So Far Away

Folder: 
New Lyrics

 

 

It's been so long since I've seen your face

It's been too long since our last embrace

I only wish I could be there now that you are facing your final days

 

But you're so far away

And I've been drowning each day

Even though I know in the end it will be ok

We're just so far away

 

I'll never get the chance to tell you

Just how much I'm going to miss you

And I'll cherish all the memories that you gave me during my youth

 

Now I'm so far away

And you've been fading each day

Even though you know it's the end and it's ok 

We're just so far away

 

But it will be ok 

And I just want to say

Thank you for putting a smile on my face

 

We're just so far away 

And you've been fading each day

Even though you know it's the end and it's ok

We're just so far away

But we'll meet again someday

And although we know the end is near it's ok

We're not so far away

Not so far away

anymore

Fragile Echoes

Folder: 
Other Poems

Whispers in the dark, a slow decay,
Breathless nights, the light fades away,
In the mirror, I see a ghost,
A shadow of the girl I used to know.

 

Blood runs cold, time slows to crawl,
A rhythm lost, in the silence of it all,
In my chest, a fragile beat,
Counting moments till we meet.

 

And I, I feel it slipping,
Life's grip is loosening,
Heart's a fragile echo,
Fading slow, fading slow.

 

Lonely nights, the stars seem far,
Hoping for a sign, a distant star,
But the weight, it drags me down,
In the deep end, I drown.

 

Fighting hard, but it's a losing game,
Every breath a whisper of pain,
In my veins, a river dry,
Wishing only to survive.

 

And I, I feel it slipping,
Life's grip is loosening,
Heart's a fragile echo,
Fading slow, fading slow.

 

If I could turn back time,
I'd take it all, make it mine,
But the past is set in stone,
And I'm left here alone.

 

Final verse, the story's told,
A heart too weak, a soul grown old,
In the silence, I make my peace,
With the echoes that never cease.

 

And I, I feel it slipping,
Life's grip is loosening,
Heart's a fragile echo,
Fading slow, fading slow.

 

In the end, we all must go,
But in the echoes, we'll still flow,
A fragile beat, a final breath,
In the quiet, I find my rest.

I have had 2 heart issues this year that required hosptilization. This is the result of that...

Why the Ganges Weeps?

Share my charity.
I have become poor after rejecting
the shining star of the galaxy.

You cannot dissect
the sorrow of earth. The world
is very sick and sad.

How will you bridge
the burning river? The space
was less to place the bodies in lines.

A Soft Poem

Folder: 
Satish Verma

I will go away from me
to find your brutal intimacy. The
blood between us stopped to mix.

Not endangered to walk
with me in climbing a volcano. The
pain spectrum starts burning.

A slap of love will touch
you when the sun sets and the moon falls
in your rotating shut eyes.

The Anatomy of Indifference.



Silence swallows screams, unheard, unseen,

Isolation's icy fingers intervene.

Worthless, weightless—a whisper in the wind,

Concern and care consistently rescind.

 

 

Learned helplessness lingers, a phantom limb,

Diffusion of responsibility—humanity’s whim.

Each turns away, eyes averted, hands clean,

"Someone else will help," the collective keen.

 

 

Trust shattered like shards of brittle glass,

Faith in humanity—a fading, futile farce.

Social supports crumble, connections corrode,

Leaving loneliness to lighten the load.

 

 

Voices echo in vacant vestibules,

Pleas for help—perceived as ridicules.

Invisible, invalidated, incessantly ignored,

Self-worth withers, relentlessly deplored.

 

 

Hope's horizon blurs, hazy and distant,

As apathy's armor grows more resistant.

In this wasteland of indifference, we wander,

Unseen, unheard—left alone to ponder.

 

 

The weight of the world, once shared, now solely borne,

In a society seemingly sworn

To turn blind eyes and deaf ears to pain,

Leaving the vulnerable out in the rain.

 

Yet still we stand, silent sentinels,

Amidst the chaos of life's cruel carousels.

