"manauwer" poems
Identity is not what I promise others
Identity is what I do when I am alone...
Identity is what I think of others
Knowing all the savor they've shown...
Identity is what every wound reminds me
Identity is what I learn and what I pass by...
Identity is what I see in the mirror
It is what make me feel try...
Identity is what I make out of my given chance
Identity is what I accept and what I deny...
No one else has control over me
Life is about me, and what I identify...

now see, once again I write to you
the sun wasn't shining and the sky wasn't blue...
I met you on the route and feel you shrug
carelessly I handshake where I had to hug...
and walked beside you till you were fine
and all this time, the happiness was all mine...
and the next I did was to sit where you sit
what do you know, intentionally I came close a bit...
and all I did was to sit beside you and think
with you in my head, only about you without a blink...
the day passed and the evening yearn
from all that happened I wish I could learn...
that life isn't always what you desire
it leaves you lost in flames of fire...
you see your day and see it through
knowing what I am writing is all so true...
you ignore the meaning of all of this
thinking I am being childish...
but it is you who wished that way
I’ll grow a ten years late, that’s what you'd say...
I’ve tried to ignore I’ve tried to forget
but all I see is the first time we met...
I don't know why this happened to me
may be its a dream, so pinch me and see...
then when I said, the difference in imagination and reality
you wished I make it real, do what was right in all its vanity...
and I put my arms around you and feel
you made it so easy I needed not to kneel...
you picked me fine and we ended up holding hands
the warmth I felt was beyond all stands...
you rubbed them for me thinking it were numb
I was so happy and I knew you'd do so if I kept dumb...
the journey neared its end in a closing chapter
I wasn't ready leaving you and now I wonder...
all I want is for you to reflect on
whether I lie or is this for fun...
hopefully you will find the answer in no
that for me this isn't a show...
I never will forget the moments we had
after leaving you I really was sad...

A new friend, I have found in her
In her, I did confide...
And it was from her eyes
Which I tried so hard to hide...
To me, she seemed so special
Almost too good to be true...
And when I told myself
I admitted that all my senses knew...
I knew that she was special,
I knew just how I'd feel...
I knew I wished to talk her
And I wished my pain would heal...
That simple wish came so true
It became unprecedented reality...
But, since she was so special
What could she have ever seen in me?
She started such a beautiful serene
And in friends I tried to write her name...
Whether she meant to or not
She was in her efforts healing all the pain...
All the pain that I had felt
Over these past two year...
Began to disappear slowly,
Simply because she was near...
When she was near I couldn't help
But have a smile on my face...
To me this was all new,
She took me to a special place...
A place where I was happy
I haven't been that for a while...
So I spread my empty happiness
And let through an embarrassed smile...
So, to my spirits I speak and say
If I wish to return to that special place...
I just figured that now I know
That you my friend, I've to chase...

Alone with my thoughts
Alone in my dreams
Alone in the night
Alone with my screams
Alone in that place
Between sleep and awake
I lay here alone
And wait for the daybreak
Alone in my room
Alone in my bed
But ‘m not alone in my heart
Where the tears for you are shed
For your love will always be in my heart
And your sensation near
Rest at peace wherever you are
For we will sure meet not today but in years

as fragile as a butterfly wing
as swiftly blown away
my memories take flight at times
sail to some distant bay
yet, now and then they gently light
within my broken head
and with a dust-covered fluttering
they bring me peace, instead
sweet memories and sense of joy
and sorrow or of unhappiness
of all thoughts and colorful wisdom
flutter my butterfly in oneness
and in a moment they're here
and the next, then they're gone again
so if my mind seems so far away
while yours is focused on me, its all in vain
don't make it a moment that spoils your whole day
let it go, set your butterflies free and howl
for I remember Love, Passion and Relish
and it may feed and fuel my breached soul
I feel it in a smiling face, not to lie, in you
a hand in mine sweetness, showing me the way
a caring word, a warm embrace, a touch of happiness
these are the memories of each new day
and even if that memory, should simply flutter by
I'll catch it, maybe, later, talk to it and say
when it comes by you my Butterfly
I so much miss you, and I don't want you to go away
Love has many faces, Love is many things
I am not asking you to keep me as beloved as your love
but help me find the beautiful wings, make me alive
find me the colors of life, the gloss of my throve
and when you see me crying, my butterfly
why don't you come to me, hide me in your wings
say me in my eyes, you are not alone and wipe my tears
hold me close to you and whisper many a things
but instead, you fly away and see me lament
you know, I am not alright, I am so lost in my shell
I always have so much to speak in grief
and you have so many honest things to tell
I wonder my butterfly, if you feel the same
to hold you, caress you and make you feel ease
let you out in the world, help you see the flowers
collect the nectars and with breeze run with the bees

