Love Quest.
Intense are the waves
Of feeling at it's best
My inside raves
Awakening and stirring my chest.
How my heart springs
Like a nestling around a nest
Trying to fly its wings
Why is this so beyond my behest?
Uncontrollable are my feelings
But with you my heart finds rest
In search of your lovely givings
Like the sunset I follow you towards the west.
You ended my love quest
Giving me a breath of new beginnings
For you my heart fills with zest
For the joyful moments this love brings.

He was a battered man. He was an old man. He was old, battered man. His name Oliver, he had a wrinkly face that seemed to have faced joyful as well as disheartening moments, cold nights and warm summers, weddings and funerals; all that life had to offer. His white beard now grew freely and was unkempt, giving the idea of a man who no longer cared what people thought of him.
Oliver carried an air of contention around him as he went by his days. He had managed to provide for his wife and his 4 kids as best as he could. He had done most of the things he wanted in his life, and even if there were a few left, there wasn't much he could do now. Recently a troubling thought recurred to him several times, what mark he had left in this world?
Though old on the outside, his soul had withstood all the battering that life had to offer and was young as ever. Always exuding confidence everywhere he went, he was the darling of the old as well as the young. Younger adults always sought his wise counsel. He unselfishly helped where he could. In him, children found a caring man and a playmate, who always made them happy.
Everyday, the thought kept crossing his mind. His children as well as grandchildren visited and he would play with them, but the thought wouldn't leave him. What impression would they have of him?
Oliver tried his best to conceal his feelings of dissatisfaction with himself, since he could have achieved more. He masked this by focusing more on his achievements. He also sought support from his family, though indirectly. It was hard to believe that this great man – to them he was, would ever doubt himself. Each day, the voice grew to more profound and thereby silencing all his other thoughts. It troubled him so much that he started wishing that he could die soon.
Once on a warm cloudy noon, he took a walk in the pine forest around his home. Some hikers walking nearby asked to take a picture of him and he made a face with his tongue sticking out. A breath of the fresh forest air quenched his old lungs allowing him to admire the life that he had lived. Not many had the happiness he felt. At once, he knew that he had lived a good life.

Death of a Heart.
Kind my heart was
as dandy as can be
until the good people
of the world,
flailed the virtue
off of it.
Thrown under 'twas
molars chewed the life
out of it.
Like tasteless gum,
out it was spit
onto the ground
underneath dirty feet and
Smeared of dirt and grime.
Unknowing,
I couldn't tell my crime.
Unheard were my cries
for help,
diminished was all my hope.
Meted out on me,
was punishment
of all sorts
for having a kind heart.
Bruised and sickly,
it finally took
the last breath.
The good people then
burried it
with the soil of
scorn and derision.
An unkind funeral,
with only one witness
in attendance.
It was no more!
A heartless man
I became
just a hole of nothing
where it used to be.

Love in the Shade.
In the tropical sun-heat,
in the cool shade of the mango tree,
hearts skipped a beat
and felt was a feeling so free.
Wiped were the unseen tears
that had flown so often,
the untold fears,
suddenly gone and forgotten.
It wasn't much to have
albeit being so priceless.
Treasured it was, love,
for it made life fearless.

The Long Wait
It was a breezy sunny afternoon. Joy had chosen a park bench near the tall jacaranda tree close to the center of the lush green park. The moderately strong breeze rustled the jacaranda branches dropping more indigo flowers to the ground than usual.
What a romantic scene? She thought to herself as she glanced at her watch. It was ten minutes past 3.00 p.m. She couldn't believe she had been waiting for the love of her life and her best friend, Mike, for twenty minutes already. It felt like ages as time seemed to drag more than usual.
Anger was starting to build up inside her, owing to the fact that she had waited three months for this day.
"Hey. I'm really sorry for making you wait so long."
A barritone voice spoke softly from behind her. She must have been so deep in thought that she didn't notice Mike walking up to the bench. She turned around and there he was, tall figure with a smile to kill, holding a bouquet of flowers out to her. Excitement took over her body as ran and tightly embraced him.
When they finally broke the long embrace, Mike brought out a speaker.
"I brought a wireless speaker. I really missed dancing to our song with you. I missed you so much."
He turned it on and slow romantic music rent the air. Another embrace followed, but this time they danced slowly to the rhythm of the music.
Joy couldn't mind the long wait, since the satisfaction she felt now seemed to have been worth it. The sun seemed to come to life and smile at them, cheering them on. More jacaranda flowers fell, but this time they had taken the shape of love hearts. If it had been up to her, she would have let that moment go on forever. At last, her love was here with her.

Golden Idea.
Forgotten is the past bliss,
Forgiven, all that's gone amiss.
My mind tries it's best
To work not rest.
High are the stakes
And many are the mistakes
Trying every day
Trying every possible way.
Doubts muted to a whisper
I drown myself deeper.
A swim here and a swim there
Which way won't I dare.
In the depths of this endless ocean of thought
My eyes look but see naught.
Dark and unforgiving
How I wish a ray were shining.
I long for a key to this lock,
A way past this stumbling block
For inside lies an idea so golden
It will only be mine when I'm wet and sodden.

Love in the Tropical Shade.
In the dying heat of the tropical sun
Under the cool shade of a mango tree,
hearts jumped up and down in joy and fun,
And they felt was a feeling so free.
Withered leaves shook in the wind and fell,
Soon forgotten were heartbreaks of the past.
If their souls spoke they could tell,
That this love was meant to last.
Wiped were the unseen tears,
Of the broken hopes that had flown so often,
their unsaid doubts and fears,
Were suddenly gone and forgotten.
As new leaves sprung from the branches
The lovers shared an embrace in passion,
And gleefully watched the expanse of the ranches
As they graciously enjoyed the overflow of pleasant emotion.
The wind stirred the grass and the dandelions,
And in their chests, hearts jumped and twirled,
Igniting the brevity and courage of the lions.
Now, they felt ready to conquer the world.
As the sun set in the horizon
They realized they would survive any future attack,
Since they had undying love as their weapon,
They just had to have each other's back.
It wasn't much to the eye to have,
albeit to the heart being so priceless.
A precious treasure it was, tropical love,
for it made one feel safe and fearless.

NEVER GIVE UP.
The lady with a baby on her lap
Said quitting is a trap.
Never give up
You still got to live up.
Life is an endless lap
Said the athlete after a nap.
Never give up
You still got to live up.
Life is an overflowing tap
That can drown or fill up.
Never give up
You still got to live up.
Life has no map
Even pilots just let it unwrap.
Never give up
You still got to live up.
Life will always be a death trap
The judge said to avoid any mishap.
Never give up
You still got to live up.
Life will always have a gap,
Between the good and the scrap.
Never give up
You still got to live up.
Only after you avoid the rattrap
Will life then cheer and clap.
Never give up
You still got to live up.

The War Within.
I am as dark as my skin can be
And my eyes black as a crow's
I'm as weak as weak can be
From all of life's blows.
I carry the dirt of a hoe
Within my strong but tired heart
I've a burden as big as can know
For my world is full of hurt.
I carry good and bad memories
And my past seems to resurrect
All of my life's worst stories
Every time I try to forget.
I carry with me a dark shadow
That seems to only scare and haunt
I wish to end it with bow and arrow
But the enemy would just laugh and taunt
I have within me an enemy
That will only fall when I'm dead
It's only as complex as alchemy
Looking for gold only to find lead.
I'm pursued by a troubled past
And my back only seems to bend
All my strength drained to the last
Oh when will it ever end!
