Gestures

A tarry bright smile
Whispers of soothing sounds
Tantalizing spices of seasoned aroma
Fragrances which evokes the upliftment
Of an unconscious soul
Beauty in it's modest nature
Life unwraps as it flips into series of previewing pages
Flashbacks of captions that entreats the mind
Distorted emotions creates a wavering countenance
Tales of trials
In pills and in portions
It disintegrates every story into pieces of treasured gold
Laying up bounties for a mysterious quest

Wandering

Wandering

Over time I lay awake
Wondering the purpose of it all
The struggle to survive 
And the reason to go on
Why we are born
And why our choice is not engaged in such decisions 
If life ever gets cumbersome; why can't we sleep away
There are questions 
But few answers
I wanted to be happy all the time 
But circumstances were not prevailing to ensure a continous foray of glad tidings 
I wanted to dance
But my body was frail
I wanted to sing
And my voice were mute
What is the sweetest story you ever heard 
That didn't shake or make you
I've wondered what genuine happiness is
But it seemed distant on a continous basis
How do I know my story will end well
But what if ending well was not our purpose 
I've tried to gain understanding 
I've tried to gain knowledge 
Wisdom is profitable 
But even the wise is met with his own fatalities 
Please bring me a cup of wine
Distill it with vinegar and grape fruits 
I know my path is hard
But I believe I'll smile in the end

The Beauty In Death

When the trumpet is finally blown
And the last sigh of breath is left taken
Laying empty of every weight of life's burden
As time elapses into vapor of steamy gases

The ambience of peace is felt
Like the fountain of running waters flowing into a foliage basking with hidden treasures

The trials of life lay captive of mankind
Lamentations of the heart are a fleet too many to care
Sorrow is swept under the rug
Only to tear the threading of its woven upholstery

Let not tears turn you to despair
Be not of a melancholic melody
Find awakening reckoning in a world before time
A place uncovered with trending testimonies
Empty of mans inhumanity
Waiting patiently to crown us all with a happy hat

On the Dawn of Morning

In this trying time
I try to find courage in living
To feel the essence of my breath
In the  ravaging moments of a conscious treachery
Chaos echoes at my sanity
As I question my existence 
In the presence of storms what is life's worth 
I try to find the essence to all existence 
Should we persevere in the spree of stumbling obstacles 
Can one be calm with the touch of burning lava
In the awe for inspiration 
I search in desolate places to find happiness 
Although I know this search is vain
The illusions of a perfect life has continually romanced my fantasies 
As I constantly clash in the pyramid of my thought patterns 
I ask questions  to seek life's bliss
In this fast life 
Dreams soon shatters
In the consciousness of impending adversity
My mind rovers again
Like the planetary orbitals
If this is just another chapter for a predestined fate
This and others
I would never know 
As a philosopher I constantly  seek understanding 
But the passage to the truth only links the door to another unlocked pathway 
Creating barriers as one predicament is solved 
Though I continually grief in this scenery 
I still pray for a day when all things are made equal 
And happiness is a gift lying in every heart

Poetry

A beautiful gift to humanity
Quenching the chaos of our cries
Diluting stones into sugar
Dressing us in warm colors

The mind of a poet is a beauty unseen
His feelings burning with blazing torment
Poetry has brought an unusual happiness
The mind and heart unites harmoniously
Pen becomes paint brushes 
Words create the symposia
A dynamic gift it came without significance
Joy comes in your creativity
A poet in deep misery became light in total darkness

Sleep

The jingles of yesterday
In the memories of hilarious laughter
Like the calmness of ranching orchads
Peace we found at last
Joy encroached lying still
Repeat this generosity 
While enclosed in your stillness
Jingle your bells by our bedside
We've opened the windows
Let this breeze calm the troubled at heart
Delighted! the weather is cloudy
Again and again let the sky cry on us

Happy Times

There are moments we wished had never ended
Memories that could linger on
Bring back those days when my heart was egulfed in so much laughter
The craziness of our youth we wished we would forever live in
An era I desired we shouldn't outgrow
Now my cheeks are filled with grey smiles
In the timidity of adolescence
We didn't realise we would grow old
Though my mind is filled with so much pain
I knew I could lean on the grips of happy times

Dancing Hearts

The clay of molten pot cracks
Spittles of honey moisten my tongue
A touch of satisfaction heightens emotion
Overwhelmed with sounds that inspire
Memories refreshed
Mind is calm
My being follows each rhythm
Make music
Mask my thoughts with pure vinegar
Dreams come true
If only we see
Happiness is our true essence

So Many Tears

Planted on coarse grounds
Without water, air and the sun
He questions his existence

Continually tossed by violent storms
In an habitat of weeds that contest his survival
Like an insect which fears the exterminator
The anxiety of this conciousness blinds his scenery

Constantly facing the threats of a wild life
Growing without prunning
Flooded by a community of traumatizing adventures
The tales of his life story is like an epic tradegy


Although it gives insight to a sad conclusion
He could foretell it ended just when it began

A music with melancholic melody
It's tempo is filled with so much rage outmarching
The beats can ignite an holocaust

Staring through his desolate environ
He witnessed the tears that gushed out like a fountain of waterfalls
Leaving trails of despair

Like an ill fated flight
With no survivors
He felt every depth of life's curse
Because though it baptized him with awful predicaments
He couldn't help but to sigh


With a mountain heaped on his back and forced to run hastily
His mind is opened to vices
But his heart yearns for devices
To circumnavigate this ship heading to deathcoast

Where would the strength come from
To pull up from this frosting cliffs

The instigators against him is enough to propel this kite
Which would love to fly in distant heights

A Plea 4 Mercy

The pain is real
It wrecks every part of my soul
Even my subconcious
As I wonder if I can heal

I've cried to the heavens
But no light was shed on my path

The world chokes me with burning coals 
Vapourizing the ornaments of my being

I cry with a loud voice

This time!!

God where are you?
But He answers with a subtle riddle; that no man can solve!

Then I seek succour from family & friends
But I see life wear them jackets with burdens heavier than their bodies

So I run to the wise
But She too lacks answers to my dillema

Derailed at cross roads

I run back to my Maker

But this time!
Begging Him not to save me!

But to accept me as a peace offering to heal those
Who would one day be me!!
