Their Shadow

When I no longer was able to know who you are

When I started to question the image I had of you

When I thought that I was the illustrator of my own head

I started to look at your shadow

And that is when I realized for some;

“Life’s but a walking shadow”

Not a victim but a warrior.

I’d tell her to thunder back her way to life. To stand straight and still to the ground, unafraid of no man. To enter the battles like a hurricane and to not hold her drizzles back. Flood your way to life. You’re mother nature and he is just a man.

From-To The Universe

First breath with a cry

Joviality was born so

did a star around

With universe's plan

Jollity didn’t stick around

The quotidian curse

Perhaps falling star

a whisper to the cosmos

is all Jolly has

Growing up like flame

too bright yet too short in time

Unlike the twinkles

To the universe

A star is sent and a breath

of a cry is heard

Race With Time...

Tik tik tok on the wall , ticking all day and all night long

Tik tik tok it goes , with all my frowning and my ohs

Tik tik tok , scurry scamper scuttle

From old love that gave nothing but troubles

Tik tik tok , dispirited from an old lover , that gave nothing but daily double trouble

Tik tik tok it goes , while my toes hit the road , rushing away from struggles

Tik tik tok , he made me run away from irks he invented and invited

Yet I didn’t know how to rally myself steadily , obviously I was misguided

Tik tik tok , I blushed and gushed “I love you” , to me

Tik tik tok , I discovered that no one deserves love and affection but me

Tik tik tok ,with all my frowning and my ohs , I wish for nothing but a gleeful me

And I kept on running, for years , from love and lovers - merrily,

Rogue Wave

In view of the fact, that trepidation is the whys and wherefore to my insufficient sleep

My ghastly nights embarked on a beast that got fed by malignity erupting abhorrence,

Provoking subconscious running from detestation, afraid from looking back at the beast

Yet, whenever I move it follows me as a shadow in the evenings; last but not least

I didn’t get any sleep, not only it follows me at the eve

But also it hunts my dreams, as if it is the party’s lead

And I run from the beast in my dreams; a hope to the day I’ll set myself free

In the wake of the world’s rogue wave of malignity, I kept on running for years
