Reflect my thoughts

Who’s alive?

You ask

The one who is running

Far away from the madding crowd

Or the one

Who stays put and is still free

Answer lies within

Buried deep inside

Why oh why?                                                                      

Restless soul 

Parched life

Bleak and tepid

Lurking in the dark

Seeking the glint of hope

You wish to soar high

Fly with the clouds

Float into nothingness

Into oblivion

Swirling all the way

Perched on the ledge

See life passing by

Now is the time

Jump and live the moment

Live deep

Caress the soul

Ignite the mind

No turning back

Life is now

Here

Misery

Oh misery! When will you leave?

And let me live,

Time has passed, but am still stuck where you left me

Don’t want to dwell on sadness

But the hurt won’t leave my side

Burned and broken                                           

Spirit shaken

Still not done

Taking me down

Round and round

Oh! Misery

You have become my lone friend

Turning my world upside down

No solid ground

To stand upon

A lone cry in the night

Oh! Misery

Hear my empty pleas?

Hear my crying soul?

Don’t look away

Groping in the darkness

To hold on to you

Oh! Misery

My friend

Plunged into darkness

Lost and torn

No hope left

Within my soul

Bruised and beyond

Oh! Misery

Foe turned friend

Break me

Shake me

Tear me

A lovelorn stranger

But I promise

My friend

I’ll find my way

Way back home

Battered and lost

Requiem for my soul

Gather and rise

Rise to life

Seeker

Sweeping away the flecks of dust

As if nothing was there

Why oh why?

Does life teach you a lesson?

When you don’t want to learn

Silvery tears cloud my eyes                                                

When I think about life

Without you

Soul bereft of love and compassion

Why do I yearn for the impossible?

Walking on the broken pieces

Searing pain I can’t withstand.

With wanderlust in my heart

Am seeking the truth

A truth which shattered my soul

But I am here to reclaim it once more

Absolution of self and misery

Freeing my soul from the clutches

Of fears and doubts!

I fly again

With hope in my heart

With joy in my eyes

With love in my being!

I will rise again

A new life will begin

With a new sun

I’ll be the One!
