~~
behind the shadow a distinct lost dream  
standing opposite of a long bridge
crossing through the middle cutoff
see the river flowing beneath

illusive calling but can't go
on the edge a dark sharp sign  
known voices floating over
echoing an ego which cover the shadow

how many days offset!
and try to touch the last sunset
still silhouette stands on the shore
what is mystic that always opens the door

the river bumping with waves
between the broken parts of the bridge
passing a phase of life on the ridge
yet subconscious grew a cohesion of dream

How astounding would it be
If there were infinite copies of me?
In one universe I’d be a loquacious politician,
While in another, a reclusive mathematician.
So many possibilities, so many paths to take;
One decision can alter the course of my fate.

Have you ever wondered how life would’ve changed
If you hadn’t overslept and had your day rearranged?
Or that time when you had the choice to make that trip
But opted not because your grandmother was sick?
Would you have met the love of your life?
Or be mauled by a bear during your hike?
You could’ve been inspired to pursue another career…
How baffling that a single choice has the power to steer
Your life in distinct directions,
Making more and more connections.

A network of probability with no limitations, with no bounds --
It’s a mystery of how that choice could’ve turned your life around.  
Could’ve, would’ve, should’ve are merely illusions,
Seize the day, or you’ll be caught up in delusions.
Maybe it’s consoling to believe
That another you had the courage to dream.  

But surely it doesn’t have to be that way.
This reality is yours to form, where only you have a say.

After a period of time, now it's time that everything will change
Something better will happen
Efforts were made since the past
Definitely a positive change will get reflected in the present
It takes time for things to change and to improve
Still the time consuming process is worth waiting for.

See to it that everything happens as per what was thought, planned and decided
If something is missing, search for the missing aspect
Once decided and planned
Each and everything must then move accordingly
Definitely search for something, which you think you have lost
Search for a moment or two from the past, which you feel you have lost.

Justified are the ways of living a life when everything looks bright and shinning from outside
In the present it’s love
In past it was struggle
After all its life
Reciprocate to the changes that take place in the present with regards to what else can be done in the future
Accept the change that took place in present
Now ascertain the future.

In the past things were different
At present they are still lot different
No one knows how everything will shape in the future.

Risk is a part of the game
It’s not a question of whether you take it or not
If you take it and prove yourself
You win the game
If you don’t and lose the game
It’s entirely your fault
Irrespective of your decision as to whether or not you take a risk, risk has always remained part of the game
Whether you take it or not, it’s all up to you.

Feel the heat of the moment
Feel the pulse
Get a sense of feeling with regards to the threshold moments.
Discover a few things from past
Search for the lost moments from past.

Sometimes it rains
Sometimes it settles
Sometimes there is a bit of sunshine and then you come across a rainbow
That’s what most of the time life is all about, which constitutes of so many different aspects put together at the same point in time.
When you deeply become aware of the passage of time, realize deeply, somewhere along the line of action, it's the present moment of time that's all what you have got along with you. Always.

Desire blows in like a warm southern breeze
Waves submerge us into seducing seas
Fill me up with your words
Now paint them on my skin
with your tongue
Teasing me while you glide and savor
Tasting my love of the sweetest of flavor
Touch me with your eyes
Wrap me up with your smile
Crave me with your fingers
Call me your symphony
Make my nerve endings sing
Each bite tinged with pleasurable stings
Soft sighs
Turn into soft cries
Passion heat calling out your name
Passion only will douse the flame
With no fear or no regret
A moment of passion we will never forget

These are the thoughts that swirl in our mind
These thoughts to which we sit to dine
We eat our words
Or folly our forlorn
Our passive aggressive nature's
Those we lament
We wail and we scream
With our pen and paper

We love unconditionally
But expect nothing in return
at least that's what we tell ourselves
For ours is a heartache like no other
One that can only be expressed by our pens and papers
Our blood ink that never runs dry
Like the tears that we know fall from our skies

The skies that are blue for everyone else
To us they are cold and dark cloudedness        
These skies which hold the stars
To us the stars are but a curse, the moon pregnant with our hopes and dreams lost
never to be birthed

Instead we labor in our hands and mind
Pushing out these thoughts of ours
Hoping we birth something beautiful between these lines
Rambling thoughts....
I wonder when these feelings will fade.

i started on digging up myself when I'm drown with the flawless mistakes. Visualized the momentum where it all came from. Just like anyone I started on my own feet to start refreshing my mind as I am writing on poems that not to flattered you but to record all the stuff that I am missing out. Some is not shaded nor clear but I do it on my own style from what my heart follows and from what my hands would do it to me. It is part of a reflection to myself, people around me or from what I've seen and from what that insticts that have put me on the spot. But sometimes it's all about those people I've like/love, those people that help me get through all of this. And I am also in the process of still getting out from my shelter. Need of time and in the processing of healing and finding out the things that I am going to look forward and be as an excited just like before. I really hope I would fix and do this time again cause I know it's not too late and I don't want to regret over again. I really hope so.  I can do it!!!!
just this and that...

It's not what the book describes
That winged human-like flying above the sky playing a harp
That silvery immortal being shining so bright
That hero protecting you from any evil situations and suddenly show up to save you wherever part on earth you are
Or... or that angelic face that by looking, makes you feel heaven is so near
Cause literally I've never seen one that'll make me believe that heaven is for real.

No, I've never seen one, none when I was in the hospital twice
None even when my brother died
That angel the book describes never appeared to say I'll be fine
That angel I hope to show up in front of me and literally sing an angelic song and make the whole scene bright
Literally I've never seen one, none in those darkest days of mine
Nothing like the book says come.

But I've known Angels! They save me million times, a miracle in disguise!
Angels that are not human-like but humans like me, breathing and living
Though they can’t fly, they always come and sing with me to brighten those darkest days of mine
Angels that somebody God delivers when I'm in trouble with myself, trouble finding my way
Strangers I've met in those moments whose voice were so angelic that I can't refuse to listen, that everything they might say will matter
And likewise Angels that are burning in space twinkling shining so bright that by staring, makes me dream and smile in those lonely nights of mine.

An Angel could be that anyone or anything that touches our hearts in those moments we need most
An Angel is a family, a friend, a stranger, could be a star for what I believe!, or anyone, anything that'll make you feel that life is worth living
An Angel is the one that inspires us to do something good and to be good for the people we care, who care for us, or just for all the people
An Angel is the one that saves us in those desperate  moments, held us and whispers to keep on going despite the pain this world brings, we’ll be fine
An Angel is the one that helps us find our way in those strangest places we’ve been and makes us believe that there's a dreamland waiting to be our sweetest home
An Angel is the one that shows kindness, and make you feel that heaven is for real.

"An Angel is a Miracle, or... that Miracle is An Angel".

Good job we never know
it's said

About the times
that lay ahead

Can we trust
what we feel

Do we know
this is real

Can it be
for the best

Do we care
about the rest

Think as you
thinking fast

Time will tell
will it last

Do we follow
head or heart

Can we bear
now to part

Are we selfish
are we blind

Would we be foolish now this far
to leave it all

Leave it all
behind

The irony of it all.
She'd been having an affair for months
Kept it so discreet
Then she found out he'd been having an affair for years
How ironic was that.
