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.......
