My body is a sea Loud with roaring waves flowing calmly into an end unknown Salt and water make her up and my eyes is their exit channel when my heart crushed with a Lance of despair Sends heartquakes down to the depth of my sea Shaking her foundations, arousing turbulence.
For Stars who Forget how to Shine!
When you were born, You were everything light. Your toothless smile shone like the sun It was the muse for beautiful songs hitherto unsung. Your skin was so smooth That fingers caressed it with purity and joy undefined. You were born light, Your light shone And all people saw when they saw you was a […]
Chinaza!
In the day I called your name In billowy whispers Transported on wings of winds Gentle, yet bold enough to speak that name Which my lips tremble to pronounce I realized fear has its limits, I realized fear could be burnt. Your name like ice Cools the hot liquor Bubbling inside me Passion as if […]
An Unmet Satisfaction.
Why, This one thing I have yearned for That which I have craved, prayed and dreamt about Lands on my laps and somehow seems to cripple me. Why, Love for which I earnestly wished To have my heart beat excitedly for Sits on my heart And somehow I fear I’d die From an un-beating heart. […]

Healing My World..
Everytime I see pain in your eyes, I wish I could cry them away for you. Everytime I see you deep in worry, I wish I could be your warrior, fighting away those worries, bringing back your stolen peace. Everytime I feel your heart cringe in immeasurable sorrow and I see your face wear a […]
Dying in Love..
Somewhere, a heart beats for love, dies again and again for it. Somewhere in death, a heart beats for a love it hopes to possess in life.
Out of Sight, Out of heart..
I knew it would be lonely in here, but having had your heart in life, I hoped it would never forget me even in death. I thought I’d always have it for a companion. How I was wrong!
