A Transient Rendezvous





Cool breeze whispered softly onto my skin,
The Sun, glorious and splendid, locked within my stare,
As I anxiously made grounds to be still and think,
A voice slips within the cracks and tear,

"Vigilance". A profound vibration that resonates deep.
As I pictured my plights and mishap,
A calm, floods my Heart and gifting what I seek,
Of divine notions and collective concepts,

"Come to my aid." The continuous murmurs of my heart.
"For I am the found, missing."
"For I am the lost, drifting."
"For I am a grief, that is tearing myself apart."

A clarity of nothingness filled my bones and scenery,
Igniting my Heart and racing my thoughts,
Chilling my emotions from what used to be hot,
Uttering, "Have I been forsaken to feel such misery?"

A solemn voice answered, "It is you that have forsaken thee!"

Images of past and present collided with haste,
Evidence of conflict and strife purging with a foul taste,
The voice brought me to the roots, deep beneath this maze,
As a figure appeared from this confusion and haze,

The brightest of light surrounds this being,
A sense of clarity appeared with a familiar, amicable sense of intimacy,
In a void of white, a sweet face so recognizable but yet unknown in reading,
It swept me off with an embrace, emanating joys and falling fallacies,

My voice trembles as I whispered, "You are true. But not what I have imagined."
A connection that transcends any memory or gut,
"I am always with you..." Spoken in echos uniting in deafening silence,
A voice of an infinite presence. An end to a start.

The embrace felt it lasted for eternity as I questioned my existence,
"Why am I? What am I? Who am I?"
Within our touch, I recognized a breath of sustenance,
Answers to my questions trickled down, covering from ground to sky,

"I am. Therefore, you are!" An ever clear statement taints my soul,
Slipping beneath the void like gravity was switched off,
That voice resonating within my essence as I tried to grab hold,
Tumbling toward an unknown centre, no fire below. No heaven aloft.

The light of reality crept from under my eyelids, blinded me momentarily,
Only minutes have passed, yet I was overcome by wisdom of eternity,
As the wonder encapsulate my heart, the grief withered away,
Exhilarating yet exhausted, rested my head as my body fell to lay,

Reflecting every moment, an anxiety peaking me flushed,
Knowing what was answered yet a confusion fill the gaps,
A dream it may be. Yet it felt too real for doubt to gush,
Take it in my stride, recollecting with every step.

Months passed, then years awoke me with these memories,
A drowning feeling of hopelessness and tragedy,
Again I sat quietly and reminisce of what I once was,
Just knowing what was said, have kept me align, never again lost.

Yet I pondered. I hoped for a next rendezvous to be soon.
My wrinkles have caught up, wearing wisdom upon my face,
My hands strong yet my aged ears are not well in tune,
My eyes blurred and my tongue too tiresome for taste,

"It is you that have forsaken thee..." Kept running through my numbered thoughts,
As I looked through the mirror, I asked the same questions that riddled me since,
As I stare into the depth of my reflection, I realised, "Oh God!"
I am what succoured. The divine is just a reflection of what lies deep within.

My Wedding was not Mine

News have broken, Happiness impart, Eyes wide open, Plans have to start, We wanted simple, Small and intimate, Plans start to swivel, Trying to accommodate, Additions of lavish, Prices rocket high, Expectations not managed, Every counter with a sigh, Arrangements are muddled, Breath gets anxious, Organisers clutched and bustle, While our ideas are vanquished, So we step aside, Decided our own side plans, Nodding coincides, Arms down with helping hands, A moment of realisation, That this wedding is never ours, Giving way to our "wise" parents, Protecting an image of theirs, Well this is the tradition, Our "culture" in fact, Bop heads in submission, Keeping love intact, So do what you wish, We just hand over the deposit, Over-choosing every dish, Burning holes in our pocket, Then here the day comes, Nervous but excited, Deafening loud drums, Costumes over budget, Yet smiles are endless, Minds,...

My Suffering

I have been broken, Fractured and sliced, Wounds that tore open, Bruised muscles across my thigh, Heartbreak is much worst, Loneliness that scarred, Tears that seem endless, A hurt that stretched out too far, But this is the ultimate pain, For nothing can describe the torture, A feeling like acid in my veins, Breaking my soul to such a horror, Yet no blood will be spilled,  No tear I can show, No solution will reveal, Not mine, yet I can't let go, Nothing is more painful than to see your suffering, Difficult coming to terms, not being to control everything, But rest assured, through this pain, you'll have my support, No matter what happens, I am here. This is what I can afford, Love, Papa.

Happiness is not Wise

Do you want to know the secret, Of perpetual elation? Where there are no limits, A pleasure with no cessation, One is in always noticing, What is close to our hearts, It could be someone or something, A moment ended or about to start, Know that it’s not a destination, Neither a purpose nor a goal, As happiness is a mere consequence, To a choice we CAN control, A contentment of being, Existing within this vastness, Ever grateful to be living, Then, it’s everywhere to be harness, But happiness is not wise, So choose only when permits, As when all other emotions arise, Each one with its own merits, A grief, a sadness, Make moments more valid, An anger, the madness, Make us wise with knowledge, A surprise to be forever saved, A disgust to show such a violent reality, Fear only teaches us to be brave, Cultivating our soul, invariably, Revel in these emotions, Feel fully and accept, Life, it deserves a d...
