Imagine the sky turns red,
Imagine the palm trees in flames,
Imagine the desert turns to ice,
Imagine the night never comes,
Imagine stars do not dazzle and grow bright,
Imagine, the world comes to and end,
Imagine, our hands intertwined,
   as we stare into one another's eyes,
         as we clutch one another, would it matter?
                  as we take our last breath, would I be enough?
It would not matter, for it would never come to be.
For, this is just a dream, of my imagination.

Were you born with a silver or golden spoon in your mouth?
Are you of Royal Blood or Superior DNA?
Even if you are well connected
You should have to earn what you get and deserve to get it.
Working hard and achieving even when you get knocked down
You stand up and go for it again
Believing
Trying
Then Achieving
Whether it is one moment in time or many.
Entitled, I think not.
Deserving, perhaps.

The sun sets
Into bed
The darkness creeps
Let us sleep

Secrets untold
Unconscious unfold
The hand of Fate
A dream awaits

The curtain rises
All sorts of surprises
For harm done
The cache of a setting sun

The blood, it flows
As violence goes
Viscera, shows
Subconscious woes

Am I alive?
Am I dead?
The shame arrives
My wake-less head

The past screams
To know what it means
Memories stark
Afraid of the dark

Do I wake?
Or am I not at all?
Just a mistake
Freedom to fall

The hole... is mine
An insipid rhyme
An architect, by design
To seek and never find...

The solace of a monster
It's been a while, honestly I don't know why I'm writing to you
Maybe I've gotten so used to you,—
Lost in myself, finding another reason to be so blue
Cos you are an ocean, in those tides pushing and pulling
Times of me pushing away my obvious sadness,
Just to pull me much closer to you
And in the growing distant; a beautiful site of calm and peace
But it takes me sailing through these rough waters of my mind
Fighting the winds of voices; fighting against you!
Why do all our conversations start with "what the f*ck'
Well this obviously *****, being stuck
In another mud puddle filled with ***** intentions
A few mentions of how to measure your heart
On the size of love you're willing to share
As true love is honestly rare,
When two friends fall in love, after their true feelings meet
Feelings that feel at best medium rare,
As I've seen one hoping to be in love, while another just  wishing
To be in their insides with their hungry meat !
