"everglow" poems
*All the angels are asleep,
Their shadow selves on the earth open their third eyes,
In the hypnotizing light of the moon,
You must learn to tiptoe between carefully crafted lies.
And in the scarce everglow
Of informality, we sail past a once safe territory,
Trying to impose a new way of survival,
Guided by a thin rope of our frail telepathy.
On islands doomed with demons' names,
We maneuver our demeanors on the peripheries of black holes,
One slip of a condemned tongue,
Is all it shall take to elicit an inevitable fall.
Don't fall for the horizon in view,
And never concede to promises made by Time,
The angels could never wake,
And then you'd forever tiptoe in this infernal night.*

When we wake, the sunlit morning swelling before us, I will know but one thing. When the everglow of your beauty is shown into my eyes, nothing else will matter, nothing but love.

She danced on the rooftops with the moon to her back
Proud and shining on her elegant ballet
Whisps of fog entwined her shadowed figure
As she glided backwards with her final bourree, into the night
A secluded heart now followed her everglow light

From the first time I saw you,
I've been dazzled in my soul,
you brought the light of truth in my mind,
the hope of a flourishing future
and an everglow of love in my heart.
I no longer felt the sufferings of hell,
but the pleasures of the seventh sky of heaven
and I used to live finally free
from the ignorance and the foolishness of which I was sick.
Everyday is an immense pleasure to talk with you,
your voice fills my heart
and my whole soul with a pure happiness
that words can't touch
and everyday I wait for you to talk to me again,
I wait for the magpie to sing again
and every night, I sit down and I see you,
your sky, your moon, your stars
and the wind that reminds me how big are the time and the space that separate us.
And when leaves roar under your moonlight,
I start to despair, asking to myself if I will ever see you one day,
but if there is a sure thing, if there will ever be another love after this one,
the light that you left inside me will never expire.
Neither wind nor earthquakes nor eruptions will wipe away what you left me,
a dim light, but eternal, with a power that can't belong to this world,
where everything is dust,
where everything flies away,
where everything ends.
Not even when I'll die it will go away,
because love is immortal,
it unites and creates
and you're the proof of it,
everyday I think of you,
everyday I love you.

We have finally reached
A complete turnaround,
And for the last time
I was homebound.
There she was
Right at plain sight;
And like the moon,
I borrowed her light.

Christmas is over
New year has begun
Not sure I'm ready for another one
Done all the things I resolved not to do
The lights blazing down
Time just flew
The world looks newer than before
Burning bright with colors galore
Feel it turn as I go through my day
Long years behind
Short ones on the way
Lighting life with the glow from ahead
Steps have went the wrong way instead
Branch is just too high to reach
Consumed in never-ending breach
The flame marks the proper route
Spells cast make it hard to get out
When my foot bravely goes to tread
Suddenly cells are made of lead
My fire drags me the opposite direction
Everglow remains in the darkest section
Memories of long ago linger in my head
Love I lost
Can't let go of
Remains in words unsaid
When asked my resolution I always respond
"Stop saying yes to things I am of rather not fond"
Of course I never commit and fail within a week
I try nonetheless though my attempt is too weak

Magic was all that she saw
Till some extent even she was in awe
Clouds shadowed her shiny moon
But the city lights beneath her bloomed
It was the night of no star
A high time to realize she had come far
Even after getting off her comfort zone
She knew she could never feel alone
For her heart had now learnt to let go
And this darkness simply helped her glow

My reflection can be seen in the water, shimmering in your beautiful moonlight.
Calling me out of my bed to come outside.
Another night with you, the wind blew a cold gentle breeze.
You were surprised I didn't freeze.
Remember the questions I asked you before?
Some of the wounds are no longer here anymore.
Each night spent with you eased the pain.
When the sun comes out I have to endure fatigue and migraine.
I wish the Sun doesn't exist at all
Or swing it away like a baseball
I wish to have nights with you that lasts for eternity
I know that you will never leave me
During the day I missed you so bad
Longing for you to be in the night sky to shine down on me
Moonlight, moonlight don't ever go
Please stay everglow

She stared out of her window
Hoping to see his pretty face
But hiding beneath the shadows
Were empty promises and malaise
She longed for hope, for love, for him
But all she could hear in that moment
Were unanswered telephone rings
And the words in her mind, unspoken
She stared out of her window
Pages of her diary flipping with the breeze
She turned to her last words just written
Three words, eight letters, inked on paper with ease
Her love for him was like a candle in the wind
Lit by the hope of a bright tomorrow
It shone against the gentle breeze that came in unseen
Flickering in darkness, she lay on the floor wrapped in an everglow

