Ghost of an Old Gray Lady

A passing shower dampens an old cobblestone street
With a rolling fog hanging close to a distant shore
How many years how many seasons would this repeat
Be as many as the smoothened old stones she wore

Silent are the old whaling vessels of a once mighty fleet
Still haunting the cragging coastline of much local folklore
Trancends her airy footprints of a woman once so petite
A tale whose loss and fame still curdle the faded heartsore

A once mighty princess of a new world growing elite
She was so fair and so blessed for all sailors to adore
She married a captain brave and most couragious effite
But for a mighty gale took his life left her a widow threescore

Today the colorful shops attract young couples replete
With all the charm and nostlagia of the past in a tour
Just beware a curse the ghost of an old gray lady bleat
As she still wanders at large spreading her grief all o'er

Before You

Same People everywhere ..!!
I need to get out of this country
Same Story.. !
Same things i do everyday
I think i need a holiday ..!
And I go on and on
Like a Hero with no powers
I still need to move out & on
Gotta throw out your flowers !!

It's time to forget you
it's time to live for me
Gotta hold on to what i used to be
Before you , there were no such thing as a goodbye
Gotta tell you this before i Cry
Give me back my Life

Open Prose in abandonment

blowing

pulling

tugging

beating

endlessly upon my brow



crashing

enveloping

all encompassing

gail force

asphyxiating

the beating inside my breast



who can sail without

the wind?

the hull - weather worn

salt air

cold within

stinging

biting

ripping inside my lungs

fighting

gasping

breathing

extremities

going numb



burning

turning

rope slicing through

well calloused palms

cursing and

bleeding

straining

one more knot among many

this gray

and tattered rigging



the waves come on.

ceaselessly.

as the tides

icy water spray

refreezing this deck

chop

and cut

bang

break and bust.

the ice building

layer upon layer

must unlock this ship from its

slushy moor



hollow thumping

against the docks

slow roll of the Ocean

the swaying of the masts

sails hanging

sadly

heavy with the fog

increasing

turning

steady into rain

incoming downpour

racing into the end of night



darkness settled in

snugly into every nook

every cranny

filling it to its bursting point

burn for only one more night

this dwindling supply of that midnight oil

not for nourishment

nor for warmth

only a little light

i pray

give me something

anything at all

to light the way



the craft pulls slowly away

riding with the

outgoing tide

waiting for that morning ray

hopeful against apparent odds.



the wind starts up slowly

hair slapping against my cheek

the gulls floating and dipping

merely a silhouette over the bow

Open Prose in abandonment - part2

the scream

and cries

skree and skrawl

alight and perch

beady eyes - head cocked

watching me warily

shrieking its call



for encouragement

or for warning

i may never know

the flock had begun

their decent

these foulest of fowl

cluttering

and crowding

my poor deck with this

eternal skwawking

fighting for position among

what appears

to be peers



I gaze and watch in wonder

the fighting and pecking

survival a must

living on

one breathe at a time

shuffling along

the filth and the crust



purposefully exhale

this weight of despair

waiting for the tension to lift

reveal to me

this great and good plan

Gods mighty decision

for the benefit of man



to be held and loved

trust and respect

abandoned and alone

spite and neglect

yet the Ocean crashes on

my mere presence insignificant

lost in this labyrinth

of utter bewilderment



my mind as numb

as these fingers

clutching the net

cast and release sorrow and regret

all familiar feelings now

as i cut up this bait

blood and meat

and alone i await



loneliness is a feeling

a companion to my soul

no greater addition of joy

fills that burnt hole

look towards the future

that far away horizon of content

always

just out of reach

this watery passing of time

for naught

these years spent



these same waves

may not pass below this craft again

only these same thoughts of despair

and cast away thoughts

of self mutilation

may this surplus of

heartache lend



alone and adrift

the fresh air calms my brain

i question my impulse for death

may be closer to sane

what of those questions

unanswered from Gods own mouth

fully expecting some

unthought reasoning

for me to cast about

Cold Hearted Lover

I guess it's true
What they said about you
Guess they were right after all
I had no clue
What you were
And You've let go..

You loved yourself
Instade of me
You broke the heart
That once you said you need
Told me : who would love you
More than me !?

Well, I never thought you would be so unhappy
I thought You were the one for me

Goodbye , you cold hearted lover
Goodbye , we're ending forever
Im hurt by you over and over
In every mintue im getting older
Next to you Im not stronger
Even if i loved you more then me
Cold hearted Lovers Always Leave .. !!

never listen

I'm sitting here in this chair
Let me cook him dinner before I wash my hair
I've been waiting all day just to hear him speak
Because in the real world he never listen to me
So the door finally open I said hey honey you're finally home
He never said a word that's why I feel so along

I'm wondering to myself is it something that I've done
So I whisper into his ear please listen to me before the dark turn into the sun
He had this look in his eyes as things began to unfold
All of a sudden the room became so very cold
He was holding my picture and he finally spoke
How could you leave me I loved you so
I said to myself there's a reason why he never listen to me
Were both standing in the mirror but his reflection is the only one I c

I hate the fact that...

I hate the fact that I gave you my heart to keep but you tore it apart and leave.

I hate the fact that I gave you my arms to hold but sadly you were so cold.

I hate the fact that I adored you more than everyone, but now I think everything is done.

I hate the fact that I loved you so and finally I had to let you go.

I hate the fact that I thought you were super perfect and no one could compare, but actually you were just a super perfect nightmare.

Trust

Trust is a two way thing
Hearing your fone ring
The other end someone is there
Wanting to know you care

You hurt my trust so many times
I start to read between the lines
Jelousy starts to appear
Your movement i start to fear

I catch you in an act
You tell me its okay
Im just paranoid
Walk away

Telling me everything fine
While you're thinking about a swine
I know things are wrong, I cannot say
Im loosing you every day

Trust is a feeling between
Two minds with one conscience clean
My trust was blind
You played my mind

I ask you for truth
But you say no

Just go

You told me it was my fault, I brought us down
I hope you find happiness your new clown

anything at all - part 2

The craft pulls slowly away, riding with the outgoing tide,
waiting for that morning ray, hopeful against apparent odds.
The wind starts up slowly, hair slapping against my cheek.
The gulls floating and dipping, merely a silhouette over the bow

The scream and cries, skree and skrawl. Alight and perch, beady eyes,
head cocked watching me warily, shrieking its call, of encouragement,
or warning. I may never know, the flock begins its descent.
The foulest of fowl cluttering and crowding my deck with eternal squawking

Fighting for position among what appears to be peers.
I gaze and watch in wonder, the fighting and pecking
survival a must, living on, one breath at a time
Shuffling along, the filth and the crust.

Purposefully exhale this weight of despair.
Waiting for the tension to lift, to reveal to me
this great and good plan. Gods mighty decision
for the benefit of man

To be held and loved, trust and respect
abandoned and alone, spite and neglect
The Ocean crashes, my presence insignificant
lost in this labyrinth of utter bewilderment.

My mind as numb as these fingers
clutching the net, cast and release.
Sorrow and regret, familiar feelings now
As I cut up this bait, and alone I wait.

Loneliness is a feeling, a companion to my soul.
No greater addition of joy fills that burnt hole.
Look towards the future, that far horizon of content
always just out of reach.

This watery passing of time for naught.
These years spent.These same waves
may not pass below this craft again
only these same thoughts of despair.

And cast away thoughts of self mutilation
May this surplus of heartache end,
alone and adrift, the fresh air calms.
I question my impulse for death
- may be closer to sane.

What of those questions
unanswered from Gods own mouth.
Fully expecting some unthought reasoning
for me to cast about.
