A Sequel Book That Describes Life
SEQUEL 1
“Broken Glass “
The world is quiet without a sound
Life seems to have lost its stars
Everything in the universe is static
No sun in the sky, only shadows
Life is bitter and cruel to all kind
Masked without pity on any soul
We do not know what tomorrow holds
Even today grinds and roasts
Life grows through dusts and ashes
It’s never a bed of roses
Tossing us here and there, through
a veiled glass, till we are exposed
Our visions fade with the skies
Hearts unfulfilled and unglad
Whispering thoughts wandering our minds
We yearn for the roses of life
My heart weakens and pangs
Panicking rush flowing through my vein
Fear shivering down my spine
My glass plate breaks before birth
Darkness grows over dawn
Ashes and dust dash into the air
We become blank without visions
Because every silver lining fades
Long gone when life was a beautiful stream
Now, there are rocks in every river we swim
Blocking every voyage we take
Making messy, the dreams we make
Loners in the journey of life, we are
The silence makes us weep
Thrilling our hearts with pains
It seemed the wind stood still
Very loud I echo in my voice
But no one hears me in this strange place
How do we forget today’s pains when
Tomorrow has no hope of light

SEQUEL 2
“The Boy Between Worlds “
I sit with my heart perturbed, under a tree
Gracing my back on its thorny bark
As the jagged body pierced me till red
I ignored the feeling of pain it gave
My solitude became my deepest feeling
As my hands rest on the root and my eyes steady
Within me are mysterious worries
Sinking in the deepest part of my thought
Like the faded torn clothes on me
I wore sadness deep in my soul
The heavy thought calmed my loneliness
What runs in my thought is beyond me!
What does the future hold for me?
Father sleeps unhappy in the grave
And mother still battles to live
That she recognizes her child no more
She’s wholly weak and there’s no win
I am a grown teenager of age four
Dwelling in the midst of dark angels
Disguised as mortals but with evil souls
Life walked hard on me without pity
Driving me to an un-craven wilderness
My soul is feeble for the sorrowful days
Who will be the risen angel that I need?
Every hope dashed to the shadows
My eyes have lost their tears to the winds
The scorching sun dried up every smile
As I swim in the river of confusion
Sadly, my country has no plans for my kind
They know not that I exist, I wonder!
Who am I to be found in their hearts’ bosom!
A destitute child with a future blurred
My life casts a cloudy canvas
As I wander silently my resolute self
Folding my shivered heart in quietness
In readiness for life’s servings
I’m sitting at the edge of my dreams
With puncturing bruises that hurt
Looking at the sky for a silver lining
The sea rises to beckon my heart
SEQUEL 3
“Distant Hope “
As dusk begins to fall
The morning rises with the fallen heart
Of one whose mother died in his hands
No more could I hold back my tears
Thrown into a state of devastation
I lose myself to the greatest shock
I’m deepened with life’s depression
Where will I, my questions unlock?
There’s barely a resonance of joy inside me
A shadow against the blue sky above
The wind dies down!
Every silvered line wrapped in shades
My cravings are green flowers
Falling in the deepest part of me
I’m alive with a dead fantasy
The rain does not pause for the sunshine
I hate me, my instincts fail
And no one gives a care
Hope seems distant from my eyes
I cry silently with my heart hurting
Hopeless nights crept over my soul
Shadow’s curtain cradled my heart
Tilting between realities and fantasies
The night choruses my sad moments
I’m at sea and my world silenced
All endeavors, unyielding
I look to the sky for a hand
All I see, hovering smoking clouds
Day and night, I call for death
That I may rest with Mama and Papa
But it runs far that I can only imagine
Death won’t send me an invitation
I had a dream to change my story
But my weaknesses defeat my hopes
Leaving me to the desperation of myself
I live for a reason I do not yet see
SEQUEL 4
“Resilient Bloom “
When the world doesn’t remember my name
Every morning’s sunrise shall paint me
The yellow brightness of dawn
Will, my dreams, beam
As the rainbow quietly disappears
And the snows come down
My hiding stars shine their light
I rise with the water, flow with the fall
The desires of my heart’s thrust deep
They become evergreen
Without fade, hope arising from the inside
My resilience is graced by the light
As the sunset breaks the evening
And ashes from my past, buried
Darkness is dismissed by light
guarding my empire of illumination
My strength gave power to resilience
Unbelief washed in the Ocean
Fears gone in the winds
Every grief erased, I smile
I was like a wilted amazon sunflower
The amazing touch of sunshine
Rise from the greying times
To kiss me a resilient bloom
Heavens graced my struggle and hustle
With garments of fortunes and abundance
Fountains of splendors fell on me
Sun of wonder revived my dying soul
I rise beyond the heavenly sky
The shining of the sun became my muse
Out of the abundance of its splendour
The eyes reveal the heart’s stars
SEQUEL 5
“Stars in My Eyes “
When the tides roar violently
And life thorns pierce me
My eyes shy with a cry
My heart, heavy with pains
My soul drain in despair
Craving for the bed of roses
But no!
Many times I almost died
Though my shadow faded
The sun rose with life, at dawn
I arose from the grave of lost hope
And the past became stories to tell
It was in my mind to prove the world
That dreams comes true
No one could douse off the fire in me
It’s reality I have conquered the world
Growing up I knew I had the stars
Hiding behind the shadows of my life
All I wanted was to let them shine
Not just near but beyond every horizon
My strength and passion are renewed
With a song in my heart
My dreams arose and greyed no more
I have risen beyond my hard times
My story never gladdened me as a boy
But I believed I could rewrite it
Reminiscing about the memories of yesterday
I put on smiles – I know I’m a winner
Today I see myself in the stage of life
I have become a star fashioned out of shadows
How I did it, a marvel to the world
From every corner, they scream my name
Yes! I make Mama and Papa are proud
In their new place beyond the world
Now they can rest in peace
My name is written in the stars
