Wake-up Call

My much-loved surroundings They strip me away from my dear ones Make me go against my will, This the basis I came into being? Ah this isn’t any reason at all! I must find it Till I go back into slumber They keep me pushing away from it These forces are powerful My willpower crumbles…

Black Hole

I’ve lost my dreams Now, Nightmares make me scream The path ahead is blurry You say not to worry I keep on walking nevertheless And, vagueness grows with every step Treading on a forbidden path That’s leading me down into the dark abyss, Sweet Lord, When would I arise? © Soiba

Etheree: “Mother Nature”

Beautiful mountains, Serene trees and streams, My spirit roams freely I may remain here forever waking up in the fresh air, I wonder what would paradise be like? Meadows, cascades, foliage, yes it would be dreamlike Blessings of God bestowed lovingly upon me, I rejoice Oh I am fortunate today I became the nature’s voice!…

Fractured

Capturing what’s inside of me since I’ve been born has not only made me a hushed moron but also a pathetic writer. I always try to hide my sentiments from the world because I can’t show how weak I am to them. To the world, I am the strongest and a cold person who doesn’t…

Tick Tock

Tick tock She’d flee with the clock, Had held him under her spell Was his armour against the world   Tick tock She was rigid as a rock, Held him spellbound He had nowhere to run   Tick tock A new and familiar knock; Trapped badly Sweet misery Certainly, She was the “one”!   ©…

Rotten

Recovery

Fall brings newness with itself. Strange how weathers keep on changing but fall has its own charm. Can’t always relate the charm with warmth or ruthlessness, it’s somewhat mystifying. I remember how my heart was throbbing so badly this time when fall suddenly fell upon me. I wouldn’t say suddenly, I was ready for it…

Haven

Oh mother… I stepped out of my shell Now this world is my cell, I see faces; Ravenous, Coming for me Ah! Where do I flee?   Oh mother… Where have you been? See, They’ve been waiting for me Today, I’m their key!   Alas! Can’t trace my steps back, The path’s full of cracks…

Control

These dodgy times when insanity rules over my perception, All of my rational ticks get rebellious at once!   But, When everything’s about you; I feel splinters inside of me, Shards of inanity, Flying away from each other In every possible direction!   Darling, I’m never a step ahead It’s you who controls my mind!…
