From the ashes of the never before, 
Lacking symbol, nor take to guide,
A Phoenix rises from storied lore,
In a portent of thrashing hide. 

Trumpets are a pathetic symbol,
For the lack of mind within the echelons,
Who...

Now that life has slipped away like a dream through the clock of deep silence,
I’ve admitted myself into my verses as into a sanctuary of illusions and shadows,
the nurses are night birds that do not...

I wont let you get hurt, even if I get burnt 
If I hear you cry It will make me die

A new day perhaps, of immeasurable tin, sound of din
A hurricane noise, a thrall of riotous cuts, although thin
The blood-curdle choke of rage from before
Now purchased like plasma from the needle store
Go hump yourself, If...

My feet touch the ground but there’s no feeling, I’m numb to my senses only my consciousness remains
I’m lost on my journey,...

With spacetime ripples
come dark energy waves
Emanating from the ether
tainted forces hold me slave
What sort of person
fly’s kites after dark
One with many issues
hiding Cains invisible mark

Left to wander miasma
blind man at controls
Free will is human delusion
We’re...

The Wandering of a Dead Man
I move slowly, like a lost soul, a walking dead,
My vision, foreign, no longer belongs to me,
It is merely that of a human animal, an unwitting heir
Of Greek culture, Roman...

The moons and the tides
Strongly coincide,
Pulling up and away,
Tugging the sand from the bay.
My mind is a lot like the sea in that way.
It dips and it falls,
It falters and it crawls,
But then sometimes learns...

Leave free agents alone
Bully
For they’ve got no time to be the clone
You hurt truly and deeply

In games without aim
Where you torture and suture at will
Treating victims the same
Way happiness you steal

To boost your roost
Bereft of...

“Fear Mongers”

Newspapers yelling, 
TVs screaming,
Radios blaring.
Is this what we want?
Is this what we need?

Politicians lying,
Preachers ranting,
Black men dying,
Mothers crying.
Is this what we want?
Is this what we need?

Breaking news,
More breaking news.
Shootings here,
Robberies there,
More mothers crying.
Is this...

All by myself, alone, I softly chant your name,
 Own up for our defunct weeping bond and I take the blame.
It was our love very pure and not lusty lure,
Unsure, kaput and insecure I thirstily...

On the heights of despair, where light falls askew,
I rise through the abyss of thoughts as through a dream,
The whole world is an absurd song, without meaning,
And yet, behold, my foes, the mountains do not...

Poem, I thought is just play of words and syllable
As breakfast of juice and toast laid out on table
Was fiancee's maiden breakfast, joined in dress with lapel

Time forgotten,
Crystal rain and tangerine skies
Two became one
Tender hands caressing her skin
Thrilling her softness

With promises of forever
Lovers love
And dreamers’ dream
Hearts beating in rhythm 
As a new day rises

The time is gone
Acrid tears and caustic taunts
Calloused...

Amid a tempting generation
Is the presence of extreme desecration
History beckons on history
Evil now occupies mans memory
Where is love?
Where is peace?
What has affected mankind like a disease
In the land,i search for purification
Only to behold with mine...

Addicted to dream 
Although failed many times 
But some of them came true 
So want to dream more 
Without a dream can't find any aim 
Without aim can't move further 
Although slipped many times 
But...

Talkative


Lady romantic came shaking bag green
Her habit is different mixing without aim
Not care of colleagues what they are talking 
Starts to leave gossip as if bullet train

Red lipstick in purple lip is her favorite color
Green...

Lewis, Y.K 

I’m alone in the mornings with only shadows to greet me. Silence
is all around me. Wait I hear something, every once in a while
noticing it, it’s just that lowly...

In the abyss of gazes, where silence screams mute and deep,
The chasm stares back, a vortex gathering abstract emotions,
I offer it my fears, aspirations, and unspoken truths,
It swallows them all, leaving an unyielding void in...

Gimme a break, Drake
In the space I own 
In May, June or July to rake
In tonnes of peace without the groan

That serves no useful purpose
In the scheme of strategies I adopt
To rid my life of...

Write me a song that lasts forever
That matches the evil that men do
So I can recall the times of happiness
That take me away from today’s chaos

Write me lyrics that don’t glorify bedlam
But tells me of...

I see you staring, invading the very essence of my dreams.
Flaring and expressive -
your wild and un-tamed prejudice spilling
all across your face, like streams running wild,
wicked without aim.

You are the night that claws at the...
