alan kurdi

it was
stunned
when
instead of
the holy river,
an incomplete
childhood
came floating
in its lap...

Made Me Feel

Misery is madness
But so is death
And all we have is hope

Silence

Bring to me
the death
of my memories,
this blissful spawn
of sweet relief.
Release Belial's
brutal squeeze
before the rage
of dawn arrives
to take away
into a bloody bath
the ghostly silence
of the night.

Infection

Infection runs cold in the bloodstream
Depleting
Destroying
Devouring
Deleting
My sense of self
Till there's nothing left

Eyes never lie

Dark circles surround
Gaping black holes
Filled with.....
Destruction
Depression
Death
A harrowing portrait
Reflected in the mirror
And everyone knows
Eyes never lie

खुद ही डूबता रहा हूँ इस मन की गागर मे
कभी किनारे पर बैठ कर देखने की फुर्सत ही ना मिली।

Bleeding Out

You taste like syrup
Tears of a sugar maple
Mortally wounded

Nihility

I have known love
Joy
Friendship
The dreams of Camelot
My beginning
Freedom

And then I woke up

Just My Luck

Another morning

Still here

If not for bad luck
I would have none

Theres always tomorrow

Here's hoping

 Jailhouse in the Castle

Within the confines
Of tortured
souls
Ancient lies
Fester
Lies embraced
Wicked truths
Of old
School and jailhouse
Rumors
White lies forever
Weaved into
Dark fables
Deception
deceit
untruths
spat into eternity
Maliciously told
. . .the joker’s gold
laughs echoing
along the devil’s road home

Life forever erased

I can't see my lucid dreams
Blindfolded
Thoughts abandoned in empty frames
Climbing stairs to chaos
I fall before I awake
Visually dying
Life forever erased
