Recollecting Fortress

————————————-xxx—————————————

I'll just wait for a while 

While you drown in a sōliloquium of denial

Tucked away inside my fortress of memories 

Walls of a vault crowded with vivid imagery 

Soft, driven, harsh and mad, like some new language

I see a life, and it’s people, profoundly called bondage

Far away from materialistics

Like a deer

Prone to wound

For jests can be feigned for the living

A tiger, a bush, cloaking

You stay in my fortress, bolted

Victimise myself as I see it all manifested

Maybe I’ll just linger here for a while

Not to touch but to take, maybe it isn’t mine

A Letter To a Friend

It has been a quarter of the lives we should live through. A sequence of seamless times, time easy, times rough. Maybe it had it all, from times to mention again and times to be not spoken of again. You’ve been there, you will. I’ve talked about worlds past and will. To being the closest thing to my best friend, you mind stepping those shoes. Why is it that you don’t see this in a new light? My pieces of conflict and complications occur because of you. I know it, I know you, I’ve spoken to you in silence. To have explored landmarks left on the world on big cities. Doesn’t it look exciting? You enjoy being part of memories. Don’t realise how you don’t remain in only one anymore, how you’ve denied yourself to keep distances casual.  How long would it be best for us to stay in a bubble of denial. Maybe let’s meet again and revisit ourselves. Maybe this time you realise how you’ve scheduling a memory of you in many moments. There’s always a lot of world to see maybe differently. From someone to someone after endless battles with denials buried, a leap of faith to not let down again. For time has gone, with things happy and unknown, but for a seemless reality now. What if this never fades out? 

Relighting Love

 ————————————-xxx—————————————

I was not very far away from home

Street lights dysfunctional and black

Could see the porch at bay, coloured chrome

Nothing to see beyond the junction, lost track

Have I lost my way, issuing decrees blatant and sublime

A new avenue along these crooked walls, walls unaligned

Writings on these walls fill spaces in those psychedelic lines

Writings on the wall wandering, relic not lost for l’amour mine

 ————————————-xxx—————————————

Faded Emotion

Why can’t I love you

Till the end of time, to days when I need you

Cause you make me shy

Cause you make me smile

You make me fly

You get me high

Like two birds in sheets of time

Like a peacock in the clouded sunny sky

Dancing till the end of time, to days I find you

Why can’t I now see you

We can jump in a puddle of joy

We can love, love, love and love

Let us love, dim the lights, time is not enough   

Miscalculations

————————————————————————————-xxx————————————————————————

Let’s dissolve a past we lived together 

The music helps it flow and circle perimeters unattainable but fine 

It’s the sound of the liquid gushing and oozing, forming miracles of its own feather 

Soft, mild, warm and high, feeling of your flesh against mine

A feeling we share, like the greens in the divine garden, a garden not for the legions

Let’s resolve that past, together, create a region, new seasons, based on our hopeless miscalculated reasons

Summer Afternoon

--------------------------------------------------xxx----------------------------------------------------------

It was one late summer afternoon atop a mountain

I sat there with a mellow heart and a heavy mind 

My thoughts ran freely, inside out, my thoughts ran, of the general kind

Thoughts of times and seasons of all years

Thoughts with my childlike freedom and constrains

How gardens were as green as I lie on here 

How growing up was rocky like the mountain terrains 

I came close to you and clouds flew by

Realisations pierced my heart as there I lie

All this time, I came close to you yet you never felt it, none

The sun was strong, stranger than the city one

I wanted to feel warmer, and it was the perfect setup done,

The chill in the winds blew across my face, so disturbing, so cold and shrewd

All it made me realise, how similar it was to you

--------------------------------------------------xxx----------------------------------------------------------

Coffee in a Whiskey Glass

-------------------------------------------------------xxx---------------------------------------------------------

As I sit here with coffee in a whiskey glass

Hoping for the time spent apart to roll and pass 

Hoping for my wait, the walk through a forest with smoking grass

Patriarchy, the man, running wild, for a prey, not in the distant mile 

Seek for a you, a version of you, maybe you

Their drools swamp the ground as I wait and search, yet not found 

This day you told me, you’d return 

Now it feels like a maybe, with that sun turn 

I sit awake at night, waiting for you to knock on the door 

I could find an island in your arms, poetry in your eyes and I sit here in pain hoping not for a lullaby 

It’s hard to numb the weight of my eyes, same feeling when I’m mesmerised 

Race to the door, please, as fast, as I sit here sipping my coffee in a whiskey glass

-------------------------------------------------------xxx---------------------------------------------------------

Windy Ways

--------------------------------------------------------------xxx--------------------------------------------------

