Just another day

-->
Today, like all the days gone by is just another day
Nothing new and nothing much to say
Each moment passed in sad anticipation
None of which can comprehend the poor imagination

The dawn comes on; tis’ supposed to bring new hope
But here the soul weeps, thinking how he will cope
As the moments drag by, the sun is on the head
And when he realizes he is almost dead

He craves that the dusk comes fast
Before light he begins to detest
All he enjoys is the night
Which is a cover to his sad plight

The night he’d love to make it stay
But nature’s rule is against his way
And the hour slowly slips by
There’s non-left to hear his cry

During the night he tries to relax
But instead his mind he begins to tax
Into the depths of his buried sorrows
He is thus made to remember through the morrow

Tomorrow once again becomes today
Slowly and gradually time wares away
The same old stories said once again
It brings no difference but only pain.

You

You are a stranger

A blank wall

Cold

You are so Vain

I dont know you...

A brick falls!

Tumultuous uproar of waves and clouds
Tension and anxiety strikes the air
Feathers flattering at double its pace
The bars of the prison wall won’t move
Hands hit against cold iron rods
Fingers clutch
The air is hot
Beads of sweat roll down his face
Bangs his head against cold walls
The heart beating at twice its speed
How to break the spell
How to get out
The rut is killing
Breathing heavily fingers scaling the walls of death
Hope dying
There’s no light
Frantic
Maddening
Limbs give up
No strength left
Crumbles to the floor
Head arched up tugging at his hair
He is lost…


Then
A brick falls!

And light shines through
Breaks up
Like a prism into a burst of colors
On the beaded sweat
Now drying..the heat cooling
Breathe slowing
Hope soaring
Strength anew
For the wall has now shaken!

As the walls crumble
His eyes straining
Through the light
For a loving glance
Awaiting
A warm embrace
Hope soaring
Anxiety anew
A new wall again raises!

My God!

Know my god! With your grace I carry on
Nothing to ponder and think upon
You I will follow all of my days
And certainly, I know You will guide my ways

How could I tell You what You mean to me
For right up to my core You can see
I love you beyond words compare
And with my heart will always dare

Through thick and thin, good and bad
All times happy or sad
You’ve stood by my side, my refuge and rock
Granting me strength to beat all the shock


Like vintage wine, You grow more dear
With every trial, year by year
No proof I need, no words to say
You're near, my Lord, and here to stay

Colosseum of my mind

There’s a loud echo resounding

The voice undoubtedly is mine

So many thoughts striving its way out

Trying to capture words

That can vent

There are cheers of joy

A tingle from a joke

A burst of laughter

A brimming tear

All

Looking for a way out

Wanting to break free

From the colosseum of my mind
