All that You Left

hazelLeave a comment

The words I kept safe

Now feels chafed

Pain makes a poet

But this pain forset

All my thoughts

have turned to noughts

The beauty I found

In you it was bound

The stars were exquisite

When they were your favorite

The flowers were beautiful

Only when you were blissful

The scorching heat was shade

Above the moments we shared

The whole world shimmered

With the secrets you whispered

Now my heart reeks

Of something too bleak

The stars don’t twinkle

In my eyes they wrinkle

The flowers too bright

In me hate they incite

The days too blinding

Keeps me wandering

To find the love

we once wove

Love can happen twice

But who else can devise

The pattern you sew

To a heart that can’t renew?

Free

As the world holds me
In it’s cold grasp
I fight for breath
To break away from the chains
To fly and fly and fly
Across oceans, continents
The world a tiny dot
And then to move up
And go above the clouds
Where the eagles
Are my faithful friends
And then to up and above
Where the world is a
Tiny dot
And go beyond and beyond and beyond
Where my dreams are my own
My heart and mind at rest
And my life at its best..

Children of the Stars

As I lie beside him
Under the Stars
In a world where we both
Were the children of the sky
A world far away from here…

I felt both young and old
Young.. when my heart
went frantic at his touch…
Old..when he gazed
deep into my soul

The world is a stranger
To us there
It doesnt contain a bright future
Or a hope for tomorrow
Or a promise of safety
It condemns our dreams…

The world then becomes
A pair of eyes threatening
To loom over us
Behind the curtains
The stars draped

But somehow his presence
gives me the courage
to not fear
That the curtain may fall

We are the children of the sky
And when all hope is lost
I go back behind the curtains
Where my dreams are my own
My thoughts are my own
My life is mine to judge
And my lover is mine to kiss….

Waves

Everytime I see the waves
I become that little kid again
I feel that fear I felt
The first time I saw the sea
Both beautiful and dangerous
As she approaches me


I take those little steps
I took the first time
Slowly making myself familiar
With the sensation of
Fear;of water
Drawing back when
The waves are gigantic
And again building up courage


Every time I promise myself
I’ll conquer the waves
I’ll conquer my fear
But it’s all in vain


Everytime I go back to the ocean
I am that little kid again
Afraid of water
Pulling back from a mother
Trying to teach her child
That the waves – though
Treacherous and unpredictable
Should be faced
Just as life – though
Uncertain and slippery
Should be lived…
