Against TimeGhostly echos of the past
Still haunt me.

No going back.
I understand that
What is done is done.
I try...

Knots Between The PearlsA strand of pearls not tied with knots;

and other times a weakened string
that aches and breaks and throws our pearls across the...

The broken strings
She wore the beauty formed within her shell
The unique embellishments from a greater being
That adorned her apron strings
Where stains of toil did not impair,
the flawlessness that clung upon worn out strings
An iridescent glow shone...

Fractured ResolveI am unravel myself constantly to be everything for everyone.
Neglecting who I care about and betrayed by those which were once in their place.
I stretch myself to heights I cannot fathom to reach.

What's the matterThe long-awaited rain had fallen
Drops are glowing on the leaves
What’s the matter, why this sullen
Shade appears, while the breeze
Blows so gently and refreshing
Dries the watercolour skies
Grey clouds pale, fade out in crashing,
Soundless crashing in my...

Eternal Writings White dress stained with blood
From he who shot your gun.
Tried to keep you locked,
Before his life begun.
Spellbinding stare from
Eyes of a millionaire.

Existence Enshrined
The rhapsody of rainbow
melts in morose mélange,
the concoction of colors
bleeds in silence,
sucked out
of crumbled core of cloud,
soothing rain rinses
the stains on broken hearts,
shades of grey paints

The StateThe problem seeks to end us.
To show its fangs.

Nor tears.
Only a quite sombre.
As the Problem consumes us all....

Blindsided by DustHer whispers of "love," a suffocating embrace,
She claimed I was her air, her very space.
Blinded, I clung to a love's sweet charade,
Ignoring whispers, the warnings that frayed.

Purpose bloomed, a battle...

Preaching from SilenceA day will come—maybe not today,
Maybe not tomorrow,
But someday—
When the concept of religion will unfold before me.
Through the years, events unfold,
And always, they say, "We thank God."
I used to believe,

The old tattered bookThere on the shelf among all the other books,
Was one, a book that was old and tattered.
By the cover, nothing could be told by the looks,
Inside were written words of a life that was shattered.
