Trail of flowers

I guess we were meant to part
Thousands of miles separate us

But I left behind a trail of flowers
For you to follow, to ever find me

Every one of my poems a blossom
Crossing distance between hearts

Washed ashore

I was washed ashore
On a calm quiet beach
In an unknown island

Gulped a lot of seawater
I coughed to catch breath
My memories were vague

Got shipwrecked midway
Can't recall how I made it
Alive from all the wreck

The new island promises
Hope for my sustenance
There's much to explore

Nothing of my old travels
Remain but untrue stories
Now's time to begin afresh

Speak

I wished to speak my mind
Break boundaries doing so
But the mind is the barrier
Greatest one there ever is

But then how to transcend
Mind's futile endeavours
Escape maze of thoughts
Find the source of origin

Unbound and truly free
Without any distinction
Everything everywhere
All ever encompassing

I wished to speak my mind
It was my point of poetry
But words form barriers
Silence can say all there is

Sunday

The pressure cooker blows its whistle
Breaking silence of a quiet day alone
Lazy weekend best woken post noon
In a messy room which feels so home

Away from the piling office workload
Few moments of bliss to be on my own
Free from a world of disappointments
Cooking a mushy meal to barely suffice 

The cooker off the flame hisses quietly
Open window displays a tireless road
The afternoon evokes such bliss within
I wish this time could stretch evermore

Face to face

I'm face to face with my life
Questioning myself deeply
A few weeks to my oblivion
Life is a sincere revelation

I realize I'm such a fool
I have achieved nothing
And the world is beyond
My futile grasp to hold

My nerves are bit shaky
Nights slightly dreamy
I see several flashbacks
Lost corners of memory

The day I sat on the beach
Waves roaring as I held
Tiny seashells lost in sand
Riddled with many colors

And this vision tells much
About my past, present
And my upcoming future
Which now slowly unfolds

Roaring sea of uncertainty
Will always be threatening
But will still wash seashells
For us to cherish and keep

Full Moon

It was a full moon night
The moon shined bright
All stars were bedazzled
Street lights seemed vain

Empty streets glistened
Vehicles hastily passed
As I walked desolately
Unfeeling earth below

A dog howled, slid by
Sensing presence of
A departed lost soul
Seeking redemption

It was a full moon night
The moon shined bright
The wind echoed despair
As I walked in dead quiet

Clouds

Clouds in blue sky
Wafting in breeze
Reminds me a bit
It's today isn't it?

The past receded
Into far oblivion
Marks slowly fade
For new beginning

There's but a patch
Of blue sky above
To light up the way
For a fulfilling day

Clouds in blue sky
Wafting in breeze
Reminds always
It's today isn't it?
