Rain, Rain, Go Away

The rain is pouring from the sky,
Like waterworks streaming down my cheeks as I cry
The nature is with me,
Piercing through the core of my psyche,
Whispering,
“I’m with you. I know what you’re going through.”

But that doesn’t stop me from weeping,
The rain is so disheartening.
I winded up pitying myself,
Thinking,
Only breeze is there to offer its hand,
While all and sundry doesn’t seem to understand.

I feel stuck in the heave,
Cold while my eyes are heated.
Ruminating the past,
Forlorn in my room gloomed like dusk.
Grasping that I’m wretched
Waiting till this rainy day ends.

Dream Catcher

I need a dream catcher
To filter out
All my nightmares
The nightmare
Of not having you
As I fell deeper unto you.

Free Fall

You’re my dream
That I wished to catch
You’re the dream
I never failed to watch
I fell
I held
But you never grasped.

Most Valuable Parents

Have I ever thanked
Your parents for bringing
You into this world?
They’re the real MVP
They deserve a cookie.

And if

And if I’m greater than your pride,
Maybe we’ll be back in each other’s life.

Familiarity

I see you like a vibrant sun
In contrast with the gray crowd around
I stare at you and I’m enchanted
Your smile collided with my breath
I look at you and my heart skipped
Everything slowed down for a moment
This is not love at first sight
This is a sense of familiarity
My dream and foresight in clarity
Saying, “I know you. It’s you.
It’s going to be you.”

Yesterday At The Boulevard

We walked in haste,
Side by side,
Couple of meters apart.
Our steps in synced.
And for the first time in my life,
Foot steps sound like music.
But then you strode faster.
I’m starting to see your back.
Ticktock… ticktock…
I tried to keep up.
Almost there…
The verge is getting tighter.
Suddenly you looked back.
I got awestruck.
And with a snap,
We became distant like milliard.
I got fed up.
You’re so near yet so far
From my grasp.
This is the edge
Where I find my sane.
Bye stranger.
Such travesty,
I thought,
As I watched you walk away.

Kindness

Kindness is what makes us human
It is what makes the world go round
Kindness, quite simply,
Is the rent we must pay
For the space we occupy on this planet.

Blips

Our lives are mere blips
On a canvas of eternity
So have the wisdom
To savor the process
And enjoy the journey.

Psychedelia

---

I see you
Through distorted realities
Bursting with multi-color
Every abstract shape,
Every contorted stroke,
All forms your soul.
My altered awareness
Longs for your being
Even in my most twisted perception.
