The emptiness

In a crowded street
I try to find my way
but I know I am lost
lost in my own thoughts
 thoughts of loneliness
unaware of my surrounding.


people walk pass me
giving a quizzical look
not daring to ask
for they are aware
for my need of isolation
to sort out my thoughts


A hole inside my heart
makes me breathe hard
In dire need of warmth
I shun those memories
but it makes me feel worse
for I am empty within

Wonder why

The immense desire in my heart

To kiss my land of birth

Before I fade from this mortal world

The world that despise me

The humanity seems suddenly ruthless

For the pursuit of materialistic bliss

I too have joined the race of callousness

And in the process lost my ideals

I have had enough of this insensitivity

Where a blood can deceive another

Never had I seen such cruelty

And malice of the other

Gone are the days of principles

The trust and bonds of togetherness

The feelings of shared alliance

Only vile and evil resides.

Time has come

Looking gaunt and pale

I wait for my call

The call that had been long coming

But my folks wouldn’t let go of me

I remind them the law of impermanence

Whisper to them the songs of unrequited love

The tales of blessed togetherness

And the waiting farewell

My spectral thin skin

My feeble wan look

Sends chill to their heart

For now my time has come.
