Do you hear the sounds
Trailing this silent heart of mine
The mysterious old chants making rounds
Do you know why it’s again being played?
Will time ever carry me there
The place where dreams come to stay
And every bit of wish always appear
Will this sun eventually show?
When will I again see your glorious light
Darkness is gradually building on this road
The whispers of this solitude night
How can I cope in your absence?
I want you to stay all day
Come to me, the door is still open
Don’t let this happiness fade away
On this path of love, can I again have you?

Poetry neccessary for life's journey
Imprint of love…
My love,
I’ll always need you like the air I breathe
With you in my life, everything, certainly I have
Refresh me always like a cool morning breeze
Your composure is very fine
And I’m always elated to enter into your court
Indeed! You are as sweet as Heaven’s wine
One of nature’s rarest gems
Your garden is always charming
Clean and adorned with sweets of nice fragrance
And I cannot stay a day without entering
A true flower of divine essence
Your subtle little bites
Create happy portals within my soul
And those lovely touches kindle my sight
Certainly, I hope to forever sail in your boat of love.
Forgotten…
This cold night,
A long and stressful night
No stillness in the wind
Chaos like an arrow ravages my mind
Left me alone
I feel the pain in my bone
An emotional fire burns in my blood
An endless heartache as tears flood
Oh! Did you forget?
I was waiting for you, yet
You showed no concern whatsoever,
Now the dark-lonely night seems forever
A quiet and cold hut
Left inside alone to hurt my fragile heart
I only hope this night and its ordeals shorten
Sadly! I have been forgotten.
My beautiful Butterfly…
A beautiful butterfuly landed in my world
Oh! It perched on flowers within the garden of my heart
I took delight in watching it as I admired its beauty and charm
With time, I became found of it and wished it would never depart
One day I whispered into its ear,
Can I be your alpha male forever?
It intently looked me in the eyes, smiled and whispered softly,
Yes! Provided my heart could serve as its habitat forever
So, I planted more beautiful flowers of different varieties in my garden
And reformed my heart into a perfect cage
Where it will happily and peacefully thrive,
A place where it will be shielded from the predators of this age
But now I’m deeply perturbed
Because a hostile wind is shaking its cage so hard
Trying to make it fly away from my world
And this could break up my heart, causing me to be forever sad!
Let it be a mirage…
Let this darkness I see be a mirage
A dream that will never see the day of light
And let it turns not into my nightmare
As it will become my deadliest
Should fate allows it to ripe
The ride so far has been spectacular
And I long to forever hold on to this rose
Yet, against my wish and innermost desire
I’m constantly forced to let go
And I hope this reality doesn’t eventually evolve
Certainly, fate can never be changed
And regardless how a man twists his ways
It’s not his to decide the end of his days
Though, like puppets we’re to play our part
I only wish the end turns not into something dark
Dreams have unearth the days yet unborn
And I see how it glows radiantly like a beautiful bride
Yet, with the current breeze of waves blowing
My heart is not fully at ease
As I don’t know if fate will gift me this beautiful bride
the dream and the beast…
With a pure heart, I pray you never turn against me
‘cause outwardly I might appear gentle, calm and cool
But a ferocious beast sleeps deep within me
And I have dreamt of what it will do to you
Should you awaken it by taking my love for granted
Cunningly it will draw you into my darkest chambers
Where I will never think twice to crush your head
Or do you think you will be free should you hurt me?
Shattered Heart…
They say love is good,
That life is sweet with the right person
But with me, love is a mad thing in this life
It is just ineffable, a very risky venture!
I have dreamt of happy days
And of peace and fantasies with you
But now I know it was very best
Had I not dreamt at all!
By now, I’d have been having a calm life
And my heart would have still been intact
Beating regularly with the rhythm of life
Had I not harbour love’s fantasies and arts
But now, gazing intently through my deeds
You realize that my mind is not at peace,
That my heart is languishing in loneliness
Bleeding and withering in severe distress
Love has inflicted upon me an unbearable pain
And I can’t do anything meaningful in this crazy rain
I just feel like shouting and crying my heart out,
Shedding all my tears and getting drowned in its pool.
I need you…
I know you are out there
All by yourself and feeling lonely as I’m in here
In great pain of solitude, I lament
As I keep calling your name each moment
I don’t know how long I can endure
The memories hurt me like a fresh sore
How I wish the wind could blow you here
To wipe away the tears of loneliness, my dear!
Without you my life is just meaningless
You are the fountain of my happiness
The spring that revives my lost hope
The love we share is intertwined like a rope
Your dazzling face ignites fulfillment within my heart!
Your lovely touch drives the worries within me far apart!
Perfection always grace the days I dwell in your presence;
But Sorrow grooms me like an orphan in your absence
Eagerly! I crave to have you in my court
You alone are the source of my comfort
Oh! Mirror of beauty, you are as far as the sky above
When again will I be privileged to feel your love?
