Best Laid Plans: An Anecdote

I had a map when I was young

Nothing special but

I swore it held my fate in

its borders and legends

Tales of what’s to come

So I clenched my fist around it

for if it was never lost,

neither could I be

 

One day, I found that one map

couldn’t guide me to

every destination

I longed to reach

 

So I procured another

and another

and another

Destined

Do what you must to ensure they don’t see.

Rationalize and pretend it won’t be.

 

Wish it away to escape from it all.

Cover it up like the paint on the wall.

 

Cloak it in layers of varying hue,

carefully crafted to keep it from view.

 

Do what you can with all effort and might.

Make every move just to keep it from sight.

 

Do what you must but in time you will ...

Falling Apart

Sometimes it doesn’t go the way

you thought it would at all.

 

Sometimes the pieces all line up

though randomly they fall.

 

Sometimes I guess you’re better off

just following your heart.

 

Cuz sometimes it can still work out…

though you’re falling apart.

The rock on a high coast, on which I leant.

Your love, as strong as the rock.               

 

We were

children,

we held eternity blindly; we reached

for a meaning that was greater than life:

destiny.

 

Destiny - word of fools.

Your eye and mine:

they saw

only a hazed horizon.

 

Illusion.

unwavering and determined
till the end,
filled with willpower.

… is this rare form,
burned alive from the inside,
lucid,
the thrill of the hunt
is much too abrupt
when they’re frozen out of fear

with my last breath, I’m to rest each day
only so that
the past undeath doesn’t catch up with me.

In the beginning, God [early draft]

And in that first wailing cry my ashes were ordained:

As the ocean acknowledges its horizon,

knows infinity's finite edge

so my cry knew a destiny

knew my play and my learning

my work, my leisure, my sleep

the evil of my hands and the goodness of my heart

my loves, my hates, my pleasures.

Knew my world: that tiny flesh held all my futures

Falling

We 
       fell
             together that night
Under golden shards of starlight
Skin glistening with sweat & tears
A caress to hide our deepest fears
We trickled down like teardrops
Made mercury under a brightening moon
Lips Softly touching 
Hearts merging
The anticipation 
of the life we could have

There was one last look

Fairytale - For V & K

An entrance to a fairytale waiting to happen,

Sweet scented flowers, second only to the story that's about to bloom,

Flickering candles mimicking twinking stars in the dark sky,

Like the love that survived through thick and thin, dark and light...

 

A slow stepped waltz, opening to a dance of a lifetime,

followed by a ballad about a love that grew from childhood

She was too scared to tell him,

So she played the friendship part.

Unknowingly planting the seed, but she forbid it to see the light.

Destiny is not where life or time is taking you to,

Destiny is the place where you want to see yourself.

Destiny is not where others push you to be,

Destiny is where your heart feels satisfaction.

Millions of people with their hard efforts and sturdy will power earn it.

Maybe next time,

I will get it right, 

put up more of a fight,

Maybe next time, 

I will find fortune and fame,

Maybe next time,

I will see it through,

Maybe next time,

Some tips to write a good poem

There is no need

to set your poem to the music of the heart, or let it sway

to the rhythms of the hurt, at least for today.

 

There is no need

for you to panic, or dive into the pyre of rhyme

Burn later, if you will, but for now, wait out your time.

 

Let it corrupt a little, breathe in the zones unlit

Break and crumble, and feed on itself, bit by bit.

THE MASK

But I can dream

 

It’s like wearing a blindfold

On my brown eyes

I can’t watch, but I can feel

All these weird wild vibes

 

All these angelic faces around me

But those diabolic souls surround me

Are they real or are they fake?

It’s like watching a blue snowflake

Falling for smiles and grace

All night murdering for a race

Scars

People come and go
leaving behind the scars:

It's more than heaven 
in a beautiful beginning, 

very perfectly blessed
like walking in moonlight.

An abrupt rapture of emotions, 
the deep dives in the lovely sea,

the waters perfectly unknown, 
the realms strange, but cozy.

Hopes are always great, 
but perhaps so baseless.

We are like the falling stars 
that will surely shoot...

Still cool

I'm still cool,
torn by destiny
that made me blue.

Why to pain,
and for whom,
when it isn't a worthy tool.

Time cut me
into pieces immeasurable,
and I rose like a toddler,

I still rose,
each time, with a power
of a thousand phoenixes.

We are one.

Interwined energy,

Love Lessons

He loves her but, 
she loves him,
but he loves the mirror 
like his lost love loves selfies.

Adoration, pointing every direction, 
like weather vanes in a hurricane.

Each unware their 
love affair 
is bound to end. 

Love lessons often repeat 
until we understand that 
real love begins within, 
then overflows to others, 

making the circle of love

Together we create

Will we hide behind fear and doubt

Never in my dreams, felt anything wrong,

Too much reality
