hubbub

Exuberant and fevered
Infinite thoughts pace through my mind
Feels like ballistic missiles of a different kind
Shooting out in this direction and that
Behind the depth of my cranium are they trapped
Aching to break free
Yearning to get down to their native land
Of art and music and rock and roll
Of Richard Nixon cheating on a poll
Of events in the past and long forgotten
Of loves lost and friendships gone rotten
Of burning desire and jealousy
Covering a spectrum as vast as the sea
Of drama and intrigue and mystery
Of lives lost and those to be
Of wooers and lovers and men sought after
Of the hum of silence and chaos of laughter
Of intense passion and overwhelming glee
Of forlorn moods and blues and me
The colors of life they are a plenty
I've seen them all, and more, and i'm just about twenty
Insatiable remains my thirst
To mingle with the universe
And express it all in myriad lines of verse.

for a friend

Interrogation be thy middle name
'Tis thy inquisitive nature you need to tame
Thoughts wandering out of yer head
Not a single woman do you want to bed
Tis been a long journey from last year to this
From suppression to delirium, something's amiss
Swimming in a pool of chaos
Letting wounds be till they gather moss
Waging a war within
Amidst all that din
An endless pursuit to win
Right means right and wrong means wrong
When things go awry, you break out into song
Oh silent rebel, when are you gonna find your way?
Nevermind!here's wishing you a happy birthday!

of a friend

Deep as the ocean, as fleeting as the sky
Amidst thoughts aplenty, resisting the urge to cry
Melancholic and morbid, staring out the window
Absorbing the emptiness outside
Drowning in regret, stranded in guilt
Beckoned by sorrow, assuming a wilt
Grave disillusionment seeping through every pore
Gust of thoughts swirling, amidst all the furor

resurrect

The mellow din of delirium
Ringing faintly in my cerebrum
Spreading it's tentacles onto every sphere
Building about me, a cozy lair
A cloud of gloom looms large
Soaking in my mind's eye, like a mirage
This vile clasp will i ever shatter?
Into a million pieces of matter
Revealing a new world wrought with beauty
That spreads beyond the call of duty

Solitude

Solitude my companion
Engulfs me like a dark cloud
Always lingering in the vicinity
Like a shadow follows me around
Melancholy be it’s only fodder
Encroaches where there is despair
Will this union be forever?
Alas! In the end no one’s spared!!
These lines are thoughts woven with a golden thread
Solitude my companion
Like butter on bread
Inseparable they are
Few bonds like this exist
To separate the two
All attempts must desist

vanity fair

Inviting wrath and injuring pride
False facades with smiles so wry
Fixating the wandering eye
Endearing and mystical am I
As intoxicating as a bottle of rye
