A mind needs books the way a sword needs a whetstone to keep its edge sharp.....
Shooting stars,
paint the skies gold,
sparkling in shimmering dusts,
as if the moon shed tears of diamond,
glowing in buoyancy,
The past is left behind,
as the new era takes reigns,
a perfect cycle of twelve moons,
as Janus sits on his throne,
winding time in perfect harmony,
Times flies, never stops,
carrying along the burden of the world,
whispering prayers,
of hopes and dreams,
of sorrows and woes,
of joys and hapinness,
floating free through time,
that keeps the world in one peace
Ensnared into a forbidden bargain,
To get me out of the damp cold maze,
When it is no longer bearable,
And the world has turned into an eclipse,
In the absence of sun and moon,
Trembling and shivering in fear,
Blood rushing fast, heart beats faster,
As I step into my blind side,
Ignoring warnings and conscience,
Right or wrong grows into a shade of blur,
Lost in a whimsical dream,
That weakens my senses and defenses,
Captivating moments of alluring desire,
To breathe and feel the love,
Engulfing me in a fire of wintry rage,
Intertwined in confusion,
Racing thoughts lie in wait,
Of love and betrayal,
Of passion and retaliation,
Of good and evil,
of dream and reality,
Staring at the twinkling stars,
a lady awaits in nervous,
her gaze is careless,
her gait is restless,
her heart ponders like a drumming bells,
anxious to meet her far away promise,
Staring at the golden moon above,
the lady awaits in haze,
her shadow copies her every move,
playing hide and seek under the moonlit,
stealing a chance to merge with night,
and fly high across the skies,
As the night darken deeper,
the nightingale perch on the cherry tree,
watching full of grief and woe,
as the cherry blossoms raining down in miasma,
covering her slender figure in sweet fragrance,
the smell of sweet love and heartache,
a piercing cry breaks the silence,
carried away in the gushing wind,
as a black shadow emerge in silhouette,
crashing down hard right on her feet,
a white cloth inserted on its beak,
some letter written in blood,
"Grieve not for me my love,
for I have lived full and content,
within your passion and care,
wait not for me my love,
for life has parted with me,
as I kissed your lips with mine"
Tears rolls down her eyes,
as she lifted the dead white dove,
and red blood drips from its wings,
and along with it, her heart dies,
when she rides away.
to a place she not know where
I remember the day we met,
On one brisk cool daylight,
As strangers who seek for solace,
From the woes and sorrows of our life,
Our fears were driven away,
As we shared our secrets for comfort,
While we gazed at the moon so perfect,
Rotating in its orb with her golden radiant,
Our friendship started to grow much more,
We thought the world were ours,
To build our own happily ever after sphere,
Where we shared our joyous laughter with ease,
And bear our unhappiness in stillness,
As long as we got each other,
The days flew by, we lost track of time,
Just when I thought all was well,
you began to pull me through hell,
With all the absurdities of our quest,
Taking a chance into a fate,
Trying to beat it with one quick wisp,
Until we shed our blood and tears,
Fighting over something we never win
Stranded alone,
among crowds of strangers,
that walk away and pass by me,
no one look and care but their own fare,
Stranded alone,
walking in confusion,
thinking of how I got here,
shivering with eerie thoughts,
Stranded alone,
staring at the crowds,
impatient to be out,
finding a way back home,
Stranded alone,
lost in bewilderment,
trying to make out a face familiar,
so i can be lead back home
Midnight bell has rung,
yet here i am still lie awake,
lost in millions questions,
that seem find no answer,
I open my window to let the breeze in,
to fill my lungs that stop to pump,
choking my breath till i gasp for air,
and hold my heart to make sure it still beats,
I look at the night,
so dark and full of mysteries,
just like the path i must cross,
to take me into the other side,
my tears tricke down my face,
as i stare into the empty space,
sadness pierce through my core,
and i fall down to my knees,
I lost in sobs,
trying to reach someone close,
to lay my head on his shoulders,
sharing my woes and worries,
Yet, here I am still in tears,
with nobody offering comfort,
to lend a shoulder to cry on,
and i am left alone.
Myriad of lights dust off the skies,
Glowing bright, twinkling in jest,
and the moon is gathering dust of halo,
where you stand in solitary,
As your fingers dance solemnly,
a music floats softly,
so beautiful and mystical,
captivating all hearts that listen,
as it touches the soul,
I stand here amazed,
feeling deep inside mesmerized,
closing my eyes and other senses,
to let your music takes me into flight,
as you sing your song,
the wind stops breathing,
the moon and stars bow in respect,
the river and the mountain cry in understanding,
it is the music of love,
it is the music of goodbye,
as you look into my eyes,
with your final ryhme
