The night dawns again,
Black as the day.
There’s no moon or stars,
Darkness lights the way.
The bulb doesn’t glow,
And sheds its dark light.
The Lords of the dark,
Flex their evil might.
It’s just another day in Paradise.

Delusions and Paranoia
Words flow like blood running free; the wisdom of the ages,
Thoughts and concepts which would make fools of the wisest sages.
Emotions rise and fall so unlike a flash flood or freak tide
Tears explode as the black stars burn and the planets collide.

Silent Observer
The rain washed the desert, cooling and cleaning.
A rainbow appeared, giving reality a whole new meaning.
Life and happiness flourished,
As love gently nourished.
But, just as the flowers began to bloom,
They were struck by unimaginable doom.
He watched as it crashed down,
Devastating everything for miles around.
The flowers were incinerated,
And life was obliterated.
The rainbow was obscured by dust,
As love succumbed to lust.
He watched, silently, and a little sad,
Then walked away, thinking “Too bad!”

The Rising
We have lain here in utter waste and stagnated,
While opportunities have been sown and impregnated.
We must rise and drink until we are sated!
We have fared much better than some,
And now our time has come.
We must rise and take back our Kingdom!
We remember the glory of our breed,
We have carefully nurtured the dormant seed.
Now we must rise and take the lead!
We come together and join hands,
As we look towards the lush lands.
We prepare as our army rises and stands!
Long have we suffered foolish banter and prattle,
We refuse to cow down as docile cattle.
Now we rise and prepare for battle!
We burn through heresy and lies,
And forge ahead to claim our prize.
We are ready, now we rise!

Till the end..
It’s funny that you should mention a generation gap,
‘cos there still hasn’t been a hole I haven’t managed to cap!
Your problems and fears I may not understand,
Yet I stretch into the dark to lend you a helping hand!
When you get up from the sleepless bed that you lie on,
I’m there to give you a firm shoulder that you can cry on!
Your face may show a thousand unspeakable lies,
But I can see through to the truth in your eyes!
Your eyes cry out of the seemingly helpless pain,
While your face heroically puts a mask to stay sane!
But no matter how well you act, or try to show,
I will always be the one to immediately know!
And at the end of the day, there’s just one thing I can say,
I’ll be there for you, in every single possible way!
No matter where you go, or what you do,
I’ll always be there for you!
‘Cos that’s what friends are for!

Wind
The sleeping leaves of the trees stirred,
As the clouds of dust slowly cleared.
It came on, gust after gust,
Branches bent with the sound of rust.
The noise grew and fell and rose,
It began, the show to end all shows.
It grew hard and loud and strong,
It blew sharp and hot and long.
Raging fires it began to douse,
And shattered many a strong house.
The heaving seas rose and fell,
The tolling of the death bell.
Mammoth waves soared and curled,
Dust storms twisted and swirled.
Wiping out all, the loose and the pinned,
And so it began, the War of the Wind.

Water
Stirring and melting the lazy dust,
A storm ending its restless wanderlust.
Mashing the hard, rocky mud,
Bringing into bloom the sleeping bud.
The trees shiver in the sudden cold,
And watch as black clouds unfold.
Quenching the sea, thirsty and parched,
Cleansing the earth, sterile and starched.
The mountains watch the rolling mist,
And reel under the might of the rain’s fist.
Solid ice, thinner than blood,
Crushing down in a merciless flood.
Liquid meteors come down in a roar,
Pounding the earth to its core.
The world witnesses the bloodless slaughter,
As it falls before the cold Wrath of Water!

War and Peace
The stench of death in the middle of the night,
Bombs exploding, blinding in sight
No one lives to tell the tale,
And they will all but fail.
Blood stains the earth for generations to come
A billion dead and then some.
Guns thundering all the time,
When killing people is not a crime!
The ground quivers as tanks roar by,
The sky tears as jets scream by.
Homes are turned into debris, rubble and fire,
While politicians call each other “Liar!”
Everyone’s missing, captured or killed,
And those who are found are grilled
The best thing to do is to endure,
But still there is no cure
Age-old tactics and warfare,
And those with power don’t really care,
How many injured and how many dead,
How many starving and how many fed.
They only care about the area they control,
For that’s chicken soup for their strategic soul!
The only difference is between hit and miss,
For this war will be followed by eternal peace and bliss!
…till the next war!

Valentine's Day!
I want to tell you something you probably already knew,
For chances like this, are very, very few,
So I grabbed it to say thank you!
For when I was drowning, you threw me a rope,
When I was in despair, you gave me hope,
When I was shattered, you helped me cope.
In my world, dark days had descended,
And the lords of fear had ascended,
As my days had nearly ended.
But you gave me strength and might,
You gave me the will to fight,
And turned me from victim to knight!
You caught me and broke my endless fall,
And brightened my life with every call,
I know I’ll never forget it all!
You gave me light with every smile,
And although my actions were infantile,
You tolerated me for quite a while!
Simply knowing you was absolute bliss,
And your role in my life, I cannot dismiss,
The small things we shared, I badly miss!
Every day and every night,
You made my life bright,
And showed me the light.
This chance I have to take,
To tell you that I’m not fake,
Consider that, at least for my sake!
Because you make me happy in every way,
I feel honoured and blessed when I say,
I love you! Happy Valentine’s Day!
