To the moon...

When reality knocks too hard,
And the world scars my skin,
The only words that ever makes sense,
Is the rant my brain conjures.

When insomnia strikes a match,
To burn the night ever so slow,
I tend to colour my blacks
With shades of grey and blue.

It is indeed my escapist friend
Who rescues my cold senses,
When I 'm rendered unconscious
By the fumes of today's toil.

When fair skies fail to lighten
The heavy heart that beats,
What then is left to do?
Where can the lonely go?

When restraint is a shadow,
That wanes with the fading light,
I run to my filthy corner
And hide behind the haze.

When obligations hold me fast
And remind me of my defecit,
I let my words enthrall me,
And propel me to the moon.

Eatable Quotes - Infinity

Think long enough and digression becomes the norm.

In the name of life..

The friends we make,
The songs we sing.
All the colours that are
And the flowers that were.

Every coin we own
Every piece of land we dont,
All the stories untold
And the kings and their courts.

For every beetle that buzzed
And all the sciences we learned
For those days of concern
And the bombs that rang.

Every puzzle unsolved
All the bridges that crumbled
Every ounce of determination
And every cowardly act.

Every angry rebuke
All the splashing water
The hordes off laughter
And the murders in vain

All the ties we've made
And the chill of the winds
All the names we've called
And the stars we reach for.

Every word of wisdom
And every cry of pain
All the blood and the strife,
The things we do, in the name of life.

Plea

I live in the sigh,
Of your free wheeling mind.
And I huddle in the shade
Of your caressing boughs.

Grow me a memory
And make it shine bright.
You cut all my wings
And still, You make me fly.

Its neither my time
Nor is the dime.
You are my song,
My blood and my rhyme.

Take me for what I am
And for what I will be,
Take all my joys cause they,
Are no longer for me.

Let me live in the sights
Of your glistening eyes
And hide from the world
In your warmth and embrace.

Sow me a garden
And let it bloom forth.
Let the winds seek our way
And come drifting to us.

Basic doubts

Weary and lost -
Eyes bleary and dark.
What's my role here?
Where do I leave my mark?

No sudden reprieve
Or heroic demise.
Just the dull thudding
Of a spineless surmise.

Slipping away
Yes, I'm sliding on down.
Feeding on thought,
Yet eaten within and beyond..

Momentary lapse
Of a life force that wanes.
Only to materialize
As another victim of disdain.

Hopes and images
Flitting by fast.
Envy, my ride;
Faithful alibi, grandiose pride.

Worthless words
In an estranged mind.
Does it really matter
What I earn or who I find?

Crinkled skin and a life later
Where will my thoughts lie?
Will they let me think?
Won't I be free to fly?