Then I walked across you swiftly as you noticed me

Touched your hand gently, as you felt the breeze 

Moving through seasons all I, I come by surprise 

Notice me you wouldn't, until you feel me move by

For your beautiful eyes can't see me

All that I do is just make them heavy 

Nature calls to me as it's own and nature is divine 

Valleys of mountains, trees and sea have seldom told 

And it is all a creation of art, art sublime 

Trails don't speak of me, they whisper and I mould

Travel across the alleys, alleys of the world whole 

That is what I do, and never of what I'm told 

Understand it now my sweet love, you're an obstruction in my move 

Understand, I always have a way to go

Love to make you dance, sing and groove 

Then You seek me in the summers and turn your back in the cold 

Remember when I walk swiftly, you notice me bold 

Remember as I make you feel good and fleek 

This is my time to go, they call me the wind, you can call me the breeze and there, there I just brushed your cheek

Dream On

--------------------------------------------------xxx--------------------------------------------------------------

Have you ever heard people say things like

She’ll step back at your gate

It’s her to time to make you wait

That she will need to be by your side

Do you ever think about things like

The time you spent thinking on her lap 

When your arm slept when she took a nap

That you will need to be by her side

All you need now is to take back what’s yours

All you need now is to take back what cures 

The moment you let your guards down 

Just when you need to feel her arms around

That’s when it hits you

She’s gone

Can you ever remember those times when

You felt so complete with her 

She fell deeply just like her lover

You saved her from those bad men

Did you ever need her when

You lost that one and only friend

You had that one vivid dream

You saw her leave when you were mean

All you need now is to get back what’s yours

All you need now is to get back what cures

The moment you let your guards down

Just when you need to feel her arms around

That’s when it hits you

She’s gone

Now you see a shadow through the window

Now you hear a knock on the door

You see her standing there with a red nose

You walk up to kiss her, there the pain goes

After the sunset there came a sunrise

All you needed was to hold her tight

All you needed was to see her to your right

When you see those lips wrinkle her eyes

You are then and there mesmerized 

That’s when it hits you

She’s a dream

Kuekuatsu

--------------------------------------------------xxx--------------------------------------------------------------

You never know where to end
You never find out where to begin
Things just go out of hand
That is when you give in

A long start of a starry night
Yet they dim with the moon light
The lonely survivor with its might
She stands alone in her fight

The lover the moon was
The lover she can never be
Dangling above a billion lives
She, the moon, can't find her lost cause

A path weary and frail
She goes around searching like Nightingale
She is a light that brightens at night
Not because of the darkness
But just the will to fight

To fight and find the piece she lost
The piece stolen, the piece gone
To find the peace that it holds for her
To hold on to it tight

A little stroll forward
She stumbles on to someone
Someone close to her all this while
Someone she met after a long while

The sun who traced her path
She stayed with joy and tears mix
That day was called an eclipse
Their story reigned for centuries
The Kuekuatsu couldn't beat destiny

Transforming Landscapes

--------------------------------------------------------xxx--------------------------------------------------------

Amidst this changing landscape I go

These places I didn't see before 

Wondering how these hills were formed, so high

Take me to new scenes as the clouds above fly by

Hope it doesn't pass, this endless moment 

These new places as I before never dreamt 

Sparkling eyes with beauty intake 

All that misses is the beauty you could never fake 

Those eyes hid with childlike innocence 

Your eyes, the natural beauty I miss 

That hairdo so tidy and dense 

Visit these landscapes next I will 

Completing nature with the beauty of you

Thoughts of you made me feel so full

Little joy, love, faith and a little bit of fool 

These moments I capture in my eyes and mind 

All shall be complete when spaces between my fingers, yours they find

--------------------------------------------------------xxx--------------------------------------------------------

Season of Christmas

------------------------xxx----------------------------

''Twas a few nights before Christmas 

Winter as cold as the mountain peaks 

Dark moonlit night it was 

The moon light which highlighted your cheeks

Sun was stolen from the sky 

The shepherds sang the glory rhyme 

Sat far you by the fire 

Who you wait for, lady mine

Felt so lonely, felt so mild 

It's a Christmas season, smile

Spread the joy, spread love around 

The two things, hidden, in you I found 

You sit there thinking about times 

Times you fought, lost track of lines 

Ever wonder where I might be 

In the streets, the church or my reverie

Another chapter in my endless stories you write 

Maybe not treat you like a princess, but my lady in white 

Cold wind blows, making the hands cold 

When I reach out, warm, your cheeks, like everglow

As 'twas the night before Christmas 

I ran away from worldly business 

Knew the place to go after the liquor round 

Fast I ran, sweating in the winter so cold, I found 

I found belief, believe I fell, but not down
