One of the most consistent lessons
I've learnt
With life and living is that
There are a couple
More things that are
As certain
As constant
As change;

The sun will always come up
And people will always let you down
Civilisation is not monuments and cities

         to books I turn my heart and mind

         amidst life's many woes and perplexities

          the most precious gifts therein I find
Dance of red fishes

in cool silent blue water

they never tire
When I was young
              I held a rose

              when I grew up
               a rose was not quite a rose

               when I am old as at now
                I no longer wish to hold a rose
i know a tragic poetry;

two souls met and burned together
for each other and for the world,
fate blew the flame and then
they parted as strangers.

IA
my head wanders to unfathomed depths sometimes; and all it takes is one name that subtly crushes my soul in misery.
almost morning
eerie quiet
nervous eyes past
shady alleys
sleepy silence
drenched in dewdrops
waiting for the Sun to spark

stone cold storefront
streetlight
bus stop
miles and miles and
just beginning
try to walk past

my thoughts spinning

webs of madness
in the dark
Right!
side to my left,
I can't carry it
without left,

Right, on my
hand is more
than hills of
Gold and
diamond like
Himalaya and
Kilimanjaro

Right, is to do
But fine doing
to myself and
themselves in
location of the
righteousness
Understand your left before navigating other's right
