When winds at night on windows roar
wax runs out dies candle's flame
you would hear a knock upon door
a familiar voice calling your name.

Don't respond nor open the eyes
the voice is keen over winds' howl
grows it louder its pitches rise
scaring even the brave barn owl.

Pull the blanket up your head
you are safe so long you hide
lie dead quiet not move on bed
with mom asleep by your side.

Between the pause your fears mount
if is a chance to be found out
one two three the calls you count
but count it right leave no doubt.

Three times the voice would call your name
for it has no power to do any more
but move onto where dies a candle's flame
and a child is awake behind closed door.
Inspired from a story I used to hear from mom long long ago when unbelievably I was a child.

If I say that a gorgeous girl like you,
Exists not in the world,
What's just India?
That would be an understatement.

Lucky is the man who gets to see you daily for the rest of his life.

If I say that a raw beauty just like you,
Exists not in the galaxy,
What's just the Earth?
That would be an understatement.

Lucky is the man that gets you as his lovely life partner wife.

My lungs are filled,
with all the sopping,
wet words,
I swallowed down.
And they're drowning me.

Every word on my mind has the power to save my life, but like a sharpened knife I keep them at my side, because this was supposed to be just another fist fight, and I fight fair even when I'm outsized.

Dreams shattered on the floor
she dances on the broken glass
trying to restore her reflection.
She looks in the mirror and sees nothing more
...but a broken girl
Collab coming soon. :)

Feelings fade,
people change,
Happiness becomes part of our past,
Sadness becomes part of our daily routine
and then we get lost in our own darkness,
believing that we'll live again but the bitter truth is
that we dont live again,
instead of living again,
we die again and again.
Our souls are killed by our own hands
and then we ask
'' Am I the murderer of my happiness?''
and then the reply comes
-''you know the answer very well'' .

I listed
Out loud
All the things I loved about you

And in return
All I got was your silence

By Arcassin Burnham

Making my way to the crash site of flower beds,
Queen size,
I don't know what this is but something's wrong
With my head,
And you think you would know anything,
To see this beautiful body laying here is
Nearly a blessing,
Those pretty lips covered in bliss will give you
A concussion,
I'd be more happy and then honored to call her
my muffin,
And you think you would know anything,
Signifies road **** with her pretty wings,
So majestic in and out and in between,
Her skin is burning red hot like stored away
Gasoline,
I'm too anxious to know anything,

See the sun,
Like a burn,  like a burn,  like a burn,
See the sun,
Like a burn,  like a burn,  like a burn,
See the sun,
Like a burn,  like a burn,  like a burn,
See the sun,
Like a burn,  like a burn,  like a burn.
