i was at the risk of love'
while walking on a rough love rug,
all eyes went blind
as the the light lost it smile,
...
Who will exhume Judas
Though peter on the sea
Having being glut in a deep blue sea
And ashes in place of petals
...
Oh comes swiftly the night
night ushering my heart
to where you are
making stick my legs to a point round
...
There is a needy kitchen
Not faraway the rich bin
There are sicking pots
With tommy up and lizards casting lots
...
Sodom rebirth
Gomorrah in birth
Sodom in fashion parade
Gomorrah busy with her trade
...
I have walked a very long miles
I have so many tears in dept of my smiles
All my race seems boring
Nowhere seems alluring
...
Love has veiled me
In reality love failed me
Love blinded my heart to see
The sharp pain of one sided love
...

We're stranded on a train of freedom
Though, we thought we've gained freedom
...
My home lives in me,
All I have all but lost my me
Musical concerto telegraphing the air
With distuned note of home calls that filled my ear
...
The rose flower, petals soft as whispered dawn,
Yet when you grasp its stem,
Its thorny nature is revealed—
Pain in beauty's guise, I call it.
...
When it's dawn,
And coolness embraces
The sweet tone of a singing bird,
And the beauty of a still flowing water
...
Fire quenched by romantic dance of water
Whose garment full of ecstasy
Blooming the shame of a singing fire
Silently diminished the tone of pride singer
...
Caught singing a love song,
Born from my deepest heart,
No rhythm rivals its pulse,
Its pitch a soaring crescendo.
...
I heard birds singing lullaby for my child;
I heard weaver birds harmoniously singing lullaby for my heart.
What song it is, I don't know,
Only the heart can interpret the birds lullaby song.
...
Today I pen a heartfelt ode,
A journey of friendship, pure and bright.
Memories glow like sunlit rays,
Binding us in bonds of timeless light.
...
In the hyenas' kingdom,
Leopards are chief judges,
And hungry lions hold supremacy—
A war between the unknown and the known.
...
.
Blood of cowries
Innocently shed
Meanwhile, a white ram is laid
...
I have sold the peace
For just one gold piece
I have laid aside my fear
After all i got from life wasn't enough fair
...
My race of black
Inmate of klutziness in mind
Trapped in act of thick black
So much to tell, yet no one mind
...

Love Bridge
i was at the risk of love'
while walking on a rough love rug,
all eyes went blind
as the the light lost it smile,
natures filled with singing tears
and no man to withstand my broken heart
when ocean rise
and the thunder roar
I stick my heart to wait
till the bridge joined
now my heart glee
in the beauty of your love
though once lost,
but now find...
your heart us the love bridge
that joins you and me together.
your creativity is immense!
