I Seek Sound

Let me hear that sound

Soundness of health

With a heart that beats with love

For life

With life

That doesn’t wear midway.

Grant me the soundness of mind

Confoundment free

With all wit there is

With deft

To glide all way through.

I seek a sound soul

With self to be at peace

To always feel

And enjoy the breeze

And the clouds to see

From whence all come from.

Though I seek not

To align Your will to mine

But

That you harmonize mine to Yours

And let me accept it.

ThrowBack

When I look back
I smirk
At how much I put on the rack
Imitations of stuff I had to
pack
My stay home when mates were in the parks
And silence I shared when friends were back.

I smirk
At how my folks toiled their backs
Everything they ever had racked
To ensure my future never suck
And my studies not again in the dark.
Sometimes when I look back
I want to throw up.
But I can't throw up
After all they gave up
So that they can see me on my way up
And I'll ever ever walk with my head up
Until who is Up
Says my time's up.
When I look back
I'll smirk
But I'll never throw up
I'll never give up
I'll ever toughen up.

Purity

Watching you
Dexterously moving
Each step clutching
Acceptably onto the earth
Chin held high
Beautiful harmonious voice
Deeply intellectually engaged
Saccharine contagious laughter
No small talk
True gift to nature
Truly gifted by nature
Purity!

The long spongy fuchsia hair
Pouring freely onto your
shoulders
Canvasing your gold-bearing complexion
Glowing from the shining sun
Radiating your beauty
By each striking ray
Purity!

Marking your territory
With your hourly-glassed shadow
With your cologne
Leaving the air redolent
Rich scent
Breathtaking
All breath in
All breath held
Deep
Purity!

Notice the favourable winds
Only blowing your way
With Purity
Approving your beauty
Gently caressing,
Intimate
Through your mane
A conspiracy of nature-
Perfect strength of breeze,
Air so clean,
Grass so green,
Fit so jean,
Heart's only scene,
Prettiest smile I've seen,
Truly yo queen,
Purity!

Please Reply..

I’ve had this feeling

One too many times

Always feeling alone

On the other end of the tug

Of a war am willing toil

And a company I die to tag

Longing with a deep heart

For you alone I desire

My eyes staring blankly

To the echoes of my vacant heart

Filled with this emptiness

Of your banging discordant silence

Someone please tell him

I have seen the blue ticks

With bundles of hope online

I hope to catch his eye

For an ever lasting scene

As with a vague reply

Will assure me a chance

And dry my soaking eyes

Please say something

My eyes are wetting

My eyes are waiting.

My Fast Lady

I long yet for another tryst

Not wanting to give up and ready for every twist

Hoping this time round we shall be lost together

Basking, snuggled, spread under the beauty of the sky

Wide open blue or pitch dark with starred holes.

I know this may not be the right time

Maybe we should allow first some things to rhyme

But has there ever been a right place and time for anything?

Trying both to be myself and not losing you

I long yet for another tryst.

I always want to be in charge

Then enclosed in frisson wary of moving in surge

Opting instead to approaching gingerly

But in your eyes you want me to be reckless

I know this may not be the right time.

I strongly hold deep down, this feeling is mutual

Though with silence all may be neutral

The moment seem auspicious to break the ice

Because I don’t believe we met just to leave in silence

I always want to be in charge.

I know others have tried but haven’t last long

And you are hoping I sing just one line of the song

As we both understand the absurdity of our love

That cannot be reified in only a few lines and quotes

I strongly hold deep down, this feeling is mutual.

I can’t help waiting sharing that spark

With deep and long intercourses of intellect we’ll spike

Molten repartees and affinity that will never abridge

A rarity that doesn’t usually accompany your beauty

I know others have tried but haven’t last long.

With the speed of a bullet my lady shifted

Whilst all I believed for me she was sifted

What bounteous wisdom that springs freely and promptly of her

Which deprives the perfect replies that only come when she's gone

I can’t help waiting sharing that spark.

As the chemistry builds our time is short

It moves so fast I feel like I’m shot

My heart growing weary, an augury that we wouldn’t catch up

Silencing my love with purity of sadness

With the speed of a bullet my lady shifted.
