Lady of the Night

Covered with unknown beauty
Laid in never heard of wealth
Who are you? O lady of the night!
To whom does your heart belong?
On whom is your heart set on
Of this world or the next
To whom do you owe your fallen beauty to?

Do you rise as the falcon or swim like the salmon?
Into the day or into the night
To where does your life enfold to

Have you set your heart on none?
Or the one you loved, stolen from your arms
Do you belong to none? Or to all?

Your beauty never fading...
Frozen between lines of the past
Mingled with the grains of today
Whom do you owe your beauty to?

Why do you walk the night alone?
As though searching for a lost soul
Did he do you right or did he do you wrong?
That your heart never forgave nor forgot
The wholeness robbed from you.


Never Let go

Silence drowned by reality
Life minced with sorrow
How I yearn to know?
How I long to learn?
The truth that moves reality

Hidden behind the clouds of silence
Are you the one in shining glory?
Or, the one who shimmers in love
Do you know the one who twinkles in the night sky?

Will the truth reveal you?
Will you show your light 
I don’t know who you are or what you are
But I yearn for your presence
With every inch of my being

Your serenity shone bright
Your love gleamed with the warmth of life
I still don’t know who you are
Your name is all I possess

Till I hear you
Till I see you
Till I feel you
I search, I search with longing
I search, hoping
I search, wandering
For the day I hold you in my arms
To never loose, to never let go



The Veil

Life behind the veil I see,
Life through those eyes, I see
Perspective different in every glance
Beauty that can never be hidden
By the veil of black

Crimson in her vision,
Through that grim veil
Yet covered and hovered by tradition
Traditions that couldn’t be laid down

Freedom she longed for
Suppressed by the very tribe that bore her, that she bore
Open fields of freedom, denied for bondage and work

In fields of Gold
For love even given, a dime never returned
For work ever done; no reward
Fruitful lives made null
Behind four walls of slavery

Lonliness

I gave up life for a dream
I gave up reality for fantasy
To realize, they were one and the same

I traded life for a chance
A chance to shoot blank

I let love pass, I let it through
I saw it walk through my door
No remorse

So I stay, staring at the void you created
At the loneliness I melted into shape

Love Is it?

There’s enough reason for you to hate me
And enough reason for me to love you
Yet it could never come true
Yet the truth could never turn to lies
And the lies into truth

Love enough to hate, hate enough to love
The balance between love and hate
And yet destiny travelling parallel roads

Your love could never tame that soul
A soul so ruthless, yet you cared
Still, for a closed door, a heart open
One could never have understood those ways

Blown away by time, yet time and again reminding
What it is to stay in love, to stay in hate
Never could it be dissolved
Never could it be separated

An answer to a never certain question
A question to a never ending love
Where does it end?
Where does it stop?

An unrequited love, but still a want, that never ceased.
Flames of hunger, burning bright
Consuming vines of desire
Igniting that which remained hidden

Like a puzzle hidden
The fire in her eyes bore
The mystery of imagination

Her voice, echoed determination
Of achieving the impossible

Her fingers wove the magic of dreams
Unleashing the dusk of that which
Remained hidden to civilization

Rain

Why is that I don't hear you anymore?
My heart and soul seems void of the music you once sang
I look out the window, searching the same landscape
To find a trace of black, a glimpse of you

But all I see, a clean slate
Do you not see how I long to immerse, in the showers, of the elixir of life
Does your ears not hear my heart throb, to hear those drops immersing into the earth

I remember those days drenched in you
Walking down the streets, splashing puddles
As though the years went back in time
A cover so meaningless then

A whimper it might be to you, joy to me
Come back again next year
I'll be waiting for that time to drench in your snivels
Ironic how a whimper meets joy

Walls to tear down

Do you know I stand behind these walls
Waiting for the doors to be flung open
To the day of liberation, from bonds unseen
Trapped within four walls built by human hand
Weary as they might be, still strong to build bonds

What am I waiting for??
I have hands, bare as they might be
I still can pull one stone a time
To crumble those walls, that between me and the light
One word still was needed to spark the will to pull down.

Why dependent on a voice for help, to break the spell
The one inside, the soul unlocked is mightier than anything else
I will pull them down, walls
With bare hands for the will that rests has awakened
