Let it burn!

Burn, burn, burn!
Burn marvelously!
That last spark before the silence
That bright, bright spark

Burn and be consumed!
The first and last chance
To truly have a meaning
After such a mundane existence

Lit up the void!
Let them forever remember
The brilliance of that last spark

Leave no trace behind!
One chance for meaningful life:
To return would be to suffer

Moving on...

And my friend,
The time has come
For me to move on
From this place we called home

I still had long miles to go
Long, long miles to go yet

Remember me for what I am
All my mistakes, all my laugh
May you cherish what I've given
For that is all that I have

And now it's time to part
My friend, miss me not
Hold a candle for my return
But if I never do,
My friend, mourn me not

May you always be happy
And remain in good health
With my love,

Fare Thee Well.....

Has the purpose been achieved?
Rejoice; the passion is rekindled!

Challenge! Haiku for a week - Day 6

Bring me beyond the starry sky
Exploring the darkness of space
Leaving the confines of earth behind

Challenge! Haiku for a week - Day 5

Anger and rage burns everything
Silenced hatred poisons from within
Feel nothing: Apathy is the way

A pen unused far too long
An impatient friend with a challenge
May the pen be revived!

Counter Haiku!

Forums and Message Boards
Egos and Anons Lurks
Like a Troll to a Flame


A counter to this.



Challenge: Haiku for a week - Day 1

Waiting for a bus
A lesson on the inevitable
Patience and Apathy unites.

An afternoon rambling under the midday moon...

Where is here,
And when is now?

For yesterday was nothing but a dream,
And today is tomorrow's forgotten memories.

Does eternity have an end?
Or is that just another illusion?

I shall reside in between everything and nothing.
For there shall I find,
The real illusion,
and the most deceptive truth.

Myself.

Silent Words

To even think
That words are no longer adequate

This thoughts and feelings
How can it be shared?

Wishing that you are here
To enjoy our silent gathering

At least, with your presence
I won't be alone anymore.

La Maison ~ A nostalgic beach house that was full of love, once

A beach house somewhere on caribbean

You can faintly heard the sound of the waves

or something that sounds like waves

Nighttime, two people sit together, watching the full moon in its serenity

"I wish moments like this can stay forever."
"I hope not."
"Why?"
"So I can treasure this moments much more than something that will stay forever."
"Ah, but you will wish that it will stay forever. Somehow, I knew it."
"......You're probably right about that. Nope, you're completely right."
".....But let's treasure this moment, for you are right, too. It will end, and it will be much more treasured because it may perish someday."

Cue to present

Standing alone in the now empty house, a faint whisper can be heard:

"I wish those moments can last forever....."

Fini



Inspiration: "La Maison" by Gabin.

Gotta hate those cloudy WEEKS.....

When the morning chill woke me up
to the gloomy gray of the day
I mourn for the sunlight
whose warmth I can not embrace

Remembering how to Laugh

A man with a heavy tread
With a somber expression
And a world-weary eyes
What goes on his mind?

Too bitter to smile,
Too weary to laugh.....
Is there anything left in the world
To live for?

Oh, how one forgot to laugh
When one possess the knowledge
Which strips the innocence
As useless naivete

And all of a sudden
Upon the face of a children
He might have found his answer

Full of laughter, they are
Free, unbidden, a beaming smile
Generously given to a weary stranger

As the man walks away
With a tiny smile of his own
And a rejuvenated eye
His face mirrored his thoughts

"Maybe I have to remember
How is it to laugh freely
So that I can remain humane
A little bit longer....."

Temporal State of Being

Nothing lasts forever, that's why I don't want to lose it
Nothing lasts forever, that's why I can treasure it
Nothing lasts forever, that's why there's no use to be emotionally attached to anything
Nothing lasts forever, that's why we have to enjoy what we have
Nothing lasts forever, that's why everything is meaningful and meaningless

We are temporal beings
What should we make of ourselves?
We will fade away one day
Do our self have any meaning?
What meaning should we grant to us?

I hate the last week at being home......

Keep on walking

There was a journey
Where you know that you have to keep on moving
Forward, always forward
Never one to look back, or to linger behind

There was a journey
When you know that it's time to begin something new
And to leave behind everything in the past
Be it good times or bad times

Keep on walking
Keep on moving
Everything's only temporary
Even if they feel so sweet

Keep on walking
Keep on moving
But what is this feeling
That compels me to stay?

The day when you know
That this is it; it is time to move on
Didn't you feel that you haven't had enough?
That you want it to last a little longer?

The day when you know
That on the future, you will say more goodbyes
than you can ever imagine it to be
Do you have the strength to go on?

Keep on walking
Keep on moving
They're all behind you now
And they're cheering for you

Keep on walking
Keep on moving
It's all that they wanted you to do
To keep on forward, never look back

Don't you think that they knew?
That they will be here only for a little while longer?
That they want to see you stand up on your own?
That they may never see your again?

Go on walking
Go on moving
But never forget 'em
The one that push you forward

Go on walking
Go on moving
And all along the way
Take their hand and pull them forward!


A journey to the uncertain future is always a hard one
Those we love will never be with us forever
We will love, we will say goodbyes, and we will love again

But never shall we be lonely
For we will be always be loved

No matter whether we can see them or not
They shall always be with us
Forever and always, until all of us meet again.

A meeting of three friends, who happened to be poets.....

Sky

The endless blue sky
Upon my window
The unlimited freedom
Where none shall return
Lost within the infinity

Dare I go there?
Forever free with no direction?

A heavy iron shackle
With its grim, cold chain
Welcome me to its warm embrace
A reassuring bond to the earth

But yearning, I will
A morbid curiousity
Torn in indecision

To fly unbound to the new world
Or to snuggle warmly at home,
Forever chained to comfort.

Desire

Not to be satisfied
But to be quenched

Not to be abruptly ended
But to be perpetually continued

Not to be released uncontrolled
But to be gently held

Not to be divine
But to be humane

For human beings we are
And thus, humanely we act
