Too much pain wrestles in my dark,
forcing limps that stifle my spark.
Trekking "the long and winding road,"
I seek You for a faith reload.
Praising Your road paved with faith's seed,

some days

the floorboard that gasps when stepped on
the blue bulb pulsing in an amber-lit room
the coffee stain colonizing your blue shirt—

Bones

...Imagine,
I heard her loud painful fading groans
I looked at her swollen face
And saw the blood gushing out of her body
She was slowly fading
And I was only fourteen

Her heartbeat had stopped

ELASTIC ECSTASY OF SUMMER

...And then sun proves
its mettle. Its warm rays hit
neighborhoods, forests and all

I feel not like meeting you - I

...Now that when darkness dares at me,
The flame of life flickers in me,
And loneliness stares at me,
I feel not like meeting you.

Its midnight having met in me,

It’s been one year,

Some Names Annoy

...I maintain some names badly annoy,
Whichever way one might them employ:
In just minutes turn one into flame
like hands and feet one's self esteem maim.
