Chained Heart

Chained Heart

A life buried from the past
living tormented present,
childhood innocence betrayed
darkness invades her freedom

Indescribable pain
Indefinite grief
Inevitable loneliness
lies, her blanket of misery

Kisses shared from dishonest lips
Promises she never keeps
Sorrow crawls to veins
pumping vengeful blood

Married with evil thoughts
Killing forgiveness' hopes
her eyes can't shed more tears
Praying a cursed repeats
To end the never ends.

Long Way

Long Way

Red lights
Green lights
Head lights
Strobe lights
Long way
Long ride
Pull over
Kisses
Just right.

Yesterday's Summer

Summer

A lovely day that brought for series of endearing moments -

From the boat ride on the sea shore to the horizon of wide blue-green ocean
His eyes wander- like a fisherman’s hope-
Waiting, counting, and watching in close detail every scene to observe
The waves touched the wooden paddle with astray -strong hump.
His hand grips mine, a careful touch of comfort 
I guess he was scared from the uncertain buoyancy of water waves to balance.
Then he gazed up as if trying to catch the approaching sunlight beam 
and inhale in deep gratitude for the next tides were about to catch.
My Heart stops—and beats aloud.
I was astonished for a moment, captive by the boy, 
How he become someone new- Someone who attracts vulnerability of natures beauty and deceitful threads on fear of the unknown.
Should I smile dearly to hide my amusement? 
Or let the clear blue waves mirror the admiration of my heart?
I let be.
Reaching an island of hopes and wishes,
We walked to discover what lies beneath.
I found the lovely pebbles by the sand then collectively picked each purely form corals
He told me- These could mean more than the Jewelry I have to treasure.
He- then, found a solid rock formation from the mountain floors- 
I told him, this shelter can make you feel haunted and home 
And we laugh with ambivalent for our mischief.
By noon we swim with the fishes 
And patiently waits for the sunset to kiss his lovely sea, 
just like how it kissed our skinned to tanned.
He leaned and gave me embraces as the sky slowly turned 
to a beautifully lighted darkness- 
I felt warmed, and secured by his unexplained gestures.
He lie next to me, as He count my wishes as a cursed
To the stars that have to sacrifice and die. 
I told him- not to worry about the dying stars instead  live gazing up to thank them every night, and he smiled forcefully.
And we slept together through the calm sea sand bed..
He was all with me in an island of yesterday’s summer  
He was completely there, before I close my eyes,
Before the wind blows cold, before the sunsets turned grey-
And my ashes returned to seas.

Let Me

If there will be, let me have your time 
Let me hold your hand as you are mine
And I’ll let you marvel on me like masterpiece 
Take your chance to sculpt me like I'm made to be yours
Do not rush to pass every minutes that will be spend
Detailed, deep, and rave let me be my selfish me 
So I may perfectly surrender to selfless you
A queen to your empire’s enemy let me 
Then breathe with the greatness you shared with me.

Ferris Wheel

#Ferris wheel

It was one of those nights that you are not altogether surely did it happen.
there are no photographs, no receipts, no scrawled journal entries.

just a memory sitting in my mind like a half blown fireworks, rushing 
to fill colors to the sky, waiting to disintegrate into nothing.

as i close my eyes, the picture played like a blurry montage.
I can see us driving for hours,until the street lights grew less familiar
the flickering post lamp, giving away to the stars.

then sitting across with you on a highest Ferris wheel ride, I see your soulful eyes
enticing, mirroring the beautifully lighted town from south, embracing lake fields and mountains, your hands reaching mine, your voice wisps a husky tone.

the conversation we had about everything, and nothing.  And kissing you-
i remember that, It was one of those nights my mind can't be sure of, 
that wonders if I was there at all, it is as though i never left.

Day Dream

A Day Dream

I wish there was you
The moment I wake up
Kissing my good morning sunrise
Asking how my night have been
I wished.

I wish there was you 
The moment I walk by
Holding my hand safe and steady 
Taking me to where I needed be
I wished.

I wish there was you
The moment I run astray and afraid
Embracing my fears gone totally 
Building my defenses tall unwary
I wished.

I wish there was you 
The moment I get sickly unhealthy
Nursing me physically, emotionally
Reassuring you won’t leave- until 
I get myself back normally
I wished.

I wish there was you
The moment I gave my sacred vow 
Promising with me a lifetime of together now
Unfolding my veil from a dream of somehow
I wished.

I wish there was you
The moment I close my eyes
Remind me everything was real before it was
And you were in time before I sleep.

I woke up. 
to a day dream, crying.

Our Treasured Childhood

Our Treasured Childhood

We care not about what is tomorrow
All we wanted is to play without one’s shadow
A hide and seek to unfamiliar trees we barrow
The shouting bliss of captured sneaking fellow

A bike with a basket of flowers crafted
Landing butterfly on braided hair ascended
 Innocence riding with laughter’s resounded
Running freely on wide open ground -astounded

The kite that dances with the free wild wind
Tied with a wooden brick locked by our hand 
Comfortably lying by the garden’s fine grass land
 Watching the sky playing pictures of clouds in our mind

To the rain that freely fall for our wishes
We dances with shimmer of the drops we misses
Blowing bubble that burst with finger’s catches
Our eyes full of soul from childhood’s embraces

Will the sunrise ever makes us old?
To the weary tomorrow and unloving odd
We care not now, for they say time is gold
All we wanted is this freedom from the untold.

Sweet Betrayal

Sweet Betrayal

He met her eyes of truth
Touches her hands of comfort
Kisses her lips of innocence
Left her with uncertainty

He embraces her fragility
Carried her on bed of floral
Delighted himself in her sweet favor
Left her with spontaneity  

He listens with her angelic voice
Sings with her most tuned melody
Dances with her lovely grace
Left her in an echo of ruined silence 

He sips in rays of her sunrise
Keeping his view of clear crystals
Collects her paintings of memories
Left her on a dark horizontal lieu

Such a sweet betrayal for keeps
His with her a treasure she weeps
Traces of footprints on sand resentments
Comfort by the cold wind without amendments 

So long now from longing 
Let the ocean flows with her bearing,
Every sunsets entwined a sunrise offspring
Left only with her for healing.

A Lonely Foreplay

“A lonely Foreplay”

Sliding a glass of wine on my lips, thirst I cling,
The warm sheets wrap me wandering,
My skin of pearly porcelain,
Longing to be mold, unfold, be hold.
I was left waiting for some rage, profound 
Intoxicating, seductively calling your name.
My night became a riddle from longing,
My fingers slither, a play without a fiddle 
Circles with motion, of sweet soothing notion.
A touch of a gentle relentless
Warmed me, eased the aching breathe in me.
Kiss my endearing eyes from afar,
then I’ll fall back into realm of counting sheep.

He drive slow to my sight
making me bored and wander
playful and sweet.
