Silent tears, relieved in ink,
on paper smooth and cool.
Heart and hand now work in synch,
as strong emotions duel.

There on the parchment you lie,
naked, for all to see.
You heave a deep cleansing sigh.
At last, you can believe.

Word by word you come alive,
a healing balm takes form.

Now absent from the body
relieved finally from wrenching tubes
Dad bade goodbye, serenely leaving
last will with Scripture's assurance:
"In my Father's house 
are many mansions..."*

Yes, he's surely welcomed by the Lord, 
the Saviour and Endower of eternal
life to them who placed their trust 
in His sacrifice, along...

RELIEVED WITH PAINS

Fed with hunger
Consoled with grief
Pitied with wickedness
They were relieved with pains

Freed with slavery
Pampered with child abuse
Educated with ignorance
They were relieved with pains

Married without grooms
Honoured with disgrace
And praised with blames
They were relieved with pains

They were given hopes with hopelessness
To live like ghosts
To be happy...

My Secret Life Relieved. 

My body in shock and in trauma
As every part of my helpless being
Lies paralysed in total agony
As if stung by a thousand bees
As complete and utter exhaustion
Takes its grip
And completely consumes and overpowers me
For I am nothing but a shipwreck lost...

Deceived and Relieved

I knew it would end in tears.
The trouble is: I never cry.
You’ve realised all my fears.
And I didn’t blink an eye.

I knew where I stood, so goodbye.
Run away from every painful fact,
Back to momma, I won’t die.
I found you out, no need to...

The eyes bow down clumsily
But deep, and relieved...

After a bout of sadness
we watched as 
a million dawns
    dance ahead of
us
  Yes, and it seems we 
        can 
  move gracefully 
down paths of light
     if we...

When we're faced with
Life's situations that seek
To alter our paths in a 
Negative manner and each
Researched solution seems
To drift away at every turn,
Seeds of insecurity and frustration
Are planted and doubt takes root
To our cerebrums
Like weeds to a garden.
We fall to our knees asking
How do we...

During strenuous hours 
Too busy to daydreaming
And after a strenuous day 
Too tired to dream too
But sonetimes my mind is 
Too hardworking to dream
Maybe the challenging outside world 
Makes me dream
No interpretations
Let it be
I have bad dreams and sweet dreams
I struggle in my bad dreams
Wake...
