Last Stop- Paradise

Where do we go when we die?
Is it truly the last goodbye?
Do we become stardust again,
Or the essence of rain?
Do we become wistful memories,
Or the sweetness behind pain?
Do we become the grey beneath the colour,
Or the winter behind summer?
Or is it the other way around?
Do we go to the places beyond the horizon,
And fill the gap between the moon and the sun?
Is it us behind that double rainbow,
Or hiding in that evanescent firefly glow?
Do we truly even die?

Alleviate

The big picture is always there

But the little things are forgotten

To wake up in the morning

And see the first ray of sunlight

To venture out into the darkness

And catch a firefly
Lie down on the soft sand
listening to the waves whistling nearby

To fill yourselves with the aroma of the earth

To run in the fields of happiness

Like the blowing zephyr

To watch the sun fading

Into the zenith

To alleviate your suffering from worldly trifles

To live is to live with joy

To keep your mind awake,
yet enjoy every moment

For life is too short to be drowned
in a sea of worries

As each moment is a dewdrop

One touch and it vanishes.

Verse First ~ Writers are Lovers

There she stood,
staring blankly into space,
looking at the mountains,
that lined the empty grassland,
at a distance,
her ebony colored hair,
flying,
as the cool breeze
brought a smile to her berry red lips,
There she sat on the bare rock,
bringing life to it
by her mere presence,
her loveliness spreading an aura
of perpetual happiness,
here I am,
sitting at a distance,
unable to touch her,
only paint her picture,
as I fall hopelessly in love
with the muse who stands at a distance.

{I wrote this poem as an ode to several poets who I admire. This one is about a poet and his muse. )

An experiment

Note: This poem is not exactly very good or perfect. There are a lot of mistakes and stuff, but I wanted to see people's reaction towards it. Kind of like an experiment.When I got the idea for the poem, I just kept on writing and couldn't stop, so yeah the poem may sound a little incoherent or disconnected at places.
 Inamorata is an Italian word, I know, but it felt more appropriate to me to use Inamorata instead of Koibito.

Oh Inamorata

Look yonder

As the moon shies away at your sight

For there are no words to describe your loveliness

As the soft sakura kiss your cheeks

And the women envy your beauty

Why do you cry?

Standing solitary by the koi pond

Teasing the water with your fingers

Your head bowed down with the

Heavy weight of sorrow

With every step you take so gingerly

Your kimono sways like the gentle creek

Don’t cry inamorata

The earth sighs with your every tear

The birds weep as you exhibit fear

Fear what?

The wind carries the hearsay

Across the oceans

Through the deserts

Crossing the forests

Battling the darkness of the caves

Your sweet inamorata weeps for you mortal

Her beauty scarred by her love for you

She no longer thinks about the plants or stars

But she ponders over where you are

She no longer buzzes with happiness like the bees

But all day long she weeps and weeps

The grass tries to wipe away her tears

And the flowers try to cheer her up

But all day long she weeps and weeps

Return to her and hold her in your arms

Remove her pain with love as the balm

Stop hiding and come out

Of the box where you have

Suppressed your love for her

And tell her that you are forever together

The witnesses of your love are the winds and stars

And all those tears shed over so many hours

Only time can separate us

My heart, my love

So say the moon and the stars above.

When the winds blow

When the winds blow

And my mind flies

I feel like living a dream

I feel like soaring high

When the sun shines

And then there blows a warm breeze

It just makes me feel like I’m in a fantasy

It instantly alleviates me

Nature alleviates me

It removes all my fear and

Takes all my doubts away

Makes me feel alive

All this in this beautiful world

I can never deny

Anything in this beautiful world

So I hitch a star

And fly around the world

And no traffic cop to stop me

And I glide around this...

Beautiful world....
