POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction I have a passion to create stories, draw characters, design imaginary landscapes, write songs and compose music. I can honestly say DUP was the platform that helped me developed my skills as a writer through the years.

My Dear Human Child...
My dear human child
what have you done
what have you become
My dear human child
when will you learn that
you've lost much than you earned
a song can heal a man with a broken heart
but it won't heal the world that you tearing apart
unless you take a step in the righteousness
make it a better a place to entire human race
My dear human child
what have you done
what have you become
My dear human child
when will you learn that
you've lost much than you earned
you build cathedrals but for God you're...

The Perfect Me
We are all apprentices
in a craft where no one
ever becomes a master.”
~Ernest Hemingway
I wrote the perfect poem
Then I read my recent one
I drew the perfect picture
I forgot I'd drawn a better one
I got the perfect marriage
But I wondered why we fought
Nobody is perfect they said
Who is this "nobody"? I thought
Sometimes when I tune my guitar
Keys end up in a perfect line
It's that moment of...
in a craft where no one
ever becomes a master.”

Jailbreak
verse i]
an ajar door
between me and the sky
an endless silence
keeps me tied in my mind
all that followed me
trying to hold me down
I could just walk out of here
but I can't go now
[chorus]
on my own, I forged this cage of mine
locked me inside for a long long time
time has come to set me free of the ties
break this silence between yours and mine
a storm is sewing the sea to the sky
painting the shadows with colours of light
pain is cruel so is the night
am getting closer...
an ajar door
between me and the sky

keeps me tied in my mind

but I can't go now

locked me inside for a long long time
time has come to set me free of the ties
break this silence between yours and mine
a storm is sewing the sea to the sky
painting the shadows with colours of light
pain is cruel so is the night

DARK POEM

16th May 2018 2:54pm
Before the Twilight
your supine body
baring mine
your aquiver lips
muttering in my ears
our thoughts are
mutually buried
in a deep sonder
an ineffable thirst
drying my breath
serendipity is far
away from your reach
and,
I fed my thirst...
a sonorous cry
felt familiar...
the ethereal feeling
dampening my throat
satisfying me
like a petrichor
on a barren land
baring mine
your aquiver lips
muttering in my ears
our thoughts are
mutually buried
in a deep sonder
an ineffable thirst
drying my breath
serendipity is far
away from your reach
and,
I fed my thirst...
a sonorous cry
felt familiar...
the ethereal feeling
dampening my throat
satisfying me
like a petrichor
on a barren land

when truth was a lie...
warm breaths
from a cold heart
melted another
frozen in time
lost in a haze
dreams collapsed
like smoke
in the air
once was a spark
lies on the ashes
but I'm no Phoenix
puzzled mind
a playground
for the wicked
and still,
your truth
was beautiful
when you lied...

pessimist blamer
I grew up alone, parents abandoned me

I spoke a language, in a different society
been mocked, and forgot my mother tongue eventually
so much hatred, bottled up inside me
so many to blame for the anger thrived in me

why I write...?
I just say why not
sometimes you tried
to squeeze a sneeze
to avoid the sound
but it gives you pain
right between the eyes
why do you want to
block the flow of nature
and be in pain in vain
you don't want to hold
the flowing emotions
unlike a sneeze feelings
tend to remain in and
drag you into the pain
when you stop the flow
it tries to burst out from
somewhere else...
so why not be in words
weaved in line for another
to ride your feelings
laugh at your...

beauty of nature
who could peel off the petals of a bud, so delicately, so patiently and reshape it into a flower
