The Gates #haiku #poetry

Outside, awaiting

My turn to get in, looking

For my redemption.

THE IRONY

We trust the Gods

Yet fear them

We fear the demons

Yet trust them to stay out of our way

I

###

“I”.
A boy
A man
A son
A brother
A friend
A student
An employee
But at the very beginning
Before I was anything…
I was.
I just ‘was’.
a being with the sole purpose of being
The one who knew nothing
And the wisest thing I’ve ever been

Apocalypse #digitalart #poetry

Night will be over and morning will come,
The sun will rise, the lotus will open.
While the bee trapped inside was thinking such,
An elephant came along and stomped it up.

Analysis Paralysis

paralysed,

not by chains

but by choices

Yin Yang Sci-Fi!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Would we crave for light the way we do

If there never was a moment dark?

 

And would we be happy the same way

If we didn’t know what it meant to be sad?

 

Questions exist to be answered

Complications are there to be solved

 

Challenges arise to be conquered

Failures are there to be won

 

One exists to give other the life

The duality prevails to keep things whole

 

The Yin Yang of life is beautifully simple

Yet the Yin Yang remains unknown

 

***

This poetry was one my earlier posts, titled The Duality of Life, the inspiration for which came from the immortal words of Lao Tzu in “Tao Te Ching”.

 

There is a world #digitalart

there is a world

quite not like ours

there is a place

that provokes our wildest imaginations

where dawn breaks with a birdsong

and rainbows smile with a million colors

dreamland

promised land

it has many names

…

yes, there is a world

or so I have heard

but I’d like to be there someday

someday

SOME day

let’s hope it’s worth all the wait

 .

Burn

Heat creeps in, sudden

Biting down on your entrails

Pff!

Ashes in seconds

Hardwired To Fail (Phoenix) #poetry #graphicdesign

what are we

but feeble beings

hardwired to fail

and rise again

.

not once

not twice

but every time

stronger

bolder

a little less feeble

.

after all

.

what are we

but feeble beings

hardwired to fail…

Insomnia #digitalart #poetry

###

With sins of a thousand lives

how can I rest and close my eyes

when the dreams are full of screams

and faces

that I defiled
