Too Late
He, beseeching –
I raised my pleading eyes
as I saw you pass by.
You looked through me.
I was invisible.
My eyes searched
for understanding.
You did not say “I’m sorry.”
You busied your nose in your phone.
My thirst apparent yet

In her momma´s clothes she´s all dressed up,
Feeds her doll from a little teacup.
She´s married to Mr. Teddy Bear,
With one eye that was lost somewhere.
It´s her pink world, that’s in...

Afraid I'm!I'm new to the scars
They look so harsh
And now I wonder
about the upcoming thunder
Afraid I'm?
Afraid to surrender!
I'm new to the burns
My serenity, looks like they yearns
And now I wonder
about the upcoming blunder
Afraid...

Heart devoured by The ArtAnd one day
Out of the blue I wondered,
about those million little sacrifices that have been made
Because of which, the desires burning inside
Had no option other than to fade
How many times, the times not liable...

When It RainsThey all run with their heads down,
staring at the ground,
in a hurry, in a scurry,
as if they looked up they'd drown,
I know they're just trying to keep dry,
but for me...

The Mouse With A HatThe mouse with the hat ran
to me doing combat,
They made me feel short and fat,
I just wanted to eat cheese and chat,
I always dreamed I'd be an American aristocrat,
My reflection...

Pleasure n Pain
Pleasure, pain
Weave through the fabric of days
Two threads intertwine
Pulling on opposite sides
One soft as dawn’s first light
The other, sharp as twilight
Cutting through the silence
In the dance of oppression
We taste the sweetness only after the...

A Handful of HopeThe skeletal dome,?
a ghost of Hiroshima's pain,?
stands against the sky.
A child's hand,?
small and delicate,?
traces the curve of a crane.
Paper wings unfold,
?a fragile hope,
?a plea for peace....

Painfully numbShe stares into nothing,
Like when she looks in the mirror.
Not recognising what she’s seeing,

The clearness became distorted,
It became everything she feared.
And all that fear had left her haunted,
Wondering if...

I spent my days in a cage and my nights in a rage
And all I could ever say was what I’d been told.
Every few weeks, when there was...

The Pain In My Mother's EyesDrops are flowing in streaks of blood
Mother's face is stained in red
Like a canvas harshly painted
Her stomach looks weary
Her breasts lay weak,
Like she's gone through a marathon to be with me
Mother says "Time is of...

Listening To Your HeartThe pain wakes me,
Late at night,
As the voices in my knee,
Breaks my heart.
As your heart speaks,
Always remember you are,
Stronger than you know,
Braver than you think,
You are a warrior and a survivor.
Yet, remember to always...
