    I write when I’m sad, when I’m happy, when I lost my way, when I feel good. I write to remind me of the treasure I have within and without ;)

    You’re A Poem

    I wrote my first poem 

    at the age of two

    Before I knew how to read. 

    I read my first poem to you 

    At the age of five 

    Before I knew how to love 

    I confessed my love to you 

    At the age of ten 

    Before I knew what was real 

    I committed myself to you

    At the age of twenty 

    Before I knew how you felt about me 

    I always knew that you were 

    The one for me, 

    Before I knew my own self 

    Because darling 

    Every taste of you 

    Every feeling for you 

    Every touched from you

    Every thought of you 

                  Is A Poem

    Crying In Color

    When I lay in

    My bed

    To write you a poem 

    I can imagine

    You laying In yours

    When you read my poem ,

    Baby my bed is simple and

    As ordinary as most,

    But yours is special. 

    Special because only 

    In your bed that I can hear 

    Your heart whispering 

    It’s colorful music in my ear

    Only in your bed that your smile 

    can double as my light 

    To show me how to hold back tears 

    Baby, only in your bed as I lay in your arms can I ever imagine crying in color and painting myself a sweeter world.

    I Chose Me

    When the deep Black clouds

    Rest above his head

    He finds himself

    Talking to the mirror

    But No one answers.

     

    He speaks His mind

    Into the wind Columns

    But

    No one replies

    In his Lonely mind

    He has Two-way Conversations

    With people Who are not there

     

    Like his mind Got caught up

    In a pressure cooker

    A lot of twists and turns

    With no destination in sight.

     

    As if he is fighting

    Two battles

    Between love and hate

    The devil and God

    While holding his revolver

    Against his temple

    Like a game

    Of Russian roulette

    To please the voices In his ears

    A never ending story

    No matter how hard he tries

    To ignore the black clouds

     

    To his surprised

    The whispers,...

    In The Mirror

     

    In the mirror I am 

    That man with the wings , 

    Where undeniably I stay above all

    Turns hell into heaven 

    Where the light remains lit

    In the darkness that is solely mine.

    Even The Sun Lies

     

       
       
     

     

    I’ve searched all skies 

    For a better path 

    A better place 

    For my heart to called it’s own 

    Basically a better lover 

    But In the end 

    What I have discovered 

    Everything seems to be temporary 

    A doubtful world

    A deceitful world 

    A heartless world 

    But I’m not surprised , 

    Because even the sun 

    Sometimes hold back love 

    Holds back kindness 

    The brightest of things 

    Scurrying to bring shade 

    To its o...

    Smile

    Sometimes

    It hits you All at once

    And Hurts you All at once

    But I’ve learnt

    That

    There’s joy

    And Happiness

    On

    The other side

    Of pain

     

    Smile 😊

    Us For Us

     


     

    Some say 

    This love

    Would never  last 

    Nowadays saying 

    It must be luck, 

    While for those who truly 

    Believe in true love 

    Knows that 

    this kind of love 

    Can only be the will of God 

    Written in the stars

    Shining lights upon us 

    But regardless, 

    Whatever

    Reasoning we prefer

    To apply 

    From past to present 

    From present to the future 

    From hope to overcoming 

    Whatever it may be 

    I can only say and

    Sealed with a kiss to the star

    Shine the brightest 

    That, 

    I’m glad 

    He has chosen us

    For us!

    From Time To Time

     

    Love doesn’t test, it gives! 

     

    Love doesn’t control, it frees!

     

    Love is wise but never calculating

     

    I know we don’t always see eye to eye 

     

    From time to time

     

    Just pull me close and love me anyway!

    Before You Fall


    Love don’t live here 
    I am lust in disguised 
    A reckless man,  
    A reckless lover
    Black clouds underneath blue sky 
    A monsoon, soon underneath your eyes 
    A shaky terrain 
    For all hearts that ever dare to feel for me 
    A drop of truth 
    Inside a bucket of lies 
    Baby If I were you 
    I would run away from my lies 
    Like tear drops against bruised skin
    For not a single seed from your basket of love 
    Could ever grow and blossom here 
    In this deceitful desert of my soul 
    A soft warning for the sake of your heart 
    Out of a last drop of an empty bucket of truth
    Baby I can only pray 
    It reaches your heart on time 
    Before you fall!

    My Clumsiness

    Baby , Please excuse me For my clumsiness

    For the overflowed Cup of heart

    For the fresh picked flowers With all the thorne still attached

    For the never ending Love letters

    For the breakfast In bed

    The foot massage To get your morning started

    Baby, Please excuse me For the overwhelming

    Phone messages to just Say I love you

    Please excuse me For all the selfless things I do

    The sleepless nights Because I cannot rid Not even for a brief

    The good thoughts of you

    Please excuse me For my clumsiness

    Because baby , It’s not that I’m a clumsy man

    It’s Just that I’ve never Been in love before

    And

    I’m in love with you !

    My Question Is , Darling

     

    The crazy thing is,
    like a wind knocking you off your feet.
    Like the sun suddenly disappear 
    without warning, without reasoning. 
    "Love"
    It can happen in the blink of an eye.
    Love can come and fill every space 
    that you have cleaned out in your soul. 
    See, when you set your soul right 
    and you empty out the emotional clutter...
    when the timing is right...
    when you learn to be whole in and of yourself...
    in the moment love comes...
    it comes complete.  
    It amplifies your wholeness 
    and elevates you and all around you. 
    
     "Do you believe in love at first sight?"

    Sunrise

     

    Just when

    I think

    I have traveled

    A far enough distance

    From the uncertainty of life

    I wake

    To find myself

    Once more 

    In the abyss of all. 

    This life forevermore 

    Will take us to so many unexpected places 

    We will fight so many battles 

    In every season’s 

    And so many scars

    To remind us of the battles well fought 

    Then one day 

    When we wake 

    From such nightmares 

    We feel like we’re liberated 

    We’re inspired 

    When we find fellow warriors 

    Who all share

    In one battle , 

    Together 

    We manifest a strong will 

    Able to achieve the unimaginable 

    The impossible 

    The miracles

    That,

    Always Forward

    Being “woke” does not lie in the abundance of your knowledge or the vehemence of your opinions. It lies in the compassion with which you serve others and the sacrifice you are willing to make on their behalf.
