So you wonder
Where?
She appeared from
As if, when the wind blew
It brought her with it
Amongst flowers
Uniquely planted
From here to there
And as the breeze from the water
became stronger
and in a blink
even while staring
she was gone
as the seasons
as the wind
she flourished only to
disappear
when you found comfort
in her presence
Frozen Fire
Up on looking up
taking in the crisp air
That one last inhale felt
As if it froze
her thoughts
That seemed to be racing
All day
As her face felt pinched
As cold snowflakes brushed
Her skin
But a warmth enveloped her
For the thought frozen
Was of the hot sun
Which was filtered by
Gray skies and winter winds
In a blink of an eye
She knew winter was passing
Because of her thought
Not because of what she saw
In front of her
Beyond the present
If you looked at her face
You too can feel the warmth
For she was meant to
Walk among the hot breeze
Of the sun
For her skin was born
Kissed by rays of warmth
And her smile by burning embers
Created by the fire in her heart
Exhaling
all just melted before her
Waves Of Change
So many changes
Yet our dreams remain
Time passes
And we are still sane
Wondering if tomorrow
A dream will come true
Or the life we know
Will just be new
Stay away
So your loyalty
Is not overturned
To what you felt
Was a tsunami of unexpected
Waves of change
But you are faithful to
What was
And believed in
Can’t replace what is right
Becoming like the others
Should never be a choice
Yet your dreams remain
There is no one else
To blame
Time will ease the pain
of this unexpected change
See no one can take the
dreams inside of you
the ones deep
intertwined with love
Believe this to be true
A Moment
In the quiet of the evening
He whispered in her ear
Sweetness of his words
Caressed her lips
And as a rose blooming
She flourished
Out stretching her reach
Touching the night sky
Stars flickering
As soft kisses of twilight
All this because of just
A few words
A moment in time
Taken to remember her
Only this she wanted
A moment in time
So her light gained
Strength
And she shared her
Brilliance
All this because of just
A few words
whispered in her ear
September
September
I’ve waited for your
Indian summer nights
Lingering warmth
On my skin
For the beaches to clear
So it’s just me
You would want near
Summer is only an
Interlude
I’ve waited for you
To appear
And here you are in
All your glory
Dragging the heat
Upon your sunrise
September
This time around
You haven’t failed
To impress
Maybe you will last
Or just disappear
Just as fast
as the sun sets
hopefully tomorrow
you will still be here
keeping the chill away
and this heart at bay
She Could Only Dance
She tried walking
Her feet stumbled
There was no resistance
She could only dance
Each movement of her feet
Left her legs in a stance
As rhythmic waves
Her arms moved
Her fingers tapped
The air with every beat
Each sway
Forever smooth
Ever seen true joy
Look at her face
In the dance
Wait for her eyes to open
There you see it
For just a moment
You may experience
How it would be
To live her dance
To hear the song
Constantly at play
In her heart
She tried walking
Yet again
She could only dance
What You Are
In someone’s observation of you
Just a glance
It may be presumed
What you are
It is not possible
For you are still
A work in progress
A masterpiece in the beginnings
Just a shell of someone’s
Inspiration
It’s only that
In its completion
An artist always says
Their work is still
Not complete
For it’s the same
For you for me
Molded with time
Decisions
Reactions
Intentions
What you are
Slowly taking shape
In someone’s observation
Dim Light (A Prayer)
In the quiet of the night
And the mind takes flight
The heart starts to speak
And slowly
As flooding waters
It will reveal what is hidden
Shedding the hurt within
The hurt you couldn’t imagine
Existed
Your insides twisted
And there under the dim
Night lamp
You come to understand
That which was pushed aside
To just have peace of mind
And to move on
Hurt the deepest part of you
Just because you choose
To see the best in them
It was allowed though
As opening a window
To let the outside in
And then as changing channels
Knowledge of truths are given
To you
Without asking all is revealed
Deepest part of you knew
To see it displayed
With your eyes
Is a different state of mind
None of that matters
When the hurt
Comes from
Lack of understanding
Of how different you truly are
That even through the hurt
A choice to still be kind
For there will be healing
With time
Just once a wish to be
Treated
With the same love
Given
The silence is enough
It’s making my heart
Tough
Grateful for my words
That give me comfort
Grateful they can express
Helping the hurt inside
Rest
This will not change the
Best of me
Just who I give the
Best of me
If ever I choose to
When the hurt is healed
then the dim light
instead of protest
turns back to rest
Disappear
Wind blown
Gone as a slight breeze
Caressed with the air
Meer brush of a kiss
Whispered particles
Of life’s promises
Held in both hands
Sands that tells time
Warmed in the heart
Transformed to fragile glass
The emotions we carry
Fleeting yet solid
At times we disappear
Into our own hidden places
Recovering from the onslaught
Of so many feelings
So many voices, faces
Flying away is what I wish
Yet I wait
for I don’t want
A temporary voyage
But one to last till
There is no more sun
And the wind stops
Caressing my face
Yet these will never be
Taken away
Nor my dreams
From yesterday
Living on an up and down
Escalator of realities
Surely I’ll wait
To disappear when
No one can miss this face
For they will be living
In their own dreams
Just then I’ll be gone
With out a trace
Possibility
As a writer, life can be an inspiration for words that in general would only be words, written through my hands, they have become emotions and images that transcend reality. Inspiring the possibilities of a beautiful life.
