The Fallen Star...

Life is ticking away

As I await your summon,

To draw me back in time

When you held me close

To the music of your heart beats....

As for now, I'm stuck

Staring at the clock

Wishing life would levitate

To some celestial form of love....

Where you wouldn't seek reasons

To hide me in your arms......

When I'd seem more to you

Than a cause of forgotten calm.....

Silence takes me back,

To the cruel reality

Of being an untouchable,

In the riches of emotions.....

Where fortune glitters

For those who come with success....

You have turned your back

Evidently, I'm not special.......

And yet, I, the scorned fool

Look at the skies with hope......

Seeking refuge

In their warm expanse.....

When I'm just

 A fallen star.....

A brush of the past...

Its a dark night

And love seems

Like an unlikely refuge....

The stars seem to be lost

In baseless comprehension,

Of why clouds seek

The brighter skies.....

The potholes of her heart

Seem to trip

Many an innocent soul.....

While her gloom flows

An endless turbulant stream....

She knows those thoughts,

Woven in shimmering guilt

Embalming her emotion,

Were never born

To rise at a pure horizon....

But she knows

Somewhere in the blindness...

She must not look back

To steal a glimpse that wont last....

She must not seek more,

Than a brush of her past.....

The Forsaken One...

As I draw close
To those empty tears....
In a smothered attempt
To shelter your shadows....
Your heart shuts away
My stealthy approach.....
In the misconstrued arches
Of a timeless wait....


As my eyes search yours
To seep into your thoughts...
The wafts of cold
A bittersweet familiarity
Freeze my emotions
To an invisible standstill....


And as I seek the curtains
Of nonchalant cowardice....
Staging a break free
From self imposed chains....
You look at me through the mirror
Emanating pinches of pity.....
Leaving me behind
As the forsaken one....

Refuge...

A soul unredeemed

In an aimless flight,

Seeks empty solace

In the echoing night....

And the sly skies
Play twinkling tricks
As the mind is absorbed
By countless drenched sighs.....
The thundering wanderers
With unbridled passions
Reflect the musings
Of this vacant moment.....
While I whisper questions,
Into the darkness,
That are stuck in the web
Of a wan isolation.....
Seamless though,
The horizon may seem
The winds have a way
Of holding one close.....
There may not be answers
To the 'whys' of my life
But the uncanny peace
Penetrates my soul.......
While the calm that engulfs,
The chaos of humankind
Heaves the burden
Of listless craving......
I take from the passing hours
A lesson of letting go.....
And dream into the hope
Of cherishable tomorrows......
Where life may bloom
Into well colored realities.....
Where desire heaped hearts
Find a sublime refuge.....

A Gift To a Wanderer....

An anguished heart

That knows not

The subtle difference

Between breaking free

And letting go....

Wanders alone

In the scavenging crowd

Feasted upon and thrown about....

Yet those eyes seek the solace

That I shall never find....

A trick of emotional treason

That I can never devise....

I know not the alchemist's words

That can blow the grey away,

I know not the golden melodies

That still chain your mind.....

All I can bequeath to you

Is a handful of smiling colors....

A tinge of yellow

To brighten your palette,

A patch of blue

To bless your day......

A stroke of green

To enchant your life....

A streak of purple

To decorate your soul.....

A sprinkle of orange

That restores your hope,

Some smudges of pink

That will help you cope.....

And a rainbow of all the colors I know

To enrich your world

With meaning, with peace...

And breathe back a vigor

In your stifled life

A long forgotten, unconscious need.....

While my heart reaches out

To your unsung songs....

While my care fulfils

Your desires untold....

I will take your hands

And secure them in mine

And lead you ahead

To an unsketched herald.....

Where the early skies

Still await your call...

Where true love still

A strong place holds.....

 Dedicated...

The Proposal....

When destinies entwine
And the world seems,
Like a better place to be in....
When lives come together,
Consummated by joy......
When souls are summoned
For a union sublime......
And the mind unleashes,
A storm of emotions.........
That engulfs the heart......
Enriching my existence......
In that coccoon of ecstasy created
By the mystical tricks of love.....
I beseech you, mon amour
To be mine, now, forever......

Humanity Recall...

They say,"We revive a dying cause

Breathe life into a race

Heading into extinction...."

While an innocent child

Draws his last, to fulfil

Their desire of vengeance......

They say,"We voice the oppressed

We bring an end called for

To the painful resilience

Of our silent spectators......"

While a woman loses her right

To humane respect

In their cultural stampede.......

They say,"We surrender

Our helpless souls

To the will of God

To protect his bounties"

While their very own

Are sacrificed indiscriminate

On the altar of disoriented conviction.....

I ask on behalf of those,

Who place life before all else.....

To which faith can they belong

Who insult the essence of human ties?

I ask, what belief guides them

Towards clouding each love filled sunrise?

For I am a son of God

As they, no less....

And while they abuse

The verdict of peace,

I wish to address

My misguided brothers,

That every time a life is lost

Your blood has to pay the cost.....

While your exalted religion dies

In that unaware soul's cries.....

Seu Rosto

I lie here

Unaware of the world,

That spins around my being

Conspiring in smiles....

While I soak in

Your dream-lit visage,

The picture of you,

That I drew when you were away,

Has faded and lost its place.....

Its a new soul I see

Gentler, a surreal fragility......

Like the first sheet of ice,

On a winter lake.....

A smooth contour

With a sensitive base.....

Inciting silent sensations,

With a tumultuous pace.....

Those alluring eyes,

That color me with emotion,

Moisten my own,

While you hold me close.....

Those lips that seek

The tenderness I hide,

Seem to entice my gaze.....

And I silently wish

The heavens to add,

A lifetime more

To this enchanted phase......

And as the first sparkle of gold

Tinges your countenance,

With the heralding day....

I gather in my heart

The nascent ecstasy,

Of a transformed life.....

While I indulge once again,

In the depths of your love.....

Basking in the radiance,

Of your beautiful face.......
