The effort was less, It didn’t require the usual aggression and heart palpitation, That feeling of having swallowed a rock, No weight at all. Subtle emotional connection Like the perfect piece to a puzzle Where your silence is so loud it makes sense You came with the sun, You put the sun in sunshine, That…… Continue reading Light Weight

Sueño
🖼️🖼️🖼️ Do I have your permission to smell the roses? Where tranquility knows no bounds, And there exists only a small time frame to take it all in, Just to make sure that if I don’t have the chance, If it doesn’t work out and all I’m left with are our marred memories, At least…… Continue reading Sueño
Warriors
The battle line is drawn, You are either an ally or a foe, As we draw out our battle axes and slay all those against us. The boundary lines are falling for us in pleasant places. Today the dragon falls, And all his seeds goes down with him, We take a stand to spare no-one…… Continue reading Warriors
Levitate
We don’t have it easy,We do what we can,But if what we can is not good enough,We will try being better,And if you think our better doesn’t cut it,We will never rest,Till our better becomes best.Do you copy?Or should I take it again?The road has never been smooth,The playing field was barely plain,We have gone…… Continue reading Levitate
Game of Ribs
We all couldn’t just know our ribs with their names on it. Back in the day, in the very beginning, it was simple, Adam woke up and found that something was taken from him, and then came Eve God drew the sun right behind her head, allowing the rays of the sun shine on her;…… Continue reading Game of Ribs

Mind over Body
Strength is more mental than physical,You wouldn’t know this because you carry guns,You work out your biceps and triceps but your mind is a weakling.Your six packs will fool you,Your armour, those weights you carry,Boo! You flee from your own shadow in the dark.Boy, you funny.Strength is from within,A master of the mind soul and…… Continue reading Mind over Body

Stone Cold
The past days have been hell for you,I know this because I prepared the fire,Served it while it was blazing hot,And when the fire was about dying out,I added some more coal.Insomnia must have creeped through your walls,With all the doses that kept you up at night.Cold and bitter to swallow,Venom filled words spewed without…… Continue reading Stone Cold
