Haze

His eyes were liquid honey Blazing and brimming awake; ‘Twas twilight reflected on his gaze. She stares away, in a daze Instincts clouded and lips locked away, Memories clouded and muddled. This familiar haze…. But, there it stays, The raging storm From a time before dawn. Yet again, the familiar emotions Grips the saint; so silence, Please, let me tame the devil. Let the ugliness … Continue reading Haze

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

Fable

In those moments, The fireflies took over the surface, And the stars whipped past the sky. I lie here, With the dewdrops of night, And the grass tickling my sides. I see you smiling, Looking up, It’s like your mind is wandering With mine; at the very moment Unleash the fairyland On which we travel, Embracing monsters And facing the dreams. I’m next to you, … Continue reading Fable

Yet, she is unbreakable, No, let … Continue reading Long poem: Unbridled Spirit

Within

Freestyle: Within Gasping, Every second with the ever present Choices and confusion. Pundits of perfection, Fumbling under flailing pretense; Gasping – Without any direction, Surrender, To the shackles and be free. But. The haste within Sometimes diminishes; Yet, a single instance, When the soul wanders past The chains of the past. The unknown awaits Gasping, Every second with the ever present Choices and confusion, Rising … Continue reading Within

Soulmate

This poem was inspired by the song ใชใ‚“ใงใ‚‚ใชใ„ใ‚„ by Radwimps from the movie Your name (ๅ›ใฎๅใฏ). Tears dripping from your eyes, Yearning for each lasting moment To grow A little longer, I wish we were wound together; Hearts, ever so closer- A little piece of soul Lost. We wander. I’ve been searching for you Forever. We stand here, In opposite directions, Tell me its true, … Continue reading Soulmate
