It's nothing more beautiful in
The world than misty rain
As it falls lightly from the sky
It overpowers your senses
And soothes your body
Relaxing you, giving you a feeling of
Tranquility and peace of mind
The stars were misty
In my days of innocence
where imagination explored possibilities
The stars are no longer misty
in my days of gray
where I've passed through the internal turmoils
of civilization and its illusions
burdened by being a pawn in the war
between the concepts of good and evil
Frightened that the universe
is no more than what I see, as I move closer to death
and realize faith is a tool, stained with the blood of millions
a collector of treasure, dressed in a disguise of deception
I cry for my ignorance and the souls lost in religious wars
I cry for the fate that awaits me
and the mask I wear to my grave
Where I'll pray...that the universe is more than what I see
Pain holds its insistence pressed against me.
I dream of a misty, selfless new morn ~
soft as maternal skin ~
easing me free with a true smile
to greet a
sweet day born!
Beckoning heart for rest
God's haven offers peace*
soothing gloom midst blest bliss
quieting weary soul
tired of woes, drenched with tears
for vibrant hope that reigns.
*2 Thessalonians 3:16 Now the Lord of peace himself give you peace always by all means. The Lord be with you all.

Out of the blue, noticed
The haunt of soulful eyes
Aging eyes with wrinkles
But the same vibe and charm
Sunken eyes grew misty
For sensing same ardour
Place: 3rd
I gaze at sun drenched mists
deliriously stunned
by rippling echos of
wistful sand dune swirl grains
where spring flames shed twilight
on love’s quaint misty shore
Stoically he sat
keeping the tears static
in his misty eyes while
my tears burst like rain clouds.
We let time pass, then rose
to leave the theater.

Misty Roses
Roses brood in thick mists
Veiled in shades of rainbows
Covered with diamond cloaks
Touched by dawn's misty grace
Morning blesses each bloom
Grey doves coo reveille

Like Misty Rains on Hills
Like misty rains on hills
My heart drips with a frill
At fall of every night,
Rocked by her memory
Lingering in my mind
Since fate snatched her from me.
A month of memories,
Are somewhat washed away,
Blurred to my naked eye.
Some I can remember,
Some I chose to forget,
Now just haze in my heart.
We grip hands in shadows
Winds brushing your tossed hair ,
Night dusting dew on our eyes
And silhouette of waves
Fade soft as your salt tears
Wash me from wrongdoings.

Misty Maroon Moon glows,
hazy in cloudy sky
on mystic ebon night !
Moonbeam mesmerizes
whelming muzzy lovers
turning them lunatic.
Misty was not a song,
But a barefooted man
Walking across 'Watt' street
One cold Misty morning.
Gave my shoes to Misty
And became barefoot man.

The spent sun sets in haze,
twilight shines vague template.
Soft breeze ripples dense air,
spreads glazed dust of veiled moon,
silhouettes your shapeshift,
fading in misty night.
the river disappeared
into a misty maze
as rainbow gardens grew
and bowed their pretty heads
like flowers in the rain...
