Broken wings

Colder than the grey winds

That blow from blue seas,

This winter settles on us

Young shoulders bending, almost breaking.

Struggling under the weight of

Expectations, dejection, hope

We try to catch our piece of eternal sky

In between nimble fingers.

Sun peers at us from across the horizon

Setting, to rise on the darker side.

In panic, you look across seas

Tired limbs begging to touch the settling night.

All that I can say is,

Sweet dear of mine

Broken wings too can fly!

Blue windows

Cold blue windows

Shine, in this gloomy night

Alone, in this world of dark times.

Roads criss cross in their chaos

Leading to there, there and there.

Shadows murk in every corner

Sniggering, whispering with winds

Talking of doom, death, end.

A lone streetlight burns

Spilling gold at a distance,

A stranger, a dark silhouette

Walks down this empty road.

Figure of hopelessness, defeat, pain

His feet drag on the cold cold ground,

Making no noise in their wake.

Curtains part, blue open windows

Invite wind and despair of the heart.

Tired eyes look above

Towards a heaven that is always within reach,

But somehow, miles apart.

There are no stars, no moon, no clouds in the sky

Just the ink blue of pain,

As it bleeds for us each night.

Pocketful of memories

Wind in my hair

Sun on my cheeks

Delirious moments of honesty

A few good friends

Song stuck in my head;

Pocketful of memories.

What is future?

What is future
But past coloured with a possibility
Of hopes living and breathing?

What is future
But an illusion of happiness;
One that hides misery of humankind?

What is future
But a lie so true,
One we’re living for?

What is future
But our dreams tied together
Shining in this dark?

What is future
But time repeating itself
As humans and stories get replaced?

What is future,
I ask myself.

But I can’t find an answer,
Can’t decide on a definition
That defines this illusion.
