Cliché

It hurts when you love someone.
It is the biggest cliché!
It’s the universal law,
Which leaves nothing much to say.

So, if he does not want you
There is the tragic stay:
Where you stand, helpless,
As he staunchly walks away.

Lament

The colours tear the skin,
Leaving lifelong scars;
A needle that runs grooves –
Most solemnly state – mars.

Unlike love that comes,
Then chooses to leave,
These bright hues of red
Are not here to deceive.

The dragon finds the phoenix:
A yin meets its yang.
Thus, I’ve answered the lament
The phoenix once sang.

The 4th

If chemo worked,
Where would faith go?
Pain would end.
Cancers wouldn’t grow.

Love might work
To cast hope even now,
Shining like a diadem
On a mortal brow.

Death keeps both
Faith and love in check,
With a noose
Around the neck.

Time to stop
Fighting the good fight;
And gracefully,
Walk into night.
