Evening's Gaze
Late evening breeze was reflected in your glittering eyes,
Made my heart sink deep & took me for a ride in clear sky.
You showed me glimpses of an unknown world,
Drank autumn wine with me & played with deceitful words.
Sometimes I can't tell what it is that you're thinking,
I just want to let the scars in my heart go away,
And feel your breathing.
I want to see with open eyes towards summer blaze,
Stop worrying so much & wander within your gaze.
Maybe your tender smile is the only thing that's true,
As you sit next to...
Made my heart sink deep & took me for a ride in clear sky.
You showed me glimpses of an unknown world,
Drank autumn wine with me & played with deceitful words.
Sometimes I can't tell what it is that you're thinking,
I just want to let the scars in my heart go away,
And feel your breathing.
I want to see with open eyes towards summer blaze,
Stop worrying so much & wander within your gaze.
Maybe your tender smile is the only thing that's true,
As you sit next to...

Life is a Journey of Death
I walk alone through this lonely planet,
My days buried in cold dust.
Looking through my dead eyes,
Toward an empty horizon,
To find a place I would belong at last.
I wove the eternity of time into my depth,
Heard the culling of human,
And the earth they left.
I hope of a new dawn as seasons turn blue,
Plague colors my faith inside, that I hold true.
Sun descends on a gray world that made us be,
Lets a ripple reach the stars, the silent water is me.
A freezing rain falls from the sky,
As I smell the sea I always held...
My days buried in cold dust.
Looking through my dead eyes,
Toward an empty horizon,
To find a place I would belong at last.
I wove the eternity of time into my depth,
Heard the culling of human,
And the earth they left.
I hope of a new dawn as seasons turn blue,
Plague colors my faith inside, that I hold true.
Sun descends on a gray world that made us be,
Lets a ripple reach the stars, the silent water is me.
A freezing rain falls from the sky,
As I smell the sea I always held...

Tree of Eternity
For many ages, from time immemorial,
A magnificent tree has stood here.
Deep, deep into the ground, its roots dove,
High & wide into the sky, its branches soared.
Watching innumerable lives come & go,
It stood here, Silent & unchanging, it stood here.
It surrendered itself,
To the quiet passion of this world,
Not from fear but one of an admirer.
As the waning moon brought forth unhappiness,
The advent of an unknown dawn drew near.
Whispered a primal need that took shelter in us,
Lustrous lies wrapped in...
A magnificent tree has stood here.

Not from fear but one of an admirer.
As the waning moon brought forth unhappiness,

Whispered a primal need that took shelter in us,

Crimson Sky
Misty dew sketched a fire in frozen sky,
I saw a contour lit up in burning twilight.
Like a glimmer of joy shining with reprieve,
A distant prayer would at last be fulfilled.
Amidst the shadows of languid summer heat,
I saw her eyes sculpting promise in dreams.
Like a haunted hope sunk through eternity,
The gaze in her eyes granted a lust unto me.
I heard the song of the ancient trees,
The season of spring that went past.
Long forgotten the dying of the young,
Yellow the leaves that were detached.
As I saw her...
I saw a contour lit up in burning twilight.
Like a glimmer of joy shining with reprieve,
A distant prayer would at last be fulfilled.
Amidst the shadows of languid summer heat,
I saw her eyes sculpting promise in dreams.
Like a haunted hope sunk through eternity,
The gaze in her eyes granted a lust unto me.
I heard the song of the ancient trees,
The season of spring that went past.
Long forgotten the dying of the young,
Yellow the leaves that were detached.

Asteroids in Eternity
I stand in the middle of this once chaotic city,
The residues of traffic are zooming past me.
The droning of neon lights still buzz in my ear,
The curtains they have already fallen,
What am I doing here?
I dream of a time when spirits roamed the day,
I dream of a time when the night meant dismay.
In my trance I remember this city's commotion,
Fields of grey around me, bound in stone.
I saw a time when no one sought the unknown,
I saw a time when no soldier would march on.
In my dreams I felt a torture, my flesh it bled, ...
The residues of traffic are zooming past me.
The droning of neon lights still buzz in my ear,
The curtains they have already fallen,
What am I doing here?
I dream of a time when spirits roamed the day,
I dream of a time when the night meant dismay.
In my trance I remember this city's commotion,
Fields of grey around me, bound in stone.
I saw a time when no one sought the unknown,
I saw a time when no soldier would march on.
In my dreams I felt a torture, my flesh it bled, ...

Through the Enchanted Forest
He walked through the forest after ages of yore,
Memories flooded his eyes in thoughts evermore.
The song of autumn leaves enrobed in cold,
Reaches the depths of Pecan grooves,
As sunshine breaks through mold.
Decaying leaves craft a thousand tales,
Through this dry road in vain.
Black wings cry a song of guilt,
An old man travels with a cane.
Weary he saw the woodlands,
That had lost all it’s warmth.
Still greeted him with shelter,
As if they knew he would return.
Walking...

