THERE WILL NEVER BE ANOTHER...

There will never be another to hold my hands and walk with me through the dark ditches,
There will never be another to kiss away my tears, while I'm wallowing in my well of woes,
...

The past is like a garden of roses, rustling with roses, tearful with thorns,
The air rosy with flowery fragrances, the flower bed spurting with spines,
Do not fear the past, the past was painful but also gainful with greeny growth,
The past is precious to the present, the past is a phase the present has to peer into.
...

I want to sculpt silver out of stones to build you a perfect pearly pendant wrapped in the warmth of the shivering sun,
I want you to wear the necklace upon your chest, thrice my confidence,
Chisel out my craftiness with your condensed charisma crushed with a good character.
...

There are demons playing a game of soccer inside my head,
My heart thumps up and down like the drippy dews at dawn,
Fear of the unknown devours me up like a confused victim,
I put all of my pains into a cute little pouch inside my heart,
...

Lyrical lines wafting through the air,
Euphonic beats, therapeutic to the soul,
Melodious verses, magical with voices,
Mellifluous flow from the heart of heaven,
...

In the sad lines scrawled on my lips, there is a poem pretty and petite,
In the way the dawn drags the days with the dusk, a poem is painted,
At the Gate Of Hades, the devil and his cohorts writes eulogies,
At the Staircase Of Heaven, the angels recites poems sweet like manna,
...

He treads the crooked paths with him,
Deep into the forest of fallen warriors,
As the wind wails, this creature cries,
The sun is out, this furry being wags his tail.
...

WHAT HAPPENED TO US?

What happened to us?
What happened to our bond so thick?
...

Before I exude this world of wars and worries
Hold me close in your gentle loving arms
Before I exit this loveless life of lies and lust
Hold me tight in your tender arms with love
...

When there is love,
A plate of rice will end this reign of hunger
When there is love,
A glass of water will wet away our thirst
...

INNER PEACE

I found my Inner peace in my pen and paper,
I found my Inner peace in my inky scribbles,
...

MY OLD SCARS STILL HURTS...

My old scars still hurts me, though I'm healing bits by bits and my hopes are howling,
My old wounds are swollen with sufferings, whipped upon my back like a black slave,
...

GATHER THE ROSEBUDS NOW...

Gather the rosebuds beneath the pearly snow,
Beneath the snow balls vibrating with energy,
...

YOU ARE THE ANSWER

You are the answer to the question jingling in my heart like the bell of a watchtower,
The question I ask myself whenever a new day dawns and the sky changes into scarlet,
...

What About Love Songs?

I try to let go of your hands and unbind the bracelets of lust,
But my palms gets clammy with my sweats and your crocodile tears,
...

IN MY SILENCE

In my silence, I speak volumes of words,
On my stoic face, expressions are crafted,
...

24/7 HOUR LOVE..

You promised me a whole 24/7 hour of true love,
Through out our days, we will fly on Cupid's back,
...

HEARTBREAK SONGS ARE BETTER..

When I left your side, all hubristic but
enfeebled,
...

WHAT ABOUT ME?

What about me and the hurts in my heart?
What about everything I've been through?
...

PANGS OF PAIN

There are pangs of pain prickling my heart,
There are rhythms of pain tingling my soul,
...
