FRACTURED LIGHTIn the mirror's gaze, a stranger's face
Eyes that once shone bright, now dim with time
The weight of shadows, a heaviness that clings
A heart that beats with doubt, a soul that sings
A whispered lie, a voice that won't subside
"You're not enough, you'll never be alright"
The echoes of memories, a bittersweet refrain
A longing for solace, a search...

I can’t explain how I survive
I can’t be so sure
When words describes how it happen
Cos all i do is who i am
Am not the best or the greatest
But am living my life
The rest is up to God
It been a journey worth it
The ups...

Turtle beachThe Ballad of the Endless Shell
An Epic Poem of Turtles
In the age when the world was newborn and bright,
Before sword or sorrow or firelight,
The Earth did stir with a breath so wide,
And turtles rose from the ocean's tide.
Old as mountains, calm as stone,
They bore the sky on backs alone.
With shells like shields from time and...

What Are You Chasing?You wake up with a goal,
at least, that's what you say.
But take a moment, be real,
what’s lighting your way?
Is it passion?
A purpose that stirs in your chest?
Or just the grind to keep up and impress?
You’re not building kingdoms.
You’re just sending T-fare.
So someone can smile, flip her hair,
Eat your food, rest in...

Before The Gates Of Alahsar - Version 2 - 32The Dark men fought on past their mother,
many had seen the mighty one fall
they fought on with bitter hate,
as now, once more, did the mother of the storm.
Her spear flashed lightning,
she stirred on her horses,
the chariot moving quickly forward,
the spear drinking deeply of Arlagh's blood.
The battle now raging,
one large cacophony of terror,
many smaller battles now...

Before The Gates Of Alahsar - Version - 2 -31Fierce goblins rode these wolves,
their curved scimitars, raining death,
their fierce visage could freeze the heart,
they moved with the giant spiders,
death comes in so many ways.
The battle on the right was terrible,
blood did flow like a river,
black, blue, green and red,
what horror stalked Badicha.
Already, the foot soldiers are charging into the trees,
they now had the bloodthirst,
it...

HungerI saw the rattle snakes, cobras and anacondas
slithering in-between my toes but not of them bit but off of my flesh or bite me at all
the field of Green was greener then I thought It would be more fresher and safe
then I thought I would be.
I saw fresh fruit dangling of trees off like...

Never againNever again
Run away from danger
Oh you man of value
Listen to the call of nature
It holds a destiny for everyone
It will show you the way out
From a Trapped world
Hold on to your pains
Keep your light on
Remember
No one is coming to save you
From a dying world...

The Devil PhilosopyThe parties were in full swing.
The doorbell rang, yet no one knew it.
In that instant, everything changed for the party guests.
Speak softly, lean in closer, and turn down the volume.
A sudden death—another soul has taken its last breath.
Did he pass the test? Sniffing cocaine, he...

MY SPECIAL WOMANIf not for my mother
I would have been in jail
She cool me down
Everytime them give me hate
She makes me eat
Even when I don't earn
Steadily supplying all I need.
The things
I lack
Are the things
I never asked from her
She's always giving
Unconditionally
Without seizing
She gives all she has for nothing.
None like a mother
Her...

Warning of Krishna-A TranslationWandering in the woods for years,
Trials and Tribulations without fears,
Scorching heat, thorns and flood flow,
Came the Pandavas with a divine glow.
For days not Fortune lay wrappen,
Wait and Watch the thing to happen.
To manifest the clan’s worth,
To show the righteous path on Earth,
To bring Duryodhan into sense,
To prevent Massacre of Vehemence,
Came Hastinapur the Almighty,
The Message...

Breath Again ReviewBreathe Again
Did I have years of experience
Or was it years of daily repeats
I must have had, my confidence had suffered,
Those pop-up painful memories
In my love life and work experience I feud daily
Here I am today as I am aging,
I developed this thing called
“I just don’t give a ”
About after I am gone,
Just buried me...

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAYMothers are very unique
Never to be traded for anything
The love they give
Comes with no hidden intentions
A love so real and rare
Nurturing and culturing their offspring relentlessly.
Women the womb of earth
Always bestowing blessings on earth
Steadily reproducing
As they conceive
Earth receives another legend or hero.
Happy mother's Day
To all mothers out...

Why Your Cities Burn, Part VI...Have you ever seen true madness
take full possession of a man?
Gobayth’s dreams of coming home
were now all well and truly damned.
It’s said he screamed for half the night,
so much that it damaged his throat,
and it was not long after that
he started slaying ‘settled’ folk.
The first target was a merchant
travelling with his concubine
and his two slaves...
