Passion of Nox
 

[SIZE="4"][COLOR="DarkRed"][FONT="Comic Sans MS"][CENTER]weakness pushed thou to the court of nox,
thou art the slave of passion and love,
the nox caught thee in her thoughts;
into oblivion,as the pond beholding the dove:

the enveloping fragrance of thy acquaintance
all around smelled,
unlocking the doors of patience
the inviting desires of thirst yelled:

courtiers are the stars of dark,
nox and the enslaved burning in the dancing flames;
"be mine";in the rhythm, is the slave's hark;
Talisman of passion,all her magical dames:

nox in flames is thy reflection,
as the Narcissus from that heaven.[/CENTER]

waiting to blossom
 

in a quite autumn,
sitting under a tree ,
a leaf fell,
and birds flee
memories took me,
where i used to be,
laughters all around,
nothing to worry,
i smiled,
a tear came out of my eye,
its no more there,
i could see,
i closed my eyes,
a cold gush of wind,
striking me,
guilt shivering through spine,
reminding of love,
lost by me,
i was alone,
tree smiled,whispered slowly,
its law of nature,
to move on ,
to be free,
shed your sorrows,
live a life,
look at roots,
love is still there,
i smiled again,
there is still time ,
for a twinkling shine,
feeling a beautiful sign,
rays of light,
blurring the shrines,
deepening into my soul,
removing darkness,
what a beauty!
it is destiny,
evolving itself,
firming my belief,
there is always hope,
i opened my eyes,
everything is new,
love is cultivated,
waiting to blossom.

Blithe childhood,
playing,hiding,innocent,
in the shadow of beloved ones,
oblivious of its future

A life,
moving,struggling,winning,
controlled by fate,
unsure of its destiny

A dream
aspiring,prospering,targeting,
makes life meaningful,
ignorant of nightmare

A beauty
attracting,cheering,gratifying,
truly admirable
hidden from everyone

A true love,
flourishing,thriving,blooming,
relieving everything,
so close to heart

A restless soul,
searching,probing,tormenting,
seeking guidance,
nescient of itself

Me
bewildering,fighting,obsessing,
with no desire to escape,
unknown to myself

Last destination,
arranging,waiting,calling
portentous reality
obscured by world

Baffling Confession
 

[FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]I can recall my College days,[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]And those decorous and heartfelt fellows,[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]Where genial guys were busy in flair ventures,[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]With gallant ambitions, with daring aspirations.[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3] [/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]I was a dumb - - - a tongue-tied,[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]At least that’s what the guys would call me,[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]But I would perceive the things in remote order,[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]And all the guys who claim to be patronizing.[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3] [/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]I felt a sickness deep inside,[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]And some excruciating longing,[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]I found a world where I could hide,[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]Where I sought refuge and belonging.[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3] [/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]In Poetry my inner rage,[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]Could find appeasement and expression,[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]Each day I spent locked in a cage,[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]Of alienation and depression.[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3] [/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]And I think of those days,[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]When I would search for some memories,[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]I think I found a better way,[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]I found some meanings and direction.[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3] [/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]No, you would no envisage from me,[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]My fellows think that I am work-shy,[/SIZE][/FONT]
[B][I][SIZE=3][FONT=Times New Roman]I am still myself and will be me,[/FONT][/SIZE][/I][/B]
[B][I][SIZE=3][FONT=Times New Roman]Among these people, silent and voiceless.[/FONT][/SIZE][/I][/B]
[FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3] [/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]And if, my dear, I should express,[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]I would like the world to know,[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]That I refused to live a lie,[/SIZE][/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]That everybody’s face show.[/SIZE][/FONT]

[B]"CATHARSIS"[/B]
I am walking calmly and slowly,
on the road which is wet wholly,
sky is showering its love as rain,
wetting myself i am looking insane,
doors of shops are shutting down,
and i am laughing like a clown,
holding in my hand a cup of icecream,
winter's rain,I and a scream,
my scattered hair pouring drops of rain,
wiping my tears and suppressing pain,
my nose is red,hands are cold,
these moments are precious than gold,
I forgot tensions,worries and cares,
I forgot my present like nightmares,
sips of coffee unlock my unconscious,
I recall memories that are precious,
Cold and dark is December's night,
my memories are warm and bright,
What a Relation between 'Tears' and 'Rain',
I am weeping,noone can feel my Pain!

The New Sun
 

[B]The New Sun[/B]


Tanks are moving forward
Life is shrieking from backward.
The eyes questions the crime,
The innocense of a child inquires
What thy principles of war,
They say no rule exists so far.
It’s the pride of self
It’s the Egos’s craze
Destroythe fields,
Let the trees erase.
Rule the world no matter
what it takes.

Mother nature witness the plight.
Smiles at the pride.
Her voice echoes
Every night has its day
Thy crimes will be questioned
Thou fall has been written.
The new sun will rise,
The pure and bright light
Will shrink the darkness aside.

Letter to the Divine
 

[CENTER][COLOR="DarkRed"][SIZE="5"][FONT="Comic Sans MS"][B][SIZE="4"]In a daze, I devour the book for the leaf blank
Tearing off page out of the book of my destiny,
While writing to You I'm no more a swank.

To indite my lots there's no ink with pens many
I fill up my pen by tear-bottle in casket,
You, above all and I, a none in any.

Wounded heart and soul, by the aging time, in chest;
I loved, as destined for; by your Will
I am a fortune's child but you know my best

I'm ill, swoon in December and April,
My ink colorless, with the feels colored so,
No postman, no address space to infill.

In this night's darkness, listen to my heart's soh.
Oh! be with me for i am a being with nought know.[/SIZE][/B][/FONT][/SIZE][/COLOR][/CENTER]

So many nights,
Went without sight,
Me and my loneliness,
Nothing is right

Sleepless nightly,
Waiting for answers,
Stars in the sky,
Going with rising white

Smoke all around,
Coming from somewhere,
Unlimited thoughts bound,
Ready to ignite

Why such a wait,
Unshared feelings,unspoken words,
Never get it straight
My inner-self in a fight

I am nothing,
I have nothing,
Metaphors of tragedy,
Getting more tight

Agony of lost love,
I am addicted to,
Will end with passion,
My soul going for flight
