Summer Breeze

Where art thou my friend?? I'm in such a need of you
Whisk me away to another place new
You go to many places nearby and afar
I'd like to hitch a ride with you; don't care where

I'm covered with a layer of sooty worries
As time goes on the darker my skin will get
Can I count on you to blow it off of me??
Because there is only so much I can take

I need you to be my carrier of words
Words that cannot be told to the ones intended
I'll seal it tight in a box lest it can be discovered
Send your strongest wind, then bury it in a desert

You are mostly cool and calm; love your style!
Trying to imitate you works most of the time
It is not easy keeping my flawed act together
When expectations of me are mounting as ever

I can be gentle like you, and destructive too
Searching for a means to balance both elements
Do come around my place again soon
I value your company.......... always do

How can I tell you.....

I saw her on my way to a lecture
Suddenly she was there, chatting with friends
An opportunity for which I was grateful; a God send
Didn’t miss out on the chance, how could I?

Indeed, she has an enchanting smile
On impact its warmth spreads through your soul
Rays of the sun dancing around her and reflecting light
Oh! How she glowed, words cannot describe

Many things I’d been longing to tell her from the start
About the manner she makes me feel, act and think
Time’s short making it all too tricky; I feel shackled!!
Why can’t it be different? Wish I had more time

I remember both of us on the sands gazing out to sea
Wrapped in a gusty wind blanket, shaded by cerulean skies
The moment was perfect, nothing could have been better
How I long for that same dream to reappear

Tell me...........how can I tell you??

Pieces of Me....

I feel like floating on a gust of wind
Far removed from present thought
Carried away in the occurring moment
Wrapped in a blanket of imaginary thoughts

I, at times feel bright and clear as day
Overflowing with energy, so much gay
Like the beating of a child's tender heart
Fragile entirely, but easily satisfied

I, at times feel dark like the night
Hollow, drab and ever so empty inside
Ignoring all that is surrounding me
Craving for solitude and doses of respite

I am a timely and periodic mood shifter
A chameleon portraying an array of emotions
Possessing masks that fit to any given situation
In spite of it all clinging to the rope of optimism

I am a realistically infatuated dreamer
Given the chance, even a suave romantic
In a fervent search of an elusive damsel
Ti'l my lonely life on earth comes to pass

One moment in time.....

The Person You Are

I think in the range of infinity
So that I may get an inch of clarity
As to what kind of a person you are
Every time I begin to ponder
To unearth the person of my wonder
To comprehend; the likes of who you are

They tell me your not alike the rest
Ti's proving to be my ultimate test
But I'd still like to know who you are
I do hope you can spare some time
In order to immerse my inquisitive mind
And unlock the mystery of who you are

Inspiration to me comes in a moment in which everything around me is non-existent. The only things that flow are words; an endless stream of words. In that space in time, to me, nothing else matters. All I would ever need is a piece of paper and pencil or pen. The words are never in order and at times don't make sense. But after the entire episode the pieces come together like a completed puzzle.
