POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
Not your cup of tea kind of poet. I write what flows.
Lost For Words
I am lost for words
Thoughts are rumbling in my head
Incoherently
Let this silence speak to you
The things I wanted to say
Thoughts are rumbling in my head
Incoherently
Let this silence speak to you
The things I wanted to say

Defying Limits
Thousand miles away from me
Millions of stars are shining
Or perhaps the moon is lighting
Your blue velvet sky tonight
While I'm here in this lonely room
Waiting for the sun to come down from its throne
As I hide away from its light and heat
Petmeating everything that its rays can touch
Night and day, moon and sun
Two polarities that divides our existences
Yet we converge at some point
Eclipsing the distance and difference of time
We connect in this ethereal region
Defying our physical limitations
We cross...
Millions of stars are shining

Night and day, moon and sun
Two polarities that divides our existences

Words
Words represent my existence
They are mirrors reflecting my inner world
The avenues where my thoughts and feelings are express
As they come and go in a stream of consciousness flowing from my mind
Words paint a multitude of feelings
Brewing inside me that surge every now and then from the core of my being
Creating a canvas of emotional colors in bright shades and deep blues
A kaleidoscope of turbulence and tranquility
Of my heart and soul
Words represent my voice when I cannot speak nor intone what I want to convey
They...

Morning Sun
The bright light of the sun is inviting
Its golden beams reflected in everything it touched
It danced on the wall as the curtain moved to the ruffling of the morning breeze
Another beautiful morning has come to greet this day
I can feel the warmth of the sun
Its sparkling light bathing the trees after a cold night
Nature awakening to its soft gentle rays
My heart feels light, my mood is lifted by its beautiful sight
A contrast to a dark and lonely night that feels heavy at times on my chest
I always look forward to seeing the sun each day
I...

Woman
Words cannot define your essence nor confine your femininity
On your shoulder you carry the weight of the world
Men came from your womb, their strength nourished and nurtured by your gentle hands and caring soul
An angel on earth you are to comfort and heal the world with your light
Nothing compares to you for your grace, your beauty, your strenght, your endurance, your boundless capabilities, your limitless potential and admirable qualities that makes you what you are
Thus celebrate yourself, your being a woman
On your shoulder you carry the weight of the world

Thus celebrate yourself, your being a woman

Lost
So lost am I in this ocean
Drifting far from the shore
Floating in uncertainty
Unsure of where to land
I go with the flow of the current
Surrendering to the will of life
Letting the hands of fate take me
To where I am supposed to be
The waves carry me off
Like a driftwood far into the ocean
Far away from the things I knew and love
I am lost in this tempest
Surging through me
The harbor looks so near and yet so far from me
I feel a sense of hopelessness
Cast away from everything familiar to me
Into the vast...
Drifting far from the shore
Floating in uncertainty
Unsure of where to land

Surrendering to the will of life
Letting the hands of fate take me
To where I am supposed to be
The waves carry me off
Like a driftwood far into the ocean
Far away from the things I knew and love
I am lost in this tempest
Surging through me
The harbor looks so near and yet so far from me
I feel a sense of hopelessness
Cast away from everything familiar to me

Feelings
Feelings
Can drown you
In their waves
In their crests and troughs
Their highs and lows
Rising and ebbing feelings
That are sometimes confusing
You feel them all at once
Making your heart feels raw
Like a string has been pulled inside
And they just overflow
Intermingled feelings
Of love and lost
Of happiness and sadness
Of heartache and heartbreak
And sometimes regret?
But whatever they are
Feelings make you human
They make you vulnerable
They make you the person you are
Can drown you
In their waves
In their crests and troughs
Their highs and lows
Rising and ebbing feelings
That are sometimes confusing
You feel them all at once
Making your heart feels raw
Like a string has been pulled inside
And they just overflow
Intermingled feelings
Of love and lost
Of happiness and sadness
Of heartache and heartbreak
And sometimes regret?
But whatever they are
Feelings make you human
They make you vulnerable
They make you the person you are

We Are Fools
Fools...
That's what we are
You and I, all of us
Playing this game
We call love
Investing our time
For a little attention
For a morsel of affection
For a dollop of love
To nourish our heart
That is slowly eaten by pain
That is gradually harden by time
We play this game
Trading feelings
Hoping to win in the end
Happiness is the prize
That is so fleeting, it doesn't last
And when it flies away
We start the game again
And the cycle continues with no end
We are fools
Falling in and out ...

A New Morning
Another morning
Unfolding to a new day
Like a tender bud
Welcoming the kiss of dew
Unfurling petals at dawn

We Are Like Pendulums
Within a well inside us
Deep feelings brew
Stirring and raging constantly
Bubbles into the surface
Spills as emotions that are overwhelming at times
We are like pendulums
Always swaying in the constant flow of life
Pulled into and out of the vortex of our own chaotic feelings
Like the tides at sea
Our feelings rise and ebb
Between elation and tranquility
Sometimes euphoric other times depressive
We keep swaying between two poles, two extremes of emotional roller coaster
That makes us feel life in...

World of Poetry
There's something about poetry that keeps you spellbound
That pulls you into its web
It is like an oxygen that you need to breathe in and breathe out
You inhale and exhale its essence
It is a kind of tranquilizer that dulls the aches and pains of your brokenheart
Poetry is a place you go to for comfort and solace
When you want to escape from the mundaneness of life
A deep and vast ocean to drown your misery and loneliness when nothing in your world makes sense
It is an alternative to drug when you want to forget something or someone in your life ...

Embrace Your Uniqueness
Don't fret my friend
When darkness looms
Daylight will appear very soon
Delight on this thought
You are different from the rest
Unlike everyone else
Hold that firm belief
Embrace your uniqueness
Start loving yourself
Dispense with loneliness
Sowed from senseless fears
Be like midnight flower
Unfurling happily during lonely hour
Amongst unbudded blooms
Wishing night never end
Fair beauty, nocturnal bud
Scenting breeze, its fragrance
So pure and sweet
