TO LET YOU GO
You were the sunshine in my life that shined brightly on
me,
You lighted up my life and it glittered the whole day
And you gave me hope and an inspiration to go on my
way.
You gave me reasons to fulfill each day,
With joy and happiness that gleamed wondrously
And to glorify our life that we had everyday.
You and I were like the sun and the moon,
You gave me light of hope and strength to survive
And I gave you mine when you kept your own light at night.
We shared our life together in one universe,
But how can I go on sharing my own...

A CEMENT JUNGLE
Running Along With Scissors,
While Chasing The Shadows,
Hidden In Wide Open Spaces,
Not In Green Grass Meadows.
No Escape From A Handmade
Commercially Concrete Jungle,
The Mass Apartments Making
High Rise Living So Acceptable.
The Silences Can Be So Deadly.
The Silent Fumes From Vehicles
These Computer Driven Wheels,
Eliminating, Too Many Choices.
Chemicals Replacing Fresh Air,
Chronic Lack Of Drinking Water,
Highly Expensive Plastic Bottles
A Highly Unaffordable Disaster.
Really? So Attainable To Others
What...

HAUNTED BY MY LOST DREAMS
3:33 Am, I Wake Up, Fearful.
Haunted By My Lost Dreams,
The Dreaded Nightmares Again
Filled Up With Dreaded Screams.
Left Alone In A Darkened Room,
Shadows Move Around The Wall,
I Wonder Should I Chase Them?
Bordome I Know, Maybe I Shall.
Chasing Shadows Would Have
Been Such A Great Poem Title,
But I'm Sticking With This One
Within My Dreams, For Example.
More Than Just My Nightmares,
Hooked Up, Cooked Up Blondes
Trying To Sell Me All Their Wares,
And By That, I Mean Their Bodies.
Forgotten Dreams,...

DEEP INSIDE YOU
I have a good picture of you
But only from the outside,
Now I want to know you
Also from the inside, too!
Defying time, space or perhaps
Any given circumstances,
I want to be deeply in you
And explore all your inside!
Entering you through your eyes
I would ascend to your mind and
Carefully checking your thoughts
Hoping to find my name in sight!
After inspecting the upper floors,
I would descend to your heart
And explore all its chambers
Hoping also to find my name
Written in any of its walls ...
But only from the outside,
Now I want to know you
Also from the inside, too!

Don't Feel Down
Why you feeling down
The Queen of my nomadic heart
The world still a beautiful place
Never deceive to give solace
The system ever functioning
Wait for your upcoming
Why you feeling down
The butterflies kissing the flowers
Ignoring the chilly wind
With filtered fragrance
Icy river still flowing
The Temple bell just ringing
Why are you feeling down
Although we are poles apart
None can ever separate
When heart is pure
The silent bridge activates
For our mental union
Why are feeling down
Be Yourself for friends sake...
The Queen of my nomadic heart
The world still a beautiful place
Never deceive to give solace

The Temple bell just ringing

Although we are poles apart
None can ever separate

Life's Binary
Pain and pleasure are not two opposites,
No bar there is and they are really twines,
Love is not at all thorn and tension free,
In Polaric tug of war lies our life's decree.
In Nature both calm and tremor prevail,
Life flows with all, going with a glaring trail,
Of both life and death, of joy and suffering,
Of day and night, of love and detestation.
Success of life lies in the reconcilability,
Of both the friendly and the adversity.
Attainment in life is a fine art of the survival.
Love for beauty is the denial of the trivial.
The more we enjoy,...

INTIMACY
And of umpteen moments, a life, unlived
It's flame of warm intimacy
Shielded deep, so untold
Of a heart, love strung in sad harmony;
In that ever and ever
Of solitary bind, with me
Were many moons of suns and stars,
Our intimacy ,a secret we share
As none other, my heart's suitor;
Yet, a sleepless heart in that borrow,
Is not without expectation and desire,
Maybe tomorrow, maybe a portent, on a flaming arrow
It's flame of warm intimacy
Shielded deep, so untold
Of a heart, love strung in sad harmony;
In that ever and ever
Of solitary bind, with me
Were many moons of suns and stars,
Our intimacy ,a secret we share
As none other, my heart's suitor;
Yet, a sleepless heart in that borrow,
Is not without expectation and desire,
Maybe tomorrow, maybe a portent, on a flaming arrow

- Tend Me Well-
With eyes closed, I want to fall in love with you,
With no helmet, knee pads or parachute on, I want to dive into your heart,
Barefooted, fast I want to run for you,
Carelessly into your arms I will to jump, therein to dwell.
.
But first,
Are you as real as you seem?
Are you indeed beautiful, of charming elegance?
Are you sweet, like the curves that expose your unbelievable build?
Are you loving, with a caring heart ?
.
For I'm reckless, a big-appetite romantic,
And so I will need you to shield me,
I'm an emotional male, whose heart easily...

TURNING A NEW LEAF
After so much celebration
To welcome the New Year,
It is time for some reflections
And I am not the exception,
My past buried and dried my tears,
Time has arrived to move on
And clearly sing a new song!
While walking through the streets
Of this now clean and quiet city,
I am caressed by the cold breeze
Of this January's first week,
Feeling no remorse of self pity
For things I have done last year!
Convinced I am now that the wind
Of this New Year will definitely blow
Towards new and brighter horizons
When people will wake up from...

You & I
Yours is the night
I am its color
Yours is the light
I'm its shade
Yours is the glamour
I'm its ecstasy
Yours is the time
I'm those moments
Yours are the smiles
I'm their memories.
If you're a poem
I am the meaning
If you are the quill
I am its ink
If you be the roses
I will be the humus
If you be the thorns
I shall be the balm
If you be mere pages
I shall be their words.
If you be the bed
I will be the cover
If you be the chill
I shall be the warmth
If you be the fire
I shall be not ice,...

PERCEPTION OF LOVE
One glance thrown from your ocean like eyes,
One heart has gone insane emitting sighs,
My heart called out your name in every beat,
Can I call this perception love sweet?
This perception I call love, do you feel it too,
The whisper of your sigh, tells me it's true,
The sparkle of your eyes is the testimony,
That can't be dismissed as merely phoney.
In the garden of life, I see your love as a fragile flower,
I see you as a sparkling diamond in life's gloomy hours,
I hear your love in the sweet nothings whispered in ear,
I smell your love in the...

Untitled
Laying on this sweaty bed of this tropical wonderland,
I dream of a luxurious winter lust,
Then you came all the way from my polar dreams with your cold bare feet,
Then you came with the affection for me as an early
Christmas gift,
And now that you've gone, you've gone so far away,
And now I miss you like the desert misses the rain,
I miss you like the autumn misses the red maple leaves,
And now I think of you like the Eskimo thinks of the first
Aurora night,
I think of you like a thirsty Samaritan thinks of an oasis,
And now that you've gone, it...
