Thoughts from my mind

    It is winter time

    Breath fogs up outside tonight

    Wind chills stab like knives

  • A Waste of Time

    Travelled to see the moon

    Brought back souvenirs

    Forgot one thing, myself

    What a waste of time

  • The Man In The Mirror

    by

    , , , , ,

    The man in the mirror, I can’t see
    My purpose not getting any clearer
    My destination not getting any nearer
    Do I belong in the motherland or do I belong here?
    The motherland fills my soul, yet never enough
    Here fills my desires, yet my heart it engulfs
    Not fitting in either place, boon or bane
    The soil there, monsoon and rain
    A spring afternoon enough to stop me from going insane
    The rain here causing disdain, not good for my brain
    Should I leave or should I stay?
    A question I ask myself every time it’s grey
    But a coin has two sides, and mine I must flip to stop me from going astray
    A change of perspective is what’s needed
    A perspective to avoid being conceited
    Like counting coins, I must count my luck
    Increase in gratitude to become unstuck
    The best of both worlds
    The veil across my eyes stops being unfurled
    It flies across the sky as it’s hurled
    Vision clearer, my purpose I begin to make out
    Destination nearer, I know how to get about
    I belong in both as both belong in me
    The man in the mirror, I now see

  • Not My Rose

    by

    , , ,

    One gloomy day, I found a rose 

    Who’s rose was it, I wondered. Who knows?

    I put my hand out to grab it, naive

    But it had an energy that me believe 

    The rose seemed so bright and red 

    It had the cure for night and dead

    Upon a closer look, I saw another’s name etched

    Suddenly, the idea of the rose being mine seemed farfetched 

    Now, I’m more careful the next time I have my hand outstretched..

  • No Living Without Hope

    by

    , , ,

    There’s no living without hope

    Noose around my neck is now a loose rope

    Feel like an apex predator

    Got the antelope in my scope

    If I could catch time in a bottle

    The first thing that I’d like to do

    Is step on the brakes no throttle

    This strain got me thinking like Aristotle

    Our planet dying and no one gives a fuck

    And now it’s probably too late to fix it up

    Even tho it seems like a nerve we’ve struck

    Patience is bitter but it’s fruit is sweet

    Wish I knew that before

    Wouldn’t have chased the glam and the glitter

    Now l’ve learnt my lesson for sure, I hope

    26 but the wisdom of a 100-year-old runnin’ in my veins

    Elevated state of mind, I’m now on a different plane

    Why is it that some of us never learn from our mistakes

    Feel so sick from the evil in this world

    Wish I could fly in a rocket ship to outer space

    Flexing, showboating, boasting, all different names

    It’s this disease that plagues us, it’s all the same

    Our generation is the last before the fall

    Soon it will be time for the rise of the degenerates

    Now that’s a worry for all

    Almonds, pistachios, cashews it’s all a bit nuts

    Cheesy jokes are the only way I can cope

    With all that’s going on in this world

    Feels like we’re going down a slippery slope

    From which there’s no return

    Persevere though we must

    For there’s no living without hope
