Reason, Murdered slowly We watched your clearness burn Screams of your innocence piercing, Cold nights. Pure rest Serenity, Dipped in a bit of rage Madness conquered your quiet soul Ill times Ill times. Your death stinks of, Chaos dragged in evil Your death traps us in sin city, Corrupt… Reason, Murdered slowly A dirge for […]

I see the look on tomorrow’s face She’s heard the news as well. She’ll tell my mother with compelling grace because she’s never heard of hell. Today says it’s in the pain And finds drugs to that effect Then blames it on the stain That comes with embracing reject. Tonight says it’s like a cunning […]

I starred with teary anger at the plate of beans Sike dropped on the ragged mat. “What it is this?” I asked her, choking back the angry tears that welled up from the hungry depths of my stomach. The beans must have been the capital city of weevils in the neighborhood. They had big crack […]

Marry you? That would be a spoiler! Don’t get me wrong, I want with you, a forever You leave me sprung, After a thought and a shudder But, marry you? That would be a spoiler! See, you are beautiful, Beyond oaths and promises Marriage is dutiful, Duty exists not in our premises All these hearts […]

If it’s coming down on me it’d be the weight of the debris. With eyes wide open We still living in the dark. They say the promises are broken, I say arrest the ones who believed them. If tomorrow and the next were a gift, some of us won’t receive them. It’s gathered in a […]

Yesterday came back pointing fingers, Pointing fingers at the debts we owe. We owe today to finish tomorrow, Tomorrow may never be enough to begin. To begin heaping memories and wishes, And wishes are mere fair weather friends. Friends, some sort, never do comprehend. Do comprehend that yesterday would return …[W]ould return with pinned paper […]

The night was young before it turned dark. Wornout feelings left their mark, When grey is now my favourite colour. Familiar tracks now run cold. Age is a number meant for the bold. I’ve stored some advice in my memory’s folder, Wisdom can make you seem a thousand years older. I am the nest, let […]
