Awaken
At dusk yesterday,
I questioned my existence
At the break of dawn,
Tears of joy fell from my eyes
As the sun glides through the darkness
Solace
Water curtain, deep and still
Peaceful, enchanting silence
Noise of the world, unmindful
In the cradle curled-up
Sleeping, innocent child
Exile
I'll self-exile this Thursday
inside the dark corner of my mind
so when I come out I can
...appreciate the light of
hope again
Runaway (Lantern Poetry)
Run
Coward stride
Get away, never return
Escape and hide
Burn
intersection
screeching tires, burning
trying to beat time
roundabouts
beeping cars – some
finding their way
freeway with restrictions
sweeping wind
destination unknown
Urban Combat
intersection
screeching tires, burning
trying to beat time
roundabouts
beeping cars – some
finding their way
freeway with restrictions
sweeping wind
destination unknown
The Guardian
Up in the sky
A gentle eye
Watches
Behind the clouds
Emits soft light
Comforts
Like a candle
Guides in the dark
Illuminates
A gentle eye
Watches
Behind the clouds
Emits soft light
Comforts
Like a candle
Guides in the dark
Illuminates
i love it!

ReplyDeleteI, also, love the image accompanying the poem. The emotions were very well displayed with imagery.
ReplyDeleteMarinela, Punam, Anthony thanks for your rather lovely comments. I am glad you like it.
ReplyDeleteShort but meaningful. It doesn't take a long poem to be powerful and deep. I liked it.
ReplyDeleteThanks Arabia, I am trying to lessen the words but making my piece deeper. I hope I am being able to achieve that.