Never was a thread
so bold and so strong
to let the truth behold
of what is right and wrong
A thread proof of her love and affection
a thread of purest heart to heart connection
it’s a memento of love and of treasure
it is the best of life and reverberation
Of everything beyond this bond is bilk
cause it’s not just a thread of silk
A redeem satisfaction
of having you as the one
a sis, I have which you are
a relationship that has begun
I vow to protect
and love you like the toy
and everything but satisfaction
which yield every joy
'm grateful and 'm overwhelmed
for the caress you shower
a delightful feeling when you're close
the fragrance, the blossoms of the blooming flower
For you're and yes you're the best thing
that ever happened to me
I promise, we'll stay and flourish
as the best friends we'll always be
For you're my sister, my friend and my Ilk
so mind it it’s not just a thread of silk

What you mean to me,
Is more than I can express…
You see, I had no sister when I was little
To call when I was in distress...
When we first met,
I had no clue…
What was getting ready to happen,
Was not completely out of the blue...
God had a plan,
Through out all the years…
He was making us for each other,
To share life's smiles and tears…
I never could have imagined,
What a sister's love was about…
Until I met you,
And then I really found out…
A sister's love is unconditional,
It's a love that has no end…
A sister's love wants the best for each other,
It's a love that will always defend…
Sometimes we may get mad,
Or we may begin to fight…
But that's the fun part about having a sister,
We both my think we're always right…
I'm so glad that I did not have,
A sister in the past…
It's made me much more thankful,
For the sister I have at last...

To my loving angel this is all
That I can say
Every day I think of you
Every day I pray
I pray that you are well
I pray that you are okay
I wish you were here
I miss you every day
I never knew you my loving angel
You left so long ago
Your death is the saddest
But I will always love you so
I know that you are fine
I know that you are well
You always will live in my heart
You will never be apart
I love you my lovely angel
If heaven wasn’t so far
I’d hold you in my arms
And shear you with my love
To my loving angel this is all
That I can say
I love you as I do
I miss you everyday…

i witnessed her
before the wind
and felt her
with the grassws
on her kness
disappearing
into the mystics
i believe
i see myself cry
look at the sea
and into the sky
as she just
stupefy
into the mystic
and when the
rain pours down
i want to
come in home
and when the
pain bring on
i want to
heal within
i don't want to
bear it now
wake back in
the slumbers
when she go away
hiding herself
into the mystic
wilting flowers
withering leaves
dew on the silk
with floating breeze
ah! why she always
have to vanish
into the mystic

she has already begun to like you
the likes of which you can’t get through…
for she can fake it and then just hide
a false gleam of appearance with an elusive pride…
only except she is not ready to say so
for her ways are treacherous, she let them flow…
and its just a prelude to a secret love
a hidden unending feeling of treasured trove…
and then she uses the weapon of devastation
eyes laden with shine and burning sensation…
making even the most powerful men defenseless
men who just laments for and become helpless…
their beauty is something which makes battles aught
even a great hero will fall to lapses in the distraught…
for when THE WOMAN throws her smile at you
you must understand SHE IS THAT INTO YOU…

