Tirades of a troubled soul
Tonight I lie down quietlyIn this cold hard bedWith this still nightAnd deafening silence.Yet my mind’s noisyToo loud that I can hearMy thoughts, my rants.Agonies from reminiscences,Tirades of a troubled soul.They’re screamingIn my headRestless, boisterous.I covered my earsWith my trembling hands,But I can still hear themGrating, gnashingExcruciating.I shut my eyes tight,But I can see themClear…

Karma
Do not think that I chose youSo I would only let goWhen everything turned amiss.True!I did ponder on it a thousand timesBefore taking a step forwardAnd kissed that past goodbye.

I didn’t hold back the tears threatening to flowWhen the sunset did glimmer its final glow,I watched as the dim curtain drew inAnd felt its strong arms imprisoned me then.I could not wrestle off his steel hold,Tenacious was he, so I’ve been told.Oh, I recall a few wanted to put out my fire,Too obsessed to…

Bullying: a reality, not poetry
At daytime, it hunts me like a stalker.At night, it haunts me like a nightmare.It cuts deep through my soulThat leaves scars, an everlasting tattoo. It preys on my confidenceAnd binds me in decadence.Have I been told to clapback?I was. For I, too, wished to bounce back. But as frail as I was, I crumbled.My…

Her Final Wish
“If I were to vanish from the face of the earth,I wish to convey my message to the people I cherish.And I shall commence it on this note;Do not shed a tear for my passing,’’ “And if I shall be granted with my request,On top of the mound, do not plant red rosesFor I prefer…

The Heart That Once Loved True Lies Here
You proclaimed your intent too sweet for her liking,Perhaps it was one of those scripted litanies.Her naïve heart swooned over your tender words,Unaware her peaceful world would crumble. For quite a while she danced gayly,Oblivious to the looming malady.She sang melodies, laughed her heart outLiving in fantasy, without a hint of doubt. But one day,…
