POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I am an advocate of truth. Trying to see and decipher the beauty and ramifications of small things and tiny details from a benign nature. Hovering between genius and madness in defiance of a rational environment. A true RIDDLE..

Thief
You brought joy form the start
And made loneliness depart
Frolic and bliss I took part
Then you stole my heart
I’ve been rewarded every desire
Held my head like a lord or sire
Given more than I required
Just to put down my fire
You’ve taught me courage at will
Been a long time I felt the thrill
And shown me kindness still
Until you stole my zeal
We triumphed among mankind
Forged our vow on old shrine
You believed it was design
To imprisoned my mind
Foolishly agreed to every flight ...
And made loneliness depart
Frolic and bliss I took part
Then you stole my heart
I’ve been rewarded every desire
Held my head like a lord or sire
Given more than I required
Just to put down my fire
You’ve taught me courage at will
Been a long time I felt the thrill
And shown me kindness still
Until you stole my zeal
We triumphed among mankind
Forged our vow on old shrine
You believed it was design
To imprisoned my mind
Foolishly agreed to every flight ...

Dolorous Illustrations
I always dream of becoming a man
Travel the world of enchanted land
Between water and cascading sand
I’ll take a voyage only few had done
Though life isn’t always as it seems
Left you wondering where to begin
The heartache only truth can bring
And the desolation of broken wing
This is my tale of inherited crucible
Of gentle soul ruined and humbled
The route to sin I gravely stumbled
My ransom a figment unattainable
A man for himself, his only alliance
His crass nature of sordid defiance
Still he ached for...

The Great Unknown
What’s the meaning of happiness?
Praise yourself then mock the rest
To have all the things and the best
Or to have enough, a little bit less
Did you ever lend a helping hand?
To those inferiors or even unkind
Condemn men like ignored brand
As if you’ll live ‘til the end of time
Do you really think they fear you?
Or is it respect you’re hoping too?
A no king cloaked in brightest hue
Nor a prince wearing golden shoe
Beheld yourself like prudent man
Merit yourself as an anointed one
Your restraint will always...
Praise yourself then mock the rest
To have all the things and the best
Or to have enough, a little bit less
Did you ever lend a helping hand?
To those inferiors or even unkind
Condemn men like ignored brand
As if you’ll live ‘til the end of time
Do you really think they fear you?
Or is it respect you’re hoping too?
A no king cloaked in brightest hue
Nor a prince wearing golden shoe
Beheld yourself like prudent man
Merit yourself as an anointed one
Your restraint will always...

Burning Shangri-la
Hands gripped in the darkest of night
Clamored our love to the unquiet sky
Dance our sorrow in the fleeting light
Soon we’ll whisper our long goodbye
We drew our vows through the stars
Primed a journey on the farthest land
As valiant heroes, we travelled so far
To unknown shores and glorified sun
As the pompous stride tilted forward
I’ll hold your hands adjacent to heart
We hopped through dirges as reward
Bridged the gulf between end to start
It’s a fantasy no man’s dare not wake
Sublime beauty...
Clamored our love to the unquiet sky
Dance our sorrow in the fleeting light
Soon we’ll whisper our long goodbye
We drew our vows through the stars
Primed a journey on the farthest land
As valiant heroes, we travelled so far
To unknown shores and glorified sun
As the pompous stride tilted forward
I’ll hold your hands adjacent to heart
We hopped through dirges as reward
Bridged the gulf between end to start
It’s a fantasy no man’s dare not wake

Finding Me
We all have secrets to hide
A cold shame we often lied
All the lust and love denied
We’re living yet dead inside
Scared to remove my mask
Upon light and staring dusk
Vile duplicity of rotten trust
Honor darken turned unjust
With vices of perverse folks
Dazzled by ecstasies evoked
Tongue tied unfitted to talk
Delights in different strokes
A prisoner of my own mind
Gratification became divine
In deception I was confined
In veracity my voice inclined
The hearts I’ve had...
A cold shame we often lied
All the lust and love denied
We’re living yet dead inside
Scared to remove my mask
Upon light and staring dusk
Vile duplicity of rotten trust
Honor darken turned unjust
With vices of perverse folks
Dazzled by ecstasies evoked
Tongue tied unfitted to talk
Delights in different strokes
A prisoner of my own mind
Gratification became divine
In deception I was confined
In veracity my voice inclined

Satellite
The search for the buoyant star
In a canopy of dark sky and far
The bold knight will raise a war
And play hymns with his guitar
Fate has delivered us together
Finding home among strangers
The veiled innuendo still lingers
Lost souls of vindicated beavers
Destiny played trick like before
Face my guilt with such candor
I will hoist my sail to the shore
As my allegiance to strive more
Distance can be a vengeful kin
Though aim comes from within
Heart...

Flight of the Icarus
This is the only life I’ve known
These four walls made of stone
A familiar place yet unknown
Will I be able to call it home?
I never wanted to go outside
In a scene of hate and demise
The comfort I witness inside
Can seduce the heart of wise
Living life in a looping dream
A world in vivid color scheme
Lucid water of running stream
Watch the lights down agleam
I was captivated by its beauty
Calmed my sorrow and misery
Promising a sublime prophesy
A paradise in a new-born city
I forever can...

See No Evil
I look at you and it hurts
But it’s hard to turn my head
Your face free from dirt
Contagious like angel of death
How do you go on in life?
Will you wait for chance tonight?
Teach me how to be right
When hope is nowhere in sight
All I can do is nothing but breathe
Watch my happiness always brief
You’re gone as I remain to bleed
Do I deserved this endless grief?
Maybe we had different paths
For us to be together is a laugh ...
But it’s hard to turn my head
Your face free from dirt
Contagious like angel of death
How do you go on in life?
Will you wait for chance tonight?
Teach me how to be right
When hope is nowhere in sight
All I can do is nothing but breathe
Watch my happiness always brief
You’re gone as I remain to bleed

Winter Winds
She felt numb as she drags her
feet in the late November snow
the cold wind blew her damped
hair showing an almost bare soul
she wanted to dry her eyes
but her tears overflowing like
a river that never runs dry
she feels utterly helpless
She couldn’t bear to look back
for any chance of delay could only
prolong the much awaited escape
her time to fly has come and she
has to endure the long flight after
many years of enemy’s captivity
and for the first time in her life ...

The Devil Inside
He crept among grotesque shadows
As if night’s a path he needs to follow
Dressed in madness of dark and vile
To poison everyone with chaotic lie
I know someone’s following me
In the shadow or behind the tree
I can feel his presence in the dark
Sending thrills to my bones and back
One night, I gathered my strength
I have to face him, with all myself
As the courage building up inside
Some parts of me, withered & died
The time has come to confront him
To ask the man waking my dreams
I want to learn the worst he means...

Skin-Tone
Who are you?
Are you the one they call father?
That puts our lives in danger
Who are you?
Are you the protector in a uniform?
Compromising peace and reform
Who are you?
Are you the messenger of God?
Killing for the price of blood
Who are you?
Are you the owner of the place?
Wearing a monster’s face
Who are you?
Are you the builder in every floor?
Reluctant to open door
Who are you?
Are you the anointed prophet?
Heralding a false faith

Deep Blue Sea
It was so inviting
the waves dancing
behind the shadow
of pale moonlight
like a lover’s touch
a promise of a kiss
rich and tender
that I decided
to take a dip
Only a few steps
I'm already deep
in the ocean's den
enveloping me,
weakening me in
its mighty grip
all it took is some
moments before the
flares above me
completely shut
I am drowning
unable to scream
as the salt water
slowly fills my...
