Heartsease

Tripping the light fantastic

In the serene daisy field

I feel an orb of light

Glowing with all it's might

In the depths of my heart

Just like the one in the sky

It spreads life all around

My soul feeds on its power

And keeps growing stronger

Without a care in the world

I dance in the meadows

Only blood, sweat and tears

No fret nor fear

The plan is perfect

So is the Planner

I can pull through, no matter what

Cos the light inside me is enough

To chase away all the darkness

The Night Prayer

Lying on the vast grass-covered ground 

Cool wind blowing flower scent all around

As the zephyr caresses my countenance,

A smile lights it up as bright as the sun.

Serenity takes over my soul.

Thinking of You I close my eyes.

The absence of all noise, makes me feel

Like on this earth only I am alive

And in the heaven only You exist

Oh, how euphoric it is!

I open my eyes and raise my arm

Towards You, I stretch my hand

As I see the daylight fade

And twilight take its place

I wait eagerly for that hour to reach

When You will be nearest to me

So many stories to tell

So many sorrows to share

So many wishes to whisper

So many sins to repent for

I just lie there and wait for You

The One I can pour my heart out to

The stars shall witness our conversation

I will keep rambling till the break of dawn

Though You are always there to listen

This is certainly the best time for it to happen

Rising From The Ashes

Like rain drops racing down the windscreen

Staining my cheeks all wet, tears roll down.

Like a car on an erratic drive

My life takes unpredictable turns.

Like a passenger I observe the passing scenery

Events take place and I watch them without balking.

Like aeonian cicatrices and contusions

They leave their mark on my existence.

Like getting stabbed by slender needles

The piercing pains are caused by words.

Like the sun on a bright day

I go out and pretend.

Like the stars at night

Lonely in the dark attic;

Like a stone statue

I sit and contemplate.

Like a gaping, bleeding wound is covered

I suppress and hold back my fears.

Like the candle burns the moth

I hurt whoever comes close.

Like a flimsy dam barely holding up

I feel like I might fall apart.

Like a speck of ember persisting in the ash

My heart struggles to surpass the trash.

Like a warrior who doesn't give up

I try to pick myself back up.

Like no season lasts forever

My melancholy starts to disappear.

Like bearing pain allows you to gain

I standup stronger, having gone through the same.

Like a victor flaunts his prize

I wear my scars with pride.

Like a diamond shines after undergoing pressure

I get back in the saddle being firmer than ever.

Magic All Around

Barely containing my joy

I raise my head up high

A world of opportunities

Awaits my arrival

Scores of paths to choose from

Each being one of a kind

My hand struggles 

To paint a canvas

Bring forth the colors

No one has seen before

My fingers type infinitely

Resulting in intricate webs

My eyes see and observe

The mind's racing; impulses rush

Problems are endless

So is the process

Of giving births to solutions

Whether it's the sky or the ocean

The Savannahs or the deserts

My brain processes it all

Every minor detail

Is decrypted, or made into a whole

No matter where I go

It never fails to fire me up

No matter what I learn

The feeling is awesome

As I learn I connect

With my predecessors

And create and leave a legacy

For the owners of the future

Emptiness

It's like the streets are empty

Even when people are there

I can't enjoy the amazing tastes

That I once used to crave

Everything seems so insipid

Is it a farewell I need to bid?

To something that makes me cringe

But I don't even know what that is

My mind's too numb to think

The cloudy sky looks so dull

I wish the rain could wash it all

So I could find my own muse

And paint a whole new picture

Filled with bright, vibrant colors

That are invisible to me right now

Or maybe draw an amazing sketch

Make my world black and white

Whose grace would elate every soul

That witnesses my masterpiece

The streets will never be empty again

I will fill them with amazing people

Sharing my bliss with everyone

How incredibly euphoric that will feel

Everything will be making sense 

Nothing will be out anyone's reach

That Xanadu will be one to last forever

I can’t wait for the rain to come

I have to get up and take a step

Grab as many hands as I can

And run like there is no tomorrow

To the place where the rain is waiting

To turn my whole life around 

A Forlorn Desire

I feel like screaming,

All this pain is so agonizing.

There is zilch that I can do,

About the wounds scaring my soul.

My heart is impaled with a thousand knifes,

There is no stopping the downpour of my eyes.

I cannot have what I want,

And all I can do is crave it.

This longing in my heart,

Has become a forlorn desire.

My soul weeps knowing it can't happen.

For it there is neither a cure, nor a consolation.

Yet, there lies a spark in my heart.

Whose light is enough to illuminate my whole world.

It's warmth makes all the doubt fade away.

Hope and faith overcome the feelings of being awry.

Things may be impossible and beyond my expectations.

But my gracious Creator is completely above these limitations.

My Lord has the power to do all things.

He has given me countless blessings.

He can fulfill my forlorn desire too.

Be patient and pray is all I can do.

Now I have no worries, none whatsoever.

Nothing saddens me, not even my forlorn desire.

Life and Lemonade

They say when life throws lemons at you,

You ought to make lemonade.

Who makes this stuff up anyway?

When lemons are being pelted onto your head

In no world can you think about making lemonade

Besides, making lemonade is not that easy

You need to check if the lemons are juicy

Grab sugar and water and a glass to hold them

And salt to make it extra tasty

All this is just a different story

Far away from the truth of reality

Of facing all those nasty hardships

Don’t let the rules of this world hold you down

Rise and aim for the heaven; not frown

Destroy all these silly shackles

Don’t spare any obstacles

Release yourself and be free to follow your heart

Because that is where you will find the truth

Believe in it and all shall be well

Free from worries, your life will be swell

Live it to the fullest and leave no regret

The destination may be the same for everyone

But the path; you have to find your own.

Making lemonade is not the only way

Use your heart and mind; do what they say
