Electric.

Pacified and dormant

It seems like I have

Charged for a long time

Then the thunder came...

And I'm stung like

Live wire to water

The excitement never stops

The current unwavering

I look into the horizon

Sparks flying

And I chose to ignore them all.

I am afraid.

I am afraid.

Of what might happen,

Of what I'm feeling right now,

Of the decisions that I might make.

I am scared.

Of this gnawing feeling,

Of a number of sensations going on and on,

Of the state of peace that might break anytime.

I am frightened.

Of the prisoner trying to break free,

Of the cup filled to the brim,

Of the runner ready to sprint.

I am terrified.

My Right Kind Of Coffee

a silent escape
enraptures me when
you are smelt
a strong sense of
contentment emanates when
you are tasted
giving me warmth
and solitude when
you are savored

you...are my right kind of coffee.

And

all this time i have been

wondering how it might have been when

things happened so differently than

what is actually going on today and

it seems like a broken record when

i play it over and over again but

caring about that is nothing compared to

what i originally felt before and

now i am simply overwhelmed by

this nagging feeling of regret but

i'm trying to steer clear of

that pit because i might drown and

what could have been was

what i want to have right now but

that may be hard because of

this fear emanating from within and

this half-empty core seems emptier than

ever when i think about it but

a dose of you day by day is

a refreshing drink that fills my cup and

all i want now is a chance to

redeem myself in several ways but

the shocking truth that stings is that

i cannot do this on my own.

Yesterday and Today.

The sky turns to a merciless shield
The entire place to darkness
The living scream to death
Isolation is at large
Feelings open from taunted hearts
Struggling to come out
And all we can do is stifle and cry...
Now's the end
Now's the time
To kiss me and tell me
We're all ok...
Would you?

Oasis.

Awakening to a place of void
I stand feeling queasy
Plunging to the still darkness
Killing the springs of death
Looking for a spirit so kindred
Then pass on silver linings
Reminisce the joy of the past
Gazing ahead with no regrets
I stop, feeling unsure
A face lingers behind the darkness
I ask what's ahead of me
He answers with virtuosity
"No reason for alarms,
A hand so special
Ushers you to a vicinity
You would especially love the most."

01/10/1999

Believe in Me.

A smile upon my lips
Tends to last
Passes through my mind
The memory of the past

People change
As time flies by
Chances will be taken
Won't say goodbye

Deceit scares me so
But all is true
Can't turn away
Being tasteless won't do

Tenderness comes from within
Mutual affection is fate
Torn between goodbye and I love you
It's for us to bring hate


12/26/98

Intoxicated.

The genesis of dexterity
Emerge as a fruit for the souls
Individuality became miscellaneous
As a strange dilemma
Manifested to be my zeal
Until the day of superannuation
Stay sultry
No more sufferings
No more pain
Stay still


12/20/98

Hypnotized.

A seemingly mysterious sense
Is tingling up my spine again
Trying not to look back
I shut my eyes and listened
To the swaying trees...
To the eerie wind...
To a voice calling my name
Just around the sizzling darkness
Desperately wanting me...

I still hadn't worked my way out
Of this deadly nightmare
I'm trying to shiver those thoughts away
But I couldn't budge
I wanted to scream
But I seem to be hypnotized
By this crazy torment
I'm in such a weak state
Somebody help me...
PLEASE!!!

12/10/98

My Dejected Sentiment.

I'm in search of your affection
But scanning your soul makes me weak
We say empty words
Reassurance is all I need

Can't you heed my pain
It's screaming to be heard
But all you can see is my wriggling toes
Nothing else...

Maybe I'm way too loud
But it seems to have some sense
Than be defenseless from your sight
Bet I would taste so sugarless

You know sharing is good
But I'll try and try until I die
Knowing somehow we're in this together
Missing you is forever and a day.

Harlequin

Don't make me smile

I'm sick of your lousy company

Don't talk about your attainments

I'll wake you up from your fantasy

Don't comfort me when I'm blue

You don't lighten up my day

Don't even think about it

I'm not touched anyway

You don't seem to be important

You're just another kid around

You're a filthy fool

You're not making the world go round

Be nice and humble

Have pity on yourself

Take my advice

Or I'll shake your head

I'm not a paranoid

Just pitying you

Do yourself a favor

Don't be a nincompoop!

The Natural Witch

Late at night

Casting out curses and spells

Seriously putting her mind into it

Invoking spirits is her favorite hobby

Reading some of them from witchcraft books

Murmuring, whispering, shouting, screaming

Until she ends up crooning

Raising her hands up high as she chants

Don't blame her;

She's just acting her natural self.

4/30/98

The Peculiar One

Crying out

The desire of being despised

Of being forsaken

To be alone

In this filthy world

Working unmethodically

To achieve what he longed for

Doing sorts of inexplicable things

Causing himself to be hysterical

Giving away keen glances

To clement people

Who had sympathy for him

Giving himself

His very own verdict...

His very own future...

7/21/98

Impotence

Strange buccaneers

Enveloping the sluggish spectacle

Endlessly craving

For the unworldly individual

Who was too appalled to retaliate

Just a short murmur saying,

"Help!"

11/6/98

The Solicitor

A hindrance to the society

Although searching

For kindred spirits

Gradually becoming hopeless

Causing himself to trample

Along nasty roads

Skin sunburned

From the big, raging sun

Desperately wondering and wandering over

For some compassionate passers-by

To bestow him something

For necessary rejuvenation

Refusal was their response

To this parched creature

Please bring forth

Or this man will perish

Forever...

To share more of my wilted hobby to you guys, I have decided to create a separate blog for my poetry.

I named it "the creative box" just like my multiply page with the above URL. I named it as it is because being imaginative and creative will take you places other than the "box" that you're in.

I am posting some of my work from the time I had started writing poetry, and I have over a hundred already so I will be picking some of my favorites and will be posting them there. I will also be posting a few of them here.

It's not much, but I hope you'll like it. :)

perfect love in heaven

The sun shining mercilessly

into the dusty grounds

with the sky so bare

no clouds to shield

the earth from

the sun's intrepidity.

With the bare sky

and the disturbing weather

came a parched creature

looking for something

to eat and drink

unfortunately...

there was none.

The discouraged creature

continued to walk

despite its disappearing strength

searching for food and water

until there was nothing

of its strength left

but its thin

and quivering body

It collapsed into

the hot surface

with its unclean

and dry skin

unconscious

for a long time

Until someone

from up above

took its life

with perfect love

and adoration

in His eyes

Together

they flew up

into the high skies

until they reached

their destination...

HEAVEN.
