Reborn...

It's been a while, time, space, distance,
They have all left me in a trance,
I somehow lost my wit,
My heart left me in a splint
Am empty, poetry I don't wanna taint
So I'll just be brief

You see, It's all coming back to me,
I was, yes, I used to be flawless in writing
I had my inspiration, the best of me
My sixth sense, but, with a name
At whose sight my heart flattered
...and hummed to a stop
if I forgot to breath.

Everything was magnified then;
the wit in me, the artist in me...
My fingers always itched to pen
As though I had swallowed Thesaurus
then he left... and all came to a standstill
till today... I think am finding myself again,
...or losing myself.

Am back... my own inspiration

I believed and still do in words. What else is more beautiful that the written word. Nothing can surpass or fathom the essence and beauty of the written word. My verdict: Poetry can change the world!

The place I Belong

By -
It all feels and sounds like a dream, Each day with suprises of its own, I watch the sun rise and am amazed, My world is far different from everyones, It all lives in my mind! In my world there is no class or standard, We all speak in one voice, We all believe in a single religion, In my world there is no Greek or Jew, We all believe in one supreme God! In my world peace abides, We all gaze at the stars, And all things fall into place, There is no fear of betrayal, We all love like tomorrow never comes, We make hay only at day! What is this world, Oh, it was just a dream, Reality gets to me at dawn, I wanna force myself to sleep, And dream all over again! If only I could buy sleep and not the bed! I must rise now, Many things await me, Maybe I will tell you more about my world, When next I go to sleep, Pray that am not too tired, 'Coz then, I rarely dream!
