Self-Discovery

The external world  Resides within my psyche.  I harbor disdain for that world,  Reflecting my inner animosity…  Does this scorn equate to self-loathing?  Does this also reflect the inner chaotic plight? A maze of shadows, veiled from sight.  Yet amidst darkness, dawn breaks free,  With cosmic whispers, awakening souls to be.  In the calm of […]

Navigating Infinity in Futility

My frantic quest to grasp infinity  Leaves me floundering in darkness,  Never melting into the dawn.  Caught amidst the infinitely chaotic  Planetary dichotomy of truth and falsehood,  Good and evil,  Virtue and vice,  Light and darkness,  Joy and sorrow,  That perpetually engage in a game of hide-and-seek,  My thoughts and gazes flutter,  Gaining momentum, yet […]

I Wish to Fly( A Rondeau )

I wish to fly where the doves cry,Soothe their sick souls, wipe their tears dry.Where green has turned red, Nature creeps,Tattered children, hollow eyes, none sleeps,Where Pride and Ego, all sense defy. Where freedom is locked, hope feels shy,Poverty rampant, riches sly,They crave for their love, hatred beeps—I wish to fly. Dark clouds mostly cover […]
