Oh my dark pain,
Won’t you let any cracks to beam?
You deprived free will from my happiness —
Now they wander like fugitives
In their own hometown.
Tiny crumbles of faith
Fear to cluster
Because of you.
Leave some seats for the light.
I’m shivering like a candle’s tiny flare
Alone in the night.
Tell the thunders to call a ceasefire,
Let the clouds calm down.
Don’t blow so hard—
Just breathe,
Stoke my fire up.
Face the truth:
This war
Will never end.

patiently, i wait -
my legs crossed,
and my heart too.
much time has passed
since the inevitable happened,
and yet, the light of a clement morn
never fails to justify the agony
of dying stars in the night sky;
or the ones too dead for even the
darkness that consumed them.
the heavens dispatch their
messenger birds to nook the
wisdom into the branches
of trees whose roots have shrewd
under the weight of logs that
outline their ascent.
such trees call upon the sages
to enlighten them,
and to warn them -
for they know too well how the
message might confound in the grips
of those who practise hedonism.
perhaps, the light has always been
too blinding for mortal eyes.
the flowers bloom all the same;
the winds usher the fragrant truth -
slowly, but surely;
and i lie in hope for the
rancid thoughts to inevitably
take on new meanings…
patiently.

there’s an emptiness that
consumes the world,
like a newborn babe does her
mother’s *******
it needs the force of life -
to become a weapon for death;
as it kills the light switch
in the warehouse of hope;
as the sound of darkness
blinds even the bats;
as the echoes of piousness sink
to turn lawless mercenaries;
as the lantern flickers off
to the heaving of hedonism
that spawns in the void -
dark, and unconquerable.
until someone strikes a match.

Nothing stirred; nothing sang
A fortress of ancient trees - centuries untouched
Entombed souls in its woody heaven.
Dappled anisotropic light; a mystical beauty
Flecks of shimmering gold, thick lush greenery.
Whispers of wind rustled the foliage
A divine sight -this unexpected serenity
Yet prickling with caution
Something buried deep down;
Something sinister
Shrouding a presumed leafy paradise
Beneath everything, obscured a seed of evil.

There is a blackness in my heart,
This blackness is complete.
Don't fret, in the light, the blackness is forfeit.
There is a blackness in my heart,
Do not enter! My blackness will lead you astray.
I'm already here love, my light will not betray.
There is a blackness in my heart,
In this blackness, you and I will fall.
I will fight off your blackness, together we'll stand tall.
There is a blackness in my heart,
I can feel it's need to consume me.
*Don't give up yet--
Our battle will end, we will walk free.*
There is a blackness in my heart,
In my blackness, your light dwindles, low.
*Your blackness--
Yes, I understand now, 'we reap what we sow'.*
There is a blackness in my heart,
This blackness, I've lost all I found in the way.
*In this blackness, I will stay...
With you by my side, we fight another day!*
