Lessons

All my life, I've been troubled, pained,
So much, that even time won't heal.
But all the life lessons that I gained
From them, no thief can ever steal.

Rejection (Haiku)

Under moonlit skies
He professed his love for her;
No happy ending.

Haiku 2.0

Words defy me now
The water is so serene
So's the setting sun.

To Love, And Be Loved

Every day I wake up,
It's to some news that says
Somewhere, to someone,
Something horrible happened.
And things keep on getting worse
Even children aren't spared the abuse.
I wonder what happened
To the good ol' days when
Watching our backs wasn't the norm.

It saddens me when I look around
And see people just not give a ****
It is morbid to note how narrow
Have people's business become
Though we live in a globalised world.
We need to revisit our consciences,
Look deep down inside and ask ourselves
Why are we here on this earth
If not to love and be loved?

On My Way

Been a while since I last saw you,
And you sweet enchanting smile,
I miss the warmth of your embrace
One for which I'd run a mile.

I so crave for the taste of your lips,
And the tenderness of your gaze;
I miss the playfulness of your words,
And even your naughty ways.

I miss the beat of your heart
As your chest rested on mine,
I miss the long evening walks
And that kiss in the rain.

There are so many things that I want to say,
I’m not beside you now, but I’m on my way.
How I’d love to make up for the times I’ve been away,
I know I’m not there yet, but I’m on my way.

Down nature's lane

The night was dimly lit,
The moon dancing with the clouds,
On the silence did nature sit,
Far from the maddening crowds.

A cool breeze stirred my hair,
Bringing the sweet smell of nature's best.
As I waltzed embracing the air,
The cuckoo kept glancing from her nest.

I listened to the ripple of a nearby spring,
And as my feet took me nearer;
In my heart was a familiar aching,
To hold on to the moment forever.

I walked through the heavenly retreat,
Time flying by like the onrushing wind.
Turning back, I seemed to miss every beat;
As I got back to a place where people sinned.

Hope

Been a tiresome day,
With a lot going wrong,
I tried to be brave,
And to not lie;
Its been rough,
But I won't give up.
I did my job,
As best as I could;
Now I fold my cards
And tuck in ,
With the hope that,
As I wake up
In the morrow
And see what's dealt,
I play my game,
As best as I could.

Doesn't rhyme too well, but I thought I'd focus on the verse on this one.
