STILL LIFE
my spirit has awakened from this dreamy, deep slumber
leading me to a path of a haven with different hues dancing
flamboyantly flirting with my naked eyes.
an optical illusion some would utter
but this heavenly apparition in front of me is hypnotizing
a painting of a still life welcomed me to an eternal solace.
a masterpiece depicted in what could have been
a canvass of real life, a fortress within the confines of my imagination
a by-product of my creative mind's jubilation!
such a relaxing shelter,sacred place to be for a soul with a dying ember
sweet echoes of memories from the distant past greeted me
as I immerse myself in this abysmal revelry.
chirping birds, sound of crickets tune in to a vibrant rhythm
as the artist's hands glides in with his undying passion
i watch solemnly as He moves his finishing touches with such lovely creation!
a work of art way beyond any appropriate description
this palette of life each one of us on a mission
created by a Higher being above, our Master Scribe!

AWAKENINGS
A cast-away soul
in his solitary moment,
Floating into a
never-ending circle of uncertainty
In denial of all
things hitting him in the eye
Or could it be
that he just can’t dare to face dire reality?
A deep-seated
fear sets in rooted from the world’s cruelty.
Shielding
himself from dark forces,
But wake-up
calls are beyond his control
He wants to
awaken from this abstract dream
Mysterious
vibrations preventing him to even scream
Delusions
overwhelming him in every heart beat.
A spectrum of
enveloped ideas only his mind can conceive,
Out of this
swirling darkness he awakened from being naïve
Bid adieu to his
grueling nightmare
Awaiting for the
dawning of a new day
To see the light
welcoming him again.

COLOR BLIND
In the vast
shadow of my loneliness,
I see an empty
blue sky above me
Sunny as it may
seem, I still feel
this emptiness
from within…
I see myself
flying high up but
with nowhere to
go…searchin’
for my rainbow,
the end it still
doesn’t show… In
the tapestry
of my dreams, I
see clouds white as
snow, fragments
of my past just continue to flow…
Deep inside this
heart of mine, I have nowhere to
go but to go on
searchin’ for my other shadow…
On my journey
through life I have learned people
come, people
go…but its how you touched someone’s
heart and life
that matters whenever you go…
I may have
turned my back but I will surely turn around
and see you
smiling for you will never regret once in your
life I came but
now I must go…color blind…even if my life
direction is
still blurred…I must go color blind and be content,
be happy for
what God has created me!
