Heliacal Rising

Everyday I woke up to a world

that told me I was useless

everyday a million insults they hurled

but you always said I was precious

Everyday I woke up to the sunshine

that mocked my existence,I walked a fine line

at times profound at times profane

the insanity making it perfectly sane

You taught me how to live again

to brave each day, let go my fears and pain

For hours you would just talk to me

by being there you made me see

I was special, because you made me feel

I was invincible, My wounds began to heal

I found courage and strength in your embrace

To me you were a gift, God's saving grace

And at last I found some peace

My battered and weary soul at ease

I learnt to stand up once again

To feel the sun, enjoy the rain

I thank the heavens for this blessing

The sway of trees, the gushing rivers to me they sing

The demons of my past conquered and slain

I am whole, the world is beautiful again...

Her Nexus

Dedicated to My Mum.....Ur the best and No matter what I say I Love You!!!

The flow of tears a mere irritation

blank eyes staring at the ceiling

the life slowly draining away....

every call unheard, no reason to stay

Listening to frustrated sighs and broken sobs

the tinkling music of a heart completely shattered

The pungent odor of hopeful dreams.... turned to ash

the cinders flare and die

The destruction complete...

The gentle thud of heartbeats a painful chore

every strangled breath dying on her lips

Every tear a suppressed scream

If only death would come on flaming wings

disguised as comfort, disguised as love

This strangle hold of life relinquished,

Finally....

at peace with herself, at peace with the world......

Idyllic Rapture....

On the fringes of a forest rustic n' green

A lone figure stands unfeeling unseen

the loss, the memories, the pain in his eyes

as his haunting melody reaches beyond the skies

Years of travel, searching far and wide

Swimming through oceans got nowhere to hide

A choice once made, many a moon ago

drawing him away from all that he called his own....

into the unending abyss he was thrown

his past fading,the future unknown

all he ever wanted was to be loved

to have and to hold, his soul,his beloved

Then she came waltzing by

His fevered breath leaving him on a sigh

on a whim he had left his solitude divine

walking unbeknownst through fate's infinite design 

the eyes peeking through long lashes pure aquamarine

cleansing his pain darkened soul to a diamond's shine

A shattered fortress, peeking onto a wondrous day

his loneliness and solitude shedding away

his call returned,the melodies blend and sway

as two souls become one, a symphony gay.......
