College days

I try and I try to forget
The days of my youth
But the memories of the innocence
Keep slipping my grasp

The days spent wondering
Of things we could become
The nights spent complaining
Of girls we couldn't court

The months in the heat
Roaming aimlessly tween the corridors
The moments we huddled
In the winter's cold

I miss the shoulders
That I'd taken for granted
I miss the bonds
That I believed would never break

The green grass
The empty class
The broken heart
The cold hearth

They all remind me
Of the best days of my life
Of the days spent free of strife
Of friends and promises

Made between brothers

Conflicts of a Broken Mind

“And let there be light!” he said. Thus I believe the universe was heralded; in the glow of divine flash bulb.

Tiny as they were, these devices conceived even tinier contraptions. Innocuous and gullible, a little Earth must have wiggled in the radiance of its mother. Since then life surged; and has never ceased to stop. Life goes along its path, never meaning to stop. Ever so nimble, yet so staunch. It commands its minions in an endless march, moving meticulously with the beat of time. Hitherto, when a new life is born, it chases after the splendor of a butterfly. Alluring and irresistible, the wings of creativity threaten to stray this diminutive mouse from the piper’s entourage. Or does it? Cold and harsh hands tug him along the predestined path, impassive eye...

The Fight

In the dusty roads of life, The heart searches for a friend. In the lonely walks of love, The soul longs for a companion. The darkness of the skies, Dampen the once high spirits. The dreary clouds, Crush the mind's lingering hope. The light that awaits me, Seems to flicker at the distance. And the tunnel seems to stretch, Without an end. Though my legs lack the strength, My sinews carry on the fight. Though my heart has given up, My blood flows hot.
