Estranged Life

I am sorry, Life
I want to enjoy you,
touch and feel you
Share joys and sorrows with you

But, I am not in the mood
To live and be with you

I cannot leave you, unfortunately
I have promises to keep,
people who expect me to live

But, I promise you
We won't meet next time
I shall be free from you
and so shall you be

An ode to Sunshine

Where is all the sunshine
have they abandoned me
left me lonely in rain

Puddles in my mind
floods my heart

Happy, nice sunshine
Will you ever come back
to brighten this dark, clammy life

New Jersey

Slimy days...
Wet and gross
Dark cloudy rainy skies
Painfully dull nights
Every month it snows or rains
Cold, clammy, unfriendly
That, my friend, is New Jersey...

Broken Pane

Cracked from within,
I do not know,
when I will shatter into smithereens

Unknown to the eyes

The mind tries

To tame untamed thoughts

In vain….

Each thought makes a crack

In the clear glass of mind

Un-mendable, breakable mind of mine

Suffers as each new thought brings a craking pain

Turning my mind into a broken, shattered pane
