EXILE

Mournful are words dying

Starving and screaming to be heard

The heart subtle, mind yearning

Heaven knows they are not dead

Scribes around the world read my tales

Yet I starve for bread and shelter for the soul

Waited in the rain, but the heart keeps burning

The world yet marvel at my story

I search and seek for solace

Wade injustice to a life I grew unwieldy fighting

Unconsciously, a sober thought crossed my path

To find a home to redeem this plight

I have been walking in the world naked 

My thoughts cloth in insanity

Fed in ink, I will survive the cruelty of life

Till the world shred the message in my heart

The heart cast away to rot in an unprecedented world

Where the sun is dim, the cloud's gray

Lost in a world of ecstasy

A poet on exile with a message and a will

IN SEARCH OF A PERFECT LOVE POEM

Search did I the world for an amazing poet

With a poem that permeates through my heart

I lie in death wish to reconcile my feelings

Buried out of context, yearning to be revived

I seek earnestly for his words to comfort me

A poem that eases my mind, body and soul set free

Leaves me excited, content and appreciated

Caresses my whole feelings and thought immersed

I long for a poem unbiased, written with an ink from the heart

Someone who sees no imperfection but adore me

A poem with words which runs deep down the marrow in my heart

A poem composed undoubtedly to take hold on me

MIRROR ON THE WALL

When you look at the mirror, tell me who you see?

Do you see the reflection of a successful man?

Do you see the heart of a depressed woman?

Someone who doesn't believe through self can thrive

Do you see the mind of a determined heart?

Or you see the life of a frustrated man without hope?

Do you see a smile with confidence of a breakthrough in life?

For the reflection in the mirror shows the person you are inside

It shows the weakness and the strengths lying in you

You've got to be positive in life in everything you do

Regardless of what you're passing through

You've got to have faith in the person in you

He knows you've got potentials locked inside

Search deep within and talk to the inner self

Together you can make the world hollow

You can be indispensable, if only you can believe in you
