Shashi Nov 2016
Haunted by love, amused by pain
Finding solace, only in disdain

Heart continues burning, while the mind suffers
No more scar now, left to discover

The lonely night howls and crumble
What road is this, oh why do I stumble?
Shashi Nov 2016
Night
    drenched in my loneliness,
questioning

the empty sky,
the lost stars,
the invisible moon.

Who's mine, she asks?

the wind,
once very dear
is numb tonight

clouds,
no Sir, they got no words.

Its sheer cold
But what's burning?

Is that your heart?
Oh, but how

how come this fire
from the ashes
Evolve
in the freezing night.

A trace of love
Or a ray of hope

But they have all long gone?
Or Not?

Speak the truth however bold
Speak what lies inside the hearts folds
Do not fear the pain it may cause
Live the moment, do not once pause
Take the chance and feel free
Speak from the heart so it can be
Forget the cowardess you feel
One minute of bravery can dispell the ills
If you feel it may cause you disdain
Remember true beauty rises from pain
15 seconds of courage is all you need..
