Broken

Wandering into an abyss So empty and dark, Shadows go invisible Every step leaves a mark In the heart, On the mind, Making the vision A little blind. Words unspoken Or those spoken... Haven't ever been So loud and clear; And into a million tiny, Tiny decibels, broken. Syllables, each one Equally brutal Shattered, like … Continue reading Broken →

Roses are Red; Violets are Blue

This composition of mine is in response to another poem by a dear friend (mentioned below). I gazed into the forbidden abyss with mesmerized eyes And discovered true bliss like on a mountain-peak at sunrise... The roses bloom, the clouds evanesce away Everything seems new; and yet again, love's on its way... Yes, I'm smiling; … Continue reading Roses are Red; Violets are Blue →

Reflections & Shadows

It's been a while... I've spoken From the heart Made life worthwhile; As life moves on And time flies by Present becomes the past And disappears like a firefly. I look back Reflect on shadows of the past, Sentiments On my heart An eclipse they cast. I run, at times, I fall I hide and … Continue reading Reflections & Shadows →

Lash-Out

I've had enough; I can't take it 'nymore It's all over; nothin' ain't like before The meteoric magnificence; Those dreams with happiness galore I stand here by the river; my eyes now sore My mind imprinted with angry thoughts Traded for all the happy ones my heart once bought Emotions build up inside me bubbling … Continue reading Lash-Out →

Prisoner of the Heart

I knew love was for real and its magic was trueWhen for the first time I met you! You captured my heart and its every beat, Making me long for us to meet. Overpowering feelings and emotions from which I try to part... Unsuccessful; I am now a prisoner of the heart. I lose control … Continue reading Prisoner of the Heart →

Gone

I stare out the window, point-blank, at the night sky, What a perfect night! Stars twinkling, not a cloud in sight. Memories of my dear ones flood my mind and make me cry. It seems so inconceivable; they're no more, They're not returning after the night. What lies beyond the sky, beyond its endless horizon … Continue reading Gone →

Where I Truly Belong

Take me back to where my heart truly belongsThe place that holds memories fondLet me re-live those childhood daysStrengthen the ties with my long lost friends, tighten the bond. Take me back to where my heart truly belongsThe view around the city has changed but viewers remain the sameIt's people that maketh a placeNo matter … Continue reading Where I Truly Belong →

The Unsolved Mystery

What a mystery thou art! I try to solve the riddle part by part; And as the sands of time swiftly flow... Hope I'll be able to take the harsh winter's blow. The depth your eyes portray, Makes me wanna dive right into it, rather than walk away. It so hurts me to see the … Continue reading The Unsolved Mystery →

A Beautiful Fantasy

I wish I could hold that "special" handLay down in the moonlight, looking at the stars on the warm beach sandFollowed by an endless quiet stare into that "special someone's" eyesA glimpse into his soul, trying to put away my cries! Unspoken silence and an unexpressed feelingEvery moment without him leaves my heart achingToo many … Continue reading A Beautiful Fantasy →
