Runaway

Sitting in the darkness where I don’t know

When the midnight wind blows

To fly away to Neverland

And wonder why their skies aren’t blue

 

I skipped and jumped

After seeing part of the truth

Though you might not agree with what they say or do

Yet always remember that truth loves me and you

 

I lifted myself high reaching the falling rain

To wash my sorrows away yet

There I heard thunder and rage

Thought I saw dim and grey clouds

But it was my shadow beaming against the curtain of falling flakes

 

My wings aren’t broken just

Running away from fears and pains

Cause I was living the drains of life

Seeking peace and putting out its flames

 

I know nothing can be solved or gained from running away

However, I just wanted to understand how things can be restrained

Setting my mind free by running back to my inner self

Hoping that one day will have the strength to find the heart of mine

And start somewhere fresh and rest till it’s time to let go

Dive

Dive for dreams
In rivers and streams
In the wide oceans and seas
 
Dive down into the deep water
Where only you and the self can breathe in the seawater
Where you try to connect with your thoughts over and over
 
Dive silently into the wreck
Going in circles every sec
Hunting for dreams and secret treasures
 
Dive to meet the haters,
Meet the cold, thriving heartbreakers
And confront the discriminators and be the mediator
 
Dive to uncover mysteries
To wade in the water, search for drown statues, and discover histories
To dig deep and learn about the hidden conspiracies
 
Dive into the depth of your words
To unleash the beauty of your world
And live to the utmost and always move forward

 

 

A Fallen Leaf

A light leaf spots an anxious face

Falling dearly near an empty space

Igniting dreams and eager frustrations

Leaving mysteries in desperation

Touch

And a smile was drawn

Hush

And a sweet tune was dwelled on

An artful shadow drove over like a gray cloud in winter

Then a hand held it tightly and whispered 

"I am going to keep you regardless the bitter and the better"

Running in the field of fear

Gushing tear after tear

Softer than silence, stiller than still air

Floating up and down like snowfall, tireless, fair

Too tight to bare 

It cracked and the face was in despair 

Fragile and the yellowing leaves were held in pieces 

A vibrant sound echoed and releases

"In every change, in every falling leaf, there is some pain, some beauty to embrace

No trace to efface 

I shall be scattered but not defeated 

Cause life starts all over again to arrest the dreamer, wanderer, and heartbroken on their aimless ways no matter what the season."

The Awakening Sunflower

Sunflowers stood upon the edge 
Awaken and ready to pledge
Sunlight set things to ablaze 
Revealing the darkness that’s hidden from your face

Golden shadows beamed and glowed
Crossing miles and railroads
Their bright presence had unloaded
Above all the weeds and roses, they had spoken 

Words of wisdom to rejoice
Find a purpose and dig up the soil
Raise your words not your voice 
Quench your thirst as rain grows sunflowers not by choice 

Each night, war of drums beats
They’d skip and repeat
Sunflowers are awaken from their deep sleep
To elevate your hopes and dreams

They’re ready to spread seeds of happiness 
To wipe your sorrows and sadness 
Because you, “dearest highness”
Should take a cause and dive  in
Break some doors and walk like a champion

The Nostalgic Clouds

With the flow and the rush of the crowd
There laid thousands of wispy clouds
Bringing hope of fresh pure showers
Feeding the thirsty trees and flowers

Dragons, elephants, turtles, and whales
Cloudy shapes were pictured and framed
"I spot" and some other imaginary games
Where dragons spread their wings in flight
Ready to win the courageous fights

While gazing at the starry night sky
And wishing for a shooting star
Dark hues of blues faded in
Night clouds had drifted in
Shading the twinkling stars
Keeping that distant way far

So closed my eyes with hands in the air
Saying a little prayer
"May the wind sweep with care
For the stars to shine here and there..

Dear Fear

Dear me
Dear you
Dear self
Who is seeing itself in the mirror
Reflecting its deepest scars with horror
Giving into fear
Shedding tear after tear
Tricking its potentials
Wiping away its credentials
Leaving itself in droughts
Drowning itself in the river of doubts

Dear me
Dear you
Dear fear
Stop draining every bit of confidence that has left in me
Stop ruling my life and set me free
Stop calling me "hopeless" and putting me in dismay
As people will have their raining days

Dear me
Dear you
Dear self
Be confident and proud
By simply looking around
As fear won't overtake you when you're looking at the most splendid sky
Thanking the One above

Let's Write

Hold down to my pen

And

Write for me a song or a story

Write for me a poem or two

Write for me a chapter or a novel

Write for me your thoughts about your dreams

If your pen crumbled

And your voice got distracted

Let your hand take your mind

For a walk across the page

Fill it

With letters and words

With images and figures

Keep walking your mind

Beyond darkness and moonless nights

Beyond sidewalks and crowded streets

Beyond the parks and gardens

With friends or colleagues

Keep writing

Free your mind

Feel your mind

Pull it from its leash

Take it into mysterious lands

Dim forests

The highest mountains

Creepy houses

And stormy nights

To places you never thought of visiting

As your notebook fills with words and phrases

Like footprints printed on snow
