Broken
Glass breaks,
It can be replaced, too.
Earthquake comes, &
Then earth does it too.
But,
when the heart breaks.
Who can put it back together?
It cannot be reclaimed, too.
Mercy
Fault of the unkind
Is being
Untoward towards the kind
Mending one’s links
Defending for oneself
Where does misery begins and mercy ends?
Benumbed
Feel the painful feeling of dismay
Feel dejected as you may
Feel shallow and feel the spite
Searching for a reason to be still stay put
Wept, cried, felt anguished, steamed off,
Drank too
But the numbness won’t go away
Until time will take its own time.
Mellow
Anger, sorrow, regret, an awful start
A bad relation for one
A narrow vision of another
Some unbearable tight spot
Very dark ally
Of a very dark path
Suddenly, life escapes
& there is no telling where it had go!
Blame
Put it across or
Place it in the center
Feed it with doubt
& there you can have it
the poison of hatred
disappointing, unbridgeable wedge of a flame…
Injustice
It eats away at your heart
It drowns your soul
It empties up all negativity in your mind
The world at rest is a mere onlooker, has no sensitivity
The world planning to run against you, is not ever yours to trust
Then, exactly so, where do you take your claim?
Etch
What is your reason
For this sketch
Of your world
That is
Only yours?
Invoke
Pacts are made,
Words are reneged
Written evidence is destroyed
Confidence is killed
Regard is wasted,
Spoliation of a truly simple life
Or a good human heart
What else can you provoke?
Little problems, and big problems
All at once,
Then you deal with it
Ask yourself, “what is my heart’s desire?”
Is it satisfaction from work or at work or both?
Reward come later, hard work is done front and center
Watching out for oneself
All at once, & it has not begun yet
&, you are worried now?
Sometimes, I want to know
What can I not just leave?
Why can I not just go away?
Why should anyone bother to find me?
Why can I not be who I am?
Where can I go, and leave this all as is?
Who can be so free to capture me?
What good would it do?
How can I be so full of restraint?
This way, I know I am not supposed to be…
So, where I do want to get to?
When will I be there?
Finally?
Power
I got you!
Where have you been?
Why did you come to me, now?
When I cannot use you.
Riches
I am rich,
For I can live with nothing
Oh yes, I can.
Look and seek
Point at this
View it!
Did you see this?
Watch,
Let go,
Do not save -It is not meant to be.
Heart Flutters
They say, only breathe, but like you are holding your breath
Still, breath.
Making all kinds of moves in your head
& but there is no way to be had, no way to go
no way to stay.
How so?
