THE TEAR
What, to you, does a tear signify?
Joy, pain, sadness, or just something in the eye.
How do you respond? Grasp the shoulders and share the joy,
Hold her close and reveal that it’s a boy.
Give a sympathetic cuddle with it's irritating stroking
Sorry, didn’t realise it was your eye I was poking.

Evaluation
As much try shaking off
odd feeling can’t avoid
On face seems normalcy
deep within I’m paranoid
All evident brave fronts
and donned blasé guise
Reflect chinks in armor
of societal compromise
Frayed old compulsions
often daunt and afflict
Daubed in hues darker
sane rationality restrict
Old emotional stockpile
intrinsically stay...

The end
The end
The time has come for me to go
My life's been hard, as you all know
I've worked hard, all of my life
All I've had is trouble and strife
How I've tried to turn things around,
My hopes my dreams
Smashed to the ground
I've had my highs and I've had my lows
But life has dealt me, too many blows
Endless depression, is getting me down
Can't raise a smile, only a frown
The li...

Insomnia
Like an old friend,
now unwanted.
I stare at the clock,
Heavy eyed,
And wonder,
"Should I sleep now or later?"
For I am not sure anymore,
What is expected
Of a single man,
And I stare at this empty bed,
And miss her body,
And her warmth... And her.

This morning my pen confesses
My orphaned poetry,
protagonist of my sunset,
lyrics roam in disappointment
and disenchantment
The rigor of silence,
feeling that it is impossible
to live without your love
This urge to love you
condemns me to the passion
of becoming a woman on your skin
How many days of nostalgia ran through my body?
How much longing for the kiss that you left ...

Conceded Reality
Few moments desolate
often get you to think
How the twist of events
push you over the brink
Streaks of fleeting joy
abruptly come to end
Sans even little caution
or time to comprehend
Just split of a moment
it hits one ever so hard
Striking at susceptibility
when entirely off guard
Once past the insta...

Annoyance
Confounds very purpose
in the end what it ensues
Logic macabre it nurtures
plain irrationality accrues
Those closer tend to shun
all unknown you befriend
Despise meant well being
disinterest try to pretend
The time will pass you by
in state sorry to repent
Unaware you’re of perils
uncertainties it’ll pre...

No finish line
Tied to the cavities of the night,
life becomes written tears in my eyes;
every part of my body has its wound
and I unceasingly wander in the aggregate pitfalls of a fog
Before me the cross of loneliness turns to me,
pass painful valleys,
there’s nothing left standing
only dents in my soul
Between fear and courage,
cold and misery tally each step,
waiting is...
