ENTWINED

God fashioned from his image & likeness thousand of souls
Each will know…
Each will discover…
What LIFE and LOVE is all about..

Then emerged two souls from multitude..
Oblivious of each other’s existence
Unaware of each other’s predicament
Little did they know…
Their lives would be…entangled

One soul came to be…he went through storms and flood
He was wet all over-drenched in the rain
His feet soaked in the mud
He was tired and weary
But no- he never gave up and continued his journey…

Along the way a heart saw him in distress
She came and took him from the mire
He recuperate- she followed him
They were together before they knew it…

Another soul came to be…she was young yet buoyant
About life and its complexities
When she learned to walk on her own
In her delight, she forgot to wear her slippers on

She traversed through grassy grounds
Barefooted- she took each step boldly & undaunted
She played through hurdles and blocks
Carefree & lighthearted- she savored each joyous moment

In the middle of the fun
She felt a sudden tingling sensation under her feet
A pain so incomparable that numb her
A sharp object punctured her sole

Misty-eyed, she stopped walking
Her feet now bleeding
How could she not noticed?
How could she be so blind?

She looked at the path
She has traversed
It has been a long journey
And what is ahead is inconceivable

She suddenly felt lost
She never felt this alone
She now felt empty
Her mind opened to reality

How she had wished to go back
How she had wished to never took that road
How she had wished she knew
The thorns and spikes that lies ahead

She continued, now slowing down her pace
For the first time she had seen a different view
She had never noticed how the stars
Shone before or catch a glimpse of the moon

She had only look at how dark her pathway is
She had only felt the chill, the dread, the fright
But behind that she failed to recognize
The mellowness, quietude, & stillness that lies within

She glanced at her side
That one soul came to be
That one soul came unnoticed…
That one soul she hadn’t known

They were intertwined- their lives are
They looked at each other as if
Finding love the first time
It was like a bolt of lightning…
Striking them at their very core

They were caught unaware

They moved on-

But unsure where this road leads them

No one knows...

Until then-

What their hearts know

Is that their lives will always be...

Entwined.

BENCH

I thought she was the usual gal...

But in her simplicity

She exudes more than what the naked eyes could see

In her forbearance, she radiates what

Real beauty is...

She is bench...Silent...Deep...

Some people might termed her as exceptional.

Young, yet accomplished

But she has always displayed humility

In all her works.

Recognizing a greater power above.

She may be tough outside,

But when she's on her own

She is like a baby

Wanting to be cradled...wanting to be wanted...

She is like a child- feeble...fragile...

When hurt she would come running

Home almost always bleeding.

She has grown numb...

She may be brilliant in equations and formulas

But not when it comes to problems of the heart.

It is her weakest area

It would take another heart- with all its pureness

and sincerity

To engulf all her insecurities...

A loving heart that is...

Who could see beyond her

Imperfections and flaws

...A heart who could see through her.

That's bench...

BEFORE SUNSET

This is a love story, an original composition with a twist- read on...





It's 5'oclock in the afternoon

The sky is pale gray

Sending signs of a bad weather

It felt heavy...


Heaven may have felt my excruciating agony

Heaven may have heard my silent cries

The clouds may have hidden themselves

Behind the layers...


Their time was up.

They already had enough

Too display their usual grandeur

It was time to retreat...


A sudden surge of tears stream down my face

Putting a halt to my thoughts

Then a soft breeze blew my wet cheeks

It came to me... 5.15pm- not too bad.

The sky was now painted with colors of tangerine and pale yellow.


My heart leaped

I knew I had to hurry up

I had to see her before dusk

I had to meet her before darkness envelop the night

I had to...I need to...before the angels close their eyes

Or before the stars appear on sight

I had to tell her...before the sun kiss the horizon

Before the sun hides its glaring face...before the sun ever sets...


Indeed, I was on time

She was already there...sitting on the familiar bench

Staring from afar with that pretty face now tear-stricken

She was still lovely as that day

We first met

Incomparable...I have never seen such a beauty

The prettiest sight heavens might have missed

I was love-strucked...

I knew from that day on

She will dwell inside of me.


She did...


I am what she has made of me.

If there is such a place splendid than Paradise,

It would be in her arms.

If there is such a life beyond this

It would be in the silent and serene

Reality that I had loved her

More than love itself...

Nothing could ever conquer it.


The clock of life must have stopped ticking,

The wheel of time must have stopped spinning,

But not the rush of emotions-

Of deep longing...

Of intense yearning...


I can't seem to move from where I was standing

My feet were heavy

As if weighed down with fetters...

I was inches away from her

But we were like worlds apart.


I found myself sitting next to her

A cold shiver run through me

It's 5.40, yet the sun was still hanging in there

As if not wanting to bid goodbye

Even if it knew, it had to go for a while...


Heaven must have known...

Heaven must have understood.

The sun would not set

Unless IT IS FINISHED...


I looked at her

I wanted to kiss her until

We couldn't breathe anymore.

Her warm embrace caresses me

As if not wanting to let go...

I missed her...so much...


How could I tell her

To free herself from the misery.

That I was sent from heaven

And now my time is up.


Like the sun, I too must set

I, too must find repose

I, too must rest...


Then a little child came to her.

With three white roses in her hand.

Shocked, she held it slowly

Wondering where in heaven

It must have fallen.


With a gesture, the child whispered,

"From a man in white...he told me

to give those roses to you..."


And she knew it.. she understood..

She wept like she never wept before.

I wept with her...only in silence.

In a soft but clear voice

She uttered, "Sweetie, I can't see the sun anymore.

I know it's time for you to go... I'm letting you go..."

"I know these roses are from you.. I love you still"

"I know you are always here... with me."


I stared at he sky...

The sun has already set.

It would be another long dark night.

But not in the place where

I supposed to be.


I knew this lifetime isn't the end

Like every dusk has its dawn.



Tomorrow the sun will rise

In his perfect time...It will never have to set again...
