In The Rain

The melody of the pain

I kept hearing

in the rain

My torn heart sobs

along with each drop

In silence 

deep in my soul 

my world is crumbling

Here in the rain

I walk again...

Here On My Own

Alone on my own

I painted my world

Words with no lovely colors

but raindrops and storms

Sighing along

with the brushes of the cold winds

my heart  rhyming 

the melody of my pain...

Alone on my own...

Here on my own

I will be

with just the mists

of the memories 

here in the space in time

where I belong

here in my silence 

I will breathe 

'til the last line of my poetry

Here on my own...

Window In My Grave

In my lorn lone world

is my grave with a glass window

where my curtains

through all the seasons

shall never close...

Here I rhyme the woes

of my soul

that were buried alive

in my reality 

penning down 

every beat of my heart 

'till my last inhale...

Through all the cold truths

that I fought to withstand 

through my words

The time has come for me

to stop gazing through my window

and close my never drying

teary eyes

that cried all my pain 

through all my days...
