POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I have been a poet for some decades now and enjoy the feel of aspiring to better the best. So far, I have not been published but have successfully written over five hundred poems, three novels while still writing come each new dawn.

Panoramic Views
I watched a white feather fall;
a flake of silk with woolly strands,
gliding freely on a breezy wall
to rest on wherever it lands.
I watched some dark smokes climb;
some puffs from burning coals,
running wildly with windy limbs
to live with clouds in a whole.
I watched a drop of tears;
a ball of fluid with salty taste,
flowing gently from watery eyes
to streak a face at a hysterical sate.
I watched a branch break off;
a squeal of cracks from a forceful pull,
jerking off with a thunderous laugh
to part from a home once...

Warm Heart in Cold Nights
Out of the cold nights
come those lovely memories
to keep the heart warm
come those lovely memories
to keep the heart warm

Insomnia
12 Midnight
The wailing engines grow quiet
As ghostly creatures sing loudly
The city welcomes home, the night
With weary limps resting proudly
While I stealthily trail sunlight
Already gone by moonlight
1A.M
Faint noises from afar rise and fall
They die before the faded day
As dumb shadows climb the walls
To view a still city snoring away
But in my watch, thoughts grow so tall
To unveil memories I barely recall
2 A.M
Silent winds travel across lands
To cuddle the shades with zephyr
As dews hasten to kiss the sands...
The wailing engines grow quiet
As ghostly creatures sing loudly
The city welcomes home, the night
With weary limps resting proudly
While I stealthily trail sunlight
Already gone by moonlight
1A.M
Faint noises from afar rise and fall
They die before the faded day
As dumb shadows climb the walls
To view a still city snoring away
But in my watch, thoughts grow so tall
To unveil memories I barely recall
2 A.M
Silent winds travel across lands
To cuddle the shades with zephyr
As dews hasten to kiss the sands...

Lapis Lazuli
The time of rain comes with ease
With tears from clouds to meet my eyes
In blind nights of sleepless blitz
I watch your portrait in the skies
Like sweet scent of a morning rose
You sought my soul to bless with love
Across the seas your boat oft rows
To see my heart in a lover's cove
It takes nine suns to light your absence
About the hole I moan in cold
Your touch, your warmth fill my lone sense
That I drew emptiness closer to hold
Gaily bout is the theme of our tale
Garnered by tiffs living in our world
A posse of flowers...
With tears from clouds to meet my eyes
In blind nights of sleepless blitz
I watch your portrait in the skies
Like sweet scent of a morning rose
You sought my soul to bless with love
Across the seas your boat oft rows
To see my heart in a lover's cove
It takes nine suns to light your absence
About the hole I moan in cold
Your touch, your warmth fill my lone sense
That I drew emptiness closer to hold
Gaily bout is the theme of our tale
Garnered by tiffs living in our world
A posse of flowers...

Weak Love Bridge
Sweet words fed our hearts
Till we happily built a bridge
Across the seas the length of earth
We built this bridge so huge
Cold nights thought us ways
To smooch and warm our skins
With thoughts of us so close always
We learned to love as mountains
But soon came the jealous
That loathed the joys we shared
It said those words which stirred in us
The hate we have always feared
From afar we watch ourselves
And knew the gorge between us
Such loneliness the fate of caves
Has entered our souls by force
I wish aches...
Till we happily built a bridge
Across the seas the length of earth
We built this bridge so huge
Cold nights thought us ways
To smooch and warm our skins
With thoughts of us so close always
We learned to love as mountains
But soon came the jealous
That loathed the joys we shared
It said those words which stirred in us
The hate we have always feared
From afar we watch ourselves
And knew the gorge between us
Such loneliness the fate of caves
Has entered our souls by force

