THE COLOR OF LIFE

Life is painted with sadness and joy

It’s painted with smile and regrets

It’s painted with feelings and emotions

It’s painted with grief and hatred

It’s painted with pride of a mother’s bosom

It’s painted with love and tenderness of a child

It’s painted with moments spent with friends and family

It’s painted with the beauty of fulfilling a dream

It’s painted with kiss and hug of a love one

It’s painted with hope and expectations

It’s painted with memories of losing a love one

The color of life is painted in the heart of man

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
