It Stays Forever

It fell from sight as I drifted along
Words that I wish had flown from tongue
Gestures from heart that swayed from path
Call of duty that that my legs dodged
They yet but hollow me from inside

I wish I could but clock my hands
To a better suiting of presented opportunity
And set straight the tilted balance
For I had the weight but not the ways

Lingering thought remains of times
For time can only bury the dead
But the bones stay even after the skin
Deeper into the crust, below a layer
Of hardening clay that forms rock
Dug, by a shovel purposeful enough

The air forgets what once inhaled it
But the soil always knows the thorns
Entrenched in its flesh, deep down beneath
All that time has treated to similar fate
Because nothing dies without the man himself

Spirit Subdued

Kill me for I am not as good as you
Strip me from not just clothes
Rape me for my tongue is not the scorpions’
Dump me to the orphanage for my slow hands

I am your daily amusement
When your mood strikes a jovial hour
And you ravish all that I hold myself for
To give me doubt over my existence

I am your whore and your dog
But when did you become my master?
When did your havoc wreck my stable?
And send my grey mater homeless.

My shaded lenses filtered your vice
And I lend my head to the axe
But remember you, the trespasser
The remains of my carnage still suffice

This cauldron isn’t deep enough to drown me
And it is cooler than hell to boil me
So I stole a dagger in exile, to slit my throat
It has crept along to reach my fingers

I may be still the loyal dog
But my spirit is subdued by that of the blade's
And I may still trod the Gandhian way
But for you I pray, sleep with open eyes
Or you may never close them again, yourselves.

Dare You Break

Dare you light, go
Dazzle the magnets and miracles,
Dare you light
For thy glare I hate,
Dare thee to break the gloom
And bring sane eyes towards my recluse.

Dare you break my idyllic calm
Even if thy think its a helium bubble.
Dare thee lighten up my grey matter
For the darkness comforts mysteriously.
Dare you, bring insomnia,
Sleep and dreams keep me high.

You are best mixed with colors
And darkness, to bring a dim glow.
Just enough to hide the removable
And show what covers the delusion below.

Dare not the noise break the plugged in harmonica
For the demeanor soothes the arid panacea.
Even if the hot air balloon grows in distance
From the ruckus of the reality,
A hole, a fall is all it takes to keep me forever in the haze.

Resurge

Paranoia and negative nostalgia clouds,
Insignificant yet referent people,
Regress like the old wine, stronger.
A race against intuition,
To bury the history, a box of nuclear waste.
The fire still burns, a volcano never dies,
Pierce through the mount beyond what the dog can see,
Its just a proxy for the ocean beneath.