Loving Zephyr
Entwined with zephyr I lay gently still
To let her soft wings on my skin abound
And kiss my tears away with lips so chill
On my smiling face, not one fountain found.
From wild winds she comes out like a cherub
Gliding through the waves trailing the blue clouds
Humming soft tunes to smooch the sleeping shrub
While her breezy limbs dance with verdant crowds
Sober sweats are shy to stare at her face
This great queen so calm with a loving soul
Never once seen a tear on the surface
While she tour the vast earth on duty's role
As oft in...
To let her soft wings on my skin abound
And kiss my tears away with lips so chill

While her breezy limbs dance with verdant crowds
Sober sweats are shy to stare at her face

A Bliss under the Sun
Lost in a pool of joys
I sought her gracious soul to thank
For in the tone of her voice
I found a way to the bank
Of beauty and goodness
Never once felt nor seen
But through her rare kindness
She wiped my dark heart clean
Before my hazy view
Stood her glowing face
To dry and clear all teary dew
Shedding the light of grace
The form of a pristine day
Arising with each new morning
Like the fair flowers of May
Spreading mid tidal blooming
I am learning the height of love ...

Voice of Poets
Many, with the hand of history
penned down their names.
Most, eloquently
howled in the winds.
The deeds of these men,
traveled from the past
to meet all in the future
on an endless road.
I for one hear
the echoes of their melodies,
the sweet rhymes and
rhythms of their poetics,
their plea and call of the soul
to live in peace with nature;
accepting the gift of life with love
and keeping the garden
of this haven of a cove
life has known,
for the pregnant tommorrow
and her offspring unborn
will soon make...

Love Madness
My feelings grow higher to do abnormal things
Since love scratched the lava flowing from my heart
At times I do sit in the clouds to watch the mountains
Threatening efforts and the normality of the earth
My tears rise to the sky to fall down with dews
This I do marvel at while cuddling my emotions
And yet my voice would ring singing hymns to pews
Overwhelmed, I would stare at my heart's ablutions
One day, I toured deserts in my reverie
Just because of a sight that took my eyes to the stars
And coming home to watch the waves smile and cheer...

A Heart's Decision
Beware!
Of the lamps in our hearts
For we have come to cross-roads
And must part or journey as one
With just two dimly lit lamps
On our seperate ways
Or a dazzling light of love
That had clearly lit our path in retraced steps
Until our hearts saw the cleave of roads
With shadowy choices lingering in the darkness
But through the intensity of our glowing lamps
I see in your face the path I shall follow
Of the lamps in our hearts
For we have come to cross-roads
And must part or journey as one
With just two dimly lit lamps
On our seperate ways
Or a dazzling light of love
That had clearly lit our path in retraced steps
Until our hearts saw the cleave of roads
With shadowy choices lingering in the darkness
But through the intensity of our glowing lamps
I see in your face the path I shall follow

Duel with Fate
While at feast with you my bosom friends
I recalled the while of growth in pains;
In that dark hole with no suns nor rains
Where we once drank to a toast of mutual gains
Once, you were never dissuaded by hurting cold
Nor by ragged cloaks clad about our skins
Such garments we wore as emeralds of gold
A sign of true comradeship in the souls of mountains
We have known the hot springs flowing from our eyes
Sometimes they fall in drops or in a surging pool
Before us are witnesses; the dust and the skies
They outlive years of many thoughts in...

Tell me the dangers of love
Tell me the dangers of love and save my virgin heart
For I perceive mountains before the raining tiffs
Which hinder bouts of passionate depths
In envious loathing of a pristine gift
Should as a lamb I follow my mother's trail
Let me quickly avoid the predators' den
Or a trap set for me to grow frail
And make waste of me in a careless gain
Never will I engage on a tender quest
If my heart is not drugged in this adventure
To scout the height of bliss and learn the best
Now feeding my soul with greener future
For I perceive mountains before the raining tiffs
Which hinder bouts of passionate depths
In envious loathing of a pristine gift
Should as a lamb I follow my mother's trail
Let me quickly avoid the predators' den
Or a trap set for me to grow frail
And make waste of me in a careless gain
Never will I engage on a tender quest
If my heart is not drugged in this adventure
To scout the height of bliss and learn the best
Now feeding my soul with greener future
