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.
