Blazing red stoplights
Cool winds blowing everywhere

Indigo
Sail
There was once a mermaid who lost her tail
Wandering heartily, oblivious of her trail
Unexpected fate
Dearth of hate
Love has created havoc in your unguarded sail

Dwelling Place
Gold and teal columns
Beige aura of safeguard
from doubts and shouts ©
Morning buzz
Soft buzzing of bees
Around the flowers of trees
Nature’s alarm clock ©
Glowing Soul
Locked in a scarred façade
painted with tears, regrets and fears
tortured by the privileged and adorned
embraced by the scarce fortunes
A slivered doll who owns an enormous soul
hidden under the ugliness of the world
always willing to explore beyond boundaries
and trek to descry the undiscovered paths ©
Gate
A rusty dead end gate
surrounded by thick bushes with thorns
magically opened for the forlorn
uncountable years surpassing fate ©
Contrast
Undeveloped shield from cyclones and waves
Matched by a gold armor found in caves
Unlit flame
Beneath thy shame
Relentless courage ascends from the graves ©
Prelude
Subdued
Plainspoken remarks
Stolen glances from far cry
Subdued emotions ©
Mermaid
There was a sea, that I have loved
I used to taste its saltiness;
see its invincible waves;
and feel its fascinating fullness.
One scalding afternoon at the the shore,
I felt somebody staring at me from afar,
I thought it was some kind of menace
but to my surprise, what I saw is her face.
Long jet black hair, and the bluest scales
Her voice, was a thousand times better
than any other harmonies I’ve heard
Her presence is the greatest gift to my soul
But then even angels couldn’t escape death
the sea whispers promises to me
I’ve been trapped here for all of my life
Waiting for your comeback, my dear. ©
