Hidden words,
Buried within.
Unseen feelings,
Blindfolded by circumstances.
I'm captivated by your eyes,
Now you got me held hostage.
Beauty is what you define,
And anyone would cosign.
I got you on my mind like tunnel vision,
No one else in sight like my peripherals are gone.
I'm blindsided now,
Everything else is out of focus.
Just you on my mind frame,
No words can be found to explain,
But I know that this picture is worth more a thousand words.

They say the realest things are felt, not seen; so that's why I chose to title it "Blind Words."

Pangea's Notion (Haiku Set 1 of 5)

Pangea's Notion (Haiku Set 1 of 5)

Nature

Natural elements,
Are god's lessons to explore,
Seek and you will find.

I decide to name this set of Haikus "Pangea's Notion" because I could not think of any bigger recollection than the super continental itself, and it captures it perfectly with notion; which is a good way alternative to express it as a philosophy without using the word philosophy. It's uniquely different so that's my thought.

Pangea's Notion pt 2 of 5

Air

Can't see but exists,
Faith is always there, have hope,
Then you'll find answers.

This is my first attempt in Haiku, I wanted to venture out of free verse.

Pangea's Notion pt 3 of 5

Earth

A good foundation,
Is where morals are grounded,
Deep roots stand taller.

It was a bit more difficult following the schematics of keeping it 5,7,5

Pangea's Notion pt 4 of 5

Water

Hidden ambition,
Like ever-flowing water,
Will flood or channel.

Too much of ambition leads to greed, just enough creates motivation.

Fire

Unwavering love,
Like a flame on a candle,
Needs to be relit.

I ended it with fire because relit is a good way to start over again; which I hope will start the cycle of rereading the poems again.

Perfect Stranger

Perfect Stranger

I see you everyday,
Never had anything to say.
But thoughts of you flood my mind,
As my dreams dive into you,
All I can do is drown without an utter of a word.
But in silence my eyes speaks,
And you can see my intentions.
I know I don't know you,
But I know I won't make you cry.
Don't even know your name,
But let's leave it a mystery.
What we don't know will be a luxury.
That way everyday we can explore.
That way I can be your perfect stranger.

There's always an excitement of the new feeling of the exploring the unknown. Hence I chose perfect stranger as the title.
