's sake.'

God is also, doubtless, a male.
If he were a she, the world
would be a much better place.

He has got many faces.
He is a kamikaze
who has killed and died
twenty trillion times.

He is a sadist samurai
who will get you into fights
in which you will have
no chance to survive.

Oh dear misery
You lovely soldier
Break my bones
Make me feel some closure

Dear misery
Take a hold of my hand
Lead my way to the land
The land of darkness and filth

Dear misery
I know what u have planned
And i will obey
In the darkness i will always stay

looking in the mirror he thought
when he wore his checkered suit
he resembled an unfinished skyscraper.

after the disastrous meeting on the 61st floor
he skipped the elevator
and took the stairs all the way down
until he was huffing and puffing his way
onto the sidewalk.

he took off his gray checkered jacket
and let the rain sculpt his brow
and carve through his fingers.

thoughts grew lighter
with each slash of watery wind across his cheeks.

soaked on the curb,
he knew he must seem pathetic
to the sinking eyes of passersby,
but he was calm.

content to be
a soul

under construction.

When I see the stars,
They remind me of you.
Their number tells me how,
How I loved you.

The moon I see at sky,
When sky looks so blue.
It's shine tells me how,
How I loved you.

When those birds chirped,
With love but no hew.
Their chant tells me how,
How I loved you.

Weeds had their charm,
When on them lillies grew.
Their beauty tells me how,
How I loved you.

My heart ran fast,
When it knew.
That my soul told,
how I LOVED YOU!!!....

A cosmic explosion of lies and hope,
a whirlwind void of dreams and scorn,
futile drags and optimistic pulling
A wish fulfilled is a wish no more.

Burning bright like the stars
by the time it touched ground it was lost
Swept away like unwanted replies.
Hand on heart a bluff no more.

Twinkling like tears from giants,
Sorrowful in meaning but powerful in intent
To look at it full on is the same to ignore it in hindsight,
orbiting the entirety.
A solitary solider or popular guardian angel

Forget my existence
For I am not me
Not who I use to be
Forget who I was
For that person is lost
Forget my existence
As I’m not who you want me to be
Forget my existence
As it’s no longer me

Your life is upside down
When you are the peaceful satin
You stay at home and lock your door
But in the end you are mistaken ?
It becomes part of your life routine
To be outcasted , despited and disgusted
You don’t know what u did
And they can’t tell you
because non deeds can’t  be busted
When u meet new people they take aside
And when u meet your people they kick you outside
When you are the peaceful satin
You do the goods
You care, love and give
But your intentions are misunderstood?
When you want to fit in you are neglected
And when you want to fall in love you are rejected
Asif god has cursed you with the non-appealing syndrome.
When you are the peaceful satin
You are witnessed as the heir of the devil on earth
As a plague that is going to burst
As a friend that becomes your worst….. enemy
When you are the peaceful satin
Are you really a satin?
Or do they want to u to feel like one?
So sticks and stones can finally break you
I am not saying I am saint, or pure as an angel
I make mistakes and I make sins that only god can forgive
But what I am sure of ,  that I never meant to hurt a soul
But many souls have meant to hurt my pride, dignity and more .
Beyond the furthest hills I gaze
Stuck behind the misty haze
Hoping for things I will not touch or see
If I could I would skip this phase
Struggling even to get a salary raise
A feeling that cannot be described by any phrase
Yet I am here, stuck without you

Is there any sweet scent from a rose?
Are there twelve months in a year?
Does the week begin on Sunday?
Does the sun rise in the east and set in the west?
Are there twenty-four hours in a day?
Because I am still caught in that moment
Yes it is a confused confusion

How does my heart beat without you?
Your foot-steps are the rhyme to my melody
The sweet love song now so sour
I stretch my hands and try to reach out
I feel like giving in as the tips of our fingers only touch
My heart killed by the comfort of time
I am so breathless

Here without you my love, my heart
Far apart like the east from the west
Swelling tides bring nothing but nostalgia
The words ‘I love you’ are now a stranger so familiar
You have no address because your home is my heart
The angel of my destiny
The only shining star in my world

When are you coming back home?
So we can build our family day by day like Rome
Without you life is a mere emptiness
I feel like a vagabond in my own world
Here without you is a rhythmless song
Without you, life is a confused confusion
Just like the swallows remember home

My mind is so full of you
Without you I am like a plane without a pilot
A singer with no voice
Please come back home
I am the king and you are the queen
I am a lone pole in the midst of the dessert
Stuck without you

I am waiting for the phone to ring
The cork to crow
The emerald dove to coo
The light knocking on the door
And maybe someday say I do
Come back and rejuvenate my life
Because life without you is not life

Remember the day we met
The first hug and kiss
How slow time travelled when we were apart
Jumping parapets just to see you pass bye
I miss those days so old
It is not a black mail of some sort or psychology
The truth is I am lost without you
