Tell me this…

In your vision,
Am I your mission?
In your eyes,
Are their hints of lies?

Why did you let go of everything you once had?
It’s okay to have a new start; on the otherhand, it’s not bad
They...

I can’t take anymore of this…
I wish you had mercifulness…
Tension slits me like a knife…
All my life...all my life...all my life...

Don’t let go and stay close to me (I’m wanting you oh so badly)
I know...

(a poem I've written back in 2013)

I've encountered something quite odd
I'm receiving brand new information
I've given up too many times to count on my underestimated fingers
Trying to think rationally...I've been tricked by your lies that...

Exhausted, you're playing as a suicidal victim once more
Confusion sucked me dry all the more to the deep core
Thaw me like frozen ground beef…
Give me some microwaving relief

Hate the actions you make...

Reflections haunt me,
Mortifying me…longing to be free…
Drifting away
Go ahead and throw up your explanation points!!
Raise your voice at me again
Give me all you got
Get me something I forgot…

Frustrated to say the least
Your words, they’re not...

Feeling my way out of darkness
I found myself in the spotlight of marvelous dreams come true
Feeling my way out of distress
I am bound to find you, locked up inside the tower of nightmarish blue

Looking forward...

You're back in our lives, my brother…
I am relieved, yet grieved like no other
Darkness took you away from me cruelly
Now, the light led you back to life thankfully

You were extremely lost, alone and cold in...

Hey what did I miss?
Do I owe you something,
that every time I make a move in life you react?
Do I owe you success?
That every time I drown, making bad decisions
You recognize,

Judging like an expert.
Does it...

In the desert of desolation,
I feel this all-to-familiar frustration
Get the hell away from me…negativity…
Flee from me, unsatisfied soul of envy 

I yearn for something more
You’re the one I adore
You’re the one I adore

You deserted me...

In the desert of desolation,
I feel this all-too-familiar frustration
I yearn for something more
You're the one that I adore
You're the one that I adore

You deserted me long ago
The wind moves to and fro
I was wondering where...

A scorpion in a crab's garb!
Has stung into my body cells;
Poisoning my joy's inner orb,
Has dug into me deep death wells…

Bitter emptiness in me shrouds,
Like dark eclipses in the Space;
Have heaven's galaxy's star crowds,
Dared dim...

NOT AN EXPERT

I am not an expert on the stars or the flowers.
I can’t think like an expert does.
I am not an expert on the stars or the flowers
but there are times…when I wish I...

Adorable QuiQui

A green-feathered, yellow head beauty,
that’s my prized pet parakeet, QuiQui.
Even when she’s often crabby and snappy,
she succeeds in making me extremely happy. 

QuiQui loves dipping and diving into her bird bath,
and hanging from a...

Dear…I am lost for words
As I thought they were Lords.
Alas! They treat me like an inexpensive cup
That breaks even with much luck.

Dear…how dare you act like an expert,
In relationships when you never gave a heart?

SUMMER COOKING FOR SLUMBER 

At the edge of the Thar desert in a city
the simmering summer sun doesn’t set
before it blazes the day at 45 degree C.
On rock slab of backyard I can make an...
