Words Unheard......

I wish you had called... or left a message on the wall...

2011-07-05T13:49:00.000-07:00

There was never a day
When your thought didn't cross my mind
Sitting and waiting at the window
I was hoping to see you this fall

I wish you had called...
left a message on the wall...

Like the notes you left me on the table
or the ones you pinned on the refrigerator
I hoped to see your message on the dusty car window
or maybe a letter.

For once, I wouldn't have told you off
for painting a graffiti in our backyard.
I would write back to you
and re-read your post cards.

Cherishing every word
Living every moment you describe
I could go on reading
the letters that you type.

I could smile a while
and wait a little longer
While you return
our love could grow stronger

Havin' a good laugh at you silly yet cute handwriting
I would decode your encryptions
I'd take my time to understand your letters
Sometimes complex as medical prescriptions!

And while you are off duty
for a moment if you get lonely,
Just close your eyes
and remember me.

Remember that

there is someone who's waiting
for that one phone call.
Waiting to read

just a message on the wall

Rising from the ashes

2010-05-14T11:09:00.000-07:00

A poem I wrote some two years ago...

There were moments of insanity
there were moments of frustration
there were paths that were painful
there were points of no return.

I've been on one way lanes
where I couldn't turn around
I've stood on edges of cliffs
where there were valleys deep down.

I've walked on barren lands
trying to find the horizon
when I looked around for water
all I found was.... poison.

I've slept underneath the stars
and I've also borne the rain
I've withstood the scorching heat
In return I got more pain.

There were times I thought
in an ocean I would drown
But He dragged me to the shore,
turned to smiles, my frown.

He revived me
when I stopped breathing
He consoled me
when I cried.
when fears lead my way,
I let Him be my guide

I've been through hell and back
I've seen the darkest hour
Still i saw rays of hope
And felt His miraculous power.

Let fate have the last laugh today
let it taunt,let it mock
But one day I'll rise from the ashes
and stand solid as a rock!

Don't...

2010-04-27T13:47:00.000-07:00

Don’t bring me back
When I slip out of your mind
Do not even try to resolve
This mystery undefined

I am not your way
Don’t follow me.
Our lives were forked
and divided forever by destiny

I am just like the dust in the wind to you,
just another brick in the wall.
Don’t reach out to me
If you ever see me fall.

Don’t miss me
when I am gone.
Don’t try to put right
the things you did wrong.

Don’t bring those flowers to my grave,
don’t come to see me on my deathbed.
Don’t whisper those fake words
If you have not a tear to shed.

I never meant a thing to you
and perhaps never will
We were here not to be together
only a Purpose to fulfill

Erase me out of your life
I don’t wish to leave behind a sign
Not at least on something
that was never mine….

I keep walking on...

2010-01-17T08:42:00.000-08:00

Don't know where my home is...
Don't know where I belong,
Yet I keep walking on
I keep walking on...

With nobody for company
except the dust kicked up by own feet
I take a step further
With every heart beat.

Perhaps running from people
Maybe from melancholy
Trying to escape fears
or maybe evading 'me'

Calling out His name
I hum a certain song
A few miles down the lane
And then I'll be gone.

Heading towards nowhere
I drag my feet along
I keep walking on
I keep walking on...

Anything to be with You

2009-11-21T06:06:00.000-08:00

The Light that guides me is You..
The force that drives me is You
What are then these mountains that intimidate me??
If a hundred storms lead to You,
I'd embrace them too!

When everything fades away....

2009-10-23T11:57:00.000-07:00

Nothing under the sun
is hear to stay
everything like vapor
will some day fade away...

As mortal life ends,
we all head to the grave
as it lay open
for the weak and the brave

That 'love' is volatile
which from a heart, disappears
Yet that is the 'love' we chase
The 'love' that only brings tears..

Promises are broken
and so are hearts
memories that stay behind
seem like painful darts

But as the wind blows away
all the earthly dust,
I return to the place
where I found You first

Where seasons never change
and rivers never run dry
Where You reside
in the heaven so high.

-PJ

Aye Aye Father!

We've got a long way to go
Before you close your eyes,
before you fall asleep.
There lay oceans to cross
for our mighty ship.

Storms would ensnare us
and as the tide rises against us,
the wind may break our sails.
remember one thing
My li'l sailor
My strength never fails!

