Just Another Example

A crescent moon

in a crowded starlit sky,

different.

A thirsty shrub

surrounded by a sandy desert,

all alone.

A dolphin

in a pool full of people,

dignity abused.

A bird

caged between metal bars

freedom entrapped.

A dormant volcano

in sight of eruptions,

classified dead.

Amidst millions of human beings,

I am just another example

of the above.

Set for Adventure

Sleeping bag, check,

bottled water, check,

food stored, check,

other necessities, check.

Backpack is overflowing,

prepared for emergencies

that may rise unexpectedly.

It weighs down my shoulders,

heavier than I would like it to be,

motivatation gives me the strength to carry.

I look up,

roadsigns stare

just fever meters

ahead of me.

My brain holds a map

to every destination,

I could walk each path

with my eyes closed

but my mind is hazy,

undecided

on which way

I’d like to take.

Demolished

Poised and polite,

a gentleman

trustworthy

of all your belongings.

You hand him your heart,

clenched teeth shatter

the walls around.

But you should not have trusted him

for he spit the bricks

into your sheen eyes,

and devoured your heart

never to be seen again.

Within

Together

we create chaos,

glass shatters in the sight

of our hands held,

gales scratch our windows

when your skin touches mine,

swollen bruises

caused by hostile heartbeats.

You are gone,

the door slammed shut,

after that loud thump

quiet ensues.

Among the debris

of a broken home

within me I find peace.

Silence (Poem Featured in my Book)

I enter the room,

my footsteps echo,

as the cold air

touches my skin.

My heart beating,

body breathing,

no other movement

can be heard.

You are nowhere to be seen,

my eyes remain hopeful,

trying to find a trace

of any of your belongings.

No luck,

I hear the clock tick and tock,

and that is the only sound

I can hear.

The walls keep on closing on me,

time running out,

I am suffocating out of oxygen,

suffering in silence.

Then, I scream,

sound waves breaking out the silence,

can you hear me

squeal in pain?

I try breaking out the walls,

find a way to communicate

but I am locked inside,

constantly knocking for your reply.

There is no light that gives me hope,

darkness shrouds the room,

and I lay here waiting,

I will keep on waiting,

until I hear your voice again.

Angel (Poem Featured in my Book)

From the moment I saw you,

I knew,

you were different.

There was something about your gaze,

it pierced right through me,

creating a feeling

that I had never encountered before.

Your words were like prophecies,

showered from the heavens,

carried by an angelic vessel – your soul.

My lips can speak in four languages,

when they touched your lips

it became five,

building a whole new library

of unspoken words and body language.

Like an angel,

you swooped me from above,

lifted me higher,

together we started soaring

until my whole world changed.

I am sure that words cannot do justice

to the experience you brought to me;

yet I will do my best

to express

all the beautiful things

you make me feel.

A Chill in the Air

Among the angels you soar,

devil disguised in white feathers.

Your heart, too frigid,

chills launch as you breath,

freezing the clouds around.

The pain you wished to inflict

is crushed in vain,

covered in fluffy snow

descending slowly in a dance,

bringing hope

as the layers of white

wash away

the memories of yesterday.

The Balloon Man

Within a maze of books,

on a dusty shelf

lays a legend

long forgotten.

A man held on to his dreams

like a child to his balloons,

their shell was mesmerising

and their size huge,

but inside

they were as hollow as his head.

They lifted him up,

floated through the clouds

in sunshine, rain and thunder.

Elevated too high in the sky,

intense pressure

exerted on the fragile,

the balloons imploding

one by one.

And he plummeted quickly

to the ground,

hurt and alone

in a land unknown.
