THE LONELY ISLAND

The moon visits an island

To share its soft light sincerely

But the island fears

The moon will regret to find out

That the island has no beauty to show

                The rain stops by an island

                To share its cool water freely

                But the island fears

The rain will regret to find out

                That the island has no plants to grow

The sun cheers an island

To share its energy abundantly

But the island fears

The sun will regret to find out

That the island has no resources to pool

                The island keeps its distance

                Because its fears

                It will disappoint the moon, the rain, and the sun

And so the island remain untouched

The island remains lonely

PROVOCATEUR

I’m the prince of darkness

I’m an invisble shadow

I’m too mean to forgive

     Blood and tears are my entertainment

     I bring about the most horrible nightmares

     I create disasters

     I spread deceit and fear

Hope and love are my enemies

Souls become my food

Weakness is my strength

Restlessness and pain are my cassock

     Revenge is my only aim

     Supported by the deepest anger

     I ruin plans

     I fill heart with fright

Devils are my followers

Hell is my middle name

Jealousy is my toy

     There’s no peace and togetherness

     In the world I’ve created

     No one can escape

     From the hatred that I’ve implanted

DEAR TENDER EYES

True to your words

That i am a romantic

Though I know

That romantics are fools

Still I persisted all those times

In loving a ghost

And that’s the real proof

Of how foolish a romantic can be

But now when things are settled

I feel so calm and peaceful

All feeling trapped within

Buried deep in months of grievousness

 Were swept away by words of gentleness

Thank you for being so kind and understanding

I can see my way clearly now

And at the end of a long tunnel

There’s even a bright light waiting

A LETTER TO MY EGO

Dear ego...

You’ve controlled me for my entire days

But now I’m saying goodbye to you

      Dear ego...

      You’ve made me dance

      Into the rhythm of selfishness and ignorance

      But tonight, I have the ballroom all to my self

Dear ego...

You’ve thrown me into the river of madness

And hit me with falling rocks

But now, I’m flying over you

      Listen to me ego...

      I’m your master now

      But you’re not my slave

      Because  i still need you to color my life
