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..
Tremors of the Past
Rain keeps falling like endless thread
Its sound beats on tranquil pavements
Reflecting beams of shades of red
To alleviate this dreadful moment
It was the same as other mornings
To wake up in these empty feelings
Being naïve, I gladly accepted defeat
Now I can’t even stand on my feet
I have been walking for a long time
Deserted streets everywhere I turn
Hoping one day somehow I’ll find
As I quicken my pace in almost run
Torn between fate and thy duties
My life’s wasted of crooked beauty
Reaching for stars...
Its sound beats on tranquil pavements
Reflecting beams of shades of red
To alleviate this dreadful moment
It was the same as other mornings
To wake up in these empty feelings
Being naïve, I gladly accepted defeat
Now I can’t even stand on my feet
I have been walking for a long time
Deserted streets everywhere I turn
Hoping one day somehow I’ll find
As I quicken my pace in almost run
Torn between fate and thy duties
My life’s wasted of crooked beauty

Borrowed Time
It’s been six months since
I penned down my thoughts
The world around me keeps
Turning and I am left still
All words and passion seemed
To have lost their worth
Trying in difficulty to
Revive my heart’s will
I am not aware of happening
In between days
As if time snatched me
In its own dreadful way
Though I continue to breath
My body barely function
Trying to break free
In chains of my creation
Everything around me
Had inspired me less
Fading hopes into oblivion
Waiting to be bless
A once cheerful child...

One Sunless Day
I love you
Like the air in my lungs
A sugar in my tongue
I love you
Like the stillness of sea
Whispering a melody
I love you
Like the heat of the sun
By passion I’ll burn
I love you
Like a carefree child
Playing in the wild
I love you
Like a moth to a flame
Stripping me of shame
I love you
Like a soldier in a war
Wounded and afar
I love you
Like a second skin
Buried deep within
I love you ...

Stripping me of shame
I love you
Like a soldier in a war
Wounded and afar
I love you

Buried deep within

Blood-Stained Manuscript
I turned around to face the mirror
Saw my reflection filled with horror
My misery is like a growing tumor
Then who’s going to be my savior?
My childhood was not a happy one
The walls that I built became sand
Feeling alone, I screamed and ran
And burned my skin under the sun
I stand barefoot on electric chair
Contemplating in my own despair
Amidst pain and gloominess I bear
You just watch, combing your hair
By nightfall, when I’m lying in bed
I dreamed of color of brightest red
This...

Stop This Monster
The monster has come back
Wrecking havoc with every might
Spat your face with muddy rock
And blind you of reason and sight
He walked the earth in nakedness
Like a lion, hungry and shameless
He’ll not stop, deprive you of rest
Enter your mind as welcomed guest
He proclaimed himself as a king
The rightful one on golden wings
He’d taken lives from the beginning
At his command, I weep and sing
Why can’t he just burn in hell?
Like the sinners and fallen angels
Evil descends in his heart dwells ...

Light's Darkest Shadow
I took a journey in ghoulish battle
Holding her love of pure subtle
I have faced death over and over
And counted bodies on my fingers
I raised my flag high in heaven
In nightmare, soon I’ll be awaken
Desolate land and soul forsaken
Every place I seized left barren
When war has finally expired
I brought home victory and pride
Everything was destroyed by fire
Let us rejoice, my beautiful bride
How fulfilling to hold her again
Smell her scent and forget pain
Her...

I brought home victory and pride
Everything was destroyed by fire

How fulfilling to hold her again

The Beautiful Weight
Paint her red with a touch of pink
Pay attention to what you think
Pinch her cheeks covered in ink
And smell her breath of icy mint
Take her hand in this empty room
Bring the band as we dance soon
In cosmic rays of sun and moon
Like a wildflower quick in bloom
Treat her ill, do her wrong
Trying to prove you're high born
Always regard her with self-scorn
She took the road of fields of corn
Find your love, dressed in black ...

Question
Why do I walk alone?
When my only companion
Is the shadow of my own
Why do I scream aloud?
When no one hears me
But the empty crowd
Why am I scared?
When I know my life
Will not be spared
Why do I force a smile?
When all I can hear
Is your beautiful lie
Why do I follow rule?
When all I want
Is to make you a fool
Why do I sing?
When the only hope
Is hard to cling
Why do I bleed?
When a broken heart
Is all I need
Why do I care?

Top Dog
Crossed the shore
Armed with dreams
The heat of sun
Of burning beams
You walk the mile
Light slowly dimmed
Left this world
My early years
A tired man
Longing for peace
In place beyond
That doesn’t exist
A wayward son
Is all I become
A father’s love
Will never warm
The child inside
Who’ll do no harm
I am alone
Started to grow
Open my mind
Don’t be slow
Hold me now
A broken vow
I sing verse
I do traverse
In cold dream...

Tombstone
I walked a path that leads nowhere
Anguish and hate buried deeper
And moved advance on vile macabre
Provoking horror on this bad weather
Wishing for the rain to put you in slumber
Hold your faith on your callous hand
Release yourself from any bond
Shed a tear from atrocious one
Open your impure eyes and run
On escape plan your mind design
Bear the sin as you bow to gold
Then bring chaos around the world
Flood the earth with...

Dried Tears
Alone, I invoked my eternal hate
Burned the sin and closed the gates
Until chaos awaits your final wake
Flaming desires of forgotten grace
Dismember your impotent soul
Swallow your life, all but whole
Nowhere to hide from mighty blow
Every turn, death all I saw
Follow the lead, follow the kill
Strip your body from every will
Burning hearts upon the hill
Will bare it all, broken zeal
Strike hard more than ever
Dark crafts of morbid laughter
Play the game...

Strip your body from every will
Burning hearts upon the hill
Will bare it all, broken zeal
Strike hard more than ever
