Your heart, your space, your life  It’s yours kept it clean, keep it free Only the right occupants can access the space  It’s yours to control, never for others Understanding the fragility of its mainframe Deciding who visits and who takes a tour Exercising caution with disclosing its tour guide Allowing only authorized access to […]

You envisioned creating Your clone Designed from dust and water Carved to mimic Your shadows Yet no life no steam, just vacuum Through Your words came oxygen The molecules of Your words Flowed into this lifeless statue Cells formed, veins filled, arteries pumping Tendons, muscles, nerves clinging to bones All systems connected at full capacity […]

When time ticks, time soars When days tick years roll When years arrive it’s a birthday  Could it define your look?  Could it represent knowledge grade? Could it determine your empire? Dwelling in the history of your past Searching for treasures of past years Reviewing the catalog of your history  Questioning your contribution to existence  […]

Could it be one that drains value? Slyish cordiality gainfully zapping love  Stepping in and out of allies shadows  Replacing appearances with the disappearance  Appearing in boom yet missing in drought Cajoling words out just to feed itchy ears Projecting false interest in matters arising Pretending to be in the oblivion of pretense  Preparing agenda […]

So fickle and mysterious  Unapologetic and proud Decides its own adventures Embracing and lashing simultaneously  Drilling holes in hearts without a plug Fascinating to only admirers  Creating vacuums only it can fill Causing shifts and quakes  Leaving scars like keloids Produces joy and sadness simultaneously  Appearing complex yet so so simple  It drains the appetite and […]

Sitting with jaws dropping, stunned  Lying awake with flashes of regret After the worries, it’s just you and me Struggling in phases of past despair After the turmoil, it’s just you and me Listening to deafening sounds of impossibility  After the noise, it’s just you and me The case that lingered against my cause After […]

The landscape of her heart is occupied with illusions and imageries Pallets of pressures make her dreams unborn, Her desires linger on a perforated surface of life Is her dream yet unborn? A rhetorical question she utters Fate has its turn  Fate plays his part in the scenes The planting is done The gestation projected […]