Heat of love
A perfect creature she is
Everything a lady desires she has
Her beauty is extremely phenomenal
To have her, I just wish
Her eyes glow with love of true radians
I cannot afford to miss a glimpse of her for a second
A beautiful flower I never want to ever trample upon
I’m deeply thrown into an unfathomable hex by her countenance
Her magnificent body drives me crazy
Her fragrance is as sweet as that of Cymbopogon citratus
I just desire to have her whenever she is close to me
Nevertheless! I must not let things get messy
What should I do, do I dance to the tune?
I am baffled; conflicting voices I hear within me
It is like a debate and my heart is the judge
She is so adorable and I am out of clue.
A lovely treasure
Certainly, I’ve encountered what I want
Far more precious than gold or diamond
A perfect treasure, so pure and priceless
A new strain of flower, so adorable to possess
Through an acquaintance I had with you,
My heart has discovered your gorgeousness
A natural gemstone sparkling ravishingly like a bright star
Your smiles instigate fulfillment within me
Nature will attest to my confession
You are the best given gift from creation
Simplicity and courtesy like necklace
Makes you always glow in beauty
In the midst of my lonely moments
Thought of you brings me relief
I have encountered what I want
What is mine, I have come across
The perfect gift from nature
With open arms, I do welcome you
In the depth of my heart,
You’ll forever stay.
The DREAM…
Let the cross be there, its presence will serve you better
You don’t have to bring it down before you get what you chase after
Just hang around a little while on the land on which it is planted
Don’t be idle, keep dreaming and wait for the rain to fall
That precious stone, gold, as destined by fate
Will find its way to you at a moment you don’t anticipate
You will not stress for it, neither will you have to dig for it
In fact, unknowingly, you will just pick it up like an ordinary stone
To become conscious of what you hold so that you don’t let go of it,
The rain will purge it like fire and cause you to feel discomfort a bit
The heat burning your fingers will make you look at what you hold
And you will realize that all along you have been holding on to gold
Be wise on how to handle her, when she reveals herself to you,
There will be no need to share with everybody your gift
And do not allow unnecessary lust and greediness to drag you through
The other gates which exit the land on which you got your precious gift
Believe you me! I’ve seen what happens there
And you will regret if you accept such a dark future
For there is only pandemonium and death boiling over there
And you might even loose that precious stone gifted you by nature.
Serenity…
I’ve made acquaintance
with the moment of time
which is deemed most dreadful,
and I do not fret or scare for it to touch my skin
Though I’ve seen many consumed by its deadly grasp,
My skin it cannot infest,
For like a chameleon, I’ve familiarized myself with its hex
And I’m stunned no more by its poison.
The right time…
When the right time appears
And the ancient bell peals
When the hurdle is finally crossed
And the road becomes clear
When the bountiful season falls
And the time for the harvest appears
Early at dawn before the cock crows
The task, long awaited to embark upon
Hastily, will be ignited and initiated
And as time grows heavy like clouds
And makes the future falls like rain
And ushers tomorrow into the reality of
today
And throws anticipated desires into
feasibility
And paves way for despair to disappear,
Only the best of best will life offer
But until then;
Before the dawn of tomorrow shows its
face
Before the whistle is blown for the start
of the race
Before the potter obtains his last bit of
clay
Waiting is the host for the day
And the patient to wait, the prayer to say.
I’m a stranger!
I’m just a stranger
Passing through someone’s land
I don’t want to rest on the way
As I’m unaware of the danger
That might befall me
I don’t want to delay
But the wind of crises
Blow towards my direction
And sailing through its course
Makes the journey very tedious
I keep moving anyways
Resolute not to turn back like a river
But the owner of the land
Persuades to help if I stay with him
And he never quits following me
I must be very cautious
Though his offer is soothing
His motive is somehow malignant
And I need to be cautious
Because I’m just a stranger!
Out of here
I feel very unusual, so it’s true
You’ve really made your way out,
Sorrow swallows me, my heart is heavy
I look up, the sky is no longer blue
A distress call, a distraught shout
Oh! This bid of goodbye is unfriendly
I gaze your smiling portrait
And wave at you yet you wave back not
This reality is difficult for me to grasp
I can hardly focus or think straight
Your news colds and engulfs me like hostile knot
I sigh in bereavement, intermittently I gasp!
I reminisce the times I walked with you
The conversations we had and the laughs
I reminisce your astonishing personality
Amid many you’re unique, one of the few
As I recall on your qualities writing this epitaph
Tears just stream down my cheeks uncontrollably
Hmm! The sun has finally set on your days
And now the moon is no where to be found
So! In this lifetime, our paths will never again meet
So! I will never again behold your radiant face
Hmm! Without a shadow of a doubt,
No one can perfectly fit in your seat.
