Lighthouse Ends

Not every road leads to light.

Some lead to lighthouses that echo of haunting dreams.
Dreams that crashed along with the waves on the rocks beneath.

The sky that thundered and rained dismantled memories.
Memories that waved goodbye each time to the shore when they reached.

Some roads lead back to trespassed boundaries like a ship stuck in a storm.
Either you drown all over again, or revisit your very own stage with a new song.

An Illusion-ed Truth

It's a damp darkness here,

all the laughter has died away.

Chained to an invisible sadness, 

a shadow hovers above in grey.

Crossroads cross too often,

I forget the many milestones past.

This path is so full of dust and grime,

the tears are the rain of the wrath.

Crimson hues scattered on pages,

the winds sing a dirge.

Sunlight has been victimized,

comprehension has been cursed.

What does the grave say, I wonder,

as it speaks in cunning tongue.

But life has been a jackal all along,

sparing its smirk to none.

It appears a dark comedy has made its mark this lifetime.

The entire illusion of meaning has committed all the crime.

The Farewell

A blazing afternoon when
the brown of your eyes
thaw into speckles of 
reflected gold and hazel

I long to look and
keep looking as the hazel
reflects my own image
in your view.

I long to see, a deep seated love
that dissolves like wisps
and spiralling circles
to conjure a dream.

I long to see a desire burn
to capture the moment
in fleeting seconds
twinkle in those wells of infinity.

Yet, all I can muster up to look at,
is a furtive glance of your visage
that tells me it's time for noon to descend.


It's time for farewell. 

Permissible

I can see it has got cold,
the winds blow between these miles.
Let me transcend the distance.
Let me be your sunshine.

I shall always brighten the dark
with my little flame of hope.
Let me borrow from your sadness.
Let me instill the strength to cope.

Every time the full moon shows,
and the clouds give way,
let me come closer to you.
Let your heart towards me sway.

In times of despair when you are deserted,
even in a crowd you feel alone,
let me be your one companion.
Let me build you a home.

I know it isn't easy
to believe in others' dreams.
Let me be your reality.
No matter how hard it may seem.

The past doesn't always repeat.
Minutes keep ticking, people run.
But let your heart trust me.
Just let me love you once.
