Or is it?

I hear a voice,
Distant, yet familiar,
But is it a scream,
or a cry of pain?
Or am I asleep
and part of a dream?
It seems too real,
And sounds too close,
I think it's in pain,
Or am I wrong?
Or is it that
I'm not sane?
I hear it again,
And sit up in panic,
I find myself crying,
Are these tears?
Or is it that
to myself I'm lying?
I know the voice now,
It's an echo of my cry,
I sit alone and shocked,
Is this death?
Or is it a place
in which I'm locked?
I shut my eyes tight,
And cry myself to sleep,
I'm awoken by a voice again,
Distant, yet familiar,
But is it a scream,
or a cry of pain?

Not yet


Angered by the Gods,
Tempted by the Devil,
About to take a leap,
into the unseen
An evil sorcerer
is the world,
And I, his apprentice,
Enchanted by his cantrip,
Ready to go over
to the dark side,
To be one of them,
One among the shadows,
So here I surrender,
Or so they believe,
Because I still carry
a light in my heart,
Call it a tranquil flame
or a raging torch,
It shall never go out,
And even if it does,
For now I say,
not yet, not yet

An Everlasting Walk

It is an everlasting walk
as it always has been,
How far we go
remains to be seen
But stay by my side,
If I am lost, you guide,
Never ever let go
during the highs or the lows,
Don't stop being my light
leaving me alone to fight,
Be my sunrise, be my sunset,
Save the world in which we once met, 
Laugh with me, wipe my tears,
Journey with me through the years,
It is an everlasting walk
as it always has been,
How far we go,
remains to be seen

Ataraxia

Free of eternal anguish,
Free of a damned  fate,
Free to sail on endless waters,
Free to love; unable to hate  
Free of a moral abyss,
Free of ideals to save,
Free to walk till world's end,
Free to breathe; out of the grave
Free of reality and fiction,
Free of a helpless sigh,
Free to love till the end of time,
Free to live; unwilling to die

A Will

Withstanding time's test and trial 
an old pain stays in denial,
A helpless rage engulfed by fire
burning in a world of desire,
This tale seems to have no end,
This broken life may never mend,
The clock ticks, the times roll,
Then ensues a wait to free the soul,
There's still a hope amid all the sorrow
There's still a dream for another tomorrow
Amidst a miserable cold and quiet
there still resides a will to fight

At The Window


I sit at the window
every morning
to see the subtle orange
rise in the east
And moments later,
lemon beams,
pure and free,
fill a dark room
but not the void in me


I sit at the window
every noon
to feel the scorn
of the scathing sun
But I still feel cold
and the air seems still,
morbid and quiet
Staying with me 
like an eternal fright


I sit at the window
every evening
bidding farewell
to the light
The crescendo rises
as the sun goes down
and the music dies
The only sound heard
is then that of sighs


I sit at the window
every night
to embrace a nightmare,
my friend and foe
And as it starts,
I look at the ceiling
to let out a cry
And wait for another day  
to come and pass by 
The World That Spins


The world that spins
in the sky like a top,
No matter what,
it'll never care to stop
The waves that rise
will never calm down
until they crash into rocks
and hear the pieces drown
The fire that hides
in the confines of our soul
will continue to burn
like a piece of coal
The time that flies
will not return again
and we will reminisce 
the love and the pain

I never dare


I never dare
to think of a world,
so dark and dismal, 
devoid of the light 
in your eyes
I never dare
to imagine roads,
so quiescent and cold,
left deserted,
abandoned by you 
I never dare
to breathe the air,
so dry and deathly,
foolishly oblivious
of your scent 
I never dare
to dream of a life,
so eerie, yet endless,
to be lived, endured
without you

Been a while


It has been a while
since I wrote for you
and told you
how I feel 
It has been a while 
since I touched you
and looked
for a kiss to steal
It has been a while 
since I held you close
and saw my world
in your eyes
It has been a while 
since I held your hand
and heard my heartbeats
amidst the sighs
It has been a while
since I told you
that you'll always 
stay mine
It has been a while
since I reminded you
that you'll always be
my Valentine

A chosen path


The fog of an old fear
that loomed over the sky
now seems to have lifted
The aquamarine landscape,
like an empty canvas, 
now awaits to be painted
The light of an undying hope
is now burning bright
with an unbridled flame
The colours of a faded life
are changing shades,
The picture is not the same
With the path chosen,
and a companion in tow,
the journey has begun
Time flies with every step
But there's no need to hurry,
There's no need to run

Happy New Year


When the clock struck twelve
my heart skipped a beat,
I heard them celebrate
while I walked a lonely street,
Then I felt cold
and the air had gone still,
But I told myself
I shall never lose the will,
The drums beat aloud 
somewhere far away,
I wished the night to end
to make way for the day,
I dreamt of her then
as I closed my eyes,
I was at peace for a moment
and I felt my soul rise,
I then heard her voice,
It was telling me to walk,
It told me not to fear
the needles of the clock,
I then opened my eyes 
to be greeted by a sunrise,
I doubted if it was morning
or a nightmare in disguise,
But I heard her voice again
as it rang in my ear,
I smiled as she wished me
a Happy New Year

As..

As helpless as a feather
on a lonesome street  
Letting the breeze
find its way,
As carefree as a rain drop
rolling down a window
Without a clue
where it will go next,
As cold as a silence
inside a prison called life 
Just waiting
for the sentence to end
