in the days of time travel

i remember a time
when winter of the heart
kept the melting frost at bay
when sparrow of the summer
sang silence every day
when summer ray of sun
a million light years away

time is a comet in full force
bulling his familiar path
in constant fashion

settled compass

how we live with the scars
like a river through a worn landscape
and how we display our crevices
depends on how we reflect the radiance
cast upon our shadow

show me your armour
the thick of the maille
little cracks in the corners
that spin tales of movement
and i'll know the battles
you fought in the valiant of existence

but then
all of us were broken
treading lightly
to not chip the stones
rushing headlong
through the cool spray

but now
the compass needle settled
and the light illumination
just short of blushing flares

you still have to look up
and you still have to look down
to find the path
where you can burn down the thicket
that covered your comfort

how to love forever

how does a smile fade
when the rose is in bloom ?
is it only time that allows
the garden to display true colours ?

the gardener will come and see
question the purity of the fragrance
set the contrast on the colours
feed them the quite living rage

i am allowed to blossom
i am required to fade
i am the wind that rips the petals
i am the wind that carry new life

simple

its all so simple
rain make flowers grow
and i don’t know why
its so easy
the man you turn me into
and i keep asking why

so elementary
so easy to ignore it

stop having complications
there’s only life to live
and love along the way
it takes only seven seconds
to see how easy it is
to throw it all away

so elementary
i see your face before me

arrival II

my summer arrived. happy
she announced herself
with a smiling whisper
and a glint in the eye

floating on a new current
of rouge and shine
the old doubt defeated
his emptiness now void

my sails now taught
like the buddha belly
gleaming in its laugh
revelling in its nirvana

and arrived we have
swam to shore while learning
what it is to drown
what it is to live

a little smiling picture
etched upon my life
the lost of the fray
returned with the morning light

the future is a dark map undrawn
but on the very next step
it might reveal where
x marks the spot

and within a blink
the future cement
the treasure shared
unto our lives

how to let it rain

you are the next sunrise
when dawn came for me
i sat with my feet up
feeling the breeze
a wind of change has turned
direction to random
to rearrange the dust
the settlement accumulated
in fine quantities
to obscure and hide the haven

the new dawn revealed
it prompted the salt
in the air to cling extra long
urged the corrosion to pit
it self against
the angry clouds reached
with its unseen and feeling arms
with all its might to shield
the new rays from reaching
where i had my feet up

to stop such a force
would be foolish
like children in play
in innocence and learning
i do not have the will
to close the doors have opened
to stop the flood from coming
to end the rain
from loving me
for i am engulfed
in your sunset

love

and the greatest invention
is that for all will find
some in this life
others in the next
looking back

and yet it is blooming
its crimson and black
it smells like the summer
it colours the snow
inhale it freshly
expel as you wish

selfish minders
or selfless finders
you present wrapped
in the way you gave
inhale it freshly
expel as you wish
