Had led Her mind to escape to Heaven
Her firmament was Her Mind
Her body just a Shell"


Heaven for Her existed in The Dream
She called Her...

Hello? Are you there today?
Have I scared you away?
Spent my whole teenage life, 
Preparing for this day of strife 
To say my goodbye's
To your love-me-not lies
Oh well, oh well
I'm not saying farewell
Where do you dwell?
In...

Tell Them

To all who have never known, it's time that you've been told.

Tell the girls to think...

Triggered by tiredness and strain
Upon my wearisome, impaired brain
My guard is down the strange drain
Refrain from driving me insane

So impulsive was my actions a while ago
Within me is the...

"Years” and “Distance”, phantoms of the dark that do their evil
in the quietude of the everyday, coming and going without so
much as a footprint or a whisper, and taking the most valuable
possessions of the heart,...

“So tell me…what’s adopting like? Seems a little risky - picking out your children from the local lost and found! 
Suppose the kid’s a ‘loser.’ Do they let you bring ‘em back? Can you -...

How much I longed for the days
When the earth will rise to its glory again
How much I longed for the days
When we will give God all the praise
The earth‘s sadness will fade away
And we will...

Mother and son
After forty years
A new life
They have begun

They were apart
For so many years
It was impossible
To count and keep track
Of all the tears

It all started
When he was six years old
There were no schools for his...

Your drinker's doom
Turned out to be a tranquil tomb
Is there any room
To bring out your brilliant, legitimate bloom?

You linger around my restful haven,
My darksome and lonesome, yet pretty satisfying bedroom
You stared at me vacantly and...

You shouldn’t be discouraged...
You have a lot of luggage to carry
Let me carry it as I see privileged
You have so much potential honestly

You shouldn’t be discouraged...your love, it awesomely glimmers
You have a lot of burning...

So, I’ll be quite frank about how I feel…
Dealing with my demons, made out of steel
And I have been feeling numb all my life
Due to a lack of peace…dealt with hellfire strife

I don’t mean to...

Morning has come, new day is here
Predicaments of all sorts are what lie ahead…
Morning has come, I don’t have fear
Sentiments aren’t manifesting into utter dread…

Morning has come, I have become numb
I lie on the sofa,...

I’ve let everyone down to be exact…
I am a proven-guilty fact (a false fact)
Optimism and pessimism sure have its arms around me at all times
I wish I had a black and white checkered pirate ship...

LETTER TO A SOLDIER
A Trilogy


I.  SONGS OF LOVE

Love walked with me
In the crisp fall air
In a shower of gold and red.
Love showed me the print
Of a doe’s foot
And where she made her bed.

Love sat...

Hm, well, I see you need to give yourself a lot more credit
Than you give yourself daily – you’re modest, I do admit 

You have a witty and clever side in you deep down
What about...

Solace snowflakes fall upon my cheek
Been stressed out throughout the week
Saw the crystalline fractals of ice fall too
When I faced a sentimental winter so true
When I faced a sentimental winter with you

Flurry of snowstorms rush...

I still want you to cradle my clementine cries
I would like you to embrace my eloquent eyes
But, I won’t hold on to your lament-lullaby lies 
Don’t ask me why I want to rub your temples...

Empty sheet a blank canvas
and a wall hanging a screen arras
listen to me—share your journey
why didn't you earn to draft a guernsey? 

Igniting the flame

Focus on the present
You aren’t going to change my mind
Talk to me so decent
You still won’t let my body just unwind

Focus on the present
Hold on tight to me…I found you, you
When your heart bent
And fell...

I walked up to the church
(And I swallowed my pride) 
and asked the lady 
can she please step aside 
That my children are hungry 
 and can you please sacrifice
anything for them to eat 
She...

The mask of shame has made me the monster…must, like Shrek,
I transform into a handsome man momentarily…but I’m a nervous wreck
Rinse away the blood of the innocent 
From your hands…
Grand lands fight against each other…I...

Cast away all doubt and let happiness last
You keep sugarcoating our regrets
Our happiness never came to pass…I’m irritable – 
Was our love sublime or was it a crime? A crime?
I keep lying to myself that...