I have heard people grumble
“I wish I had a sister so humble”
With whom I could share everything
My shoes, my clothes and my earning
A sister who would help me during my projects
A sister whom I would always need for consent
A sister who could fight with me endlessly
Yet who would help me selflessly
A sister with whom I would share all my thoughts
Without thinking I should tell her or not
A sister who would help sharing my chores
A sister who would sometimes act too stubborn
A sister whom I would boss over
A sister who would understand my every fear
A sister who would want me to shop
And when I tease her she begin to hop
Love you dear sister for always being there
I promise for you I'll always be there

You were the one I was trying to know throughout these years
together sharing each other’s dreams, the hopes and the fears…
You were the precious one that could have only come from above
the more that I know you now the more I ask, was this God’s sign of love…
Grand feelings never gone from my heart and not far from my mind
in this journey a path awaits me, apart and I must find…
To my joy I heard that lovely voice and saw your lovely face
I don’t feel a moment has passed since I left that beautiful place…
That feeling of peace and warmth when you were near, truly seconds to none
the one that I knew and the one who knew me, you were the one…
The days were fun when my heart beat fast at the mention of your name
oh! That part of my life, something different, but now our paths are not the same…
The fate again would never bring us together once more
and my heart has changed with feelings, I have not felt before…
I close my eyes and see that perfection in your smile
your presence, your smile, a love not felt in a long while…
Our hearts were forever entwined; the truth has always been there
the love, the heat, the passion as we became one without care…
My heart was yours and I happily gave it to you, without blame
but once again from apart, our paths are now not the same…
I carry you silently in my soul and our love strong and true
no one before has possessed my heart such as you…
All since which has passed in the radiance of your eyes
and I promise, none other will have my heart no matter how she tries…
I pray for that wonderful day when our time finally arrives
our day to dance, our day to love, and our day to truly share our lives…
Our heart would join as one, a union that will sure eternity last
to meet, a day to declare to all our silence a thing of the past…
To proclaim daily this tribute of love that shall end never…
You are my best friend, the love of my life now, then and forever…

just be here, my sweetness
don't let me go off you
for the angels can wait for a moment
and they all know how all it was true
as you come real close
and make me forget the world pry
let me feel this time we're alone
and it's finally you and I
it wasn't meant to feel like this
not unless without you
cause when I look at my life
I couldn't imagine it without getting blue
and how the pieces fall into place
it just wouldn't rhyme without you
walking along with you when I see how my path
seem to end up before your face
a hand tied to mine all this time
why didn't it happen in the very first place
the state of my heart
the place where we are
apart yet near, being a part of you
so close but yet so far
so don't be afraid
I'll and 'm right by your side
through all the laughter and all pain
together we're bound to fly
I wasn't meant to love like this
not unless without you
I made it so very late
and I am sorry, sometimes I do
been through a lot of heartache
but I made it and finally found you

people see what's in front of them
but, not all see the same...
all I know is when I see her face
sometimes I can't remember my name...
I find it hard not to stare at her
sweet smile and eyes beautifully true...
I could look at her all day
she once told me that sometimes I do...
the physical part of her beauty
the half you see is one part...
the other half is the greatest
that is the beauty within her heart...
the fascination she gives, without question
is the best gift she could ever bestow...
covered in divine, all white and blue
she's the most beautiful woman I know...
even if she doesn't agree with it
to me, she is wonderful and giving...
and I know deep in my heart
she is the one seraphic angel living...

It was hard to tell you the truth I hid
But now I’ll not regret that I ever did…
There's nothing wrong that I won't hide or say
I’m glad I get to see you from day to day...
It would hurt to have to see you alone
Now the feelings for me you have shown…
I’ll never leave your side when you are down
Because I never want to have to see you frown...
I'm here for you whenever you are in need
Through life you made me want to proceed…
I just really want you to see
It’s with you I always want to be....

