Worried about the future, not that reassuring
Why does it burn so immensely?
Why does it hurt so lamentably?

a void in foggy darkness, 
the unseen shadow that trails us.

Take a long blank,
Look into the night sky,
Ironically clear as day,
I Inhale.
The air is heated,
Smoke rising,
Sirens in the distance,

Seeping,
Into my very soul,
I feel the...

I know this place
I know it all too well
He is here…

The Walkway of Life

On the walkway we build our dreams
 Dreams not associated with that of today
 Today never to exist in our scoop of plans
 Obviously we are too occupied...

I have a reoccurring dream. 
In this dream I am in a wooden shack, dusted and old. 
I breathe suddenly and deeply regaining consciousness 
As though I was in deep thought, yet nothing fills my...

And one such lone rubble rose,
dusted off and assumed its pose,
started its tour, reaching its pace,

I saw a side of a friend

and it was reoccurring 
Publicly placed 
with a spaced face 
I said excuse...
