When I look at the sky,
It looks back with a dreary gaze.

What are you doing boy?
...

I am just a pawn
in this world of spectacles.
Just waiting for the next dawn
and for the next pair of shackles!
...

Only God knew what he meant
when he stained the paper.
He thought of his days as well spent
when he embodied the words as a shape shifter!
...

I struggle with people
- with emotions that were supposed to be true.
People are akin to journeys
I can't see through.
...

It felt lonely,
In the midst of hundred souls.
None could beget that joy;
One that fills the heart.
...

Even the sun felt like hell
When the moon radiated the earth; like a candle radiating a soul.
When it smelled the moon
Every time the earth passed by.
