EpiphanyReflecting its neighbourhood,
The lake water shone yellow.
Resembling a synchronisation of saturation
With the setting sun.
Seizing green colour of the grasses
The Sun painted them gold.
Gazed pines dance spectacularly,
Only awakened with Sparrows' chirps,
And Robins' melodious songs.
Perched on...

Plain AffectedThe forest around her story damning the plains—
The littlest girl seen by the wind through the plains.
Green honey passes just by a bee's swirling wings;
The gold smoothed by her heart; fingers reading the plains.
The likelihood...

SHE
She looks down her nose
At the locals in the town square
As she sips tea from her fine china cup
Pinky in the air
Criticising and complaining
Judging one and all
Negativity runs through her veins
Only she matters….all others insignificant...

VoicesMom, Dad, I hope you are doing well.
Because honestly I am going through hell.
And I don't expect you to understand.
Because NOBODY else can.
I can't even say that I'm fine.

Another line that...

Universal Remote
I wish I had a remote to control my thoughts
It would be great to change the volume, mute or source
If only I could change the negative thoughts channel to the sports channel.
Or even change...

Under Clearer SkiesUnderneath cloudy morning skies,
we can touch the rain,
we can feel our pain,
we can witness sorrow.
Underneath clearer afternoon skies,
we can observe the light,
we can experience warmth,
we can feel the sun,
then maybe everyone,
will somehow see tomorrow.

The Tea and The Bee Limerick Set
How about some delicious tea
I want it with crackers and brie
Honey is very sweet
Better than sweaty feet
I got bit by a yellow bee
That bee just flew far far away
Guess the bee did not want to...

its azure a calming wave in the bottomless screaming night
I walk in time and with each furthering step,

When Silence SpeaksThe devil sleeps in the hearts of men,
When silence speaks no need of pen,
Veiled, a puppet master pulling strings,
Empathy dangling as the devil sings.
Humanity resides in dreams despair,
Hope futile against the growing swell,
Frothing, the raging...

Emotive Eloquence Of Silence
Enchanted by the mirage of florid ecstasy,
the flower in my desiccated heart blossomed
when your charisma drizzled on me
like the soothing rare summer rain of oasis.
The flame of my heart was stoked

Whispers of the ForgottenIn the shadowed alcove of memory, Where forgotten dreams curl like smoke, I wander, a spectral seeker, Tracing the edges of existence.
The moon, a pale witness, Hangs low, its silver gaze unyielding, As if it...
