My Reflections

I am the 
enigma 
the 
world 
has 
failed to 
understand
i am a 
mystery 
beyond 
my own 
comprehension
i stood 
toe to 
toe with 
the 
agents 
of 
disdain,
and 
smiled.

i 
perpetually 
root for 
the 
underdog.
i dwell 
in the 
underground,unconventional, 
genre.
i'm 
fascinated 
by 
villains.

my 
heart is 
lost on 
an 
island in 
fiji,
i'm 
saving 
up miles 
to re-
unite 
with her.

i'm not 
one for 
conventions, 
but i 
adjust,
i try.
compromise 
has 
always 
been an 
option.
i abhor 
cliches 
but i live 
with 
them.
i've 
never 
been 
content 
with 
mediocre,
but the 
earth 
somehow 
expects,ordinary,
to 
suffice.

Words, 
my tool, 
gift and 
weapon.
i always 
seem to 
be at 
odds 
with the 
elements,
my 
supposed 
wingman.
Money, 
the fuel 
of 
existence,
i desire 
above 
others

In a 
nutshell,
there 
goes my 
reflections.
Rather, 
some of 
it.

Sound of Music

I'm lost in the sound,

lost in the music,

trapped in the decibel,

caged by the keys,

hidden in the rhythm.

The maze of harmony 

complicates my gyrations

controls my movements.

Encore, over and again
is the pattern of this composition

I'm lost in the sound,

i dont wanna be found.

Words From Reality

I just took a moment from my converse with the clouds, the elite of the sky
To relate the with the lay, at my feet
To ascertain the state of things

Oh mortal! How goes thy fate this late?
What fills thy weight with spite?

Ah, I see
It’s in the scenes in the sea
It’s in the kills for the feast
It’s in the beat of defeat

Survival, my fourth cousin
Seems to claim your cause
The blood I desire not.

Love, its antidote
Dwell scarce in the elements

The spirits of the late
Can testify to the fact
That tact, which we lack
Is the key to the earth
Is the seat of the prize

Nature has been good to you
Still, you squabble over its seeds

Money, the fuel of existence
Spills the seed of deceit 
In the midst of your fist.

You become impaired
You deviate from plan
For utopia or its twin.

I’m not an angel
Nor am I your conscience
I’m called reality

And, I’m having a fit.

Along Came Adonis

Her frayed soul revels
for along came Adonis
her pain thus deserts

Eventuality

The loss of reason
fuels the fire of violence
And society Sobs

Amplified Beauty

Amplified beauty characterizes deeply evoked feelings gotten here,
in June's klieg-light,
lighting many nation of plants,
quietly rendering senses towards utopia,
vanquished with xanthophyll.
Yellow zoophytes!!

Quest of Faith

North of here
behind the lighted walls
beyond the hills of cloud
and towers of ruin
lies a land of bliss.

In her coffers, dwell
perpetual serenity
clement elements.

Men can only dream
to sieze this paradise.
But its route and path
is jagged and broken.
Even the water,
threatens to swallow 
her skirt.

She's been called lost
but still, round the 
corner
there may wait a new 
road
or secret gate
that opens her warmth
and reveals her 
splendour.

Shall we commence,
on this quest of faith?

My Rain

Let this rain rain
Let its shower pour
God's supposed blessings


The thunder is drumming
lightening strikes incessantly
the blue sky is downcast
Day has turned to night


Alas,i feel a drop
but that's all i get
For hours,i stare and yearn
For the downpour from above


Unseen hands keep it at bay
Immortal forces deny us of it
My disappointment reaches its peak
I scream out like a pained dog


ALLOW THE RAINS TO ROLL IN!
but to myself do my voice hit
dejectedly,i start to trot away


Alas,i felt two drops
The sky opens and it all falls down


I kneel and savor the rain's cold
The gods must have been listening

Beautiful Meal

my mouth munch with joy
the morsels flee my saucer
my mother's handwork

Faith

Faith, belief in the unknown,
Hope in the unfathomable
Reliance on the uncertain 
Fleeting blessing, sexy mercy
Sweet contempt, I hold you.


The missing line in the rows of 
corn
The implementation raven
The middleman hovering nigh 
and up
Oh knot tightener.


Why do thou elude him?
Your ardent yearner 
The boy-man;
who seeks thy face
The soldier-seer;
who craves thine audience.


What's the grudge unheard?
Why the muteness, why the 
act
Why the wise game of chess?
Why the incessant sign-flash.


Is his spirit stick-Lean
Does the refuse lie with him?
Infant soul, impertinent mind
Elephant heart, vast pate.
Undoings of the co-defendant 


Reveal thee; my desire
Connect me, his sob.
Immerse him, HIS mandate.
Faith, there lies your task