Unheard, unloved, but unbroken still,

Surviving spite of society's ill will.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

 I stupidly tried to reach out again for help and understanding. I joined numerous support groups over multiple platforms. One theme connected them all. Ignoring or treating my input with cold indifference. Once or twice you can excuse, people have bad days. Then it became clear. Simply, the world is just not made for people like me. My faith in humanity dwindled as did my trust in people, especially ones who should be allies. I grow weary. I am exhausted. I yearn for eternal sleep.

Interrupted Rations

Poems



Death cap's pale allure


Whispers promises, then chokes


Amanita's kiss

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Mushrooms may be beautiful and taste delicious, but for me, sadly, it's all about the anaphylaxis.


There is a secret message, hiding in plain sigh? Can you decipher it?

Dances through time

Folder: 
Poems

Ancient rites, once revered, now reel

In playgrounds where children peal

With laughter, unaware of the seal

That time has placed on what was real.

 

Solemn steps of shamans past

Morph into games that last and last,

As cultural currents, swift and vast,

Erode the essence, unsurpassed.

 

Tribal truths, once held so dear,

Trickle down through time's frontier.

Sacred symbols disappear,

Leaving echoes faint but clear.

 

Profound becomes profane, we find,

As generations leave behind

The weight of wisdom, once enshrined,

Now light as air and unconfined.

 

From archaic altars to schoolyard scenes,

The dance of time intervenes,

Transforming what tradition means—

A metamorphosis of memes.

 

So sacred turns to silly play,

As yesterday fades into today.

Yet in this change, we might survey

The threads that bind us, come what may

Author's Notes/Comments: 

This poem was inspired by Sir James George Frazer and his theories discussed in The Golden Bough.

Nothing to do with you

Folder: 
New Lyrics

 

 

Therapy

You need more therapy

Remedy

Search for your remedy

Bury me

Come on and bury me

 

Memories

Block out those memories 

Killing sprees

Your verbal killing sprees

Death of me

They'll be the death of me

 

And all the hate you keep inside

Just grows and spreads throughout the night

 

Just one slip of the tongue 

You start coming undone

Lash out at everyone

And then black out the sun

And you wonder why I have nothing to do with you

 

Purity

Forfeit your purity

Vanity

Cling to your vanity

Sanity

Define your sanity

 

But all the blame you cast aside

It slowly devours your mind

 

Just one slip of the tongue 

You start coming undone

Lash out at everyone 

And then black out the sun

And you wonder why I have nothing to do with you

 

Therapy

You need more therapy

Remedy 

Search for your remedy 

Bury me

Just fucking bury me

 

Just one slip of the tongue 

You start coming undone

Lash out at everyone 

And then black out the sun

And you wonder why I have nothing,

Yeah nothing,

It's no wonder why I have nothing to do with you

How else are you supposed to feel when a sibling hates your spouse for no rhyme or reason?

The One

Folder: 
New Lyrics

 

 

When are you going to grow up?

You still smile when you drag me down

When will you figure this all out?

That I am nothing like you now

 

I'm done with the drama

Done with the chaos

Done with believing things will get better

I'm done being blamed for

All of your problems

Done trying to keep the family together 

 

And when all is said and done

I won't be the one

That comes crawling back to you

Because I'm nothing like you

 

When are you going to shut up?

You still gripe and bitch at us all

When are you going to figure this out?

I am nothing like you at all

 

Cause I'm done with the drama

Done with this madness

Done with pretending you will be better

I'm done feeling shamed for

All of your sadness

Done holding onto you like we're tethered

 

And when all is said and done

I won't be the one

That comes crawling back to you

Because I'm nothing like you 

 

I am not like you!

 

I'm done being blamed for

All of your problems

I'm done believing that things will get better

 

And when all is said and done

I won't be the one

And when all is said and done

I am not the one

That came crawling back to you

Because I'm nothing like you 

 

I am not the one

I am not the one

I am not the one

 

When are you going to grow up?
