The only way to deal
With envy turning
Everything in its
Sight to shades of
Green, is to pierce
Through the deceipt
Of it, and to run
From it as fast
As you possibly can
So you may walk
In truth
Category poetry
Hands of Time
Time is fleeting
Hours are passing
Days are ticking by
Skin is ageing
Eyes are straining
Life is passing by
Heart is beating
Emotions feeling
Until the hands
Stand still
Drops of Rain
How I ache to see the sun
To live my life without a fear
So rain drops keep on falling
Allow the clouds to cry
Their one last tear
In response to Daily Prompt: Drop
Shelter from the Rain
Bad news happened
No words to comfort
No songs of joy to sing
Only a storm that began
To fall its raindrop tears –
I pray for shelter from all pain
But if I am caught unsheltered in the rain
Please, dear Lord, shelter me under your wing
Beauteous
Wild dark storm
Raging with all its might
Beauteous in its power –
If only we could see
Memories
Memories in my mind
Question their being
Beg me to share
The brief moment
They were
Briefly and fleeting
Created with care
And lasted but
A few blinks only
Of the eternal prayer
Standing Still
We started a game
It is not yet done
The pieces stand still
Nowhere to run
Awaiting your move
What will you do next?
I gather my strength
Deny your request
Take one step away
The game incomplete
Surrender my queen
Admit my defeat
Famous Last Words
Please don’t hurt me, I cried
I don’t want to be hurt
It’s not my style, you replied
Turbulence
Turbulence
Takes the calm
Shakes up what used to be
Like a whirlwind whirling
It’s way through the
World
And produces a new
Way of being:
What was is no more
And what is was never before
Black and White
Sketching you
In black and white
Drawing you
With darkened stroke
Preserving every
Memory
Until one day
One day you may
Return to me
I will wait forever
Forever for you
To add your color –
Breathe your life into
My black and white
