Don't be lost
in another persons
dream of you.
The only person
i ever lost
and needed back
was myself.
I am lost
but now i
found me again.
I've been
wandering around
myself for a
while and thought
it was a
tree until i
looked up and
saw my face
and my eyes,
never really
realized i am
actually here
within myself.
I'm never really
lost but only
disappeared from
myself a moment.
Am i ever
so glad
to be right here.
Discovery of self
is an amazing
thing in itself,
it's like a
budding rose flower
unfolding daily
in the sunlight,
sharing its fragrance
subtly in the wind
to the end
of nowhere.
It is loves
unfolding dream
that comes in
the hours of
our aloneness to
light up our lives.
It purifies and
lifts the soul
higher to embrace
the bliss that
unfolds quietly
in our being.
In stillness
we absorb and
abandon ourselves
to it's splendor.

This special
night that comes
once in a while
with the stars
shinning and twinkling,
heralding a beautiful
alluring full moon,
the largest of
its kind,
illuminating the
darkness as if
to make it
momentarily
run away.
Something is so
special about tonight.
This moon
large and full,
so bright and so
near the earth
as if you
could touch it.
It is magical
and so beautiful.
Intense and powerful,
alludes to giving
up anything that
no longer serve
us anymore.
Bringing in the new
and discarding the old.
A new dawn of
a new beginning
just emerged
like a covering.
The lovers night,
where two hearts
merged and reunite.
Heaven and earth
touched and blended
subtly by the
powers of the
universe.
This magical
new moon affects
everything within
and beyond our
sphere and adorned
our space with
a new life.
Offering new tidings
for new things
to occur.

Hot love is
like the African
catfish pepper soup
served hot.
With sweaty face,
nose dripping
and mouth gulping
noisily as you
savour with concentration
on the aromatic
delicious saucy savoury
watery dish.
So is the
display of love
between the two
lovers dealing with
themselves doing
the ultimate unspeakable
unimaginable things
which the mouth
cannot express
or utter.
You won't believe
you did that
after it's done,
only the memories
haunting you in
your aloneness
and silence.
Stealing smiles
as you glance
at each other
with eyes locked
in knowingness
with a secret
nod unseen.
The heart desires
joyfully and secretly
for more intimacy
with a loved one
like this one
again and again
doing the you
know what.
I'm not a
psychic or a clairvoyant,
but I can
see that smile
on your face.

I am on
fire burning
for you.
You complete me.
I know you
can feel the
warmth and
the heat
from my soul.
It's all just
for you.
I will never
leave a scar
on your body,
only in your
heart and soul
will you feel
me and know
my essence.
You will never
be able to
stop your breathe,
for the air is
all about me.
You can hold
your breath,
i pulsate in you.
I am the
stillness you feel
when you are alone.
The wine that
intoxicates you
even when you
didn't drink.
The lyrics you
hum and sing
even though it
has no words
to describe how
it makes you feel.
I am the coolness
of the breeze
that touches you
when you take
a walk on the beach.  
I am the
verse in you.
A love to be
desired and
cherished always.
Yours forever.

A glimpse into
a lost soul
is unimaginably
a painful one
like a sore thumb.
Lost in a
twilight of an
oblivious zone
is this child
of love who
has lost the
will to live
and the way
back home.
Living in a
dual complex world.
Lost within a
self built wall
as if in a
self made iron
clad fence.
A prisoner in
shock and shambles,
living in *******.  
Gazing into the
air with a
glossy eye.
No one knows
what he's trying
to say or do
but in his
silence the eyes
speaks volumes.
How can he
be reached within
his solitude of
frightening calmness.
Even when you try,
as all you
get is silence.
His owl cry
cut through the
silence of his
wilderness as if
disturbed by
unsolicited intrusion.
While all he
needed is tender
loving care.

You are my
unspeakable elixir.
The thoughts of
you warms
my heart with
joy and gladness.
Your love
captivates
my heart.
You are the
one that
makes my heart
beats faster.
The one whose
voice melts my heart.
The one who
made me go
weak at the knees.
Your presence
is comforting
and reassuring,
soothing and gloriously
unimaginably beautiful.
Your embrace
makes my day.
Your smile warms
and melts the
cold and darkness
that looms at noonday.
The one that
calms down the
earthquakes i feel
in my heart.
The one whose
breathe is
my strength.
Come away with me
to the dance
call of love.
I want to
meet you at the
middle path of
the rhythm of
your heart beats.
Where heaven and
the earth resonates
without interference.
Where the soul
dances to the
beating of the
hearty melody.
It is there
that my heart
joyfully want to
walk with you.

I would that
i hung in
the air without
a thread holding
me to it,
just like the moon.
And run the
race around
the world,
like the earth.
I want to
walk down from
the sky in seasons,
like the rain
and the snow.
And flow with
freedom to
anywhere i wish,
like the river.
To be fair
like food crops
that is seasonal,
with their types
of colors and shapes,
to give different
tastes of many
sides of love.
Where are you
hiding my love,
you that knows
my heart and
soul and knows
how i feel,
come now to
rekindle the flame
of love divine
in my heart
and possess it
as your very own.
Wish i like
the stars you like,
and nights bright light.
To sit up
all night long
with you watching
the dark turn
into day.
I would give
anything just
to find such
a one.
The only one
my soul desire.
Appear from behind
the veil to
soothe and comfort
the heart that waits.
