INTUITION
My mind
sang a song
I did not
pay heed to.
It played a rythm,
I craved no time
to dance to.
Whiles,
they whiled away,
conniving with cunning time.
They evaporated
like wild whiles do.
Snatching away the secrets
my dear mind once crooned.
My ears were too defeated to listen.
My memory too occupied
to pay attention.
Now, I stand here
numbed with regrets..
For my mind,
she
sings no more.
At times there are key things I know I should not let slip by, yet I let procrastination capture me. I remain a prisoner in her den.
Edit: Intuition is a special gift.

FAMILY
You hide your tears
beneath the sheets
of your bed. For fear....
I know that feeling.
I have felt that way too.

Your anguish surges
like a tsunami.
Your agony
vandalizes faster than
a tornado. I know that feeling.

You frown
in suprise at my utterance.
A stranger cannot have an inkling
to my hell.  I am no stranger baby.
I have been there. I know that feeling.

I see a beaming star called you.
You.nique,
in all your deeds. Is the whole world skies enough for you to shine?
For the moon is also at your service.

This blood of rejection
once ran through my veins.
Why shall I not call you family?
For I realized that all in all, we are
stars enough for the skies!!!
I realize that there is no need to feel rejected despite what life may have served me. I am who I feel I am....

TRY
TRY
I shall
test the waters
Though my mind's mode is uncertain.
I shall
Step into the deep blue unknown.
I shall forge on
And on,
Till the waves overwhelm me.
And the tides
Suppress my lungs.
For knowledge's sake
I shall TRY!
We never know the end result of anything if we do not try.

UNCERTAIN SKIES
The birds whistle away
Tweeting favourite lullabies.
The sun has transformed
Oranging,
From her brilliant yellow hue.
She vanished,
Hiding in her room.

The day
Which once posed
In bright neon shades
Of noon,
Has tasted the shadows
Of the moon.

A slice of the moon
Flaunts herself
In the naked, neutral dark skies.
The earth rages queerly.
Vomitting  a warning sign.


My mind dabbles
In its ignorant guessing
As I gaze upon
The uncertain skies.

I feel like a meteor
Might fall to the earth
Tonight.
Sometimes I feel like I can predict the next minute but it turns out I am not always right.

— The End —
