#2 (A Heartbreak)


A HEARTBREAK

Out on a cold London night
I strolled past the lights
Dim and flickering as was
My life, my life here
Blew past me a wind
So frosty and frigid.

As miserable as I was
My misfortune spelled out
In front of me by a voice I
Recognized as that of Fate
Of which I cared so little about
Back the day when I was a free man.

Now I am burdened with
The chains of what resemble
Frigid steel and emotionless silver
A shade so metallic, which has
Seemed to pierce my heart through
An interstice too large for patches.

So disdainful is the feeling that
It kills the soul inside out, and twists
The mind about something that
You wouldn’t likely get back
The image still pertains in my mind, a place
That belonged to her once.

How harrowing it is for one to feel
Utter heartbreak that one couldn’t
Feel anything, anything but a tap
On his shoulder, by Fate herself
Telling him something that he
Cannot ever bear to discern.

The crossroads stood before me
A place hardly illuminated with
Souls and lights alike
A locale synonymous with
My mind and my soul.

#14 (And Hence Love Waned)

  AND HENCE LOVE WANED The once irrefutable belief That love is forever Became a lie with her departure, Her newfound ignorance and anger Following me everywhere like a shadow Clouding my thoughts, making me grieve Reminiscing the beautiful times we had.   Oh we held hands, talked like friends And maybe, just maybe, had fallen for each other, We’d walked miles smiling and laughing, Teasing, getting closer than ever been Ashes to ashes is now what it is With the fire ceased and now the smoke Hanging between, rendering us unfamiliar.   Matters of the heart, as they say, Beguiles the mind, and puppeteers the tongue, With eyes not seeing much far beyond apparent sublimity And the thoughts staying hence on impression and admiration. Now with the notions of ‘love’ ebbing The heart sits alone, crying and the mind, restless Desperate and addicted to the intimacies of the past.   -F. Julian

#8 (Mother)

MOTHER The one with big, caring eyes, Who knows the truth behind all your lies, If He couldn't be there for us all the time, He gave us a mother, understanding and wise! What big hearts they have, who knows, To what extent their love and care goes! She brought us in this world with love so pure, She holds an auspiciousness greater than any rose! Impossible it is, to gauge her care, Who holds a place in our heart, so rare, Infinitely without exception is she always worried, Not one moment without love, I swear! Now, just imagine how bad it would be, Should your mother shed tears while you sit in glee, Truth to be told, the best fortune is, If you have a loving, caring mother, trust me. Enough about a mother could never be said, Who kisses us goodnight whilst we're in bed, Live long mother, for thee shal'st be, Forever, the heart of my head. -F. Julian

#4 (A Eulogy)

A EULOGY For it has been a long Time since I have seen you Buckets have been spent upon Condolences, weeping, and sorrow A pallor on a sallow face was common Among the mourning in the room. Dimly burns the midnight oil Today as a reminder of the grief Rendered by your uneventful passing Away, in the dark, I still grieve Tears shimmer in the silver moonlight Uncontrolled, and saturated with a sentiment. Such a torrid moment had we spent Upon the day you left us upon The world that you had Seen so little of. This is but A commemoration in your name Upon candles and bolides, I wish That you were here right now Right beside me. -        F.Julian
