Spring rising

A lush green Thoroughly undisturbed And the bleeding gold Seeping through the crevices Blue and grey – An elongated spine Rising into the sky And a million hands, Comforting the spring Besotten shades of life. The nightgales singing With the rising tides, On this stone encased land The mellow music Sparrs with the wind And with mountains to cross We lie with the Dew ridden … Continue reading Spring rising

Radar

Isn’t it beautiful? Every emotion that passes by A moment to recognize You’re still alive. It’s too short, We are often told Live a life without regrets And yet, we question A simple task, to touch To speak, it’s undefined Yet within a simple moment A constrain forever bound. A million moments To break out soul Yet within the swirling dark Resides a clawing creature … Continue reading Radar

Reflection

Reflection She’s treading. In this weave of sparkling Laughter, we walk alongside, Baiting disasters. When the silence Was a melody that wanders The soul of mortals, parched, The company of a few Bequethes the gloom with a spark. On the side, it remains. The cynicist in every word The doubt in each smile, The broken parts Scorched with mellifluous Words. Its the reflection Caught between … Continue reading Reflection

Let the ugliness … Continue reading Haze

Burning to fly, Rising from the ashes And learning – With each fall, Pleading with the next one To rise.

Hopeless? People say it makes you stronger, eventually. For now, I’ll … Continue reading Phoenix

Discovery

Fill my heart with this feeling That encaptures the broken pieces. I saw the clash of contraries, A melding not mixing Of the light and dark; A powerful symphony. Hollow and content, Wandering till twilight Hoping the answers will suffice. Beautiful, as it wrecks the cynic; What am I to make of existence? Poet’s Note: Have you ever been stuck in crossroads due to simple … Continue reading Discovery

Yearning

Wandering, this summer She spent wavering. This city is a mystery That I cannot fathom; It’s a breath of fresh air And turmoil at heart, It’s like his touch leading you While his mind is afar. A clash of the past and the present, Her mind is yearning While the numbness haunts Her reasoning. Do you roll with it or Do you walk away? Do … Continue reading Yearning
