Nothingness

Oh, tortured I am

The answer I cannot find

Emptiness assails my soul

Throat parched in agony

Is this the place to be?

Unending pit of nothingness

Black shroud overhead

Glimpse beyond I cannot see

Relieve me of this pain

Fingers barely on the edge

Strength of will ebbing

The plunge so enticing

Dwelling in this empty space

Tis not my will to follow

Faith beckons me past

Dreams of hope flourish

My heart’s sound

You affect me so
I know coz I’m here writing
Writing what I feel
The white blank wall faces me

It gives me hope
This paper hears me
The blinking keys my messenger
Hear the silent sound

This cry of mine
Extends to the air
Wish your ears hear
Wish your heart feels

This passion
I can’t describe
Moments pass without memories
I dream of your presence

Can’t take the waiting

I see you in my mind’s eyes
I miss you so
Can’t stop myself
My heart is longing for you

I wish you are here
Touching me, kissing me
Being with me
My eyes overflow with tears

I can’t explain
This life is mundane without you
Your face etched on my walls
Four walls surrounding me

Why be illusive?
I feel the emptiness
The velvet night expands
Can’t take the waiting

Grey Matter

I should have known
The first time you spoke
I should not have embarked
This journey of false hope

My love neglected
Spilled to the ground
I siphoned it to a cup
Mixed with grit and mud

This heart raw in trying
The grey matter sticks tight
Disappear, disappear!
I will wash it with the oncoming tide

A Lasting Wish

My aspiration to reach out
To reach the edge of sky
Shoot the arrow pointblank
Propelled straight to the clouds

A dream for a fulfilled life
Uncontested contentment defined
Mine is to stretch to the limit
Achieve the destiny of time
