A Night without Black

I once participated in a challenge among friends to paint a picture of the starry sky. One of my friends ran out of the color black but ended up painting a masterpiece anyway.

Numb

In the midst of darkness as I evade all light,When each sound of pain keeps draining my might,When the smile feels fake And my life’s at stake,and nothing in the world says I’m right When I search for someone as I search for myself,when I crucify my heart and have no one to tell,When all that they can do is

Ashes

Turn back ashes into fire,Bringing out those burnt desires, There’s no reason to burn your graceCrying out your past mistakesWishing that those memories in your nightmares never come Love and laughter fade awayBut the pain here to stayLeavin’ nothing left to sayTo the one that was the one Turn me downAnd let these winds stand quietBurn me downTurn my hopes

About Her!

Her day begins at dusk when the world shuts its eyes,     She walks to the horizon, beyond the blue skies.Her voice beckons kingdoms far and wide,    Longs for her word, the planet’s other side.

Have you ever thought?

Have you ever thought,What happens to the other side?Of the mirror that cracked,Into a million pieces of light. Have you ever thought,What happens to the night?Who no matter how dark.Is washed away by light. Have you ever thought,What happens to the other soul?Behind the heart broken by one word,Which even after a lifetime, is never whole. Have you ever thoughtSomeone
