White Shores
White shoresIn the distanceLike flawless pearlsThey endlessly glisten I hear their voicesCalling me inTugging atThe sails within The water surgesAs currents carry meI perch on the white frothOf the waves of the sea Trailing in my wakeBlack clouds fleeAs sunlight piercesThe haze that tormented me Soon I am lyingAmong jewelled sea shellsThe warmth of the… Continue reading

Dead Dreams
It seems my heart Is actually a graveyard With overgrown grassAnd headstones that are scarred Here I laidMy dreams to restAfter failing for so longTo make any progress I sealed these tombsWith walls of stoneAnd tried to forgetThis tragic mausoleum But when I buriedMy aspirationsThere was no roomFor my pain to fit in So I… Continue reading

Rotten
Old milk Stagnates insideCurdling in The recesses of the mind It forms soggy clumps That swell with green mouldPutrid fluids oozing In every fold The brain becomes clogged With this festering messAs envy and jealousy Transform into bitterness Slowly the mind Turns into a gloopAs the head sloshes With this fetid soup Other poems on… Continue reading
