Black paint

                                                  Black paint

A mirror cracked,
There fell a tear,
A lonely silence
Looming near.

I wander daily, like a stone
Rise and fall, all alone.
The walls around close up on me.
Will anyone hear me ? Can someone see ?

Lost and hollow, i lie here awake.
The pain, I weep, and then some ache.
I see the light, it's far away
Come, take me off today..

I look up 'the heavens, as i crawl,
reminiscing the days, when i would stand tall.
Heavens, take this off my chest,
Release me from this empty nest.

If only with me, was there someone to talk,
Hold my hands, as i walk,
My heart would not always feel so cold,
I would not so much hate, being old.

So matter not, devil or saint -
O, wash me off this black paint !

My strange love

                             My strange love

Just hold me in your arms tonight,
with the rising echoes of the moonlight.
just hold on and let me cry,
For my tears will tell you, this aint a lie.

Baby kiss me tender today,
and make sweet love to me till the morn.
tonight i just want you to stay,
for tomorrow you may be gone.

Don't fight with me, oh love today,
Just walk with me all the way.
I know my strange love will find a way,
Let's drown in it together today.

Let the smell of my love stain your skin,
remind you forever of our beautiful sin.
This cold wet night it's you and i,
let this moment not pass us by.

My heart is playing that melancholy strain,
evoked by a beautiful pain.
so come closer and love me more,
we have nothing to lose, nothing to gain.

It aches me when you get up to go.
They say you'll leave me, just say it isn't so.
But i know my strange love will find a way,
Let's drown in it together today.

Obliviate

                                         Obliviate

Your ugly lies, your soul scarred
The pieces of you, broken charred.
You dig in deep, you try to hide,
cold darkness, none astride.

writhing 'bout in pain and hate
screaming out, obliviate.

You laugh, but, i know you're scared
lost in hollows, no one cared
memories fade but the pain remains
resonating through your veins.

And you weep lying there in chains
staring at the morbid taints
who are you? are you free ?
your eyes i blinded, you can't see.

No body-mind or face,
I'll sweep you to another place
and as you walk into my world,
tread on diamonds, love unfurled

The cursed voices suddenly stop,
moments stretched t' eternity.
Time melting into drops,
unshackled, your soul is free.

your pores bleed divine scents,
this permanent transcience
there's light here and peace and bliss,
this place is where all just is.
