POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
Not your cup of tea kind of poet. I write what flows.
Morning Of My Life ( Triple Etheree)
Night
Is gone
A new day
Is unfolding
In my horizon
New morning of my life
My heart stirs with a new hope
For the gift of another day
I'm grateful for the mornings I wake
For everything that life is giving me
~
Your presence in my life is a blessing
And I'm thankful everyday for you
For your love and your faith in me
You are my serenity
The wings that carry me
Throughout any storm
Life throws my way
I am strong
Cos you're
There
~
You
Are one
Of life's gifts
I'm grateful...

A Grain Of Sand ( String of haiku/senryu)
I tried to keep you
Held you tightly in my fist
But you slipped away
Like small grains of sand
You found a crack, tiny gaps
Between my fingers
You dripped so slowly
Eager to go and be free
Until you are gone
You drifted away
In the changing tides of time
Back into the sea
You were just a grain
Of sand I held in my hand
Gone too soon from me
A passing season
That left a sad memory
A moment in time
Held you tightly in my fist
But you slipped away
Like small grains of sand
You found a crack, tiny gaps
Between my fingers
You dripped so slowly
Eager to go and be free
Until you are gone
You drifted away
In the changing tides of time
Back into the sea
You were just a grain
Of sand I held in my hand
Gone too soon from me
A passing season
That left a sad memory
A moment in time

Beating Around The Bush
Don't complicate things
Stop beating around the bush
Be direct, precise
You lay it on the table
To get your point across
You may hold the truth
The version of your own truth
But I also have mine
Stick to the issue at hand
Nothing is personal here
And if truth be known
So be it let the world know
Your true character
I've nothing to lose
My life don't revolve here
My only regret
Is I was too nice to you
But that is just me
I get attached to people
especially my friends
I...

Random Poem ( String of Tanka )
Insecurity
That comes from low self esteem
Breeds hate that gives rise
To vileness and callousness
A trait to be avoided
~
Your words are mirrors
Reflecting your inner thoughts
Character is built
Snake is known for its venom
A rose for its loveliness
~
Don't compare two things
That don't hold the same value
Night differs from day
And sun is brighter than moon
Though they give light to the world
~
In this vast cosmos
Each one is a star that shines
Brighter than others
But none holds...

Making A Choice (String of Haiku/Senryu)
Life is too precious
to waste on unimportant and meaningless things
I have the power
to choose and to make a choice
That is relevant
Today I'm choosing
Happiness over sadness
To love more than hate
Life is limited
And my time here is finite
Fixed for me by fate
Accepting life's will
Paves the way for happiness
To stay in my life
I choose to ignore
Negative and toxic vibes
That hinders my growth
Nothing can stop me
From growing from becoming
From learning to fly ...

Heart Never Lie
I
Listen
To my heart
And feel its beat
To hear its whispers
And its silent longings
Heart never lie unlike mind
It just feels what it wants to feel
Love stirs in my heart eager to fly
To find home in you and soar in your sky
~
Just feel my love waiting to embrace you
To wrap you tenderly in its wings
I want to swim in your ocean
To fall into your abyss
To be lost in your eyes
Words are not needed
They put limits
To feelings
Just feel
Me

Easier Said Than Done
Some things are easier said than done
Just like promises that are meant to be broken and not kept
Just like some resolutions you make every year only to forget
I can't promise you I will not do any wrong
That's impossible to keep
For I am only human that sometimes forget
I will not always please you sometimes I may test your patience
For I am an emotional being and my emotional state keeps changing and fluctuating now and then
Allow me to be me please don't try to put me into a mold
I won't fit any molding that is contrary to...

The Heart ( String of haiku/senryu)
The heart is complex
It's hard to understand it
The way it beats, feels
It's a deep ocean
That hides so many feelings
Unseen by the eyes
Like a rolling tide
It bubbles with emotions
That surge inside it
It is a fountain
Where love keeps overflowing
Even when it's hurt
A well of feelings
Where pain, sadness and joy dwell
It's never empty
Heart goes through seasons
Of happiness and sadness
Through out a lifetime
It loves and lets go
In its own time and season ...

Summer Heat
My skin is moist
My pores are open, warmed
I can feel the beads of sweat rolling on my body
Coming out from my sweat glands
As I lie in bed waiting for the sun to set
It's late afternoon, forty five minutes after five
A quarter before the Angelus
But the sun is still blazing hot at thirty two degrees Celsius
Unwavering in its heat that is almost unbearable as summer wears on
Rain is a rarity at this time of year
April shower pours occasionally
Summer is a hot season where rain is a rare blessing to all creatures living in the...

Time and Season
Time by the stroke of its hands
Led me to your door
When I needed a friend
Time through its continuous flow
Taught me to trust again
To experience the joy of having you for a friend
You are a gift of time
A spring season of my life
That will one day move along
In the changing time and tides
I can only live in the moments while they last
One day autumn will come
Before I even notice the passing of seasons in my life
And you'll fade away like a falling leaf out of my sight
Life will be cold and...

Seasons
Through out your life
You meet people
You cross their paths
Some stay longer
Some move along
They come and go
Like the changing of seasons
These meetings are not accidental
They are meant to happen
For unknown reasons
That will only unfold with time
People you meet in life are like gifts
They come in different sizes and shapes
In different bundles and wrappings
You will never know what they are, their value and worth
Until you open them up
Some are delicate and fragile that you have to handle with care
Some...

Love
Love is a feather
That drifts in the wind
You will never know
Where it would land or fall
Whose heart it will touch
Whose life it will bless
Many would try to catch it
Some would chase it
But love will only come
To those whose hearts are open to receive it
When love moves inside you
You cannot stop its stirring
Though you cut its wings
It will find a way to fly
And break free from its pinion
Love happens naturally
It cannot be forced
It is given freely without demands
It is like a spring season that...