Well, I was kind of thinking about THE WOMAN again and suddenly it hit my mind that what if, she admires you secretly, she loves you but you never understand her enigma and she will never says so…
what if SHE IS THAT INTO YOU….
she has already begun to like you
the likes of which you can’t get through…
for she can fake it and then just hide
a false gleam of appearance with an elusive pride…
only except she is not ready to say so

and everyone who sees her, wants her...
to be with her, to feel her...
to cherish her, to love her...
and if not the least, a part of her...
yes, everyone who sees her, wants her...
undoubtedly, she is gifted...
gifted with the best, that words can't explain...
simplicity, beauteous, angelic,
everything, that makes her beautiful...
those eyes, those smiles, the way she shies, everything...
and i am no different, i want her too...
but this want is different,
there is no lust, in it...
its just a simple wish, to be with...
with a friend, because, she is,
a friend, a good one, i had...
and time and passed again...
someday when it will all fade...
the wish, the wants, would die,
but i will still hold it together...
for she, will still be my friend,
i promised, i would never forget...

I felt you,
close enough me...
to make me comfort,
from the warmth of your love...
and when it rained,
I felt you,
deep within me...
to make me live,
with the best of dreams...
And when it rained,
i felt you,
cuddling my buoyant nature,
and caressing it,
with the magic of your smile...
and when it rained,
i felt you,
right beside me,
every time, everywhere,
all the very while...

It's not about forgetting her,
Or hating her,
Ignoring her,
It's not about not wanting her...
It's not about being rude,
To her or about her,
It's about finding to accept,
That she's not yours...
It's not about the lying,
The crying,
The betrayal,
It's not about your little broken soul...
It's not about how many girls,
You go through to get over her,
Or how it "doesn't matter" 'cause,
They're "just not her"...
It's about accepting that,
It's always going to hurt,
She's never coming back,
And being okay with that...
You learn to be okay with,
Feeling breathless when she talks,
Even though you know,
You've no right to say so...
You learn to be okay with,
Her not sparing a second glance,
Because that way she cannot tell,
How your heart is pounding fast...
You learn to be okay with,
Wanting but not getting,
And hating every soul,
That she allows touching her...
It's not about not wanting her,
Or your broken little soul,
It's all about accepting that,
She's never going to be yours...

in the quiet time of evening
when the stars assume their patterns
and the day has made its journey
and we wondered what just happened
to the life we knew
before the world changed
when not a thing i had
was true
but you were kind to me
and you reminded me
that whatsoever its bound to change
there are other things that matter
and what is simple needs protecting
or my illusions all would shatter
but you stayed
in my corner
the only world i know was upside-down
and so were yours
but you stayed
and now the world and me
we know you carry me
'm not as good as i thought i was
'm not the boy i used to be because
you show me something different
you show me something pure
i always seemed so certain
but i was really never sure
but you stayed
and you called me again my name
where did i hide it all these time
when others did walk away on me
but you made me look through
and you stayed
but you stayed

you're the thought that starts each
morning,
the conclusion to each day...
I envision you in all that I do,
and everything I say...
you're the smile on my face,
the sparkle in my eye that strife...
the warmth inside my heart,
the fullness in my life...
the only hand that's laced to mine,
the shroud upon my back...
my friend and company you have that soul,
I will never turn your trust back...
you're the lines in my psalm,
the constant tingle in my soul and psyche...
the voice that makes me weak,
you're the serene, my pleasure my hike...
you're all that now I want,
all that I need and of yours I be...
you're all I dream of,
you mean so much to me...

