They blinded me,
saying the world has none but evil to see.
They took away my tongue,
saying the world has just poisoned tongues to hear,
...

open your eyes to the swollen rainbow,

standing undrenched in the morning light.
...

neither as dark falling down ceding time,
nor the light showing the truthful lies.
element none alive can live this fact,
for am the one with the sourcing act.
...

I am waiting for that one moment,
When I live fearless and happy,
When my laugh is innocent and people are kind,
When I don’t get killed because I believe in a different god,
...

An unbroken line of endless silence,
Seeping through the formless pores of time,
The conscious, unconscious of itself,
The end of both the start and the end,
...

Moments when fancied dreams are lost to fiery flames,
Seconds seeded with sultry songs, unheard screams,
Hazy moments lost in your bosom,
Suckling turns to strife, the damned damsel in dread,
...

a million lifetimes,
those moments of silence,
hanging between your question and her answer,
like a train rushing towards the suicide wish,
...

swift does the radical feminist smite,
a gentle reminder everywhere to repent for crimes not done,
perpetual hatred for a forgotten purpose,
whilst shout for empowerment drowns the call for equality,
...

The moon just came up bright,
and the world was filled with light,
I woke up to a different day.
...

A treaded path of crumbling gravel,
With scent of roses in humble travel,
locked on pain are my tainted senses,
tightly bound in unmade fences,
...
