A Myth?

Thoughts of escape, fill up my mind
Like the roots below the big oak tree
But the rope's been cut, no more they bind
The coast is clear, now I am free

Is it coincidence...is it not?

Our fate is bound, luck's running out
I sense an oomph, of love at first glance
Careless whispers, there's but no doubt
This union, of hearts that prance

Is it coincidence...is it not?

This feeling here, I want it to last
The bud of love it blooms indeed
But time with you, fleeting so fast
Yet the truth remains, I am all you need

Is it coincidence...is it not?

I wished to have you by my side
Hike mountains high and swim oceans deep
And before I knew, I was on my ride
With moments of bliss, for me to keep

Is it coincidence...is it not?

I longed to have a chocolate pie
But my lips were sealed lest the walls may hear
Tring tring, "Hullo" I say with a sigh
"Lets go," says he "have a tart my dear"

Is it coincidence...is it not?

Some may call it 'Happenstance'
Others 'Random Chance', or 'Fortuitousness'
It stuns me, robs me of my sense
And makes me think, more often no less

Is it coincidence... oh I think not!

Symphony of Colors

The misty dawn, the lilac sky
To whom Weary spirits look up high
Early morn, its a brand new day,
The emerging light brightens our way

The morning air, so fresh and clear
And pastel shades would soon appear
In a sky alit with orange and red
As the lazy sun crawled out of bed.

This blazing star narrows its sight
And scorches me with noon's white light
I plead to him, Do please spare me
I owe my life, only unto thee

Lunch for me, it had better be soon
Famished am I, for its afternoon
Half day through, I yearn for siesta
A few hours more, and its time for fiesta

Shadows grow long, as the sun goes down
With hues of amber, it paints all town
The day's not done, there is more to come
Though sorry for few, and happy for some

Twilight sets in, greeting a bright new day
Together we cling, together we'll stay
Forever and ever till journeys end
Ne'er parting ways, as lover or friend

A navy blanket adorned with stars
Keeping me from life's harshest scars
A moon so round, smiling o'er the lake
On the morrow it has, sleepy sun to wake

More than just a dream...

It is a halo...

With not a whisper lost in the wind
Or a shadow bidding goodbye
Like the glowing aura of sunlight
Greeting a dreamy eye


It is a star...

Gazing at me with floods of light
That has to it no par
I wish 'pon it that we be
As one, though near or far


It is a sculpture...

Nesting itself within my soul
My life its ivory
I pose before my mind that sculpts
Figurines for me to see


It is a cloud...

Soft as if made of feathers
To cushion my weary head
With a smile dancing o'er my lips
I rise with no tear shed


It is a monk...

Seated in silence on my palm
Me under his scrutiny
He guides me through paths unknown
That'll make my destiny


It is an ocean...

With waves of chance and depths of hope
She lures me to her side
Lashes at me, and yet she seems
Tranquil at either tide


It is a bud...

Nourished with this yen for life
And a face without a scar
It blossoms when I want it to
Into the prettiest flower


It is an angel...

That like a moon on mid-summer's night
Is a bride hid in a veil
Who reigns the heart as emperor
And tells to me a tale

The Rules of Freedom

Have not a mind that closes itself
To the confines of its walls
Be not a soul that wishes to drown
In the shallow waterfall

Break from the clutches of time and reason
Look yon beyond the seas
Swim with the gulls, fly with the fish
Bring to your brow no crease

How tasteful is the sweet winning
Of love's first ever kiss
Cage not these wings for so they moult
But when unbound there's bliss.

Do love the free in thee, my love,
Enchanted through and through
The light you have to move towards
I drift with thee unto.

Sing out the words you meant to say
Live in the hour that's yours
Smile at the tunes that soar to heights
Into the skies azure

Forever there is another sky,
So tranquil and so fair,
Flooded with aeonian sunshine
In which ye ought to dare

Rescue the heart from depths of fear
And eerie nights that loom
Relentlessly combat the storm
For then the buds will bloom.

Shades of Love... Forces & Elements

Love is a word so often used
And trust, a feeling one can't let loose
But when together they waltz around
And swoosh by me without a sound

Oh let it be... please let it be

A flame of passion within me burns
It makes me take a thousand turns
Yet when faced with times so cold
It is but all I have to hold

Oh let it be... please let it be

This manic fear of losing you
A sea of dread it puts me through
But I take this beast by its horns
And wear with grace a diadem of thorns

Oh let it be... please let it be

Addiction to you, be it sane or not
Farther from you, obsession I sought
And longed for you to kill this pain
Elixir o' mine, I live again

Oh let it be... please let it be

Uncertainties, they irk and ire
But stem from them hope and desire
So words and thought I ne'er curtail
For it is these that fill my pail

Oh let it be... please let it be

These powers within, they seldom fade
Bolstering me in life's crusade
So may you take me as I am
Lest I shut like a clam

Oh let me be...please let me be

From Dusk to Dawn

Pick from trees of years bygone
Fibrils of memories to don
Weave from it a rug of joy
And roam around the world..ahoy!

Amass your senses, move along
Follow the light and sing a song
Goodbye you bid to those that were
And kiss hullo on cheeks that are

You are your own true monarch
So dwell you not in shadows dark
Head yonder out to pastures green
Nurture your pride and reign supreme...
