When I am dead and darkness reigns
My body decays but the soul remains
To the breeze t'will float
Whispering 'I Love You' though mute
...

Lord, it's always a pleasure for me to thank you for
           everything you've given me that makes me what I am;
Thank you for everything that you provide that makes me
           a happy being;
...

Darkness creeps into the bluest skies
And alas, there are your words
The very essence and purpose
Of my day is about to begin
...

O' damsel I caressed
Of sweet love i praised
the lass i sanctify
a goddess of my eye
...

Like a thirsty man trapped in the sanctuary of thoughts
I tread in the tranquility of Hiroshima’s memorial of peace
There, I imbibe every frame of destruction
My innocence wandered to all corners faster than a child
...

The roads are unusually silent
Like a tuneless music room
I felt so deaf to listen to nothing
Aimlessly I am drifted to no where
...

How could I conquer the loneliness of night
When every spark of burning thoughts is pain
And this heart pumped tears and not blood
Shall I keep on weeping and wait for the wound to heal
...

flickers of silver lights
traversed the skies
roaring like thunder's
glaring despise....
...

...

The day is gone leaving scattered emblems
Of once picturesque skies
A cool shadow, flickers of gold
Shimmering beauty captured in vast thoughts
...

there is no poverty in poetry: it is a rich world
of flowers
and magic, of images that imaginations create
a warm sun
...

...

Cómo podría vencer la soledad de la noche
Cuando cada chispa de la quema de los pensamientos es el dolor de
Y ese corazón bombea lágrimas y la sangre no
Voy a seguir llorando y esperar a que la herida sane
...

my longing eyes are deeply staring
at the lying empty bottles of wine
and not so far away, is a misty glass
in it, is a chunk of haply floating diamond
...

i could get tired reading a novel
trudging through all the chapters
paragraph by paragraph
line upon line
...

life is a paradox..
what you WANT
you dont get
what you GET
...

It’s cold and dark everywhere
The clouds kissed the mountains near
The hungry rivers are shouting and swelling
Help! The grassland is drowning
...

the door goes bang

he leaves
with no assurance that he is returning
...

in these lonely summer nights
i occasionally place my bed
in the uppermost floor of my simple abode
it is directly underneath the skies
...

Almost as if in mourning
I typed these words
Quite not precisely like mourning
Yet there is a deep sense of loss
...
