Ordinary Comforts

How confronting love is

Tormenting in it's insistence

That I am deserving

Undoing my assiduous efforts

Upturning my best laid bricks

Roving over my shadows

That warm and persistent light

If love was not ardent and enduring

If not for it's refuge, I dare trust

I would set it ablaze and all of it's promises

My Heart is Not A Playground

My heart is not a playground, 
For you to dance your way through, 
My feelings are not something, 
That you can claim as untrue, 
My smile is not an object, 
That you can break at your will,

An Ode to Bondage

I startled I strangled 

I spotted I hooted

Caged in the womb of patriarchy

I pushed my fist up the sky

I spotted I mangled

I flawed I clawed

Beyond this room
that chatters day and night with noise of nothing good to hear
I move about and fight
to keep my thoughts of now
beyond the prophecies of nothing
left that’s dear

He lived thousands of lives
Known by hundreds of names
Once he was an explorer, a sailor, a ruler
He was all he could ask for 
A spy, a painter, a failure 
He had experienced it all 
He shed tears seeing others suffer 
And spread joyous vibe in the happy ever after 
Facades of people, secrets of world .
You name it, he got it all.
He traveled the world, without moving a finger 
Because, he called it the 'power of reader.'

Little did she know... 
She has soul of moon, 
Brightening the dark lives of people,
Has wild fire in her burning like sun, 
Providing warmth to others, 
Heart of deep sea, 
Feeling emotions with depth, 
Has dreams of sky, 
Very high to reach yet colorful, 
Has creativity like nature, 
Mysterious yet exquisite, 
She Changes like seasons, 
Improving herself to the situations ahead, 
Has magic within her, 
Gives wings to people to soar high in their life, 
She is an unique entity, 
making world more humane. 
How did she not find this amazing beauty in her, before feeling worthless?

A road a rock and all the dust
We play we give we crush
When given love or everything
Be still be pleasant do the string
You hold on tide you grip the rope
You give you loosen so slow
I am stronger than you think
You will last I will blink

ALONG THE WAY

We play, we stray, Life, many a doorway all areas gray, a mystical array. Along the way.

Along the way to destiny, we travel night and day. Sometimes predator, sometimes prey,
Life's a game? Is what they say. Why on the real I must appeal, everyday a new deal at
times hard as steel.  Though sadly the case an occasional false face. Beware the coup de 
grace. Haters, trying to knock you out of the race.

Of what decay of decline must a man climb

For his honor to define such a large loss of grace

Other sons felt heat from devastating defeat

Frozen forever, erasing their battlement retreat

Annealed on the battlefield his back to the sun

Legs carrying him past the honorable ones

In prayers without answers he is overcome

Losing his shine in a frighten moment of time

Flows through one’s own marrow and spine!

Life is one whimsical ride
So tried
Tired
Tied

Up and down we go
B-frames
at shutter speed

When you are near
My heart flutters
When you appear
My thoughts run wild

When you whisper
I see stars and can hardly steer
my way about,
My dear

I used to ogle at the window. Ah Ma said it was expensive. Those fine prints on the glass panel were truly exquisite. I believed her every word. She was my favourite person. Uncle said it was tempered glass. I took it that it meant it was thick and it made me feel safe.