He Walked the Night
He's a lonely man, spends his nights in midst of death,
Restless he senses the voices, in his dreams he is afraid.
Each repressed thoughts, their schemes he doesn’t know,
He looks for words, meaning of which perished long ago.
He feels the echoes, on the same plane as him,
Thousands of souls walk the night, in light so dim.
Stars lit the night, as meteors wash the world ablaze,
Violet haze fills the void and tears drop from his face.
He caught a glimpse, in his dreams,
Of thinly woven strings,
Of thousand wings unfurling. ...
Restless he senses the voices, in his dreams he is afraid.
Each repressed thoughts, their schemes he doesn’t know,
He looks for words, meaning of which perished long ago.
He feels the echoes, on the same plane as him,
Thousands of souls walk the night, in light so dim.
Stars lit the night, as meteors wash the world ablaze,
Violet haze fills the void and tears drop from his face.
He caught a glimpse, in his dreams,
Of thinly woven strings,
Of thousand wings unfurling. ...

Catharsis
In his shape I made myself to be,
In this world I feel like a disease.
light of day turns into cold dust,
See the darkness in me, my name is remorse.
I live in the heart of the weak & wounded,
Seeping from their bone, shepherd the wicked.
Harbored them with care, till they learned to fly,
Away from their home, in regret they'll die.
I hid a tradition so old written in my blood,
Echoing off broken walls, rising from the mud.
Sieged the conscience of men in dreadful lust.
Hearing their prideful laughter, I...

Path of Thorns
He was a man of loneliness,
trapped his soul to the curse of dark.
He was an embodiment of death,
The chirping of birds left no mark.
A distant rage boiled inside him,
A lust continued to burn him to waste.
Repenting the mistakes of his ancestors,
His beaten soul could never take rest.
He always seemed detached from us,
His thoughts drifting somewhere distant.
I wish I knew what he saw in his dreams,
But I knew it was something I was no part of.
There were times when I wanted to have a life,
To look at the...

Guardian of the Mountain
A traveller walks the mountain path for days on end,
Through ancient storms he senses the coming of spring.
The winter air fuels a rage & leaves shreds of wings,
Inside him he feels the longing of the mountain.
Days of happiness drifts away in lingering cold,
Hibernates the weak of nature in a lake so old.
Protects every soul with warmth for coming of life,
Descents a man with touch of bliss in reprise.
A mountain sage waits for spring in cold forever,
Beneath the lake I immerse my soul in depth of winter.
Through ancient storms he senses the coming of spring.
The winter air fuels a rage & leaves shreds of wings,
Inside him he feels the longing of the mountain.
Days of happiness drifts away in lingering cold,
Hibernates the weak of nature in a lake so old.
Protects every soul with warmth for coming of life,
Descents a man with touch of bliss in reprise.
A mountain sage waits for spring in cold forever,
Beneath the lake I immerse my soul in depth of winter.

The Last Day of My Life
Remember the days I sat with you here,
We sang our Signpost, how happy we were.
Amidst people we never could have known,
We sang our heart out in summer noon.
We used to be so innocent & carefree,
Cherishing hopes & running after our dream.
We never thought our summer would fall apart,
End of being alive as life would weigh down on us.
Believe, I never wanted this distance between us,
Even so I know you sing that song in quiet hours.
Through the cold of winter we wait for spring,
Life has taken a wrong turn,...
We sang our Signpost, how happy we were.
Amidst people we never could have known,

We used to be so innocent & carefree,
Cherishing hopes & running after our dream.
We never thought our summer would fall apart,
End of being alive as life would weigh down on us.
Believe, I never wanted this distance between us,
Even so I know you sing that song in quiet hours.
Through the cold of winter we wait for spring,

June
God put a smile on your face,
Caress my nights in your hands.
A kid in his eighteen was me,
I hope you'd make me retreat.
I killed myself as she got herself raped again,
The sky bled red, only their looks remain.
Burned the taste of scars in futile reprieve,
The end of innocence in me is conceived.
Waiting to be embraced by life,
All I saw were things I denied.
The way of flesh I can't accept,
Heard them talk in hushed disgrace.
I killed myself as she got herself raped again,
The sky bled red, only...
Caress my nights in your hands.
A kid in his eighteen was me,
I hope you'd make me retreat.
I killed myself as she got herself raped again,
The sky bled red, only their looks remain.
Burned the taste of scars in futile reprieve,
The end of innocence in me is conceived.
Waiting to be embraced by life,
All I saw were things I denied.
The way of flesh I can't accept,
Heard them talk in hushed disgrace.
I killed myself as she got herself raped again,
The sky bled red, only...
