Touch

A touch of excitement,

of Christmas bells,

of lost treasure wells.

And of victory

and visions

and of loud legions of lions

roaring...

A touch of support,

of that half broken branch on the tree,

of that plank

floating alone on the endless sea.

Of the only kid who

refused to cry,

who wouldn't be denied

of his chance to

fly...

A touch of passion,

of the rough and the tender,

the triumph of Feeling

And Beauty's surrender,

in the arms of

the empowering blaze-

the unspoken understanding for each others'

vulnerabilities...

A touch of sympathy,

of the shadow under the canopy.

Of the hand that

pats your back softly

to say, "It's okay

You're there where I used to be

someday...

A touch of love

of the reality in the illusions

that are our simplistic imaginations.

And of the who, why and what

of our being

and the things and people

that we are seeing,

in the foreshadowing of our own

dreams...

Helpless Hope

City streets, Piercing lights,
Raining needles,
Fictitous nights. Ignorant beings,
Walking past,
Meandering towards,
Their impartial last.

The descending river, Sounding loud,
Nostalgic notes,
Woven by the clouds.
Tearful heavens,
Starless sky,
Clothes soaking wet,
Hearts are dry.

Reckless Winds,
This binding chill,
Recursive Memories, Hold me still. Unknown alleys, Dark and deep,
Veiling the vague,
secrets they keep.
Lying down,
On the grass,
Glistening dew drops,
Reflecting the past.
Random images,
Regretful thoughts,
A few ' do's ' ,Many ' do not's '.
Silver Moonlight,
This dreamy dope,
Re-ignites,
My Helpless Hope.

O Brokenstar

I've been walking all night,

Staring at the Sky, I've come so far,

All I want to do tonight,

Is find you O Broken star.

I had seen you last night,

And expressed my wish to you,

As I woke up to the shining sun today,

I found my wish had come true.

You appeared across the sleeping sky,

Cutting through the dark night.

And left your mark between the stars,

Flying high and burning bright.

It is like only you knew,

What I want and what I feel,

I wish to tell you more about,

These dreams I still conceal.

But where are you now?

I've been searching all around,

I know these heavens hide you,

At a place you can't be found.

Is it this tranquil moon,

That conceals you from my sight,

Or is it that lofty mountain,

That hides from me your fiery flight.

You faded away last night,

And it has been lonely since then.

If I get to see you tonight,

I'd make a wish of meeting you again.

O broken star , My Broken star,

I hope you would return someday,

And when we meet again,

I won't let you fade away.
