I DESIRE TO BE FREE

i desire to be free,
to raom the earth
and the fields yonder.
to worry not
about the future
and my eventual destiny.
to dance naked
in the star sky
and bathe joyfully
in the moonlight shadow.
to fly away like a dove
and return someday to show love.
to travel deep in the ocean,
not afraid of the danget that lurk,
to swim with the fish
an d crawl with the crabs.
i desire to be free,
to just be me
for just a little while.

WHY I WRITE

i write to raise my voice,
to warm my freezing thoughts,
to cross my island of solitude,
tend my forest of dreams
stifled bt the weeds of hate.
look after my garden of desires
strangled by ropes of time.
water my pot of perpetual hope
scorched by the hot sun of fate.

i write to restore my love
of a world gone crazy
maddened by the hearts of men.
replenish my hopes
of an existence that lacks meaning,
a being that is of no essence.
to cut the ropes of time
and triumph,
to kill the weeds of hate
and grow,
to cool the sun of fate
and live to fight another day.


i write since i cant talk,
i remain silent
in my darkened room of hope.
i write since i cant share,
i clench my fist
in my island of optimism.
i write since i cant love,
i blind my feelings
in this universe fiklled with hate.
i write since am alive
breathing in my space,
of a world that knows no limits,
no bounds
and ultimacy.

I LONG FOR LOVE

i long for love,
pure, clean like a dove,
that would see me through
in the long days that are true
and the nights that are forever unknown.
that would quench my thirst
of the only thing i need first.
that would protect my passion
and clothe me in its changing fashion.
that would heal my ailing wounds
of a bleeding heart that is bound
with the choking ropes of desire.
that would rescue me from my drowning
in the raging waters of a river frowning
from a love denied.
that would hold my hand
when the taste of the world goes bland
and its joys blunt.
that would sit by me at noontime
and watch the sun till moontime.
that would guide me home.
to a burning fire that is warm
that calms the danderous monster of desire
and chokes the deadly weeds of solitude.
that would by me rest,
and make love in my nest
enjoying the chemistry that was best.
that would wake me up at dawn,
after a night that is long gone,
to look forward to a new day,
to keep worries at bay
and gleefully collect hay.
that would make me complete,
with the connection that is replete
to engulf my whole being.

RESCUE ME

who will rescue me from this prison,
of a life that lacks meaning,
of an existence that is hopeless,
of a being that is of no essence.
i walk miles and miles,
if only to find a better place,
to rest my heavy heart
and my down trodden soul.
what i find are bare lands,
drought ravaged plains,
and famine infested valleys,
of dreams scorched,
desires shattered.
i look ahead and see nothing,
i see no horizon of hope
no mirage of better days ahead.
i dare not look back,
for its filled with disappointment,
broken dreams
and lost opportunities.
i keep on trudging
with no desire at all,
i see people who fell by the way,
who could not stand the heat
who gave up
who said enough is enough.
i know that is not my fate,
to lie lifeless in my state.
my time is running out,
my curtain falling,
if somebody will not reach out
and rescue me from this prison.
