The city and the valley. The quiet sun rose to shine upon the fountain, The sky changed its appearance to personify the mountain. In the valley people gather and stare, The moon and the stars go elsewhere. The open glittering blackness is occupied by only the stars and the loud moon, But the people in the city hope for the q...

Repeat You were sitting, I was watching. You had a lot to say, I was listening my time away. Night was coming, The day was running. The evening bought with it a lovely undertone, As we both left and headed home. Where are you? Who am I? Got so much to do, Walking and whispering as the night passed by. Didn't we smile? Didn't...

Winter. I remember when I last remembered you, I sat beside all the other things I had forgotten, Seeing but not really remembering the names of all these things. In the early part of this life I knew you and all that surrounds you now, I'm sure we had a bond of special significants, Something to do with a feeling I have lon... More..
Dim. Streets of dim lighting make the mind wonder, No hope here and no future to ponder, Is an oasis in sight? Directions are sketchy after the next right, What awaits me to fight? Does it punch or does it bite, Or is it too busy sleeping. Am I heading down the lost roads of time? Forgotten and without a sign, Where the memo... More..
Milk. Close the gate between this life and the next, I see pieces of you but not you. In habit I call your name, In habit I make you a cup of tea, but you no longer answer, you no longer complain about the amount of milk I've put in the tea. More..
Is this it. Is this it, is this the moment that shall forever cut me in two. Am I to fall into this gaping hole which has no bottom, will I see a better time. Words of substance hold too much hurt for me, Let us talk of trivial things for now, like programs on t.v or washing up, but I know the darkness will return and burn. ... More..
On and On. Troubled man on the run from the mirror, So many things that have become too many, In the twilight he ventures out to deserted streets, And torments himself again and again. He evades the answers to his problems and instead drowns in self piety, Then he sleeps only to dream of answers to his problems, But awakens ... More..
Out of reach. Cut myself and sit and watch the world fade away. Pain is the fuel which keeps me hating myself, But how long before the pain is gone and I feel nothingness, How long before I can be free of myself and embrace love. In the depths of darkness is a tiny ray of light, It comes from the last remaining feeling I hav... More..
In the pursuit. Wake up and get moving, Put on your worn out smile and embrace the unknown day. Deep down you know the day shall be far from soothing, You cannot escape the structure of things so you'll have to come out to play. Cannot hide and cry. Your sanity is at stake, You damn near kill yourself so that you succeed. Wh... More..
Asunder. I am a human-being, I am a human being hurt. I see a reflection of emotion, All my words are cast asunder when I feel what you are feeling. Your feeling feelings that crush your voice and nothing comes out, Your eyes scream and let loose the emotion which your voice cannot carry. We stare and share in moments of hea... More..
