You vent your pride over a castle Oblivious, you call it yours The earth crumbles it with a slight tremble Leaving you with wails and tears. Do I need to say the pace at which wealth dwindles Or how long people last It takes but a minute to lose them all You believed you gainedContinue reading “What’s yours?”

Don’t Listen
If we stop for a while and look around us, most of us will not find ourselves in the place we wanted to be, someday. We have often changed paths.

A Quintessential Search
Monopolized by her absenceHaving tranquilized my gleeI could find peace in noneExcept being on a search spree. Inside the crevices of cracked self loveAmidst the tangled mess of insecuritiesI thought I would find herPassionately struggling for parities. I passed my nimble fingersAll through my sleek maneI even sought my implausibly artistic eyebrowsBut it was allContinue reading “A Quintessential Search”
