Little Brother

I used to smile

every time you came back home

I never knew

that to you

I was just being clueless

I thought I was your little brother

but I had to wonder

when I heard

the truth by uncle

that you are an imposter

there was no other

you had to go and pretend

how long have you known ?

No ! I won’t be fooled again

you should have told me yourself

but no it is the end

your little brother don’t exist

now stay I insist

you can say that I am cold

yet it was from me a life you stole

sorry mama I love you

but this betrayer has got to go

never mind that I’ll hit the road …

A Peace In My Mind

I watching the sunset somewhere

oh my but it does look lovely

if I were a criminal

the police will probably bug me

darling I’m coming home to you

so come and hug me

go on sleep my wife

I’ll watch over you

because I am your hubby

I’m glad I promised

I will be rid of the bubbly

yes it brought quite a bit in me

the good ,the bad

and the ugly

no guts

no glory

this is the end of the story

Tortured Tortoise

I ventured into us
Without any outcome in mind
I was content at the time
Happiness was the bottom line
Nothing could prepare me for this
The fire was put out of our bliss
How did we come to this
Unbearable twist
It is impossible to know
That love once did exist
Caught 
in the confusion and mist
It is hard to forge 
any reasonable outcome
Which way is the right way
A clouded judgment 
could be detrimental
It is so hard and my heart ache
Lord why did you forsake
Is it something I did in the past?
Is something I miss at present?
I can't see clearly
My heart is too broken 
I'm teary eyed
I was brave 
to suggest separation
The truth is I am terrified
I was dumb and bold
But your grudge 
is just stone cold
I tried 
to resuscitate 
a talk with you
It was in vain
All listening 
supply was cut off
Spending my time in silence
It feels to difficult
It beats strained words 
to an unwilling ear
In the past I never minded 
the odd behavior 
here and there
But now protecting 
my interest 
will be my resolve
Our disagreement 
seem to pile up
It seems never solved
It's way more than pride
It hurts inside
I have been through struggling
This is internal suffering
How long will I be 
subjecting myself to this hurt
I was brave enough 
to embrace the fire
It feels too late for me 
because I got burnt

Baby Steps

Such soft and tender hands
see your parents
smile at you at first glance

We were here
with your first words
we were here
when you first start to crawl
we caught you
when you had your first fall
and then you learned to walk

We are here for you
since you learned to ride bicycle
don’t worry when you fall
just dust yourself off
and try again

Baby steps
is all you need to take
in achieving things in life
one step at a time babba
you can hurry to your pappa

I am here for you

The Realm

Human nature is the cause
we can never ascend
but I want to go to the realm
a place much more
scary than I would like to pretend
a place where angels
and demons are in conflict
to me it would be
a weird tourist attraction
I won’t be taking photos
I would want to be
part of the action
of course the battle
would only be for the divine
that is why
I fight them in my mind
what if one day
it would materialize
a feat to be realized

One of Those Wonders

Through strength

I found love

in time I’ll find what I was looking for

I feel like a man at a bar

that has been there for too long

it is going to take a lot

to drag me away from the counter

there is nothing that a thousand men can ever do

I will fight for you

listen to my heart every time you want to run away

I am doing time

taking my mind right back to you

when I hear that whistle blow

it is those wonders

when you listen to meddling rain

let me love you

heart of darkness is brought to the light with your love

I know your troubled heart let me blow your cares away

Thoughts of a Father

It’s all in my head
I think about it over again
When you three are all 
Older and with friends
I wish every day you wake up
That it is a clear blue sky
I know you have wondered why
I never shared in your lives
Yes, me too
I can’t take it
I can’t shake it
One day when you wake up
I’ll have to say goodbye
But while I’m still alive
Rest assured
If GOD is above me
He gives me strength
For all you know I’ll provide and love you three
Until the day I close my eyes
Thoughts of a father
These feelings I harbour
Stored away in an emotional jar
Viewing it now on the display cabinet
It is real freedom of scars…

A Letter To Fate

Dear fate

I’m writing a letter

so that you come

take me faster

in whatever form

a lot of fights

a lot of scars

a lot of ups

a lot of downs

mama prepare for homecoming

I coming home

with the midnight express

I’ll be on my way…

there is nothing here for me anymore

only that I miss you more

the last time I go to sleep

will be the day I awake

and see you again

Sanctuary II

It has been twelve years
Every one of those years
I have been turned away 
by officials of the city
Twelve long years 
of being on the housing waiting list
Being the only breadwinner
Times got tougher 
To my children I imagine 
that to them 
I am a failure in many ways
No where for me to seek refuge
The only way is inside my head could convince me otherwise
What do you say to a 
man living with cerebral palsy?
Who has to proof himself on all fronts
Spiritually it becomes draining 
in a one room flat
He becomes out of touch 
with those immediate loved ones
Wife then kids or vice versa
All freedoms are compromised
Specially the kids
As a physical impaired man
I am not much affected 
Considering my boarding school days
It becomes tough 
when it is an all female club
And I am the only male 
and physically impaired
Mentally the impact takes its toll
There is a heaviness within me
I cannot seem to find an outlet
That's why I'm living on a page
Out of control
I wear this crown of thorns
Upon my liars chair
Full of broken thoughts 
I cannot repair
If you see me smiling 
It is a front 
this is how I deal with my pain
Many second job attempts fail
I am beginning to doubt myself
I sometimes stare at myself in the mirror
My wife's take on it 
is that I am full of myself 
That may be the case
It runs much deeper than that
Maybe I am taking her 
too much along with me
But I can't help it we are close knit family 
The Lord has blessed me
With three daughters
They could write 
a book about me 
one day if they are aspiring authors
along with my wife as their editor
Poetry is my only sanctuary 
My world in black and white
I silently wish for all those material things
Things that is out my grasp of understanding
Why some of us
gets it easy and others hard
Is there a lesson 
to us that are disenfranchised 
or are we nearing our expiry date?
Hey, it is just a thought 
along with my perception of things
Who gets to build us up?
When you hit rock bottom 
What is the bottom line?
What if we get to that helpline too late?
What will they say in your obituary
Were you worthwhile living with
Or were you known to be a prick
Only time will tell
Poetry is my only sanctuary 
My world in black and white

Escape From Wonderland

On the run, again
Being chased by rogue police
I got to protest
That I’m innocent
I’m a law-abiding criminal
I mean citizen
On the last exit to wonderland
I ended up all banged up in hospital
After this constant battle
With guns and knives
Another one bites the dust
On my hospital bed, I’m reminiscing
Of how many friend’s I lost
To this urban war
I thank God
That I don’t drink Bourbon anymore
Side effects lets me land face first on the floor
So, that chapter of my life I had to close the door
I’m currently checking my final score
I’m not going back to the lab again
I went from vegetable to a surgical guinea pig
Talk about Frankenstein’s worse nightmare
I’m out again now you can stop and stare…
