Featured Poem
Ghost that has no Feet
​
From the heart of a lonely soul
A travel of cruel thought starts.
It took a face to aside a trust
And, dark its intention with evil dust.
It hoaxes me overnight
Colors of love drowning
In the core, I carved
To run in the past of shores
Aimless roams where shown,
Without having.
Passing days were showing
Views, I am demon figure
With betrayal dews
It lies on bedrock and left
Heart astray
And commanded over me
Without feet.
The truth grabbed me one day
When it was done with felony
My wits were gone to find
"Anam Cara"
I started creeping my innocence around.
I went to shake worships at holy places,
Cried out to crew with my soul freely
Then, I came across cooling the fire
That broke the glasses of heart's desire.