...i love thee with a head full of dreams
...as i try to empty out the ocean with a spoon
...i love thee to the level of all i can think about is you
...where love is the only thing left that’s true
...i love thee with every teardrop that is a waterfall
...with every magic and miracles
...and with this feeling i live for, this everglow
...and as the scientist declares, nobody said it was easy
...i shall but love thee better after we face death and all his friends

It's a good day drawn on
The sunny canvas a bit
Fluffy cloud meandering
Away where cotton ball
Clouds go on a calm day
When the rain gods and thunder
Goddesses go off to
Fort Lauderdale
Or Tahiti to occasion the tropics
With storms but
Here was pleasantly warm
Enjoyable
No one needed antiperspirants
Or sweaters
And it got painted by Monet
This day did
A hundred times
All differently
A slight change of
The suns angles
The differences
In the shadows laying left or right
And how brightly stark
The sun shone early
Changed midday to
Blindingly overhead
Then reached to the edge
Of your right eye
Evening a long cast
A glimmer almost gone
Like days past.
Memories of childhood
Youth all once again.
The sun has shone
Me things
Shined for millions ages anon
Be it my
Everglow now.
Now I take her to heart.

To the girl who lit up a dark alleyway
The butterflies in my stomach won't stop
I do not know how, nor I wish to make it stop
If you're a streetlight that'll guide me
Is it rude to ask you to glow and stay longer?
We lose a part of ourselves as we go to grow
Dimly-lit path, everyone feels like a stranger
But you look familiar with that smile of yours
Suddenly, I almost thought it was a new morning
You're not a shining star watching from far away
You're a firefly, making the most of borrowed time
But don't ever stop lighting up a dark alleyway
An everglow, you are what makes it worth the time

Far beyond the sky
Up over your head
If you want to see it just tip up your head back and look up
"Stars"
Sparkles in the night dare
A virtual light
Not a false and reflected light like a "Moon"
Staring star from a distance are so heavenly
But when Stars shining too bright
Will dazzling your eyes
"Stars"
Forever you never see me
My places is too far and too dark
In the afterglow,
You will everglow for me
And maybe at this moment
You still shining in another hemisphere
For those who need your light

Hope shines bright
Vigorous orange wisps
Engulfing my sight
Eclipsing numberless edifice
I am drawn to you my light
Bathing my presence with your warmth
glow tonight
The setting of the sun
Marks the most beautiful part of day
A mellow everglow
Prismatic flowers enwreathing
my heart with snug
The setting of the sun
Marks the Remains of the Day
Not one of solemn rainy mist
But one of graceful frosted tint
Showing me strength that lies within
A time of day
Not too late nor too early
For a Butler's life a sight to marry
It fills his heart with love,
old but gold
passion untold.
I hope you're feeling better now
Illusory hope that never burns
cold
as days go
dreary, colourless.
Till whens't his love will be expressed
Will let his days no more repressed
Warmth glow of evening light
Fuel him with hope
to drive and fight
To see the same sight
My evening light.

An ocean of pink and white
Waves are her petal bed
A sprinkle of beauty
A gossamer spread
Untrammelled they fall
Down to kiss the ground
Refinery"s best in show
Flutterdown everglow
Not by fluke was fondness captured
Lying luckily , eyes raptured
Twas here not by chance
Basking in her Flamboyance
thank you

and it’s one thing to make you happy,
that half moon beam lingering on your face
efficiently magnifying its glory, an everglow
being the one to put it across
equals to an entirely different whole,
almost like a completely new entity
being able to do so is the feeling that’s left in your system
once the adrenaline wears off as you unwind after a very long day
that’s satisfying to your senses and your expectations somehow fulfilled
it’s like getting something you’ve crossed your fingers countless times in a row for
something you’ve wished for on fallen lashes
and every red car passing by as you wait for the bus
gradually, it defies the definition of precious
a reminder of why the color yellow is associated with happiness,
able to eradicate the dark clouds
surrounding the pitch black sky on your face,
streaks of sunshine hiding underneath
leaving a profound feeling of greatness
it’s seeing something priceless and being willing to do anything
to get views of it again and again
maybe i’ve developed a strong liking for your presence
and you
and your thoughts
your words
your perception
unconsciously it seems, you’re trailing my emotions along with you,
in the paths you take;
but i really don’t mind
and as long as you are, as long as you’re there
i’d keep betting on tossed coins and the vastness of uncertainty
to make you happy, to see you smile as many times as i could
lingering with the distant thoughts that maybe
i could be the reason behind those smiles
for you’re certainly the cause of this unfamiliar euphoria residing underneath my skin
-maybe these painted, unmasked smiles on your face could suffice for the unspoken
