I perceived the distress in my mindI saw the emotions that hunted for attentionThen I invited them for tea and a dateSat down with themTo be seen, to be heard, to be feltAnd to be understood… Until then, I was way too lonely ©2022 Voice_of_the_Pen

Trying Hard
Hurdles taller than us; obstacles bigger than usSatans mightier than us; Angels farer than usBattles tougher than us; Enemies powerful than usFear sworn in us; Failure welcoming us With all our blood drained;And hopes shrank,Strangles and suffocated in our own mess;We’re hanging on a cliffTrying again and again and againUntil we otherwise turn to dust
I’m a dreamer.And the endOf all of these;The sorrows;The pains;The cries;I envisaged. I’m a dreamerAnd the start of all ofSomething beautiful;Something colorful;Something meaningful;I envisioned them all.Because I’m a dreamer.

Like Pottery
Like pottery;She was a well fined and caressed clayCarefully and patiently moldedCarefully and perfectly nurtured,She was a ‘wow’Tons of hands stretchedTo have a feel of her luxuriant skin.To win her meant to conquer,To conquer meant to kill.And when all hands pulled a sword,A spare hand to hold her;There was none.And just like pottery:She fell; she […]
How ironic;How gold is dug from muddy clayBut a mere sight of youMakes me realize howGreatness could beImmersed in simplicityHow ingenuity…Could be made minimalistic
There is this Island I built in my chestIt’s a refuge for exhausted fighters;A hideout for your loved ones;A rehabilitation center for broken hearts;A place for healing;A place for rest and peace…Away from all world’s troubles…Please don’t hideJust walk by my sideAnd I’ll keep you satisfied. ©2022 Voice_of_the_Pen

HOPE
As hope costs nothing,It is the passion for the probable…And a dream while awake…Yet which never disappoint…

IF INDEED
Whichindeed I really believe
Yet You never can tellWhen a bestfriendBecomes a Total stranger
Show me your smiles And I’ll show you my scars. Show me your rains And I’ll show you my ashes. The wild flames of life With no mercy; Crawled on me like a serpent. And when the winds came My remains scattered. And then followed the rains. My ashes-remains settled But no one could Remember, […]
I must have said I am fine…For about a hundred timeYet for about a hundred and one timeI was not…Everything that I was hiding deep inside Came rushing to the surface… ©2021 voice_of_the_pen

Risen Flags
Our prideEmphatically lies in our strideIt ain’t a lieWhen we say we gonna soar highAnd even though strangled;Keenly we have toiled and struggledWith our flags risenSurely our feat ain’t hidden

Time Counts
We start as fools…And through experience;We become wise You remember when you spent an hour bathing only your stomach?Well, you now know how to shampoo your hair You remember when you put your right foot into the left shoe and vice versa?Well, now you can tie your shoelace I remember when I couldn’t recite the […]

REAL DEMONS
Tales of Demons were toldFears got unfoldedDemons talked ofTo have grown in the darknessThen we cursed the nightStoned the antagonism of the nightTo escape from darknessAnd when the day brokeIn essence of diminished demonsHaving blankets untackedWe woke up onlyTo meet the real DemonsHumanity!You!… Me!… Us!… ©2021 voice_of_the_pen

The Smile
Like the winds The smile comes And quickly fades away But the cause of it stays And I’m more than ready To show That damn smile If it calls for it A million time
Yesternight in the cold freezing hour With my own ears I heard such words As loneliness whispered to me I have tasted the poison of absence And suffered from the venom of aloneness Which pleads me not to relate The day has thousand emotions And the night but one Yet the love of the insecure […]

Awoken From The Ashes
Who pulled the gun? Who triggered the trigger? Under the frowns Of a lonely fading moon Who groped my neck? So tight in the darkness That the echoes of my screams Were as silent as a forgotten melody? Who tied at my back, so tightly my hands; Covered my pleading mouth with stretchy fingers, As […]
The Ocean, though too vast;Apologies not for its depth.Neither does the mountainSeek forgiveness for the space it takes.So, shall you not be held accountableFor the beauty you possess. Even when none is listening;The birds chirp with joy.Indifferently, the butterfly dancesEven in a state of perplexity.And so, does your smiles appear pricelessEven if it’s a single […]
