Recollecting Fortress

In times when memories are collated in a safe place, a fortress of memories. 

————————————-xxx—————————————

I'll just wait for a while 

While you drown in a sōliloquium of denial

Tucked away inside my fortress of memories 

Walls of a vault crowded with vivid imagery 

Soft, driven, harsh and mad, like some new language

I see a life, and it’s people, profoundly called bondage

Far away from materialistics

Like a deer

Prone to wound

For jests can be feigned for the living

A tiger, a bush, cloaking

You stay in my fortress, bolted

Victimise myself as I see it all manifested

Maybe I’ll just linger here for a while

Not to touch but to take, maybe it isn’t mine

Uncertain times

As we face today (2020). 

————————————-xxx—————————————

Tragedy strikes in the land of the terrified 

Someone knocked, in a weather too fair 

Unknown guest, a resident, soul stood petrified

 The walls have seen two souls and an heir

Furious, walking around a house rarely visited before

And days go by, stranded in rooms, impossible is the porch

Thoughts gather in time, maybe out of season

This time, unresolved pasts linger with conditioned reasons 

Breaths feel like sardonic whispers  in the halted air

Deaths are rising with panic infused boredom within confined layers 

Idealistic thoughts can only so much help you foresee 

Cloud'd, unc'rtain thoughts questioneth me, to be or not to be

Fearing freedom

 ————————————-xxx—————————————
Every day I live, I fear death

Living the life of purpose with no freedom

I try to join the army among them

It’s a life to live they told me the saviours taught 

Have the heart of a giant after you’ve fought 

I live, I die, and death not ends it

Here I live every day, I dear death

Blessed Friend

To welcome a new friend like an old one 

 ————————————-xxx—————————————

Death my old friend

Death, my guardian angel

Take me away from this reproached sanctum

Guide me to a new era of waxed candles

Flames burn low

Mornings reflect gold

I looked over you in times of stress

Bless me as I come to you bearing gifts

Mind Over Matter

A wait for salvation

——————————————————————————————-xxx————————————————————————

Mind over matter

Triumphant 

Fearless

He walks away without a frown

Stood tall in front of a crowd eagerly waiting

A saviour in the land of freedom

The crowd hungry, waiting for food and salvation 

Damnation 

Creatures of the land looking up to a figure, godlike 

Greeting an ancient crucifix 

Fearful of death, fearless of heartache and pain 

Have we made it so far, structure of glue and tar 

Shattered across time, we wait for him

His freedom of the real and reality

Tenants

What of the world we call our own, it never has been.  

Welcome to a land of sparrows, sheep and snow leopards

We invite you to a holy place where we live and kill to procreate

They let us in sardonically into their sanctum, we the shepherds

We walk in to take over their kingdom divine as if it were desolate.

Strategise our advantage, let’s kill one another over disputes and heartache

We survive in a taken land, with pride and honour,

Over boundaries that never existed, slowly killing ourselves with hate

Faded Emotion

When there’s no reason to, but you have got to

Why can’t I love you

Till the end of time, to days when I need you

Cause you make me shy

Cause you make me smile

You make me fly

You get me high

Like two birds in sheets of time

Like a peacock in the clouded sunny sky

Dancing till the end of time, to days I find you

Why can’t I now see you

We can jump in a puddle of joy

We can love, love, love and love

Let us love, dim the lights, time is not enough

Forget/Forgive

Do you raise your questions? 

 --------------------------------------------------xxx----------------------------------------------------------

Are you a part of the vast reality

A place you need with open eyes and dignity

Let yourself chase a place of wisdom and freedom

That new place, a dry one, with only coyotes singing in the land

Let me take you there and feel the losses of mankind myths and the gods

Just forget sorrow you feel and be lost while you feel free in hand

Chase a new myth, one that takes you away, makes you a different soul, while you forget the forgiveness of the lords

Miscalculations

When thoughts seem unmatched with reasons, decisions and the conclusions.

————————————————————————————-xxx————————————————————————

Let’s dissolve a past we lived together 

The music helps it flow and circle perimeters unattainable but fine 

It’s the sound of the liquid gushing and oozing, forming miracles of its own feather 

Soft, mild, warm and high, feeling of your flesh against mine

A feeling we share, like the greens in the divine garden, a garden not for the legions

Let’s resolve that past, together, create a region, new seasons, based on our hopeless miscalculated reasons

River of Sorrow

A letter seeking permission to go down into sorrow(river)

 -----------------------------------------------------------xxx--------------------------------------------------------

Have you allowed me to step into the river’s moonlit glow

Let me step away from the kingdom, freedom and dreams infinite

Dive into the water, like common gulls for fresh, meaty treats

Or like the common gulls hovering over urban wastelands, feigned feasts definite

Close to the water, a river blue, walking down to the glow

Have you allowed me to step into the river, to the river of sorrow

Weary Memory

It was one hot summer afternoon in the year full of unrest

Walking in the sun was hard, a walk needed to calm the heavy chest

I had just met someone with a past, dark and full of fumes

Yet she felt like victory, satisfactory, a feeling of melodious tunes

The heat was a distraction from my feelings, felt so fast

The sun was just evilly smiling, for I felt disturbed by her past

She felt ashamed really, of her past so wild and soar

All I could see was her hair fall smoothly, as her feet were trembling on the floor

A gush of wind took me back in time, to a time where I was alone

It was then I felt the need to turn back and walk the mile again, a mile was difficult and long

I was wrong to think that her past was horrid, that I ran, lest I fall

Not two thoughts could make up for the aberrated scene I caused

Spoke about a time that was gone in the past and flames fiery

The flames were out now, clouds flew by and past was memories, memories are now old and weary

Locked Away

-----------------------------------------------------------xxx--------------------------------------------------------

Still remember the good old days in some little ways

How sweating the sun felt refreshed, how gentle were mother’s breasts

It was all yesterday when we used to walk the grassy land, feet in sand

Walked many a mile, here we stand, with Apartments in place trees, car fumes breeze, a boy, young, screams

Terror on face his, all was lost in the mist, felt his pain, he didn’t know rage, knees went weak in his cage

Had a life to live, a father to follow, lost his will, he was hollow

We still believed in the good old days that we remember in little ways

We still remember the confusion back in those days, where it was warm in many ways

A child was lost in the crowd as he did shout

Voice that went further for his age, yet it couldn’t leave his cage

Coffee in a Whiskey Glass

How one waits for their romance to return, eagerly, sadly, sleeplessly. Their insecurities and thoughts in this patriarchal society. 

-------------------------------------------------------xxx---------------------------------------------------------

As I sit here with coffee in a whiskey glass

Hoping for the time spent apart to roll and pass 

Hoping for my wait, the walk through a forest with smoking grass

Patriarchy, the man, running wild, for a prey, not in the distant mile 

Seek for a you, a version of you, maybe you

Their drools swamp the ground as I wait and search, yet not found 

This day you told me, you’d return 

Now it feels like a maybe, with that sun turn 

I sit awake at night, waiting for you to knock on the door 

I could find an island in your arms, poetry in your eyes and I sit here in pain hoping not for a lullaby 

It’s hard to numb the weight of my eyes, same feeling when I’m mesmerised 

Race to the door, please, as fast, as I sit here sipping my coffee in a whiskey glass