Rescue Me
On my own, I have struggled to rid-off these chains
A futile effort; I keep on tumbling, wailing in pains
I have grown weak, I am so weary and heavy-laden
You cannot see, it is not physical though not hidden
Don’t look at my appearance and think I’m better
I walk about like a free man but inside I’m a prisoner
Confiscated in the claws of the lion, my life is being torn apart
I’ve allowed myself to be enslaved, there is no joy in my heart
When admonished to flee, I willingly decided to stay
And now as darkness has sneaked in; I’m hunted like a prey
A hare I have become for my fierce predator,
Who shows no pity but rather delights in hurting me over and over
The horrible voices I hear just scatter my peace away
And extremely difficult it is for me to freely break away
The perceived palace which I hastily entered during the day
A dungeon! It has become in the absence of the sun’s ray
Indeed! I’ve walked into a death trap; the devil’s masquerade
Help! Please help me; I am weak, please help me to escape
Out of this enchanted cobweb, I need you to break me free
Before this land on which I stand swallows me like the sea
Life…
Life, one kind of a test,
So easy to pass, likewise to fail
Every candidate dreams of success
Yet, at the end, only a few get hailed
With varied starting timelines
Each candidate is ushered in by fate
Some begin the very moment others end
Yet, no candidate ever comes in late
Caught-up in this test, I’ve realized the unusual
The marking scheme lies on my table as well
But I’m uncertain if it’s same for all candidates
And whether deliberate or not, I cannot tell
The examiner intently stares at me
I’ve all the answers and clearly success lies within my breast
Yet, whether I resort to the scheme or not is the real test
And I only have limited time within my treasure chest.
Shrouded…
Now I wail! Oh, what a trail!
At the crossroad I gave away
Despite all these sweet goodies,
And great treasures to display,
I live like a hopeless prey
A renowned king, yet a slave,
The soul’s exchanged in trade;
Though in giant castles, I sleep not
I’ve dashed out happiness true keys
And I can hardly find any peace
Nightmares swallow me in the dark;
The endless ordeal behind my back,
Doomed! I’ve lost the compass!
I yearn to leverage my life back
But where lies the other track?
Christmas canticle
Oh! What a glorious gift granted unto us
That He! Our Lord should come like us
Seeing us wallow in darkness, He took the most tedious duty
Down He came to be the lamp leading us to glorious eternity
With profound humility, He willingly consented
To be born in a manger, and there He was delivered
As majestic as His nature was, He did not welcome arrogance
Yet welcomed anyone who acknowledged His eminence
Great service He rendered yet the world regarded not
Accused of blasphemy, He was caught
The greatest form of agony He painfully encountered
He was humiliated and scorned, yet never retorted
At the verge of His task, His life He availed
As calm and helpless as a lamb, He was killed
Death couldn’t retain Him, into His Kingdom He ascended after rising
He will one day come for all who believe and are waiting.
Hey little bird
Hey little bird
Hey little bird
I heard you twittering
And I followed the sound
Just to meet you in a lonely ring
Though you were young
I was attracted to your charms
I trusted my instinct much better
Ready to welcome you with open arms
My heart was also yours to have
To dwell in as your lovely nest forever
Yet, you failed to notice and flew away
Leaving me in such an unfriendly weather
Hey little bird,
Though I knew you were young and tender
I was willing to carry you into the Garden of Eden
Where life treasures deplete not, but flow forever.
My drumsticks
I hold my drumsticks
And I play with them
They are so distinct in ways
And I love each one equally
I strike them on different drums,
And produce varied melodic sounds
With my drumsticks
I drum to portray life
Hitting on every field of it
I drum my heart out;
At moments when tearful
And also when cheerful
At time whiles drumming,
I myself know not what I drum of
Much like a river,
I just follow the drains
Until I meet with the sea
Then I realize all the beauties
Drumming with my drumsticks,
I beat alive many rhythms
But just one is the gist
And it can be really bizarre to spot
But there’s always a picture of beauty
Noticed according to how it is digested
I hold my drumsticks
And I’ve been drumming all this while
With pen, pencil, paper and more
I’ve sounded my thoughts into your imagination
At least I’ve fed you with a beautiful picture
I am a poet and I play with my drumsticks.
The Devil’s Pride
Perceived as a god, I’m venerated
In a pseudo-world which I have created
A realm with no stream of peace
And no meaningful meaning to life
The blind minds come to abide
A no good place to hide
A kingdom groomed in darkness
Shielded of every bit of truth;
There exist no light
Doom are its beauties which excite
Ensnared and brainwashed,
It’s difficult to turn back
My subjects are never subjected to rest
Their soul I infest like an dreadful insect
Whatever I offer them,
I steal back like a road bandit
I know no mercy, love or pity
My interest, my sole priority
My reign will eventually end
Until then, I’ll never cease to hurt
In fact! I know I’m no god,
But I’m adored as a god.
