Some say crucify him
Many said enslave him
Others said neglect him
Few said let's hear from him
They never wanna listen to his messages.
Some say let's rectify him
Many said let's edify him
Others said let's glorify him
Few said no let's nail him
Now some can relate
But they don't want his rule.
He's always prepare
Ready to fight for his right
Defending his personality
He's so fearless and furious
Fiercely facing any opposition.

The wind blows fiercely tonight, carrying with it cold whispers,
And my thoughts fly to the boys in the forgotten row of life,
I hope some of them find solace in a bottle of red wine,
For on the edge of that world, you clearly see how everything is locked and barred,
You realize every corner already belongs to someone, with locks on the gates,
That's how our democracy works, a well-directed play,
Where you get what you can, keep what you have, and maybe add more,
If luck wills it, if the wind doesn't scatter your dreams,
That's how dictatorship works too, only there slavery comes to life,
And the lost are swallowed, forgotten like shadows in the dark,
But we have forgotten our own, let them disappear into the wind,
In both worlds, you feel the cold, harsh wind piercing the soul,
It reminds you of our collective loneliness, of indifference,
And in this wind, which knows no borders or regimes,
I realize we are all lost travelers, without shelter.

I love you earnestly,
That it takes my breathe away.
I love you passionately,
That it clouds my sight.
Honestly!!!
I love you fiercely,
That even my heart can't carry the weight.
But, unfortunately
I gotta let go of you

Things seem different
This spring
The same sakura petals
Heart shaped
Short lived
But
There is something breathtaking
About a short yet fiercely
Lived existence
One of the things
that don’t change every year
A sense of relief
Living in a time of unease
In the air of spring
In an age of advancements
Close yet so far away
Sitting in solitude
As the
Spring turns into summer
When we leave our doors
Each and everyone of us
Will be together
As one and all
And all for one

'Twas a mystifying shiver,
made her insides quivery liquid
a flight of fancy such as none other,
they were like two ships passing
midst a steamy night's rendezvous,
whenever the poetry of a drab life
appears to be stagnant & oppressive,
she reminisces an endearing epoch
whence earth vehemently shook &
in the way he made every last nuance
of devoured flesh fiercely tremble to
the core of her reawakened existence

Cool Winds Fiercely Bloweth, I Feel Those Deep Cold Chills
Under the shade of the tallest red elm out back
soundly shielded from glaring lights and old headstones
Resting in shadows, mother's food in my backpack
lost, so far away from damn ringing telephones.
My ragged-torn heart sheds its blistering dead skins
replacing with quiet and long reaching sweet dreams
Agony, quenched fear of my many past dark sins
the results of greedy and lustful blackened schemes.
In lazy and long imaginary repose,
soul's desires springing forth like a tiger on prey
Shady elm, that my tired beckoning spirit chose
saddest shame that you my friend have nothing to say
Under shades of white oaks on far away black hills
cool winds fiercely bloweth, I feel those deep cold chills.
