In a fabled garden


In a fabled garden, on a balmy summer evening
I happen to walk alone through the dusty trails
Garden-a paradise for kids in the blissful evening
And a stage for the adults, where insanity prevails

As I strolled further, I was joined by the worldly aunts
After a brief hello, I retrieved from the hustled gathering
To the farthest corner where their voices won't haunt
Only to find little bundles of joy playing and giggling

As I sat there observing them play among themselves
Hands clasped together far from the high profile saga
One of them grabbed my hand, seeing me sitting alone
How open they are to the world and so far from the drama

I loved the touch of her silken hand that softly clinged to mine
Least I say I was smitten by the innocence in her twinkling eyes
They called me to their little wonderland, to play and dine
And together we counted twinkling stars in the moonlit sky

It became a routine thereafter, that never could I miss
Not a care in the world: no false appearances, no lies
Just promises to hold each other always, at all times
Mumbled in sweet chatters that I will never understand…

I would rather..

I have seen people distance themselves from others
To avoid the pain of a broken heart
But do you truly live then?
I would rather love with all my broken heart
than build a world without love forever

I have seen people losing hope
To avoid the effort it takes to hold on to it
But do you truly live then?
I would rather die with a yearning hope
than live a hopeless life

I have seen people building walls around them
To avoid the pain of getting hurt again
But do you truly live then?
I would rather take a fall and learn
than sit in my palace with long walls

I have seen people lying for their fake pride
To avoid being considered weak and poor
But do you truly live then?
I would rather be hated for what I am
than being loved for what I am not

I have seen people forgetting to live
Struggling to merely exist forever
But do you truly live then? 
I would rather be immortal in someone's dreams
than live an eternal life with mere existence.

My Gracious Moon..


When the beautiful night unveils with darkness
I look for you in the starry sky above
And I find you glancing through the clouds
You feel so close yet so far, my love

Everything about your existence is amazing
The waning gibbous, the waxing half moon
And the solitary crescent, I have always been praising
But I adore the most, the gracious full moon

When everything shines in your silvery light
And only the outlines highlight in your presence
When the charmed ocean dances every night
Babbling and celebrating your eternal essence

And as the dawn makes its way with a light
I shall wait for the night to see you again
The world of night is a beautiful sight
'Cause of you, my wandering gracious moon...
