Gabriel Gana Poem
Wandering through the plains
Lost in plain sight
Famed for loneness
Borne into misery
The abandoned zeta
Chastened by pain and sorrow.
The bane of the lonewolf ;his curse
Cursed to be alone
Wandering in his thoughts
Screaming out in his mind
Cursed to walk alone
All love lost.
Will the lonewolf escape his fate?
Will he bud and sprout?

Gabriel Gana Poem
Citadel of hope
I rest in thee
From these lonesome troubles
A flame burns in my heart
A small flame it is
But it keeps me warm in this cold world
It keeps me company on dreary and weary days
It tells me all is gonna be alright
I trust in you flame in my heart
But I fear deep down, the day the flame burns out on its last jar of gasoline
What will be left of me when it runs out
Will I be able to pass through each dreary day
Cos my heart breaks so easy
Cos am so sensitive to pain
I pray you never run out my soothing flame

Gabriel Gana Poem
I chose to love
Embraced bitter sweet love
My mind's patched
My heart's banded up
Yet it heals to be fibrosed
To never beat like before
All a consequence of loving
Loving has never been more difficult
But do I still will to love
You are damn right , I do
Cos it's my way out of a dystopian life
Love's hurts are like butter to bread compared to my dystopian woes
Finding love was always a daydream until I grew wings and escaped back to reality
You don't know how many times I died inside in loneliness
You can't fathom my heavy burdens
I have appeared all fresh superficially but deep down I dessicated multi-ply
Love was my savior, my guarding grace

Gabriel Gana Poem
I was good to u
But to you I was only good enough to be used
I cared for you deeply
I told myself I had forgive u if u ever cheated
I told myself I had run after u even if u got married , but twas all a lie
I will always have a soft spot for you but u have stabbed me in the back
U wrecked me bad
It's time to move on
I hear the alarm bells
Thinking of you is pain
Love is vain
I guess I will be all alone on my deathbed
Having lost all trust

Gabriel Gana Poem
As I embrace the void
The void swallows me whole
The sentient sense of nothingness fills my heart
The void hates light as the light blinds the void
I get really dark fantasies in the void
Pain reigns supreme in the void
Persistent loneness lies in the void
My dear, am sorry I belong to the void
Never wished to taint u with my darkness
Having lost my will to the void, the void keeps me prisoner
The lord of the void shackled me down hitherto
Living like an empty shell
Can't describe my downcast dark emotions
The void showed me my end
And it haunts me in the darkness of the void
Yet I cannot hide my endless love for you
Maybe my love for you will drag me out of the void to ethereal light

Gabriel Gana Poem
O familiar stranger tormenting my mind,
Why do you hide behind the veils?
Why did you act so apathic when you stood in my presence ?
Why do you strike me from behind as a vermin?
And cut through my flesh masking your face.
You deny me your identity until my last gasp.
You, a wolf hid as do sheep in my flock.
A camouflaged enemy in plain sight you were,
But vicious was your unforgiving strike.
As I lay in my pool of blood ,
And choke on it , I whisper breathlessly;
Alas, I have met my mortal end.
P.S[A reimagined rendition of Julio Cesar's dying thoughts]

Gabriel Gana Poem
Victory to the champ, who perseveres through it all
One smelted and refined through life's red-hot furnace
Who was all beaten down and yet clawed his way back each and every time.
Cheers to our friends who battled internal demons in secret.
And yet sought not the "easy way out."
For they held on to life through all travails.
Cheers to the villains who cursed at us with bitterness.
For they only propelled us to greater plains.
Though we passed through the eye of the needle
We yet cherished the precious, priceless gift of life.
For life's a path fraught with despair at each and every turn, but we sought a greater tomorrow.
Ever telling ourselves, "Things can only get better."
No matter how scared we were, it was our mantra.
Seeking out green pastures in pestilence and drought
Cheers to the ones who blessed us with their fellowship at each phase of our lives.
They taught us life's integral lessons.

Gabriel Gana Poem
I lost my way on a dark alley
Where I faced endless crossroads
And made a pact with my resolve
I had picked the void as my way
Then I was lost, down and shaky
Yet salvation awaits, an avenue off this space-black path
Its light warms my feet
Carving trails back to the source of creation
I find joy along these trails
Knowing within myself
Victory is near

Gabriel Gana Poem
The raging waves of life toss her side to side.
Though she tries to live,
she’s left with only the will to survive.
She can’t say her efforts have been enough,
having shoved hard against the currents,
yet swallowed whole by the deep blue sea.
Still, she is proud of her flailing efforts,
for she fights for her will to live.
She needs more strength.
Anyone, give her an iota of it.
But even the loudest thoughts
cannot be heard.
