All i need is an escape
...Who knew you were an ammunition,
A camouflage with a malice!
I'm still numb from the revelation
No matter how much I try
I'm afraid that I might risk walking the path
that killed all my dream...

And like a sullen ...

The Long Withering
...This river is full of bodies,
dead fish, dead fishermen.
This river crumbles its banks,
it invades in trickles,
sluggishly it engulfs.

The Sun Sets

Rolling sluggishly
In the exiting tide
There is a joy to it
Frolicking in the froth
Of soap suds surf
We play our parts
In the evening reverie

She sits on her soft fluffy bed, resting her limbs before she starts her day.
Rethinking her preceding dream, hoping the images won’t fade away.
She watches the clock...

Sophie, our cocker spaniel set the pace.
She was an only child.
We were barely moving back then – sluggishly slow.

It feels like I am falling into a deep blue lake
Of a baby’s eyes.

Darkness consumes me like smoke,
Smothering light and extin...

When it drags along sluggishly
Or draws back in its shell out of fear.
But what do you say of one
Who competes with a turbo jet
And makes friend with a sledge hammer?
