Destinations


When the heart fills up with rage,

And anger swells up in veins,

The wise ones know,

They must pull in the reins.

 

Blood is the thread that binds to sanity,

It is what sustains peace.

The reason for life to thrive,

The crux of all that is.

 

Distances kill a part of us inside,

Unfailingly, a bit every day.

The shackles must be broken,

If it's not home, you just can't stay.

 

Home is, after all, not just a place,

It is the source of and the fuel for life.

No God, no creator ever mattered,

Blood is what we always live by.

 

But you will never be home,

With your misgivings inside.

Just let go of that shit-

And there, you have arrived.

April Rain


 


Victories fade fast,

As winners win often.

Losses haunt long-

Their memories remain.

 

Tonight, I face,

These lashes, heads-on.

My veils dissolve;

Taking away along, some pain.

 

Reminds me of the time,

When we were young and naïve.

We have aged well, though,

The journey’s been insane.

 

Come here; lay beside me,

Under this pouring sky.

Let us see if we can hold a candle,

In this non- November rain?
