Thoughts Straying in Words

In the City, I don't really belong

Where it's chaotic and crowded;

In the sea, all day and nightlong,

Where materialistic life enshrouded,

By the ever-changing scenic view,

Of the creative arts, Nature drew; 

In the sea, steering about in a boat,

With a grey-haired man and his wisdom;

Waking about on a beach, of an island remote,

Or drifting with the current of underwater Kingdom;

Here I am, with thoughts straying endlessly;

When I'd rather be, close to nature where it's heavenly.

Cheers!

Girl Behind the Drapes

A glimpse of the world out there,

Seen briefly through the drapes;

Adrift in a corner seat, I stare

at the vague colours and shapes;

Trying to imagine what's behind, 

My thoughts are on the other side;

Hazily seen through the blind;

Imagination shall be my guide. 

Slightly clouded blue sky, I see;

Appears still and calm, the sea;

On the shoreside, placidly she

Is sitting, under a greener tree.

Cheers!

A Moment Timeless

Steering through flooded streets,

In heavy downpour, with winds

Strong enough to knockdown trees,

And cold enough to send chills

And quiver through bone and ribs;   

Her embrace and bliss is the fix;

 

Perched on a wall, by the sea 

Clung together tightly, soaked wet,

In the rain fall, blessed and free;

As thunder struck and waves sped,

Caught in Nature's utopian whelm,

Nothing else mattered to them;

Relishing heartily in absolute silence,

Words didn't need to be spoken;

Yearned for long, a moment timeless,

That rhythm cannot be broken,

For that point in time will be cherished

Forever, remembered and never perished. 

Cheers!

Sun Dance

When the sun goes down, at twilight,

The horizon sets ablaze a colourful show,

And elsewhere will be a beautiful sunrise,

As we wait for the night sky to say hello;

The magic takes place every day, everywhere,

And it's never the same any day, anywhere;

I sit in silence watching the sun dance,

The sight of it sending chills up my spine;

Half conscious in a slight state of trance,

In the colorful sky, I see your graceful smile;

The dusk falls into a beautiful starry night,

leaving me gazing, till you to come alight.

Cheers!

The Natural Pair

After few days of dullness,

Shying away behind clouds;

Today, shining in its fullness,

In the blue sky, the sun is proud;

Chilly wind died off, for now;

The trees greener, standing still,

With no movement in the bough,

Leaves spread-out to light, for refill;

Quiet and warm at the surface, 

Providing for all the lost tears,

Of yesterday sky, and all other days,

Mighty sea with bright sun; a natural pair.  

Cheers!

A Dive After Long

Been too long, since I’ve been down there,

In the sea, with or without scuba gear;

Planning a dive tomorrow, somewhere near,

Weather is lovely, and sea better be clear.

Cheers!

A Beautiful Moment

The beach, may not have white sand,

The sea, may not be crystal clear, 

But the waves, kiss the shore, just the same;

The sky, with all shades of the blue band,

Yachts and boats, anchored everywhere,

And the wall in-between, keeps the coast safe;

Here I stand behind the bench, near the sand bank,

It's warm and sunny here, this time of the year,

Scenic place on the horizon, don't know the name;

Lost in this beautiful moment, hand in hand,

Time flies as they hold still, at a speed unclear,

And going back in time now, in words I frame;

Can't express all the details, hope you understand,

Such a breathtaking scenery, it's not my frontier,

And yet, here I try so hard, oh it's just lame.

Cheers!

A Moment In Time

Hanging on to a wonderful moment,

Everything else changes with a blink,

And you're stuck in a distant moment,

Forever there, forgetting to even blink;

Each passing moment, you become the past,

Shift of the worlds, yesterday no more,

And you're still here, it could be your last,

Forever there, staring at the closing door;

Just complicated moments, like this page,

No prior warning, it just comes crashing,

And you wonder, in an unfamiliar maze,

Forever there, every bit of it flashing;

Affliction they say, is your shining time,

When you think about it, rightly said,

And yet, time frozen in a distant clime,

Forever there, swirling around in your head.

Cheers!
