Weighed Down
Sometimes I wonder why I can't move on
From thoughts and feelings weighing down my mind.
I wish I could cast off this awful weight
So I can plan my future and be free.
Perhaps I need to find another path
A different trek so I can start again.
With choices made that keep my mind at peace
Instead of dread that...

DEVIL IN THE DARKThe sun shone in bewilderment,
Scornfully it scorch,
As Rose plead her fifth amendment,
Her good nature made a strife,
Lea smirk in disdain ,
Saith her world has ended.
Twice fairer than Lea,
In Lea heart lies deceit,
She whispers in Rose ear,
Come and sit, where Serpent hisses,
I will smother thee with kisses,
Honey lies secrets not known,
In Lea lives the honey.
Thrice shy,...

The poems I should've never had to writeThe poems that weep with grief
The one that bleeds a sadness unnoticed
The ones that grieve the erasure of colour
I wish I didn't have to write poems
To convince you of our pain
The one that stains every word on every page
The ones that can't bleed out of existence
The ones that break and...

Hope From A ButterflyI saw a butterfly in the sky
from a memory a tear came to my eye
through transcendence it had arrived
it wasn’t in any way contrived
our oneness with loved ones passed will always last
the truth is no longer masked we are one the die is cast
life is good when understood through the Light
nothing can hide from it...

Risk And RewardWhat is risk if not an invitation
to break through our existing stagnation.
We have given up our precious freedom
and invited in a life of boredom.
Could coincidences in life be clues?
Are they hints, the direction we should choose?
Should we unleash the habits of our past?
Should we break them like chains, take risks at last?
Our fear...

Speech on Memorial day
Value people when they have life
Strangely, people understand lately
Everything is loud and clear, yet blinds
Still, people find it challenging, but why? honestly
Wait, let’s unpack the fact.
Dead people do not speak
Neither response is to pick a fight
They are calm and quiet
Due to which they candlelight
Celebrate the opponent's flight
Words flow with compassion disguised
The love poured out...

Will I ever outgrow this?
What is this ridiculous obsession ~
perhaps a case of simple vanity?
There's so much more to life
than warped arrogant narcicism.
I'm obviously more than
these pesky extra pounds
around my waist and
few deep wrinkles on my face
yet still it manages to monopolize
my moods and daily thoughts.
I seem to spend my time
reminding mirror and self,
much like repeating a mantra,
that...

honey sun erased my frowns
olive green trees sing
in welcome warmth of noonday
laughing gold lilies crowd June

as butterflies spread scent news
they're maroon in hue

From Here To EternityDripping dripping, the sound resounding
Like echoes abounding
Stronger stronger, louder sounding
My head is pounding
Throbbing throbbing the pain is increasing
Like a jack hammer never unceasing
Longing longing for the pains decreasing
Too much pain, I need the releasing
Like soft white clouds, floating in the wind
I feel the medication like a comforting friend
Thanks for the help, no hope I...

We are all broken people new song versionWe are all broken people
You see the cooler kids,
You really don't fit in...
Try not to let your frustration show
You don't know what to do,
When other people look at you...
Don't worry there's still time to grow
Chorus
We are all broken people...
trying our best to fit in...
We are all broken people...
The time will come when we will win,
Yes...

VICTORY DESTINEDA person’s actual name Victory
Surrounding story
Struggles after another
Each situation different from the other
Going from one chapter onward
Defeat moments felt a violent Thunderstorm
It seemed like a detour to nowhere
Darkness seemed to surround every situation
Trapped in uncertainty
Suddenly a turnaround
Circumstances an onward approach
Unstoppable
Pressure lifted off
There was a force of victory on a direct course
No more darkness just brighter...

DarkSo much hate.
Getting worse of late
So many crying
Dying
Nation fighting nation, such a bloody duel
Hate. Is the fuel
Finding better ways to kill
Not wanting to make a deal
Lives they continue to steal
Sad to see
So much violence there be
Technology of today
Changing the way
Innocents, civilians, gone in a blink of an eye
As death falls from the sky
Who...