I dreamed a dream of You
Yesterday I dreamed a dream,
that had no end.
You in your white gown, and long, black hair flowing.
You were calling my name.
I heard you, but I couldn't reach you!
And when I say your soul was tainted.
You went out in the night life.
You dressed in your black, evening ball gown.
You danced till the Red Sun came out, over the horizon.
You smiled at me.
A flame in my heart burned red hot!
My knees and hands shook with nerves;
Nerves of love and joy.
I blew you a kiss,
but you turned away!
Oh, please don't turn away from me,
for I would die, if it happened again!
Your beautiful and golden heart showed me the truth.
The truth that every gentleman wants to hear.
I've seen you walk the streets,
in the blue dawn of August.
As I followed you, you stopped and looked at me.
You smiled so beautifully, and my heart fluttered into oblivion!
You walked with your friends and I went my way.
I couldn't find a single trace of you that day.
I cried out "Why did I leave her like this?!"
I looked for you, all over the courtyards and town squares!
Yet no sight of your beauty…
No sight of your golden heart, that I hold so dear to mine.
Where did you go?
Why did you leave?
Why did I leave... that is the question!
I should have stayed by your side,
till the ends of time.
Yet I had left.
Why...?
One gloomy and parish midnight.
I came along a road,
and soon found myself in front of a wayward cafe.
Smiling faces all around me.
I spotted a beautiful face that outstood all the other faces around me.
It was yours.
Your face brought me to sanity and I went over too you!
You spotted me and tried to run!
I caught you in the ***** hallway and pulled you in.
Our eyes met and I fell in love once again.
Sanity re-entered my mind, body and soul.
I kissed you and you kissed back.
You held my hand, and we left the cafe and walked down the street.
The street was gloomy, yet we together brightened the dark street.
We went back to the lit up city streets, of the lands filled with smiling faces,
and we fell in love and slept together.
You lay there in my restless arms and I gave you a sweet kiss,
upon your sweet and soft head.
Your dark hair was sweet smelling and felt of silk.
I closed my eyes and fell asleep with you,
there in my arms and we dreamed together
till the morning came and woke me up,
and took you away from my weak and weary arms.
I dreamed a dream of you.

Often while sleeping people fear the dark. They go into a sudden commotion whenever they hear some noise. Unexpected, though it is true to believe, that NIGHTMARE are and they still perceive…
So, I gave few words to the same feelings that people feel to this poem of mine…
I LIE IN MY BED AND THE WORLD ASLEEP
PEOPLE AT REST AND DREAMING DEEP
SHADOWS FLICKERING ACROSS MY WALL
WHILE CREAKING FOOTSTEPS COME DOWN THE HALL
THE WIND HOWLING IN THE TREES
MY POUNDING HEART BEGINS TO FREEZE
THE OPENING CLOSET LETS OUT A MOAN
A SOUND THAT CHILLS ME TO A NERVOUS BREAKDOWN
THE BARKING DOG AND A GRUNTING SWINE
A CHILL OF FEAR GOING DOWN MY SPINE
THE WORKED IS DARK TONIGHT MY FRIEND
ITS ALL ABOUT NIGHTMARES THAT WILL NEVER END…

you are gone...
'm barely strong...
not with you by my side anymore...
the world's so unpleasant...
everything is so wrong...
and i wish not now...
to open up my brown eyes...
and see trees...
to loosen my soul now...
and feel the breeze...
i no longer care...
if birds sing within them...
i no longer care...
if the rain makes them grow...
i no longer care...
if people laugh in the pleasant night...
i no longer care...
if they make the lights glow...
i no longer care...
if the world is round and stars above the trove...
i no longer care...
if they glisten and dance with one another in a show...
for you are lost...
from this world in a secret spot...
when my blue eyes open...
and right beside me sees you not...
i am lost in this world...
certainly my heart breaks...
and i miss you a lot...
for my love is gone...
my heart, my soul, my energy...
and 'm not what I should be...
'm just a griever singing...
your loss in the elegy...
never does it feel any right now...
never does it feel so glee...
the world is the same...
but to you, my love...
i always want to flee..
and remains of you...
is the love that remains the same...
and with craving in my tears...
engraved is the name...
but waiting so i am...
to die, and reach your realm...
but in HIS hand's are we...
just the pawn...
so, wait that i do...
to meet you again...
but for now, you are gone...
you are gone…

i know, what it feels like...
but not sure, if you feel it too...
knowing you were somewhere very close...
but yet so away, i couldn't get through...
a moment of happiness wondering if...
we're destined to walk together...
yet, we never did, not in the stars...
not in the moonlit sky, not in the cold weather...
just to see you smile and spend a few solitary moments with you...
walking hand in hand, strolling, keeping you close to me, thats what i wanted...
But nay, this bubble, was just made of expressions...
emotions, feelings, sensations, all but was wrongly chanted...
to feel my butterfly fly, was all i ever wanted...
to rest on her breath as she would pass by me and just linger smile clad...
But the teddy bear hugs were all but a myth, a moment never to come true...
a dream, a boy's dream i never had :'(
