Until When...

How long oh truth 

will you hurt me?...

How many times oh reality 

must you stab me?...

Oh Lord 

Oh how long...?

I patched my worn- torn soul 

with words

Each day I helped my heart breathe

in my poetry...

Oh truth, oh reality 

I wish you know

How you are hurting me...

Oh until when will you stab me...

Since You're Gone

Oh what beautiful morning 

I woke up to in everyday

when you were here 

in my life...

But now

everything has lost meaning

for only drops of tears

are waking me up

in every morning...

Since the day

when you were gone 

from my life...

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...

On My Grey Skies

Trying to paint a rainbow

on my grey skies

Wiping out my tears

and my unending sighs 

Listening to the melody

of the memories 

I keep in my heart...

They Never Go Away

I pause for a moment 

just to listen to my heart

shedding tears that never ends

enduring the pain that never heals...

I hold my breath for a moment 

to let my heart cry

to just let all the misery go

though they're never really go away...
