Don Subba Poems

Does she not see the tears in my eyes?
The pain in my face,
The hurt in my cries.
Does she not notice my head held down?
...

Alone but not lonely
Broke but not poor
Down but not defeated
Smiling, never sure
...

I am Don, the quiet storm,
The hand that steadies, the voice that warms
With hidden ice.
I do not shout,
...

Would still as red as the blood in our veins
A pawn in any other game
Still may be sacrificed, all in vain
...

You kill People so real
With your steel
You think you are a deal
But you are a fool
...

Nothing interests me in this world,
neither life nor betrayal.
Nothing pleases me nor my soul,
neither rise nor fall.
...

The lies that I've told
Good deeds not done
The mercies not shone
Under a dead sun
...

Eyes like yours, baby
it is like heaven on earth
no more misery
I am lost for words
...

He met her just the other day
When the sky was all but gray
He'd been learning how to hide
Every crack he kept inside

At the time you felt that you could climb the highest peak,
take on any task; you thought it all would come so easy,
