POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
Not your cup of tea kind of poet. I write what flows.
A Fleeting Shadow
You came to my life like a fleeting shadow that briefly passed me by
Akin to a whiff of a perfume
passing in the breeze at night
I inhaled your fragrance in that little moments that we shared
I feel you deeply in my soul
I am still inebriated by your impact that left me dazed for days
You linger in my mind like a memory of a blooming rose in summer, its beauty I cannot forget
I searched for you everywhere hoping to find you again
Trying to feel you once more
I look for you in the smell of the falling rain
In the scent of the blowing wind ...

The Cycle Of Time
Seconds tick
Minutes run
Hours move
Days go forward
Months pass by
Year rolls away
In the flight of time
The cycle of time continues
as it flies to endlessness
Life goes on in its infinitisimal flow
We live, and then we die
We become dust
Collected into the ground
Like leaves in the trees we fall one by one in each season
In spring, summer, autumn and winter of our life
We are the fruits in the tree of life
Plucked by the reaper's hand
We are the crops harvested from the field of life by his sickle's compass...

Memories
Memories
Fill the corners of my mind
Light the darkness in my soul
Warm the coldness in my heart
Memories
Happy and sad, bittersweet
A chromatic palette
That paints the canvas of my life
In vibrant hues of life's beauty
And love's sweet pain ecstacy
Memories
Of your warm hello
Of the laughters and smiles we share
Of your silent exit from my life without a farewell or adieu
Fill the corners of my mind
Light the darkness in my soul
Warm the coldness in my heart
Memories
Happy and sad, bittersweet
A chromatic palette
That paints the canvas of my life
In vibrant hues of life's beauty
And love's sweet pain ecstacy
Memories
Of your warm hello
Of the laughters and smiles we share
Of your silent exit from my life without a farewell or adieu

It Was Kismet
It was kismet
That brought me to you
That led me to your trail
And guided me to where you are
It was kismet
That broke us apart
That led you far away from me
And left me at the crossroads not knowing where you are
It was kismet
That wrote our story
That designed the path we took
It was kismet
That brought us to the same circle
And pulled us into the same loop
That brought me to you
That led me to your trail
And guided me to where you are
It was kismet
That broke us apart
That led you far away from me
And left me at the crossroads not knowing where you are
It was kismet
That wrote our story
That designed the path we took
It was kismet
That brought us to the same circle
And pulled us into the same loop

A Withered Rose
A wilted rose is dying
Its petals falling in the wind
Like pieces of my heart
Trails of red petals scattered in the air
Like little droplets of blood
Dripping from my heart
So like the withered rose am I
Dying inside in the pool of blood
Gushing from the wound in my heart
Its petals falling in the wind
Like pieces of my heart
Trails of red petals scattered in the air
Like little droplets of blood
Dripping from my heart
So like the withered rose am I
Dying inside in the pool of blood
Gushing from the wound in my heart

I Love You
I am drowning...
Lost...in the wave of your goodbye
Overcome by a deep sorrow of parting
Vicious pain grip me, like a vise
Ever growing in intensity as days go by
Your sweetness melted my heart, but...
Out of the blue you ended it all
Unprepared for this pain, I was left to bleed, yet I'm dying to say I Love You
Lost...in the wave of your goodbye
Overcome by a deep sorrow of parting
Vicious pain grip me, like a vise
Ever growing in intensity as days go by
Your sweetness melted my heart, but...
Out of the blue you ended it all
Unprepared for this pain, I was left to bleed, yet I'm dying to say I Love You

Just Be There
Baby, please don't go
I'll paint you a masterpiece
On my soul's canvass
Mosaic painting
From the shattered pieces and shards
Of my broken heart
A color palette
Of crimson and vermilion
Shades of blood dripping
Hues of fiery red
Dominating the canvass
Colors of my love
I'll paint you a masterpiece
On my soul's canvass
Mosaic painting
From the shattered pieces and shards
Of my broken heart
A color palette
Of crimson and vermilion
Shades of blood dripping
Hues of fiery red
Dominating the canvass
Colors of my love

Crimson Rivulets
My heart is as dark
As this cold, obsidian night
Drowning in its blood
Crimson rivulets
Dripping from the jagged wound
Of my raw pierced heart
Love is the culprit
That brought all this pain inside
Pounding, biting pain
Is it really love?
Or was it I who brought this
Pain upon myself
The night consume me
In its blackness as darkness
Shroud my mind of you
As this cold, obsidian night
Drowning in its blood
Crimson rivulets
Dripping from the jagged wound
Of my raw pierced heart
Love is the culprit
That brought all this pain inside
Pounding, biting pain
Is it really love?
Or was it I who brought this
Pain upon myself
The night consume me
In its blackness as darkness
Shroud my mind of you

Hear Me Out
Hear me out
For one last time
Read the lament of my heart
I inked for you
You don't have to answer
I understand your silence
Let this heart bleed
Let these eyes cry a river of tears
Let this ink spill undiluted pain
Let me purge this ache, vanish it to oblivion
Give me a dose of nepenthe
I need to forget this pain
I need to blot this memory of you
Let this be a dirge for my broken heart
A requiem to your sudden goodbye
For one last time
Read the lament of my heart
I inked for you
You don't have to answer
I understand your silence
Let this heart bleed
Let these eyes cry a river of tears
Let this ink spill undiluted pain
Let me purge this ache, vanish it to oblivion
Give me a dose of nepenthe
I need to forget this pain
I need to blot this memory of you
Let this be a dirge for my broken heart
A requiem to your sudden goodbye

I Am Lost
I am lost
Drowning
In this sea of pain
You left me
Unable to swim
In this deep ocean
Of loneliness
I can't stop these tears
From falling
I am lost in this torrent
Of pain that gripped me in its claw
Was it worth this pain?
Why? Why does my heart so raw?
Why is this heart so vulnerable?
Why can't it learn to be hard and protect itself?
Foolish heart of mine
So pitiful, always left to bleed
When all it wants is just to love.

The Changing Mood Of The Wind
The wind was blowing with all his might
He hissed and howled through out the night
His mood was foul he was full of spite
That made all creatures shrink with fright
He pounded on the roof like a horse's hoof
So vile was his temper so sour was his mood
Jeered at the windowpanes knocked the curtains down
His voice was loud, booming with a fearful sound
Then his fury turned to the silent trees
That were awaken from their blissful sleep
He shook their trunk and broke their twigs
And without pity stripped their leaves
...

3 Haiku for Valentine's Day
This Valentine's day
Let's pretend to be lovers
Will you be my love?
Forget our friendship
Let's act as lovers instead
As we spend that night
Take me to dinner
Bring me chocolate and flowers
Make me feel so love
Let's pretend to be lovers
Will you be my love?
Forget our friendship
Let's act as lovers instead
As we spend that night
Take me to dinner
Bring me chocolate and flowers
Make me feel so love
