Sleepless dreams
barefooted anger
hands to mouth life
that you tore apart
Hapless and clueless
dying questions on the lips
churn in the stomach
clammy palms
up in a prayer
Tag: Earth
The source
You lose your loved ones
Deadly sharp stabs pierce my heart
You scream and cry yourself hoarse
Tears spill from my eyes
You writhe with the pain unknown
I seek its source in the frantic nights
You give up on life
I shut my eyes and die.
Everyone
Everyone is an island
there are neither wings
nor paddles to cross
this ocean of fear!
Everyone is watching
there are neither words
nor voice of comfort!
Hang on tightly
onto the rainbow of hope
with the eyes shut
exult in the existence.
Absent
They lay beneath the layers
some seen and some absent
some quiet and some noisy
the fingers tremble
when trying to uncover the remnants
that send the shivers
down the spine
the feet freeze
the lights vacate
the eyes
Minus the Victor and the Vanquished
The greed wears the cloaks
and the fires that it stokes;
while the innocents choke !
The age old stories repeat
The tragedies happen
To possess, or to wait and watch, or to let it go?
These three questions hold the key to the future
Momentary are the victories
And so are the defeats!
But the destructions remain forever
the scars on the face of earth
and in the heart of the collective consciousness
The victor and the vanquished
both leave the alley of dead.
