Words

So many emotions churning inside her heart
So much to say, yet she says nothing at all

Words are not deep enough to give them shape
The moment she tries to use words to explain
The feeling evaporates, leaving behind
Banal scribbles blackening a page

Her heart remains unreachable as ever
Like a princess banished to a tower
Words, used to express what she needs
But never enough to express what she feels

So many emotions churning inside her heart
So much to say, yet she says nothing at all

The Scream

Something heavy in her heart, pulling her down
It is beating against the walls to get out...
It hurts… But she clenches her teeth and puts on a face

Slowly the screaming dies down inside
But its still there lurking in a dark corner
Waiting….waiting for the barrier to break

It seeks a weak moment to break out
Fall in her tears… and fly out in her screams
But she holds on… clenching her teeth… till eternity

The smiling breath

The sun has lost its harshness for the day
A cool breeze lifts hair away from her face
Bringing with it scents that caress her skin
The green smell of freshly cut grass
Suddenly, the darkness inside her lifts
The world appears brighter... clearer
The blossoms on champa trees seem whiter
Surrounding her in their sweet earthy smell
And she takes a deep deep breath...
Something cools down in her heart
Slowly a smile flowers at her lips

I am going back

I am going back, back to my city
Where winters are harsh, and summers are harsher
A city that is hard, fast, ugly and uncaring
Where I learned all that life could teach me

A city where my childhood chortled
Where I fell in love, and my heart blossomed
Where I saw betrayal and pain
Where my dreams were shattered

I ran away from the city, and ran hard
Away from a bitter sweet past
From memories lurking in every nook and cranny
But all that I left behind me was the city

I ran to the beautiful cities of the world
New York, Hong Kong, London
But still my heart craved for what I left behind
My city, my home, my love, my pain

Now I am going back, to perhaps start again
Or maybe carry on where I had left off…
I am going back to the only place
Where my life is, to perhaps live again…..

A beautiful boy

Big chocolaty eyes filled with wonder
Dark curls flying around his head
A smile… mischievous, trusting, angelic
Her beautiful, beautiful boy…

Every night as the boy goes to sleep
A contented smile plays on his lips
Happy and safe in his mother’s arms
Her beautiful, beautiful boy…

And she weeps, of the time to come
When her embrace will not be enough
She weeps for the day he will grow up
Her beautiful, beautiful boy…

When reality will rear its ugly head
The wonder will disappear from his eyes
The smile replaced by hurt and confusion
Her beautiful, beautiful, beautiful boy…
