POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
Poetry helps to tame those wild thoughts, giving each thought meaning, understanding and eloquence.
Weak Love Bridge
Sweet words fed our hearts
Till we happily built a bridge
Across the seas the length of earth
We built this bridge so huge
Cold nights thought us ways
To smooch and warm our skins
With thoughts of us so close always
We learned to love as mountains
But soon came the jealous
That loathed the joys we shared
It said those words which stirred in us
The hate we have always feared
From afar we watch ourselves
And knew the gorge between us
Such loneliness the fate of caves
Has entered our souls by force
I wish aches...

That loathed the joys we shared
It said those words which stirred in us
The hate we have always feared
From afar we watch ourselves

Such loneliness the fate of caves
Has entered our souls by force

Loving Zephyr
Entwined with zephyr I lay gently still
To let her soft wings on my skin abound
And kiss my tears away with lips so chill
On my smiling face, not one fountain found.
From wild winds she comes out like a cherub
Gliding through the waves trailing the blue clouds
Humming soft tunes to smooch the sleeping shrub
While her breezy limbs dance with verdant crowds
Sober sweats are shy to stare at her face
This great queen so calm with a loving soul
Never once seen a tear on the surface
While she tour the vast earth on duty's role
As oft in...

Never once seen a tear on the surface
While she tour the vast earth on duty's role

A Bliss under the Sun
Lost in a pool of joys
I sought her gracious soul to thank
For in the tone of her voice
I found a way to the bank
Of beauty and goodness
Never once felt nor seen
But through her rare kindness
She wiped my dark heart clean
Before my hazy view
Stood her glowing face
To dry and clear all teary dew
Shedding the light of grace
The form of a pristine day
Arising with each new morning
Like the fair flowers of May
Spreading mid tidal blooming
I am learning the height of love ...

Voice of Poets
Many, with the hand of history
penned down their names.
Most, eloquently
howled in the winds.
The deeds of these men,
traveled from the past
to meet all in the future
on an endless road.
I for one hear
the echoes of their melodies,
the sweet rhymes and
rhythms of their poetics,
their plea and call of the soul
to live in peace with nature;
accepting the gift of life with love
and keeping the garden
of this haven of a cove
life has known,
for the pregnant tommorrow
and her offspring unborn
will soon make...

Love Madness
My feelings grow higher to do abnormal things
Since love scratched the lava flowing from my heart
At times I do sit in the clouds to watch the mountains
Threatening efforts and the normality of the earth
My tears rise to the sky to fall down with dews
This I do marvel at while cuddling my emotions
And yet my voice would ring singing hymns to pews
Overwhelmed, I would stare at my heart's ablutions
One day, I toured deserts in my reverie
Just because of a sight that took my eyes to the stars
And coming home to watch the waves smile and cheer...

A Heart's Decision
Beware!
Of the lamps in our hearts
For we have come to cross-roads
And must part or journey as one
With just two dimly lit lamps
On our seperate ways
Or a dazzling light of love
That had clearly lit our path in retraced steps
Until our hearts saw the cleave of roads
With shadowy choices lingering in the darkness
But through the intensity of our glowing lamps
I see in your face the path I shall follow
Of the lamps in our hearts
For we have come to cross-roads
And must part or journey as one
With just two dimly lit lamps
On our seperate ways
Or a dazzling light of love
That had clearly lit our path in retraced steps
Until our hearts saw the cleave of roads
With shadowy choices lingering in the darkness
But through the intensity of our glowing lamps
I see in your face the path I shall follow

Duel with Fate
While at feast with you my bosom friends
I recalled the while of growth in pains;
In that dark hole with no suns nor rains
Where we once drank to a toast of mutual gains
Once, you were never dissuaded by hurting cold
Nor by ragged cloaks clad about our skins
Such garments we wore as emeralds of gold
A sign of true comradeship in the souls of mountains
We have known the hot springs flowing from our eyes
Sometimes they fall in drops or in a surging pool
Before us are witnesses; the dust and the skies
They outlive years of many thoughts in...

Tell me the dangers of love
Tell me the dangers of love and save my virgin heart
For I perceive mountains before the raining tiffs
Which hinder bouts of passionate depths
In envious loathing of a pristine gift
Should as a lamb I follow my mother's trail
Let me quickly avoid the predators' den
Or a trap set for me to grow frail
And make waste of me in a careless gain
Never will I engage on a tender quest
If my heart is not drugged in this adventure
To scout the height of bliss and learn the best
Now feeding my soul with greener future
For I perceive mountains before the raining tiffs
Which hinder bouts of passionate depths
In envious loathing of a pristine gift
Should as a lamb I follow my mother's trail
Let me quickly avoid the predators' den
Or a trap set for me to grow frail
And make waste of me in a careless gain
Never will I engage on a tender quest
If my heart is not drugged in this adventure
To scout the height of bliss and learn the best
Now feeding my soul with greener future

Lovesick
Love has finally crept into my rigid heart
To make me sick each time of her absence
With yearning thoughts oft tearing me apart
Leaving me so ill only to heal in her presence
Her sweet memories come with frosty limbs
To remind me of the warmth I feel around her
Her face I would trade all to savor a glimpse
Mindless of the cold I have endured so far
If love is bitter-sweet then her lemonade I drink
With a pint of honey to sate my flaming thirst
About the vastness of my convalescent brink
She is one elixir I crave to have first
To make me sick each time of her absence
With yearning thoughts oft tearing me apart
Leaving me so ill only to heal in her presence
Her sweet memories come with frosty limbs
To remind me of the warmth I feel around her
Her face I would trade all to savor a glimpse
Mindless of the cold I have endured so far
If love is bitter-sweet then her lemonade I drink
With a pint of honey to sate my flaming thirst
About the vastness of my convalescent brink
She is one elixir I crave to have first
