Lone Warrior


In the coliseum of life 

Covered with battle scars

Stands the lone warrior 

   Fighting through the travesties 

   Battling through the bruises 

   Broken by mistrusts

   Mocked by naysayers 

Standeth the fighter 

His heart a bit lighter 

     Torn by fear 

      And his mind unclear 

Will he overcome 

 And breakthrough the scrum? 

    To realize the promise given 

     Many a time to the young ‘un

      And stand up once again 

      For the faith giveth by loved one! 


 The next punch is to the gut

     With his bloodied face 

        He falls flat in the dirt 

Through the clouds 

     Peeks the ray of light 

With memories of the maker 

Giving Solace and Succor 

Kindle the fire within 

As the outer noise gets fainter 

His inner roar gets louder


The man in the ring 

         must persevere 

As victory is not

         for the bravest 

Or guaranteed 

         for the strongest 

But to the one 

Who perseveres the longest

Hand that rocked the cradle

There she lies in her peaceful state  The loving and caring angel;  Bereft of any aches or pain  Ambivalent of trials ordain;  My childhood needs better known Her chastening love I dearly own.  Did I take the hand for granted        Or respect the    time sacrificed?        Time spent burning midnight oil       To mend my heart n soul;        Nurturing my inner spirit         To stand up and be bold;         Providing succor and hope         To take on the bigger world!  The creator always the guiding    light  Listening from within not without;  Always looking for the extra mile  In every action and deed paramount  Giving always with an open mind  With no remorse of any kind  Silent now in eternal tranquility  Lies the hand rocking the cradle  With the me...

Frazzled Universe

In the middle of black wilderness  Lies our beautiful blue universe  Where we engage n traverse  With its large oceans & mighty peaks  Hollowed grounds & Pasteurs we seek  Lush forests & blue sky abound  White silvery land in the north we found  Beautiful birds n animals roam around  Fishes and mighty insects unbound  Within this bountiful universe  Each we build our grand multiverse Some a reflection of our own image  Many a wall and doors to encage Smoke n mirrors to camouflage  And bombs n weapons to damage  Now we build our exotic meta verse  Filled with virtual reality and obverse Everything here is made up and fake  Including the chat that we partake  We show our emotions thru icons  Hiding behind fake identities & lexicons  Baser instincts get unleashed a lot  Contempt and hate occupy prime spot  Do we value the world we have got? Destroying the very beautiful blue ...
