  • hurt,
  • loneliness,

In the four walls closed,
She's weaving her dreams,
So fragile, she seems,
Still hoping for good. 

In her lonesome room,
She is shedding tears,
Does anyone care?
Still caring for all.

A Cool January Night

The streetlight shares
Its golden snow on
A cool January Night.
The black sky of suburbia
Is its subject as
The flakes are delivered
By concealed storks in flight
Away in the house nearby
I watch,
Endlessly enthralled,
This delicate birth
Of sweet delight.

Strangled in the thoughts, stuck in the waves, lost in the memories, that sank in the sand.
 
There seemed to be a curve, But I still kept walking. Thought whatever happens, will be at that moment seen.
 
The caress to my soul, didn't look so grateful, Because blindfolded was I, I still kept walking.
 
Didn't care about tantrums. Nor about the future, Because success comes to those who takes risk, Was what I thought.
 
One day that curve, finally came to an end, Thought-struck was 1,
 
I couldn't understand.

Likes the harshness of sunlight. Walk through the sun. You have to go to work by bus. Different passengers are getting off at different stops. Two sidewalk shops are opening and closing in the market. The city is just waking up. The historic house number 32 is still standing. Sounds of vehicles instead of gunshots.

  • love,
i‘ll love you till my tea gets cold,
until I close my book.
I‘ll love you till I leave my room, until I wake up from this dream.
I‘ll love you for evermore.

The reason why I flinch

You ask me, why I flinch,
At every sudden movement,
That I don't see coming.
Like I expect to be hit.
It's  a leftover reaction,
like A residual tic.
A predetermined mechanism Physically attempting to defend My physical self.
For at the hands of another
My body has been beaten,
been broken been battered.

Stand alone girl,
You are making it better, even alone, those arms will never hold you again, neither you will see their smile nor their shadows.

That one who smiled at you on your triumph, yes he is smiling like an evil, then this one who cheers for you might not be cheering,
But you still believe, cause you're ingenuous.

Stand alone before all around you tries to drag you down,
Cause one's victory isn't a beautiful story for others.

They were bold and they wrote and they ate sheep but not goats,
And they lived and they laughed,
And they kicked evils ass!

They were strong,
They were brave,
They weren't anyone's slave,
And they are who I'm made from!

Blood so very rich,
That royalty is their niche,
Commanders of Godly armies,
And fighters of Jesus Christ!

The sun went over the moon and the sea kissed the sky,
He left her for good, for once and for all. but his love never truly died,

She journeyed through hell, alone and condemned,
It was harder to leave, than it was harder to friend,

And the Heavens all waited for a miracle to start,
And the angels all planted, new seeds in their hearts,

The future was not something they owned,
Only Jesus Himself,
Could light their way home.

He claimed to be a soldier of fortune,
But who's fortune did he defend?
Was he a member of God's heavenly army?
Or was he fooling himself to no end?

He was telling the truth,
Of that she was certain,
He knew details and specifics,
He had lifted the curtain,
