Desert

I stand
In the middle
Of nowhere
Of vastness.
I'm in a desert

It feels
Like I'm being deserted.
Left alone
Under the scorching sun
That sears my skin.

My eyes
Can't see clearly
My throat feels
As dry as the desert

Can someone
Give me a cup of water?

The Fire that Flames

There is a small fire
Here in my heart
That gives me life
That makes me vibrant

A fire
May be hope
May be anger
May be passion
May be perseverance

Beware
Of which type of fire
You flame

Winter and A Tree

It is the time of the year
when the snow falls
and covers the ground of the earth
Isn't it beautiful?
But it is cold
can someone help me?

A tree stands alone in the middle of the road
the shadow of the tree is its only companion
The tree does not mind
For there is freedom
That is why it stood ahead
Of the other trees
In the nearby forest

But the tree looks on
to the road
where there are tyre marks
That shows the complicated routes of life
On the endless road that lies ahead

Can this tree continue with this freedom?
Or be hacked by a lumberjack?

Deja Vu

Staunch in my silence
i refused to impose on you
the truth of my realization
for fear it would hurt you
words that i cannot say
scream on the inside
shatters the hourglass
dismantling with time
history has since reminded me
that repetition despises pain
and the only way to relent
is letting it go
spare me from another ride
'cause even fighters need a break
if there is too much at stake
i'd rather give it up and walk away
as for all these strenous moments of deja vu
i'm gladly giving them back to you.....

Freedom

Freedom,
It's not
how you are able
to move about freely;
There's more to it.
It's being able
to make your own choices

Choices in life
choices in friends
choices in career
choices in way of life

Freedom
does not come easily
one has to fight for it
but it does not help
when there's a big obstacle
which involves emotions

Freedom
I once had a taste of it
Only to be robbed of it
Now

How am I to redeem my freedom?
