SEE-THROUGH GLASSES

 
SEE-THROUGH GLASSES

Buy me a gift, a see-through glasses
to see beneath the ocean
and through the sand within
to see every creature
that has made a pact with the waters
as they crawl into their flaccid abode
but i wonder if i really can.

To what length can i see
with my see-through glasses?
can it see the far distance from nigh
without an impediment from the yet unseen?
how far could the farthest distance be
until the sight of nothingness is beheld?
it's as though a mirage, my see-through glasses.

we walk through and through
into the hallway of timelessness
to see what resides in between.
Ordinarily we couldn't have seen
with our see-through glasses because
the depts of love cannot be seen
but the height of it can always be felt.

THE FUTURE


THE FUTURE

the future comes one day at a time
maybe now or in split seconds
the mind became a watchdog
maybe while straying
it came knocking just yesterday.

ALL I WANT


ALL I WANT

All i want is to find a place in your
memory where i could dwell forever,
to plant a kiss in your soul
from which you will never recover,
to count one after each the tears
from the stream of your emotion,
to take you somewhere new
where love doesn't have to fade away

All i want is to listen to nature's
song about your name
the sweetest melody there could ever be
I want my mind encompassed by the
gentleness from the touch of your smile
I want to lay by you all night long
where i could savor the beauty of it all
Girl you are the recipe for my happiness
 
I could have gone a mile more
but spellbound by your love
i waited to see what you could offer
as well as wet the appetite
of my longing curiosity
your love is kind and quintessential
i dared to walk away after all
But my strength failed me
            yet your love kept me
what more do i want than to see you
glint in radiance and magnificience
you are my dream come true

WHEN THE MORNING COMES

WHEN THE MORNING COMES

The night is not yet over
But it’s almost coming to an end
What a relief, the morning is near
The pain and its agony, the nightmares
All soon be gone, when the morning comes

The road is foggy, the woods unclear
Which way to go, the road or woods
There is a long way to go, what destination?
Temptation never ceases to come, it’s complicated
Hope it’s worth the risk, when the morning comes

Like an audience in a theatre
Occupying the spaces from the parterre upwards
Watching a tale from the beginning
Expecting a meaningful end
And what will it be? A question for the morning

Though the road isn’t so clear
Likewise the woods
I haven’t come this far to stop walking.

PROMISE OF LOVE

         PROMISE OF LOVE

I do not know if there are
different kinds of love
but i share the best with you
i know there were times we walked away
bearing grudges and anger in our minds
but if i could, i would have held still
the moments filled with laughter and happiness
from passing away from us.
hold my hand as we walk through
life's tunnel together; though its dark in there
but at the end lies a brighter tomorrow
my mind is as plain as the day
and all for you my heart will lay
not minding what the cost to pay
i will love you as always.

I NEED A FRIEND


I NEED A FRIEND

All alone within the still
moments of silence
gliding frequently upon the 
stream of unclear thoughts  
that flows beyond the horizon
of unfathomable answers
hoping soon not to fall
       lest i drown. 

I have walked for too long
bearing alone the burdens of my thoughts
and odious it becomes at the sight
                      of each new day
i wish i could seize the day from 
                 passing away
laying siege to every thought that comes

like The thoughts about life
the thoughts of uncertainties
the thoughts on how to untangle
what should or shouldn't,
innumerable thoughts
who can be of help?

And so i need a friend
someone who could say to me
it's alright when though it seemed not
someone who could smile at me
when really it requires otherwise
someone who could travel with me 
beyond the horizon and not 
look back too soon
someone who could have my back
at the faintest appearance of 
life's untimely unfriendliness
someone who could look beyond 
my flaws and crave for a better me
someone on whose shoulder i could lean
when none else is available
who could this be?
              i need a friend

SOMBER SLATY AFRICAN LADY

SOMBER SLATY AFRICAN LADY

Somber slaty African lady
Take a pew upon the island
Of this feeble-like but willing
Soul of mine
My love is full and with you
Alone will share.

Somber slaty African lady
You are as beautiful as the little
Berries of the field
Words as sonorous as of the nightingale you speak
Your voice echoes within like the slight sparkle
Of lightening after the rain
Searching the core ambience of my fading soul.

Somber slaty African lady
Mother Nature has thrown a hissy fit
Because I said to her
“None of your offspring is as pretty
As my lady”
Your beauty is purer than the
Purest of golds.

Somber slaty African lady
Stay a little while longer
And a day more
Until an unending forever
I’m loving each day
As it passes by
Only because you are here.

Somber slaty African lady
I’ve laid a wreath by the hill side
There we can spend each autumn’s night
Savouring the warmness that comes
From me to you
Lend me a hand for the morrow to come
And I will make you a woman of worth.

Somber slaty African lady
Stay a little while longer
And a day more
Until an unending forever.

OUTBURST OF THOUGHTS

            OUTBURST OF THOUGHTS

we stand right there
              next to nothing
watching as the trust we once had
in ourselves wane away
we are surrounded by many
but nothing is as they seem
our minds keeps growling with questions
but to find the right answers
is like searching for a needle
              in a haystack
where do we go from here?

there is a road to thread
where we would have to walk
side by side with failure; 
a companion for quite a while
it stares with the eyes of terror
and its mind encased by a passion for torture
with each step taken, the journey
seems farther than expected
but left to us a choice to make
for how long we would walk  
before the stoppage point

life is beautiful
but as much as we can
            imagine it to be
time flies sooner than we could decipher
but sooner and faster as it could be
it enables for events to occur
like the failures of the past and 
the victories of now or vice-versa
what can we possibly say about
                    the then and now
tomorrow waits at a distance
  
today is yesterday's future
and here it is fading away 
as it becomes a past for the morrow
we are stuck in the dreams of yesterday
and the walls of our fears are closing in on us
the smiles on our faces gradually wither
because we made the less important, very important
yesterday is dead and gone
                   the thoughts of today
is what the future awaits
as a man thinks in his heart, so is he

we lay blames on yesterday
for not being what it should
but my frail conscience once told me
we made yesterday whatever it was
how better could it have been?
when to the best we could acquire 
of ourselves, oblivious we remain
the yearnings of our hearts are daunted
by the constraints imposed 
by the extent of our thoughts
we are at a crossroads; 
where we could right the wrongs 
before even the right goes wrong

PRIDE AND YOUR MINDSET


PRIDE AND YOUR MINDSET

An eye that sees the sun
Might not be capable of seeing the moon
A talented swimmer who could
swim in an ocean
Might not be able to withstand a river
A foot that could run vigorously on land
Might not be able to walk on mud
A hunter whose bravery could
overwhelm a hungry lion
Could end up being scared by a rabbit

Never let pride overrule
your mindset
Rather, your mindset
overshadow pride
For today you know
Tomorrow might bring
Something else
