Poetry – Page 14 – Elusive Silence

What is it that I seek

If I run really fast Why do I need to tell If I run very far Why is there an urge to yell If I write a love song, why does it need to be heard If silence is golden Talking seems absurd Why is there a constant need For approval from another The incessantContinue reading “What is it that I seek”

In your light

Life breaks all rules when I grasp it in my hand It slips away with ease Like a million grains of sand I run so hard to catch up But it’s always two ahead I wander lost in the streets Looking for it’s thread And then I catch a glimpse Of it’s brilliance in yourContinue reading “In your light”

Dawn breaks The earth stretches The sky unfolds slowly The dew drops sigh The trees stir And the sun starts Its slow journey across the sky I wake up from my dream Of being home with You I jump up ready I need to get home No time to waste I have to finish whatContinue reading “I need to get home”

Giving you to you

You look at me with such love And admiration in your eyes You think that I am special And you believe that I am wise You take my word for granted And follow what I say You don’t refute my point Easily you sway How do I tell you gently I am no matter ofContinue reading “Giving you to you”

To be still

I watch the rushing waterfall Racing down the mountain I gaze upon the dancing waves As if a massive fountain I marvel at the dancing flames Wondering where is their beat I feel the rush of the winds Running on invisible feet In their rushing movement I see a steady anchor In their frenzied dancingContinue reading “To be still”

I

Boundaries and definitions Shapes and forms What if I do not fit What if I don’t conform Masks and veils Shells and shields What if I don’t cover What if I just yield Culture and traditions Rituals and prayers What if I don’t follow What if I don’t care Ideas and theories Notions and beliefsContinue reading “I”
