I’m Back

I’m Back

Where intimacy was a lie,

Where promises are broken,

Where love will always deny,

Where cruel words are spoken,

Where memories bring only pain,

Where hope lived but does not now,

Where hunger comes to rule again,

Where strangers ask who and why and how,

Where words, like forever, fail,

Where letters of feelings are burnt,

Where rosy cheeks grow cold and pale,

Where lessons of sorrow are learnt,

Where holding hands and drying tears

Are forgotten by unhappy hearts,

Where loving looks become fears

Where from all that mattered departs.

“As the Sun Wakes”

As the sun wakes,
Thunder and lightning
Blanket his face
And shut his shining.

Might as well!
This day will be the same:
Where I suffer our love –
And you forget my name.

Cockroach

When ever you saw a cockroach
you’d scream.
I’d compel you and tease you and
You’d run –
Now, you just remain in parts of
My dreams
You have taken the parts of me
That were fun.
Today, I saw a cockroach and
I smiled;
It reminded me of us for a
little while.
