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
————————————-xxx—————————————
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

Feelings of warmth and cold
-----------------------------------------------------------xxx--------------------------------------------------------
Another summer passes away strangely
A season of warmth, of presence, a feeling unlonely
Many a dream passes by, of clothes, of commitments in love
A sky with scattered clouds or none will stay no more
A sky covered, with dying hopes, all in dust
Imagined an affair with love, before
Coldness comes once before warm again, the winter
For summer shall reincarnate hopes, just after the lonely and cold splinter
A place to fall softly, or so it seems
A place with more love shows and scenes
The summer died this year, with a faint frown
A change of season taking place, thus, presently, summer drowned

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
