Pining away

Smiles and happy times bring you to mind,

The one that got away,

Sincere friendship suddenly iced,

Baptized human relations’ complexities

Your minds’ excesses once enthralled me,

And begged for mine to fly,

Though masked in vagueness,

T’was special, you should know,

As it pours in the streets,

Poignant memories tug at my heart,

I resent these recollections,

And the emotions they conjure inside me,

As I scold myself for how I think I wronged you,

Wise whispers hark back the reality

That much time has passed,

And the complexities have turned grave,

Some wrongs can never be exonerated,

This loss saddens me

For such camaraderie visits not so often

Bored Poet

That my mind and heart can’t channel out anything fresh is a cramp,

The voices that clatter inside still resonates the same tunes, pity!

for melancholy has clothed every idea and inspiration, its utter shame!

Frustrates my ego all the more,

Thus I refrain from communion with the pen,

till a novelty rakes my insides,

and I burst with freshness as of spring

till I cease from being so bored with my own thoughts

Transgression

I loved a selfish man,
paid in kind for my transgression,
with his cruelty too much to bear,
my love has mutated to hate,
and it burns as sulphuric, 
at the walls of my heart,
