Christmas is over
New year has begun
Not sure I'm ready for another one
Done all the things I resolved not to do
The lights blazing down
Time just flew

The world looks newer than before
Burning bright with colors galore
Feel it turn as I go through my day
Long years behind
Short ones on the way

Lighting life with the glow from ahead
Steps have went the wrong way instead
Branch is just too high to reach
Consumed in never-ending breach

The flame marks the proper route
Spells cast make it hard to get out
When my foot bravely goes to tread
Suddenly cells are made of lead

My fire drags me the opposite direction
Everglow remains in the darkest section
Memories of long ago linger in my head
Love I lost
Can't let go of
Remains in words unsaid

When asked my resolution I always respond
"Stop saying yes to things I am of rather not fond"
Of course I never commit and fail within a week
I try nonetheless though my attempt is too weak

Footsteps becoming heavy,
Approaching the Gallows Wood;
Like the sacrificial cross,
Of where Jesus once stood..

Memories fading,
Like an echoes end;
Unable to face,
All the things you've been..

Destiny or fate,
Still a destination of which you're late..
Evolution of a creation,
No more than a mistake..

Decades of holding back,
A soul now drowned from choked down tears;

Standing before the Gallows Wood,
A faint smile,
Now replaces your fears...

Yet another evening of lockdown
, have never felt this peace in my entire life
The world is at halt
People are defining joy in different ways
Finding of ways of partying in different way

Indeed,the definition of fun is changing

And in a way I feel blessed  that am able to live life in all together a new way

The life that used to be in books that I used to read about
Here I am living it ,
Evenings are spent with music that soothes your soul
Kitchen has never been so lively
People here are spending more time cooking playing talking reading
This feels so vintage
So 90’s
I feel blessed and new
This is what actual vacations feels like
This is what home feels like

Now , I know what home is and how peace can be so satisfying to your mind and soul
There is a lot that I feel but fail to put into words every time

Like I want to pen down every emotion
Capture this into million photographs,
But as its rightly said
Somethings are felt from heart

Wish I could keep this feeling for forever !!

He finally said he loved me.
I write this out with a smile on my face.
I feel as if I'd explode with glee,
he makes me feel like I'm in outer space.

I float as if I'm top of cloud nine,
I don't care what's to come.
All I know is that he is finally mine,
and he's as sweet as bubble gum.
Love, Hurt, Repeat. The forever lasting process.

Distinct shades of hues — stood the same
as the pitch-black dusk
takes place into the steel cage,
it dooms her life — a tale of desolation.

A series of the cynic
seeking through — peeking eyes
hushed lips,
here comes despair.

Painted words
by her — another form of scars
wrestled and won
of newness
and fondness
of her secrets
and her sins — are like faces
from a covered haze.

Shredded reputation — stop!
“It will never settle.”
She will strike once again
her vulnerability — remains concealed:
it must preserve her.

“It will never end.”
As she sips from the twists of her
remorse,
though she buries
her facade.

“End her.”
Hailed by her,
while she seeks for
another shade of colors — thus lead her
of another yet
the flicker of the sun.

“It will work out, I believe so.”
cynical moments made in 3a.m.

Every day I feel the pain less.

The needles in my heart become fewer and farther between.

The joys of life dull the hurt you gave me.

Until I forget it was ever mine.

You were a strong force from the beginning.
A poetry demanding to be known.
A poem itching to be written.
A word needful to be told.
Right from the start, you were a challenge
A sacrifice, yet a good ending.

Once we sat under a tree
Having a good time sharing our love
Now you want to become free
For the time has come for us to leave

You told me to start a new life
With a good supporting wife
But I don't know what to do
Living my life without you

I don't know where to start
But I must start anew
Life is not playing fair
But I pretend not to care

Now I'm left alone thinking
Of you as my good old friend
For every new beginning
Does come from and end.
For every new beginning does come from and end.
your happiness over mine...
back then and until now.
but tomorrow...
when the sun rises
in the east.
i'll try to find happiness
in its heat. and forget that
i risked almost everything.
so i can burn in yours.
