-THE VENTURE OF THE SOUL-
When we close our eyes and gaze at the heavens beyond the sky,

we release our souls to go for
ventures in different universes that lie within us….
 and deep it goes into unknown galaxies wandering in
complete peace….as if it will never return
however, we must guide our soul and not let it lose its way
for then….
it will be lost, forever  

-A QUIET NIGHT-
When the moon shines….
there is a mist of silence in
the dead of night

There is nothing but silence,
a silence that is just an illusion of peace….
behind it, is chaos

But we shall enjoy the illusion,
since the virtue of reality is far too frightening

-REDEMPTION OF ONESELF-
we lose our spirit and wonder if someone
will find it….

alas, we forget that the only way to find ourselves
is, to look within us

it’s a pity how many of us fail to discover our true selves
simply because we don’t actively seek them out,
hence…. live with a fear of the unknown from within

-GUST OF MEMORIES-
You lay awake in the majestic night,
as the breeze of wind brings
memories of joy and misery,

and you lay there feeling every ounce of your emotions.

Furious anger, blissful joy

The crippling guilt and the exalted pride  

These emotions were the ingredients
to your soul how you dealt with them, forged the true You

fear not if you find yourself in the haze of evil,
since life will continue to teach you…
about, you.

-EMBRACE THE NOW-
what is it about the unknown
future that haunts us?

is it the cheerful lies we feed ourselves?
or the undeniable reality that
petrifies us?

and what is it about the past that haunts us?
nostalgia for what never was?
or the desire for what could have been?

it is astonishing how we can’t really
stick to any of them,

we often forget,
what was……it was
and what will be……it shall be

so one must cherish the moments they have,
until the past or future decides otherwise…….

-MYSTERIES OF MEMORY-
what charm there is in memory?
streamed with emotions…

be it a happy,
or a sad one
both come with tears,

they may warm you up inside,
or tear your heart apart

still…
they are beautiful as they are, and hold treasures of one’s untold tale,

……. Alas these souvenirs of the past make us weep

One should make memories along the journey,
for it is the only artifact
that stays…

it teaches us the most profound aspects of life, long after we have experienced the episode…
