Wall


Akin to a soldier

obliged to protect

mounted to brave the elements

hatred....indifference

injustice...war

that spawned from some malicious minds.

Stand firm...crumble not

suppress all evils that demolish your countenance

the happiness...the serenity ...the peace

that under your bosom found their refuge

so love and harmony can reign

within your limits

Lightning - Shut the Scream


Gaiety...

of emotions and words ...

some futile...

some meaningful...

broke the silence of one mediocre night...

the almost still air suddenly turned into a gentle wind...

blew so suddenly ..billowing the bored curtains then,

danced as words continue to fill the night...

cued heaven’s consent of the merrymaking...

as if allowing keen affection soar to the pinnacle.

Heaven might have noticed the bliss...

the taking over of the emotions ...

sent forth a blitzkrieg...

the dark almost blinding night...

was cut by the blaze of the furious lightning...

turning the drizzle to a wild downpour...

to silence the scream of the pounding hearts ...

to put the trance back to ...

reality.

Forever Blue


The spark that once as red as wine
Has turned blue, the hue
that veils your every morning sky
the one that gives you a cue
and promises each day so don’t sigh
that Blue is grateful to you
and to the friendship so nice
and as beautiful as you.

Full Circle


With a purpose
In this beautiful but harsh world
We were born.

Came along was our first cry.
Cry of joy for the world’s beauty
Or cry of pain for uncertainty?

In the arms of the beloved
We were cradled to silence
And hummed to peaceful sleep

The first step
First taste of independence
Our first triumph

The first fall
First taste of bitterness
Our first defeat

Age of choice and decision
Armed with confidence and firm will
We trekked life’s direction.

Happy are those
To whom life was benevolent
They have what were deprived from others.

But no matter what direction, one chose
All will head to just one
To the final destination.

Where life will complete its circle
When the purpose is done
Sealed by a beloved’s cry.

To a dear Friend


Not really long time ago

When we said our first hello


All you asked then

If you can have me as your friend


Said yes without a doubt

In my life you never went out


Time and space had their tests

You proved to be the best


Through the good and the bad times

Because of you, my life has a rhyme


Sadness stays but just a while

Because you know just how to make me smile


With you, life is beautiful

Happiness is at its full


Thank you for the gift of friendship

A treasure that I will always keep


Know, that like what you always do

Always, I'll be here for you too.




Bojo

Tell Me Please


Are you back for good?
Or again leave just like ages back?

Tell me now
Before the ember turns to flame
Tell me now
Before I get drowned to thine

May I ask
Why did you return?
