I am the book in the back of a library
Lost and hidden away collecting dust.
Spine broken; pages torn and faded
My cover ripped away long ago.

A story once filled with brilliant vibrancy
Now damaged beyond repair.
I am nothing but an unknown story
Forgotten and left without a title.

-ARI
Find what ye shall seek
Wish for the rarest treasures
Don’t spin web of complexities
Rendezvous with the silent voice
Be alert, lest you miss the calling
Extraneous attractions are detours
Towards a maze of unsavory destination
Choose to make the right choices
Patience is the key to open such avenues
Make every travel worthy as a traveler
It’s a satisfaction, none greater than any
Soul basks in realization of the truth
Eternal glory, which outshines the darkness
The blink of an eye
Is an eye-opener
So much change
Eyes can’t believe
As if eyelids
Are pulled by strings
Puppetry of events around
Our vision in a time warp
Soul has already envisioned
The events here and beyond
Late we realize this
Trusting our eyes for guidance
Soul and eyes aligned
Gives a deeper perspective
Much beyond the surface of things
An eternal understanding
To foresee what we are and will be

The conscience
Does not condone
The fate that
The future owns
So we breathe
Hope not to
Ever leave...
Some
Choose Not
To Shrink
From Death
Words
Lost to
Monstrosities
Sublime
Good times pass
Laughter echoes
Existence unwinds

I try not to feel
Cloaked in the world of poetry
You get to feel every emotion closely
Smallest details become extravagant
Expansive and glorious is the world
Praying at the altar of your muse
The warmth seeps through every pore
Wakening the frozen emotions
Grab the cloak closer to your being
That’s poetry and the world you realize
You exist, as poetic world becomes reality

Realist here
Look there's a pink elephant
Taking up space in my living room
What? How dare me bring it up??
Silence speaks louder than...what?
Where am I coming from??

Get the pink elephant out of my living room
If you want me to stop talking about it...

Caravan of infidel's
Show me
What I've missed
I tip my hat
Raise my glass
And await
The gypsy kiss

Burry now
Those hatches
Stained in blood
Of old
I lost my reason
To live in hate
Many years ago

But have you?

I touched her sadness, I felt to cry
A mere spark of empathy remains
If only tears would fill these dim eyes
Yet short is my emotional pain

I dreamt a dream that broke my heart
And cried like the pouring rain
But when I awoke my pillow was dry
In darkness my sorrow remains...
