Lonely Nights
Silent tears, fears, years.
Tears wash away fears,
Years drain silent tears,
Locking away all the fears.

Broken Dreams
Shattered hopes, ropes, slopes.
Hopes tied to frayed ropes,
Slopes of despair, dreams elope,
Locking away all the shattered hopes.

Tearful Memories
Pain, rain, drain.
Rain washes away the pain,
Drain discharged rain,
Locking away all the pain.

Guarded Heart
Heart, rampart, dart.
Painful rampart heart
Blocks away sharp love darts
Locking away the heavy heart.

Hurtful Scars
Hurt, dirt, chert.
Hurtful scars stain like dirt.
Dirt crystallizes in chert. Buried and inert,
Locking away all that hurt.

Your voice shakes the room
         and the surface of my heart,
            unleashing a seismic force of
                emotions washing over me.
                                Your smile shines bright
                            like the ocean surface
                Reflecting the blazing sun,
         Causing my heart to surge
     Like a small boat creating
Horizons of oscillating waves.
        Your eyes gaze like
              shimmering sea, where
                    each ripple a whisper,
                         each crest a sigh,
                          And I am forever lost
                              in the depths of your eyes.
             With the power of your voice,
          intensity of your smile,
       and the ebb and flow
    of your ocean gaze
  I'm swept away to a journey
With waves uncharted.

As the grass fields hush,
Longe a man, a lone sentinel,
Awaiting in the night's embrace,
By the river's mirror grace.

Mountains watch quietly,
Under swirling clouds
With bright yellow stars,
Dancing in the air.

A house, a haven by the bank,
Faces the man with silent thanks,
Does he gaze at dreams unseen,
Or yearn for home, lost memory?

Beneath the sky,
the stars evoke
Dancing greens
That takes flight
In Earth's protective cloak
A steadfast stroke.
This magnetic dance
Is a love creation
Of the sun's energy
With Earth's synergy,
A kiss of peace
And nature's masterpiece
That gives us a chance
To witness nature’s delight
Under the blanket night.

I fetched my coat
And walked to the boat
By the dock,
Trying to escape on a whim,
Then realized I didn't know
how to swim.

I decided to paddle
through calm  waters,
To adventure like any other,
Trying to embrace the unknown
then realized in waters deep
My courage overthrown.

I kept pressing on
Through the unclear horizon,
Trying to anchor my fears
and to catch up with time,
I then realized I had drifted for years.

Adrift in a sea of uncertainty,
With waves of doubts crashing against me
I tried to navigate the doldrums
I then realized the harsh reality,
With No refuge found, my spirit succumbs.

Alas, I will keep Rolling the dice
Hoping luck will suffice,
Until the weather is nice again.

Trying to fall asleep
is like chasing
elusive shadows
Where each breath is a
remembrance of meadows.
What must I do
to stop chasing the nights
Filled with disarrays?
Where the rooms
Are just a war zone
In a deep trench of my own.
Like an infantry soldier
fighting sandman, I surrender
Nights of quiet meadows
Where the heart is pierced by
Insomniac arrows.
In what dance must I partake
to find sleep that hides deep
Within the sleep cycle REMs?
Where each attempted cycle
Becomes a failed composition
Like writing a waltz symphony
With a broken harmony.
Must I obtain the dream
catchers to unfold the nights?
Sleep is like a fleeting flirtation
Slipping away in fractured chaos
Leaving the mind grasping for direction.

Born without sin,
I am imbued with the mask of humility.
The masks of fate,
gift me its shame and unyielding hold.
For what is man but a puppet,
Who wears masks to fulfill his own desires?
The masks of fate, forever eternal.
The silent skin that scorns our unwitting souls
