...Soulless

The day unatoned
Nighttime

Whose sentence disowns
Lovers
And lizards
The s...

to spread your wings and fly away,
never rooted to one spot.
never spotted on a route.

map a feeble pointer,
direction only by one’s nose.

Voice of Acceptance
...An orphan of destiny
whose birthmark disowns
A life spent indentured
his spirit on loan
Caught in a time warp

Stacked Chips
...Azzure night calls
rush blurry eyes
Pigeons came a calling
Waterloo I curse you

Restless
...Spider-black crawls the night.
Blankets hang like obese bats
from sleeping arms.
Is it the bewitching hour?
No it is 4 o'clock.
Sleep slugged me at 2.30AM
nightmares came and went.

walking in the dark alley of her lonely life
losing the fragile sanctity to the flood of strife

What I Want You To Be
...I am just a tree
So be my taproot
Not leaves that fall
When seasons shoot
Their bullets of fall
I am just a man
So be my life
Not a wife that flees
When things strike
Like stings of bees

looks in my direction
Now glancing away, so

Splinters of heartache pierce
my wretched heart disowns

In sheer surprise
As frolic plays
The guile undone
