A Sad But True ThoughtA Sad But True Thought
When racing world pales deep, its darkness takes first stage
evil parades as good, soon becomes all the rage.
When humanity walks blind, rather than open eyed
graveyards will fill with those, that far too early died.

Adieu - Part 1Do you remember?
We lay in the moonlight, exhausted and content,
Moments from perfection, skin glistening with moisture,
Salty and sweet from love - love so amazing
That it stunned us every time ...
Always better than before, and always perfect.
Even from the very first, always different and new,
Yet always...

But a MomentI hold you ...
tight to my chest
but with a concerned tenderness,
as if you are an infant
that I am shielding from a storm ...
or an angel of Valhalla -
her last breath given, ear-to-heart
for the soft-thrumming rhythm of life ...
(what my tympans now ache for)
your flesh is...

A FORBIDDEN LOVEIn quiet corners where no one sees,
Two hearts find solace, though love's not free.
A gentle touch, a fleeting smile,
In a world that deems their love a trial.
Their love, a secret they must protect,
From judging eyes and harsh neglect.
They hold each other in the dark,
Wishing the...

Selfish LoveHer wandering eyes are on a hunt again,
longing for a visual fling.
He senses her growing urge
is standing at the door of lust.
She tries to skirt her moral compass
and soon realize its not enough.
The priceless gift he gave was trust
with open eyes she is blind...

Rain of PainThe rain falls hard on this lonely night,
As I stand here in the dim street light.
My heart is shattered, my spirit broken,
As I think of the words you left unspoken.
I loved you more than anything,
But you found someone with a bigger ring.
Someone better, someone new,
And...

The Sixth SenseThis lovely little cat has been my friend for a long time.
I have never been so worried as I am today.
It is time. He is about to leave this world.
He is really old and, you know, sickness comes with age.
To be honest, I just wish...

Bridging the Gapwhen Spring River recedes
we will break a ritual bread
together
the lover plans
I would rather build a fence
along the bank,
the woman swears
at the daybreak,
she calls a fence-builder
to have him build
a fence
between her farm
and her lover’s field
on...

Alone Without YouWhat amount of regret will bring you back?
How much tears will I shed before I see you again?
Where does my pain bound to go?
Who am I to move on?
Why does death to you come so easy?
If misery to you is me,
I am miserable without you....

She Was My EverythingShe was my everything.
Wanted to give her a ring
And ask her to be my mate
No longer patient to wait.
In the garden on a date,
I bravely tempted fate.
Got down on bended knee
And put forth my plea.
Promised to always be
A faithful spouse to she.
Answering me with a...

BreakI sat there staring at the screen, dimly lit.
I read the words you sent and started feeling sick.
I was doubling over in pain and disgust,
And looking up at the sky to the lightning bolts and wind gusts.
And the storm clouds rolled in.
And the clouds storm...

Cupid's Illusion Cupid’s illusion
It's one charm and unending allure-
The promise of a joy devoid of pain
Contentment and peace; so secure
An illusion - your dream, your bane.
From its delusions of timeless bliss
Time and again, will rear it's head;
A thousand arrows, each with a hiss
Pain zipping,...
