The looming buildings rise, and stand muted,
amid the long rays of the sinking sun.
The subway train rushes its path, rooted,
filled with people, wanting to be someone.

We survived,a threshold to paramount exultation lurked
As I got admitted to the High school so afamed and wished upon;
I remember well the first entrance to the hyped life beckoning
The red walls,the library,the laboratory and the rooms furnished

No. Sadness can never be understood. Nor bliss if it's any good. For humans have very short working memories for lessons learned.

I looked out the window today
And I heard the rainbow say
Send all your blues away
Sway not
Fret not, 'kay?
Come seek me
Each day
Play and pray
For me to colour you today!

She is poetry in motion 
    Sleek as a dew tepid on the bough

Awake to face the noon day dawn
like a loving doe or that in a fawn
we all want to belong 
I exist as a vapor then I am no more...

They scoot in paltry offices fathoming swindling the state,
Burly pundits with birdbrain racketeering rapaciously
Colluding with their murky puppet masters in expense
Of us siphoning brazenly in broad daylight expecting impunity.

The evocations are clear in the air slicing it merrily
Carmine specks of bonfires crack in the quaint dusk,
The dark canopy like a silhouette enveloping surreptitiously
The tin box lees parting another morrow and ll it`s glories.

I don’t know what I’ve became.
I’ve lost more than my mind.
I want nothing more than for you to stay.

The restless weather suits her mood.

Fatty, fatty raindrops pound the pavement,

And her tin roof sings in vain.

 

She's been planning her future,

By waking up everyday.

 

And her discontent carries over oceans,

Dying to be connected,

Connected to you.

 

Roads flood and drivers pull over,

And lightning cracks the sky.

 

Music floods her ears,

While she tries to muddle through it all,

She doesn't want to feel a thing,

 

The skies don't disagree,

While the rain fills the Pacific with tears,

 

Two sleeping pills and ten songs later,

She'll be swimming in the rain,

Dreaming of life...

 

Urban rivers sing her to bed,

Promising mud in the morning.

Budding petals intrigue the eye with splendour of hue
Swaying mildly in the sweet breeze of daybreak
With swarthy bats swooping from their alcoves
Dancing in the air with their squeaky cries.

Seasonal love sways
Forbidden love decays
Addictive love hurts
But eases through like drugs may
