Chasing the horizon

travelling everyday ...
the same road ...
the same direction ...
see cars come ... and go away ...
the gradually vanishing whistles ...
inviting a chase ...

the sky is just a mirror ...
reflects the same story ...
clouds come everyday ...
forming such wonderful shapes ...
every single one to disappear ...
with wind ... they go somewhere far ...
again ... mocking me to chase them ...

the beach ... the sea ...
play the same mockery ...
this time with the waves ...
the vanishing waves ...
promising to take me far ...
at the end ...
just a foolish chase ...

the whole world ...
is nothing but a mockery ...
an invitation ...
of chasing ...
making me run like a madman ...
to chase the horizon.

no ...
stop the chase.
dwell high ... way too high ...
among the moon and the stars ...
to realize ... once and forall ... that ...
there is no horizon that can be chased.

The Missing Piece

You and me ...
with our jigsaw puzzles.
yours harder than mine ...
and mine more subtle than yours.

Our puzzles took so many shapes ...
independently and together ...
some funny ... some serious ...
some so so ...
while some terrific ... yet incomplete ...
just an illusion of being complete.

The missing piece ...
yours with me and mine with yours ?
Do u realize the same ?
or yet another illusion ?

Rosy pearls

Every single drop makes ripples ...
not just on surface ...
but deep inside ... my tender heart ...
triggering the silken waves ...
soft and shining ...
impulsing the whole body ...
to go insane.

The rain comes again ...
its the nature which is calling ...
but raindrops have vanished ...
instead, rosy pearls are falling.


best,

Underwater

In this new world I entered ...
No noise whatsoever ... only the calmness ... the steadiness ...
All motions are slow ... slow and rhythmic ...
Even chaos I make becomes rhythmic ..
.
Dreams just disappeared ...
or rather merged into the life itself ...
Green eyed mermaid ... I am amazed by your world ...
it is as still as your eyes ...

What next ? ...
Will I survive any longer here ... underwater ...
half asleep ... half awake ?

As long as you keep looking into my eyes forever and ever ...
as long as your twinkling dimples greet me everytime we meet ...
as long as you are my girl ... I'll live.
The rest matters not.

The Green Eyed Mermaid

She works in an aquarium, so I call her mermaid.
And she has got the most beautiful green eyes I have ever seen.

A little trouble ...
She is just too far, in another world, oceans away ...
I wrote this poem for her ... only for her ...
And when I gave it to her ...
she told me that this is the most beautiful poem she has ever seen.
Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder!
And her green eyes are truely beautiful ...

My Lord, why am I behaving so crazy ?
Am I in love again ?

The Green Eyed Mermaid

So deep you leave me in the ocean of your eyes
so true is the truth, that the truth never lies

The truth is I loved you, loved whole night long
dancing on the beats of your neverheard song

Now the music is in waves and the melody in air
but the singer is too far and thats just not fair

Though the lands are apart by oceans and much more
the symphony is still heard when waves hit the shore

Oh green eyed mermaid, come flying with these waves
and take me to your world in those fancy coral caves

Are these the lies or dreams I dream with you ?
but in your beautiful eyes ...
my green eyed mermaid ... my lies too look so true.

Fog

It's pretty bright over here ...
still I can't see what lies even an inch ahead ...
the white darkness ...
inside and outside ... it looks the same.

Where is the light ?
Where is the light !
The light herself refuses to light ...
leaving me wandering in this bright darkness.

Oh light! Beautiful light! Do you hear my cry?
Be back ... I am waiting ... for the mist to disappear.
As having you without having you
is darker than the darkest night I have ever had ...

Echoes ... Pink Floyd ...

Overhead the albatross hangs motionless upon the air
And deep beneath the rolling waves
In labyrinths of coral caves
The echo of a distant tide
Comes willowing across the sand
And everything is green and submarine.

And no one showed us to the land
And no one knows the wheres or whys
But something stirs and something tries
And starts to climb toward the light

Strangers passing in the street
By chance two separate glances meet
And I am you and what I see is me
And do I take you by the hand
And lead you through the land
And help me understand the best I can

And no one calls us to move on
And no one forces down our eyes
And no one speaks and no one tries
And no one flies around the sun

Cloudless every day you fall upon my waking eyes
Inviting and inciting me to rise
And through the window in the wall
Comes streaming in on sunlight wings
A million bright ambassadors of morning

And no one sings me lullabies
And no one makes me close my eyes
And so I throw the windows wide
And call to you across the sky

BACKSTREET BOYS

"Incomplete"

Empty spaces fill me up with holes
Distant faces with no place left to go
Without you within me I can't find no way
Where I’m going is anybody’s guess

I’ve tried to go on like I never knew you
I’m awake but my world is half asleep
I pray for this heart to be unbroken
But without you all I’m going to be is incomplete

Voices tell me I should carry on
But I am swimming in an ocean all alone
Baby, my baby
It’s written on your face
You still wonder if we made a big mistake

I’ve tried to go on like I never knew you
I’m awake but my world is half asleep
I pray for this heart to be unbroken
But without you all I’m going to be is incomplete

I don’t mean to drag it on, but I can’t seem to let you go
I don’t wanna make you face this world alone
I wanna let you go (alone)

I’ve tried to go on like I never knew you
I’m awake but my world is half asleep
I pray for this heart to be unbroken
But without you all I’m going to be is incomplete

Incomplete
