Silence of a dark night
deafening for the soul
Looking towards redemption
Stories untold
Life is but a prism
Colours separating from the seams
Dark ones are quiet
Light ones scream
May be we are prisoners
our small deeds
Considered crimes
Punishable indeed
As the night passes
we are left without words
travelling long distances
returning where we stood
the dawn appears at last
Time to wear our masks
Air exudes
it’s time to fly
Up and up
in the sky
territories to explore
heart to implore
trysts in greens
Emotions unseen
words implying
fractured meaning
Souls in need
desperate cleaning
Altitude silence
Blue sky violence
Colours pushing limits
Impatient yearnings
Intellect earnings
Thoughts imploding
Mind exploding
infinite impossibilities
No desire to land
Flight extends
Life acquires
moment sublime
beyond time
Away thousand miles
from all the affection
all you have is their smiles
heart riles, determined soul
hoping, aiming, changing
destiny as a whole
tearing fabric of possibilities
such is the will of a human
Crafted with sweat and blood
took seven hundred twenty days
dragged to strange ways
there it lays, reflecting
artistry, craftsmanship
blacksmithing, brush strokes
most desired masterpiece
breath’s final release
admired, smiled and spitted on
admittedly, lately
people have varying taste
some take ages to decide
what they adore, abhor
others in momentary haste,
driven by greed, creed, breed
millions fail, few succeed,
there is nothing else to the deed,
has to be done, by someone
let’s mocking cocking
crowds have their say
it is the ancient way,
how nature decides destiny
Heading right
into a storm
the day was warm
weather angry with nature
why let sapiens fracture
dear sister earth
digging holes everywhere
no justice nothing fair
entering lion’s lair
small chance of survival
Slow, latent
Heart was captured
Soul was conquered
Such are rewards
for being patient
Blue skies, pouring rain
Freezing cold, heat insane
Difficult day, starry night
Eternal calm, mayhem, fight
Simple tasks, rocket science
Walk in the park, death defiance
All circumstances, every clime
I work hard, deliver on time
another year come to close
last goodbyes, dusk glows,
telling tales, far and wide,
desert mist, deep ocean tides,
creativity rediscovered at mundanity’s cost,
whatever pretence, need to be, was lost,
dark days and bright nights,
orphaned sadness, gloomy delights
a decade will go, when looking behind,
that last dusk, what memories bind,
missing unconditional love, affection now,
and a wish that evening return somehow
Most beautiful place
of the universe
I don’t have a song for you
All my words are lost
Love stung, stabbed
Made me a loon
Mind of stone
I did get a kiss
at what cost?
hundreds of miles
snow and sleet
hands dead numb,
frost bitten feet
thoughts insane,
roaming in vain,
what could be found
in these frozen plains
hoping to disappear in
icy lakes, blackened trees
perhaps to be found dead
in satin hell freeze
purpose and aim
with certainty unknown
one day wished to
walk on my own
tired of people,
tired of things
joy, pain, responsibility
mundanity brings
wanted to go away
where no one came
nothing to be given
credit for, none could blame
did work finish fine?
or studied on time?
this chore was completed?
did that poem rhyme?
essence of life, living
please pray tell
is it any better than
this ice cold hell
