Aging

Into the warmth of day
Beams cradle in their arms
My heart with each ray
Cushioning thoughts, protecting from harms
Settle into lace and velvet
Dress divine with rich delight
Opening life’s heartless love set
Engagingly hooked on happiness’ height.
Into the cover of evening
Drenched in wise protective trial
Entrenched in objective reasoning
With the undercurrent of innocence’s smile
Molded into silver and beads
Act naïve with surprises call
Closing off the beatings true needs
Ravishingly gripped by youths stall.
Into the breath of the wind
Knowing grace defends with much care
Hidden meanings in the rolling sigh
Brushing away reality’s stare
Throwing back attacks of misery on I.
Engulfed in pureness’ sightless romance
Shielded from the turmoils in trusting beauty
Blinded to life’s real erratic dance
Childhood has mothered the true world from me
But now I open my cynical eyes.

Exist For A While

Flood into me
And relieve the imbalance
Extend to me your pureness
And allow me a minimal smile.
An instant to collect a meaning
A moment to simply exist for a while.
Open all the locked barricades
And eject what burns and eats
Let emotions jump at mock parades
Imitating others who possess exotic treats.
Mimicking my pragmatic plight
Elate what’s left at the edge of doom
Images of suffering radiated by light
Perceive emptiness as just excessive room.
Surround me with blankets of steam
Stop the trials of my heart anticipating pain
Aspiring no more to the slaughtered dream
Erasing the eternally indented name.
Let me escape for a tempestuous term
Without a sanctioned life of sanity
Intertwine with the present the happiness I yearn
And the acceptance and love indebted to me.
Chime without reliable reason
Affront my memory and wash it clean
Invite festivities into my every season
Allow me a moment to twinkle and gleam.
Allow me a moment to smile.
Grant me an instant to collect a meaning
Let me simply exist for a while.

Heart That You Hide

Rectify honourably
The heart you broke
Trespass on kindness
A foreign spirit invoke
And the tragic example
Of running short of time
Display awkwardly
On the hand that is mine.
For facial expressions
Are meek and unclear
Misleading in what they portray
False sentiments they endear.
But right now I see through it
Into the complicated mess of your mind
I can see all the damage you see now
All the hurt to which you were conveniently blind.
Redeem yourself
From the insult you threw
Transform into humanity
A foreign morality renew
And the terrible story
Of being trapped inside
Display cunningly
On the heart that you hide.
For spoken words
Are weak and unfair
Indecisive in what they convey
False friendships they share
But right now I look past it
Into the muddled contents of your head
I can see all the problems you see now
All the truths, which you lied about instead.
Relive triumphantly
The alliance you broke
Define what you want to
A foreign promise throatily croak
And the tormenting tale
Of all that you’ve ever feared
Display gingerly
On your wounds so impaired.
For all your love and concern
Is left to reside
Dormant and invisible
On that heart that you hide.
