Life and Death

Life
hurtling forward
for better or worse!!

Death
release of a soul
new beginning




Another take:


Life and Death

At her birth, smiles around
And she was crying her heart out
Smiling now, heavenward she is set
Those around her have their eyes wet




Had to write this too...:)

Insomnia

Insomnia,
loads on my mind;
thoughts roaming free.


I just had to write it down here....:)

Resting Place...Morbid Thoughts

Feelings and thoughts as sinister as the night.
Dark clouds masking the moonlight.

I am here to have my despair released.
The only place where I will find some peace

The graveyard is calm; justifying the end.
For those left here; by strangers, family, or a friend.

The lifeless corpses in the damp graves.
With a few epitaph “in death, he is saved.”

The only remnants of those long since dead;
are the carved stones, placed at their head.

The tombstones are covered with moss and grime;
slowly festering away with passing of time.

Here I stare, standing head bowed down.
With deep longing, into the restful underground

Mask

1)

what dark secrets
hidden there,
scarring her?

face she must
the world though;
her inner fears,
her only foe!

smiling forever
under this mask;
reluctant to reveal
the pain within;
she holds on
head held high.

2)

sitting here with a facade
willing for this anguish to end
which I hide from all
wishing it to go away
let me be free
let me be happy.

Lighthouse

Amidst the shadowy night,
lighthouse stands high,
radiating its golden gleam

Warning ships of unheard
perils lurking in the sea
with its circling lights

Earthquake

Shaking ground
Shattered walls
Shards of glass
Dancing death
God's Wrath
on Mother Earth

Loneliness

Loneliness
I endure
Amidst a crowd
