Ugly Truth and the Beautiful Lie!

Dancing to your tunes my foe!
Ceaseless wants they etch!

You instill Desire, Cravings and Guilt!

They never feel a glitch!

Spectacle of Deceitful bliss, immortal hope, enslaves them to sin!
Content they live, Ignorant to the hitch!

Like a face of an Unwanted child
Inside you I wretch!

Enslaved within a finite garb!
Escaping is my eternal itch!

How do I prove my devotion!
With you till the end, I snitch!

Forbidden and Forlorn I loom!
Watching, waiting for my time to switch!

I am the silence no one can break!
The fact you can’t shake!

I don’t stalk I don’t prey!
You come to me and I slay!

I am in every accepted prayer and every resigned wish!
Yet I am this unwelcome and Outlawed Witch!

I hope things changes as time passes by!
and they believe the Ugly truth and over a beautiful lie!

Faith is a Strange Thing You Know!

Faith is a strange thing you know!

You will never know! How is it fed and how does it grow!

We have a Greed that we have agreed!

The more we get the more we need!

 

What we think is worth our Tear, worth our hour!

May be is a Useless trial, an Elusive Flower!

The passage of time is too Fast to Fold!

The Key is to live and stay on course! Lo and Behold!

There is no need to lose our Sanctity!

Weren’t we here for respect and Dignity!

The core of mans' spirit comes from every new experience!

So Venture Into the Wild, no matter how Dense or Intense!

If a river reverses direction of its flow!

Suddenly runs uphill, it won’t stop! It may be slow!

Remember, Happiness is only real when shared with everyone Employed!

And if human life can be ruled by reason, then all possibility of life is destroyed!

The truth is your Future is like a Cold hard stone! 

You are to shape it with your Head and bare hands alone!

The dreams may be foregone and the deeds forborne!

Your Spirits stoop and courage outworn!

But when Faith is at peak! And Hope is all you Reek!

You are never far from what you seek!

Faith is a Strange thing you Know!

You will never know! How is it fed and how does it grow!

Healer of your Dismay!

Inside you I reside!
Awaiting a feeling you will preside!

Fetching a note from your heart!
I am whimsical; can’t seize my start!

Bliss is my calling!
In grief I may arrive!

Falling like the Drifting Snow!
With misery copious I grow!

I slither down your face!
Often making shoulders my resting place!

Sign of Weakness to some and to others Respect!
A Sign of Loss; and Memories you hope to Forget!

Lurking quietly at the back of your head!
You could choose to Smile instead!

If concealing me makes you sane!
Then walk with me in the Rain!

Like a River Running high, emotions run Deep!
For the good, the bad, and all moments you reap!

Let me Flow and wipe me Away!
Cause I’m the Healer of your Dismay!

Miss you Dad!

I never thought you’d be gone!

You never said goodbye,

Gone, before my realization’s dawn!

A million times I cried!

If Love alone could have saved you,

You never would have died!


You were the warmth of our sky!

Anchor of our souls, Our guiding light,

Why couldn’t you hear our Cry!


I had to tell you how I feel!

That sometimes I was rude, unreasonable,

But my intent was never real!


When you reached out for my hand and I held it!

You Said, we all are like writing on the sand,

I didn’t know really you meant it!


It broke my heart to lose you,

But you didn’t go alone

Part of me went with you!


Today, I am a father Dad….

I have a girl, I wish you could see her eyes shine,

When I hold her hands, the way you once held mine!


I know you are watching her!

In the breeze she’ll hear your whisper,
In the Warmth of the sun she will Embrace you!

If dreams weren’t dreams and dreams came true!

I wouldn’t be here and I’d be with you,

I miss you Dad, I so badly do!


In Life I loved you dearly; In death I love you more!

The Child In Me!

A Life filled with Regulations, opinions and Blame!
So many thoughts and emotions Inflame!

I still hope to retain! To laugh!

To Smile and deal with the Pain!

To be out in the sunshine with the sun rays on my Face!
Live life at my own pace!

Forgive life and defeat my fears!
Oh! You cannot change me my Adulthood years!

As a child, I could be anything but as an adult; I just wanna be that Child!

Life is a Superstition!

Is an eternal soul; a thing of the past
Is there no continence to the want?
Why is Deceit the feature on every Mast?

Morals are the Road less traveled
Do Lies have a greater resolve?
Why is the Truth that is often grappled?

Are we convicts in our own body?
If we are detained to find the Truth; then
Why are we trapped in frills so gaudy?

My mind’s spinning with this weird Concoction
It is indeed a strange question?
Is Life a Superstition?

I am a Libertine !!!

People ask me what am I?
I tell them I am Cynical, I am Wry...

They mock at me and they bray...Many tried to convince; but

My mind was hard to sway...

They scorn the man I’ve become...But, I am not farce, I am not sham;I am unequaled, I am one...

I don’t believe in this moral charade...I don’t let myself dilute;
A’int no sense in this tainted parade...

I don’t fret over worldly decorum...I don’t seek blood in my every morsel;
I aint no remiss, I aint no grum...

Despite, I will Succeed…Coz I am Destine…I a'int no God...
I Am A Libertine...
