waiting to see you againi sit alone and wait to see you again,
eyes weary from my vigil.
neighbors' rustling reminds me
of the world passing by,
but nothing distracts me
from the prison of thought.
in my mind i am lonely,
in the crowd even lonelier.
but the color i see
in this stale black & white
is that of your eyes
miles away from me,
the blue sky under...

The Jungle Untamed"Lost, in a fight for survival, a man refuses to succumb to a harsh wilderness." - quote by poet.
A great aerial adventure comes to
A harrowing end for one man.
His hot air balloon malfunctions;
It comes crashing down in the middle
Of a...

Rebirth of the SoulWhen the mind faltered
Alternate timelines were born
Lines of realities blurred
Rifts of possibilities torn
Truth fading into the abyss
Chained to the unknown
Silently waiting for life's kiss
To shatter this stone cold throne
Provoking thy swarming thoughts
Clawing and scratching for the one
Blinded by hopes deemed naught
Until one's dreams are none
Walls shaking and quaking
Slashing and ripping
Sharpening newfound wings
Clutches of chaos beating
Sealing...

Self-imprisonedIn this abyss, where senses fade,
A labyrinth of fears, eyes stick to spade
A choice self-made, a soul betrayed,
In pale moonlight, a tearful price is paid
Man without a shrine, longing for time,
A barren altar, with no falter, heart in chains,
Death’s embrace, leaves no trace,
Echoes remain, whispering in pain.
Silence.
No more pain.
In bleakest dreams, her face indiscernibly...

Ode to St Korvin“For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ.” (Galatians 1:10)
In exile ‘midst the southern timbers’ walls,
My chamber bleeds the candle’s dimming thralls.
Upon the midnight blaze, I weep in vain,
Awaiting courts beneath Islamic reign.
For mother’s...

VICTORY DESTINEDA person’s actual name Victory
Surrounding story
Struggles after another
Each situation different from the other
Going from one chapter onward
Defeat moments felt a violent Thunderstorm
It seemed like a detour to nowhere
Darkness seemed to surround every situation
Trapped in uncertainty
Suddenly a turnaround
Circumstances an onward approach
Unstoppable
Pressure lifted off
There was a force of victory on a direct course
No more darkness just brighter...

Careless MomentsI should have grinned when morning came
Atop posts of gaping day, with lunatics
Humming dirges of a broken world.
I remained glued to my gloom.
Rising from the pit of hell, I held
Concupiscent cats hostage.
The course of their waning speed of flight
Harmed my precisions.
From a boanerges' point of view,
Fierce elocution dampened by grey voids of
Unassailable haunts cripple the...

SOLACESlowly
I walk along old path
Miles and miles up the hill
Until the sunset wraps the sky
In red flames
The river beneath
Flows peacefully
Its tranquil embraces my being
Into a shy silence
My anxious mind wants to rest
Birds around sing about life
So detached is the soul
From the body
As if you are eternal
Timeless moment
Beyond toxic reality
Longing for something
I am missing -
Your tender...

Ode on Afternoon ThoughtsAt the afternoon solitude sphere,
Every sweet-lane empty seem,
The sun on the top with chirruping hear,
Dark in the room out it deem.
The pressure hits passive-pace,
All nervous gain, sense confuse,
The white-pale depressive-face
Look at mirror to know cause.
Head-ache fills in mind's acres,
Alone eyes still on some fills,
Heart seize with harmful-hackers,
Mild-mourn more remain in miles.
The unpair-unfulfil life led down,
Fall...

How the Heart ForgesI wake—
each dawn
a slender promise
shoulders gilded,
by hesitant sun.
The world, wide as longing
real as the air I breathe—
crests of mountains waiting
horizons keeping their counsel.
My heart, uncertain…. ventures
like a melodic wind carried on—
searching for a sign
where wonder grows wild within.
Between the strums of my old guitar
and laughter in morning dew
I surrender:
each note of yesteryear
kindles today’s quiet lesson
A...

The Man She LovedA queen banished from the land she loved
She is still treated with the respect due her
Yet all she can do is watch out a window
Hoping to someday be allowed home
To walk among the people she treasured
And, once again, be with the man she loves

Solo HeartAm I wrong?
Always drifting left when the world turns right,
Like a compass drawn to storms instead of light.
Am I wrong?
For trusting the beat of my own internal song,
Even if silence is the chorus all along.
I move to the rhythm only I hear,
Not chasing thrill rides...
