Burn Within
I see everyone burning,
to dazzle the world,
people burning cash,
people burning fat,
people burning dreams,
just to be accepted,
just to be loved
from someone
sometime,
I find it useless,
to seek someone,
why not seek yourself,
why not burn within
why not dazzle yourself,
who knows
you might start
loving yourself
in between.
Dread
I do dread
the ghostly shadows
flinching and playing
with the mirrors
making faces
a new one every time,
they whisper in the dark
and laugh mockingly
behind my back
I do not get angry though,
they at least show what they are up to
unlike us who do the same,
but pretend to be angels
all the time.
even in the light.
Heavy Souls
If souls could weigh,
would you quantify them in
for spirituality
love,
hate,
or goodness
within them,
Obviously we will,
to every soul departing
or to every soul suffering.
after all we are used to
quantifying everything
why leave the soul alone?
Clouds Over the Burial
Clouds over the burial
wept in unison,
with the souls weeping,
for the soul heading,
to heaven.
I heard thunders burst,
and the 21 gun salute for you,
teary eyes all around,
all will not be same I knew.
I have your letters,
most of them will I treasure
as reminiscence of time
of someone braver,
someone forever mine.
Like a Smell
He was lying down alone
watching the celestial beauties
some were burning bright
others were exhausted effigies
a wind blew by him
the petrichor smelled fresh
in a night beautiful as this
he wanted to disappear instead
like a faint whisper
more like a smell
spreading every place
where no one ever dwelt
but alas the truth
that is bitter than the wine
he gulped down the bottle in one go
and forgot every sense of time.
he woke up with a headache
lying on the same ground
dusted off his clothes again
and went happily to his town.
