I Aged Posting A Comment

While trying to post
A comment on this page
I felt like a ghost
Locked in a cage
It took so much time
I felt I had aged
I had lost my prime
Seems I must disengage.

Cycle

In life
some rain must fall
so that
We learn
To appreciate the sunlight

After
The pouring rain
Refreshed
the Earth
Rainbows bless our sight

And plants give birth.

Undecided Love (Naani form)

Between indecision and ambivalence
In passing Time
Drives Love to Absence
Frail Gemini's crime.

Forgiveness (Naani)

Like uncaged prey set free
Bitterness unchained by a forgiving heart
Paroles the victim
Hate departs.

Goodbyes (Cinquain)

Final
Pains receiver
One English word torments
Said or unsaid it devastates-
'Goodbyes.'

--- ---------------
Quote: 'Goodbye is one word that is never really good.'

Darkness Spreads Its Wings

Darkness spreads its wings
engulfs its Nucleus with fog
injecting Decay
an Erosion now brings
a foreboding Fear
slays the future, Death coming
for Anger has given birth.

Summer Breeze on My Face (Naani Form)

Summer breeze on my face
Touches like soft satin lace
Soothes like lingering melody
Brings back a memory.

Burning Words Cut Love Cords

Weighed down
By burning words

They sound
Like angry swords

Slain hearts
Now lie in discord

Depart...
And cut Love cords.

Wise Investment

I banked
On your love
Invested my life
But the returns
Ruined me
You do not own me
So I decided
To take back
My deposits
Withdraw interest
And regain
Stability
Profit
Is me.

Language Decay (Nonet)

A nation's identity lies tied
To the language of its people.
Essence of culture beating
A country's heart and soul,
When dashed to decay
Profanity
Ushers death -
Nation...
Falls.
