Inside.

Bottled up inside
Are the words I never said
The feelings that I hide
The lines you never read

You can see it in my eyes
Read it on my face
Trapped inside are lies
Of the past I can’t replace

With memories that linger
Won’t seem to go away
Why can’t I be happy
Today’s a brand new day.

Yesterdays are over
Even though the hurting is not
Nothing lasts forever
I must cherish what I’ve got

Don’t take my love for granted
For soon it will be gone
All you’ve ever wanted
Of the love you thought you’d won

The hurt I’m feeling now
Won’t disappear overnight
But someday, somehow
Everything will turn out alright

No more wishing for the past
It wasn’t meant to be
It didn’t seem to last
So I have to set you free.

Battle of The Souls.

The ordeal, the woe, the pain
Soliloquized in the word and vain
A little girl sheds a tear
Out of steep anguish, grief and fear

Shattered, abandoned and lost
How much the battle has cost
She weeps bitterly over her fate
Shivering slightly in the murky frost

Her tender hands aren’t strong enough
To cradle the lifeless corpses of beloved ones
Her friends and family et all
Have left her stranded here and gone

Yes, gone to the world yonder
Away from the angst of mortal land
But who to care for her
Clutching the last rays of hope
Here she stands all alone.

Timeless.

O life of earth! O dying age!
I'm afraid no one will understand you
but the man with the helpless smile
of one who has lost himself.
Years following years steal something every day;
At last they steal us from ourselves away.
Time the devourer of everything.
Time the healer of wounds.
Time drives onward fast,
And in a little while our lips are dumb.
Let us alone. What is it that will last?
All things are taken from us, and become
Portions and parcels of the dreadful Past.
Thus times do shift, each thing his turn does hold;
New things succeed, as former things grow old.
Through winter-time we call on spring,
And through the spring on summer call,
And when abounding hedges ring
Declare that winter's best of all.
The years like great black oxen tread the world,
And God the herdsman goads them on behind,
And I am trampled by their passing feet.
The Sun came up upon the left,
Out of the sea came he!
And he shone bright, and on the right
Went down into the sea.
The long mechanic pacings to and fro,
The set gray life, and apathetic end.
The innocent and the beautiful
Have no enemy but time.
The bell strikes one. We take no note of time
But from its loss.
Ring out, wild bells, to the wild sky,
The flying cloud, the frosty light:
The year is dying in the night;
Ring out, wild bells, and let him die.
Let the new faces play what tricks they will
In the old rooms; night can outbalance day,
Our shadows rove the garden gravel still,
The living seem more shadowy than they.
Ah! the clock is always slow;
It is later than you think.
I sit with my back to the future, watching
time pouring away into the past.

Untanglement.

My eyes search yours
For a sign of recognition
Of acceptance.

What I find is an echo
Of my hesitant desires
My quiet melancholy.

Time passes by, I wait
For you to register my presence
But you are too distant to return.

What is it that you are so lost in?
Happier times, easier times
Lost love, lost life.

Within you, you look for peace
Shy away from the world that you hate
Is that the answer to my pains too, I wonder ..

You push me away, far away
Say your life has no place for me
Take me in, I say. Let me heal you.

Words refuse to express my emotions
All I have with you are meaningless conversations
Pain and more pain, where is my redemption ?

Bring me back to life, I crave for it
Dont flinch when I reach out to you
Take my hand .. Untangle me >.>

For someone.

"Friends forever", we promised.
"Together till the end."
We did everything with each other
You were my best friend.

When I was sad, you were by my side.
When I was scared, you felt my fear
You were my best support
If I needed you, you were there

You were the greatest friend
You always knew what to say
You made everything seem better
As long as we had each other

But somewhere along the line
We slowly came apart
I was here, you were there
It tore a hole in my heart.

Things were changing.
Our cheerfyl music severed its tone.
It was like having salt without pepper.
A sun without its moon.

Suddenly, we were miles apart
Two different people,
with nothing the same.
It was as if we hadn't been friend.

You had made many new friends.
And luckily, so had I.
But that didn't change the hurt
The loss of our friendship made me cry.

Yes, as we grow, things must change.
But they don't always have to end.
Even though, it's different now.
You will always be my friend.


My first e-poem, dedicated to one of the very precious person in a life which has so little to give.
