Even for a second!
Will you?
*****
Will you be the one to settle with me at last?
And save my precious energy
from wandering
Will you accept my all?
And be the one
to occupy the secret places in my world
Will you be my honey?
To turn my bittersweet memories
To take a bite of bliss
Will you be my angel day and night?
To guide my blind senses to the light
Will you be the music?
To become the alarm on my wedding day
to wake my sleeping heart to blossom spring
With the ring
Beauty or dignity?
Shame or lame?
I’m here for YOU!
To my Crush
*****
The smell of your distant thoughts
Captivates me with sweet touches.
I am a solo singer
Mused by your hallucinations everyday
I don’t deserve the Grammy awards,
your melting heart my reward.
Anytime our paths cross
I don’t know exactly what to always say
That’s why I weep in joy
When I want to say hello to you
Whenever you are lonely
And you need someone by your side
Close your eyes and imagine me so close
And I promise you
I will fly without wings
be right there to sing, your favorite song
that will heal and make us strong .
I can’t stand how much
The celestial bodies will someday gossip
about our nuptial charm.
When Love meets Fantasies
*****
Love me,
only with your eyes
And I won’t need a mirror
to flatter me how awesome I am
Love me,
only with your sincere confessions
And my thirst will be quenched
By your sweet nectar
Love me,
only with your prayers
And I will forever be well
Without a doctor
You are my invisible vaccine
I love you
For all the beautiful things
That no one else discovered in me
But, YOU!
ONLY YOU
*****
Only you
Without feeling the pains
Only you
Could build a dream home in me
Without knowledge of architecture
Only you
Could get me dancing off my feet
Without music
Only you
Could cure my insomnia
With no pills
[Healed by our mutual lullaby]
Only you
Could still say, ‘I trust
Though I see in your eyes lust’
Only you
Could make us complete
By taking the first step
To making our ties grow
Through our weaknesses and strength every day.
Only YOU!
A Patient Heart in Love
*****
When first step is turned down
Look up and see the crown
Follow your heart’s song
Today may deny you, your true place where you belong
Still walk the reality tracks
This will sometimes stir emotions of insecurity or lack
But remember you’ll soon be strong.
[A patient heart in love]
No matter the broken pieces left to mend
Will surely win in the end.
Wrong Kiss
*****
Sweetie
Your adorable eyes I will miss
Your perfume compliments,
My soft lips can’t dismiss
I lost a twin in me
When I realized you were gone,
forever
You plucked away
A piece of my heart
Every time the pamper
Of your kiss mastered promises as an art
I pledge for your lucky finder,
A fortune of you
For how perfectly you stole me at a glance
The world decided to trade you
For my past memories
Tell me a way to make it,
Without being haunted by your thoughts…
Why did you leave so soon without a sign?
I didn’t see this coming,
I would have prepared strong
And stopped my manly tears from choking me
In your place
A stranger walked to me
Sentenced to silence
Tempted to touch
Before, my lips could confess the Approaching charm
[what seemed like a dream]
Made our lips slide
And the nuptial feelings evoked,
Hit me like a wild tsunami
I drank more than enough,
I could easily be passed for the wine jar itself
As we closed our eyes
And journeyed on the slippery roads of the unknown
My senses woke up and discovered more than in the before
What seemed like a wrong kiss
Bless me with a non-refundable loan
To repay for my lost love
And I knew I will always love my first mistake.
Missing Kiss
*****
Kiss me passionately
And let your charm seal the promise
That we will both age gracefully
Soak me in your dew
And your everlasting water
Will quench my burning desire
Crawl your lips on mine
And am lost between eternity and forever
When my lips get bonded to yours
Our silent stares will grow stronger
Than echoes could exclaim!
Crawl your lips on mine
And the proud peacock will bow
To our nuptial beauty
One kiss to wash away my pain
One kiss to build my fantasies a home
I swear
When your kiss finds me
I’ll be a hero!
First Kiss
*****
When you first held my hands
It was too good
For my senses to understand
Heav’n came to witness
As our homeland
When our eyes met
I saw Mars propose love to Venus, at sunset
My tears dance
What a rare sight to chance
When I first cried
Your heart understood the pain
My being couldn’t explain
That’s why your charm
Gave me no option to complain
I felt deep love
Whenever I fell asleep in your soft arms
These fond gifts from you came from above.
Of the moons and stars
Spilling their liquid to water me
‘till the day after eternity
My senses went floating
When my mama gave me my first kiss
On my forehead!
This poem is inspired by my award winning piece ‘Mother’s Love’

Something from Sweet Christmas & New Poems Book
A little Child’s letter to God on Christmas Day
*****
Dear God
Many, many Christmases have passed me by,
I sent you several letters,
No sign to show you received any of them.
Please tell me,
If you are taking time to answer me in a special way,
I guess that will be enough to console me with a hug,
and make me feel just alright as your little child.
I starved myself of the soft and yummy ice cream for weeks,
saved my last pennies for my envelope and writing pad.
And the other kids made me into a teasing stock.
Oh, Dear God
Hear me out
Just this one moment
Search through my heart
Please, don’t let this last tear drop,
Walk through my cheeks in vain.
Is it because you know what I am thinking?
I am a sinner
I broke rules too
And I didn’t do my homework the last time
When I want to compare
All the new things the other kids have for Christmas,
It will only increase my pain.
All I have is a piece of my heart I share in this letter.
I have no more tears
I wait for the day when I will also smile
And when they see me from miles afar
The teasing label will become a pleasing star
Dear Lord, I don’t want much this Christmas.
Bless my world to accept me for who I am.
