I am getting old
don't forget to pray
so maybe God
can take your place
when you are gone...

the streets are dark
will you walk with me
to the park?
will you...

The Compassion I Didn't HaveWe thought life would have been
so simple: flowers and hugs,
sentimental nights and songs;
then, reality came with its pain...
we were no longer that invincible,
rather two people so gullible!
The compassion I didn't have
hurts inside, now it's tearing...

Implausible Thought
Your onyx hair curled and cascaded wild,
some swirled in the stream of craving squall,
some laced the lilting lattice of lust
on your forehead of ivory canvas,
carving contours of evanescent charisma.
I can’t believe I...

I have more to giveI tremble in these shadows, wrestling all forms of demons
'Cause, after you, I've learned how to soundly defeat them
For far too long, I've put up with the degradation of your behavior
After a life time, I...

Emotive Eloquence Of Silence
Enchanted by the mirage of florid ecstasy,
the flower in my desiccated heart blossomed
when your charisma drizzled on me
like the soothing rare summer rain of oasis.
The flame of my heart was stoked
by the...

The Seasons of Our LoveOn summer nights
Nostalgia's muse revives
Scent of jasmine
Fig tree fragrance fuses
Memories meander
Minty ice cream flavours
Add sweetness to hungry kisses
Star gazing to cricket symphony
Roof top whispers of love's infinity
Days drenched with salty waves
Sun flared skin...

Still in love with you
In my diary of destinies,
your song left a sweet scar.
In the silent savagery of time,
fate falters, floating like a feather,
yet my soul still sings your name.
In ivory and ebony hues of hollowness,
you bring colours to...

Cappuccino in hand and a cig, you relax in delight
Sick and happy you sit, and it must be your favorite style
Or at least that's the...

The Betrayal of BrothersA single error in judgment,
A glimpse of time that follows us,
Generation to Generation.
This clouds our DNA, forcing legacies,
Against fathers and sons,
Brother against brother.

God's law, but...
