Sorcery

Sorcery 

When he entered and put on his hat
Lights were twinkling like stars
Audiences sincerely abide his spell
And she whispered;
'Can I ask you the whole Universe'?
He uncoated his longevous sorcery with glitters of love;
'Don't you think now we two make whole Universe'?

Quest

Quest

For years long I espoused the bedlam in my beneath 
I quest the solitary 
The more close I endured; the arouse of ignition was more
This is an unacquainted fervour
I never encountered; neither I will surrender 
I owe it to my breathe, my flesh and my wisdom 
And I had no grip to iniquities and itches 
Like how sand slips from hand

The bedlam denned in myself 
If the warmth of love quest the path
Render my longevous throes and miseries 
If the incessant gaze of lover quest the pearl 
Pierce my heart and reign 
If the bravery of combatant quest the combat
History chisel my fearlessness cruor

Is it the hurricane or the tremor; it is uncharted to me
And the tempest in my core,
It does keep bellowing 
I don't the know the word 
I am not adept in scripting it either 
I must apologize for disturbing and disbalancing my vehemence 
And awakening the equilibrium 
Endowing justice to my robust turmoil 
Whether it is a bedlam or a quest...

Fountain of Youth

The fountain of youth exists within us.
To find this rare elixir is the task.
Without it, life is destined for sickness
And brief existence; having, life will last
A long and healthy, joyous time it brings.
Imbibe the water that flows to the well
That is fed from five meandering springs.
Then daily sip and swallow, never tell
A soul. And jealously guard its secrets
Of health, longevous treasures. Keep your mind
As pure as the liquid quaffed and get set
For spiritual uplifting. To find
This elusive potion I must profess:
Seek but don’t overlook the obvious.
