One More Mask
Treading ever slightly
wavering purpose
not to be exposed
Feeling uneasy
new terrain
self will not imposed
Attempting to emulate
one more mask to wear
compliance required
Following at present
when once I surely led
silently uninspired
Existing on an edge
fine line to navigate
path again aborning
Whatever the colour
fades to black
in my perpetual mourning
wavering purpose
not to be exposed
Feeling uneasy
new terrain
self will not imposed
Attempting to emulate
one more mask to wear
compliance required
Following at present
when once I surely led
silently uninspired
Existing on an edge
fine line to navigate
path again aborning
Whatever the colour
fades to black
in my perpetual mourning

Baby Teeth
Mother likes to collect things, mementos that remind her of us. When I visit her, I always bring something with me from her grand kids. She does not get to do much, so she really enjoys opening little packages to see what I brought her. When my brother and I were younger, she kept everything of ours. She kept our first shoes, our first blankets, our first diapers, the hair from our first haircuts. As we got older, she collected our baby teeth when they fell out. She would get very excited when a tooth got loose and she would have a new memento to collect. She would put the new tooth in...

this seems pretty weird

those three children
We used to study in metro city and live in college hostel there.
Annual exams were coming and we used to study at night
Dinner was early at night, now I was hungry while reading
Me and my friend went out to for tea with the permission of the warden.
our college campus was huge so We took the cycles and just reached half a kilometer
n we saw from a distance that some people were going round and round in circle with some burning thing on their heads
We got a bit scared because we've never seen anything like this before
Nevertheless, we went ahead with some...

A Very Dangerous Man
Alone in a house a man lay bound in ropes, hidden by the night. Not even the moon shone into the cellar, for the small window was boarded up. The man never saw the sun or the stars. He heard no voices, no laughter.
In the cellar a light bulb hung from the ceiling. I stood over the man, observing him gurgle, watching the blood dribble from his nose and stain his gag. The man's name was Damien.
They think I don't see, but I do. I see everything. I see them snivelling and running. I see them laughing. They are laughing at me, their voices piercing and hideous. I...

Is it fair?
Have you died today, my fellow?
Transcending up to peace and love?
Bathing in comfort and lights mellow?
Does it seem pure harmony above?
Yes. It is our promise.
That death soothes our human pains.
Like a fairytale upon us...
No imperfection, angelic domains...
This is reality we can't depict.
In our brute lives of die hard.
But does it... doesn't it contradict
itself, the fact of the backyard?
The backyard of dimensions.
For our peaceful books hide a bit
of information, best unmentioned,
in order not...

Something Whooshed...!
Something Whooshed…!
On a planet, in a country, in a state, in a town,
on a street where a lampost shines
and the houses, very warm, quiet dreamers in their sleep
like a hush after church bell chimes.
Something whooshed on the wind in the distance.
Something galloped in the lime moonlight
and its wings cut the air into slices of Fear
which it tossed in the night with delight.
And I shivered with a tremble and began to disassemble
with the fright now fused to my bones.
Slices landed on the rooftops, slid across...

Midnight at the Voodoo Lounge
Midnight at the Voodoo Lounge
When fall comes, it feels the time to make a cool change. Rowena’s ladder out of this tar pit is to get a bartending license. So instead of rolling joints at the medical marijuana clinic, she juices her patrons up. Though the contact high from the weed is pleasant she feels it is time to come down from the high. Feeding this vice is much more to her taste.
At their apartment and before John’s very eyes, Rowena strips out of her lily-white as first communion dress into her black as Wicca lipstick on the eve of Samhain, lingerie. ...

WITHIN THE DARKNESS
Here I am still in the process of what night feels like, standing in the very abyss a room with only one way in and one way out. But yet still I remain in a trance staring, into the pits of the illusions that now has invaded my mind, seeking to get into my thoughts and emotions and feelings. Yet I am unafraid to face my fears of the unknown, that hides in the shadows of the illusions of night for I am not alone, in this world of the darkness as there is a light...a Halo over me shinning it's light down on my journey and travel and walk through the DARKNESS.

Eternia
the dark laugh. it watched the woman
as she rose from slumber
deadly yes but vulnerable
the darkness has been at work while she rest
she spied the night observing her
she worried not after its devices
woven throughout the chronicles of time is her essence
she would make her appointed destination
while the dark schemed she liberated souls
the Goddess of Eternia
her power reach deep inside the nine circles of hell
freeing peoples from their enslavement
slaves to their beliefs, they believed they belong there

Life's Real Fears
There are many things to be afraid of
In life like heights or spiders or snakes,
But what about falling and being in love?
Maybe when your delicate heart breaks
Too many times and you cannot keep
The earth from the rumbles or shakes.
When you fall down the dark and deep
Hole, not sure if anyone is going to catch
You. When you always cry and weep
But nobody hears you. When you scratch
Your fingernails across his skin, knowing
That your feelings have come to hatch
And spread like a wildfire. The...

You. When you always cry and weep
But nobody hears you. When you scratch
