Time flies past like an uncaged bird,
Into the blue skies lest it unfurls
All of these lies that i've hold onto
will come back one day and hurt

Where was I walking to,
What is that I'm walking away from
Everything I knew was right here
A moment of truth and it's all gone

Why can't I be the man in the mirror,
Why does this world keeps its lies
I try so hard to hear your whispers
But every word escapes my eyes

Why did I lead myself to this place,
It still pains that no one understands
Is it so easy to believe my face,
And not to be seen for who I am

Be gone like the thunder in the sky,
A flash of light and a roar that'll die
I am here today like I always was
And I still have no clue why

The layers of disguise won't ever melt,
And the mask will change with every breath
I know nothing remains the same,
Why is it so easy to remember and so hard to forget

I see the world through its scars,
Torn and left to rot in my heart
I try to hold on to these winds,
As they try to rip me apart

Now all that's left is just me,
these wounds that'll never heal
with every step I lose myself  
And I know morrow I won't even feel

It's gone just like it came,
Only to leave memories behind
Now I don't know where I am,
Maybe somewhere no one can find

There's no comfort in this solitude,
Of what I have craved for so long
Mute as it is, world never cries
This silence makes me feel so alone

And now i'm back to where I belong,
At the edge of my own, I crawl
Everytime I find the key to be free
I run straight ahead into another wall

As I let go of the last string,
Of which binds me to my own
I know i'll wake up the same
I know I will be gone

Come back and haunt me once more,
Lie to me that I am of this world
Make me see through these mirrors
Take me away form where I lurk

And for the last time make me feel,
It's been so long since i've felt
Life running through my veins
I've lived far too long in this hell

Let me walk till the end,
Even if I never make it back
I've lost everything else
This journey is all I have


This journey is all we ever have
Understand, just once.

Fear is the demon
that will scratch at
your soul, leaving
goose bumps where
its fingers have tried
to take hold.

But to give in to fear
is to fear ones self, to
slay the demon you
must move  past it
do not let its icy grip
take hold.

We fear many things,
but fear is an illusion,
and like illusions, blow
away that which we fear
and all the worries drip
away, and fear is washed
away never again
to take hold

No desire for words spoken

we sail on the wind

the energy surrounding us

takes perfect dictation

nothing misunderstood

cosmically we sync

we finish sentences spoken

astrologically

we fit by design

forever equals us

without a moments notice

eternity sealed our fate

the first time we exchanged looks

from across the way

It was  lost on
a cold night, never
to be found again.

On cold pavement
slabs, my bottom
freezing but all part of
the fun.

She used me as some
late night fun, but it
was 25th December.

I'll never forget that
present, she unwrapped
and threw me away
when done...

Fortress


Stone by weathered cobble I build,
calloused hands ache in sweet surrender
Mortar’d affection of a coalesced consistency,
mixed and blended, bound by love’s tether

Stacking to heights of protective design
Patterned on roaming hillsides, serpentine wanderings,
Lush green fields crawl, blue sky diversions,
as song birds whistle to the day

And I sweat, my brow now drenched,
muscles pushed to horizonary boundaries,
tattered clothes sway in late afternoon breezes
Still I push on, fitting, finding, filling this need

Something so precious as glistening morning dreams,
crystalline musings, fragile bisque castings
Destined for my world, beyond battlefield dawns,
sifting serene country settings…quite peace

The long day ends, I marvel at my accomplishment
steadfast and suited to defend in sunset flames,
turrets of observative reachings soar above
timber and heavy iron chain…gated sanctuary

Now my love you may rest…
beneath starry heavens and comet renderings,
upon your bed of satin feathered sighs…
For I have built this fortress…around your heart

It’s presence we can feel
Our eyes can’t seem to catch a glimpse
Only possible through the gentle sway of leaves
And a whiff touching your hair
Or while brushing against your body
It can carry the fresh perfumes from afar
Winds are also a messenger, for things to come
Always making us aware of its presence
The wind slithers through the deepest forests
If it faces obstruction, it changes its path
Swiftly travelling to a new destination
Wind disregards the manmade boundaries
As wind is nature’s messenger
It can also bring a wind of change
It may be bright or sometimes sinister
The wind has neither creator nor destroyer
The wind is the master of its own journey
Traversing and circumventing any obstacles
The wind is the inspiration to so many poets
With the help of the wind the sailor finds the way
The wind is mystical and is also intriguing
Sometimes it also brings destruction
The wind also sweeps away the dirt
Bringing with it a change or transformation
It’s here, there and everywhere- omnipresent
Winds of change will sweep away over us

I call her Moon.
              Why, you ask?
Because she is light
     when my nights are heavy.

You say you love me more
You always doubt my want and need for you
But when a day goes by
Where we can't be with each other
And we don't speak much
It breaks me down
Depresses me
Until the next moment I'm with you
Because that's when I feel security
You're the light in my life
Without you it's dark
You're the pillow I rest my head on
In the middle of the night
Your voice and your touch
Soothes me and stops time
The lonely days make me short of breath
I hate it when you're not by my side
I simply can't live without you
Yet you always question this love of mine
I wish you'd understand
I wish you would believe me
You're everything I want
You're all that matters to me

A resounding knock at the door,
a pair, with one killer smile stood
but how could she return it?
they barge in without waiting to be invited
the girl takes back her half of the smile at once,
and becomes the spokesperson
of the man with an intention,
from her strange countenance
one could discern in advance
the shock value of her request.

"As you know we live in great times
that value uncommon attainments more than ever,
we collect and auction them for the rich"

She didn't understand where they want to take her,
never heard the stream of tears would be the best sell
in an auction, though at times she was struck
by the sparkle that rivals the rarest of the real pearls

She stood perplexed in her hurt and pain, ancient
"Can't say how much we are fascinated
by your collection of grief, market is now wide
to accommodate, the variety of stuff in offer
your pain is so intense, it would certainly
create a stir in the heart of most hardened billionaire
we appreciate your persistence as a collector so rare"

She heard in deafening silence, the acidic voice trail off
is she saved or is it a bad dream yet again?

I have a full head of hair
& a nice set of teeth,
one gold cap.
The house I own
is a modest one,
with a bit over an acre
& a vegetable garden.
All of my limbs are
intact, both eyes
are in my head
& I can speak fluently.
Oh, and I'm well fed
& keep myself trim.
What the hell do I have
to worry about?
It's not like I'm
crossing the English Channel
in a landing craft
or going for another round
of chemo.
I could be limping
on an artificial leg
or eating prime rib
through a plastic straw.
If being stuck in congested-traffic
is the worse thing I have going,
then I humbly confess,
I'm pretty ******* blessed.

I want to swim
    in lakes with you
      and stare at stars
        and climb up mountains
          and sleep in tents
             and play with bugs
               and wrestle in mud
                                               and
                                               also
                                             maybe
kiss you