You don the captain's hat
and steer the ship's wheel
while I make a way
amidst the angry winds,
look how the waves kneel.

So why do you worry
when I am with you
oh li'l sailor?
For the winds and tide may change
but My love will always be upon you
and I will stay the same forever.

"Aye Aye Father!"
said the sailor..
And to salute, he raised his hand.
"Let's begin our journey
to the other side of the ocean
towards our golden land!"

"And even if I falter a hundred million times,
nothing will ever break us
And our ship will sail through..
For I believe in You oh Father
for I believe in You!!"

His words I hear....

2009-07-01T00:51:00.000-07:00

Don't you cry, oh heart
so little, so weak
I have given to you
all that you seek.

I've seen your troubles
and heard all your needs
Just hang in for a while
Till the tide recedes

No enemy can even touch you
When I am here
Where my power reigns
and trembles fear.

I will not let you stumble
or face defeat
Be still and you'll find me
In every heart beat!

Nostalgia!

2009-05-25T03:14:00.001-07:00

I've seen her many times
but never like this before
as I drew back
she began to chase me all the more

On a summer night
she felt like freezing cold
She came like a tune never heard
like a story never told!

She took me to the past
she got me enticed
With those big blue eyes
she got me hypnotized

I tried to escape her
in the darkness of the night..
but even before I could flee..
she held my hand
and gripped me so tight!

(Feeling nostalgic....like never before!)

Where did you all go?

2009-05-07T09:08:00.000-07:00

Where did you go?
Oh where did you go?
Li'l drops of rain..
Li'l flakes of snow?

Where are the mountain tops
I wished to shout from?
Where did those dreams go
which once where my home?

Where's the gentle zephyr
that gladly chased me,
as I ran like a kid
through the fields, trying to flee.

Oh you raging sea!
Did you wash away my castle?
Or was it broken apart
in the storm so cruel?

Where are the tiny birds
and where is my rainbow?
Where are the seasons?
Where did they all go?

The sun's aint here..
when's already dawn
is it playing hide and seek
or is it already gone?

Come back you li'l raindrops
Come back li'l flakes of snow
Come back to me before
my head rests on death's pillow..

At the corner of the road....

2009-03-26T04:14:00.000-07:00

On a crowded street,
you may not see her.
Amidst worldly noises
her voice,
you may fail to hear.
But out in the cold,on the street where it snowed..
she'd wait for you
at the corner of the road.

Your mind may be too burdened
to have her thought.
Her picture might struggle to
find a place in your heart.
But out in the cold,on the street where it snowed..
she'd wait for you
at the corner of the road.

(pic courtesy:www.deviantart.com)

You may leave her
alone on the shore.
You may walk out
slamming the door.
But out in the rain,on the street where it poured..
she'd wait for you
at the corner of the road.

But at the end of the day
when the sun goes low
At the darkest hour
when strong winds blow....
if ever you wish to be with her again...
Just take a look around you....

For out in the cold,on the street where it snowed
Underneath a light
that never grows old....
she'll be waiting for you
at the corner of the road.

I see You everywhere I go...

2009-03-11T00:01:00.000-07:00

Sometimes...

You are like a li'l butterfly

resting on my hand

Sometimes...

In the cloudy skies You appear

As a coloured band...

Sometimes..

Your face shines

As the morning sun.

Sometimes..

You glow in the sky

as the radiant moon.

Sometimes..

Turning into a star

You wink at me.

At times

You become the blanket

I sleep under peacefully.

Sometimes...

You are the sound

of the waves crashing on the rock.

Sometimes...

You appear at the door

As the most awaited knock.

Sometimes...

You are like the

smell of earth after the rain

Sometimes...

You are the antibiotic

that heals the pain.

Sometimes...

You are the hen

that gathers her chicken

Who covers them with her wings

and protects her children.

Sometimes...

I see You

in the sweetest smile.

You are the reason

to walk that mile.

Sometimes..

You sound like

the notes of music.

Sometimes...

You make me laugh...

Through a cartoon flick.

And then sometimes

As I fall asleep...

I find You gone..

I see an empty lane...

But right then in a gentle kiss..

I find You again

I find You again.

This feeling of Love...

2009-03-01T21:02:00.000-08:00

Hold me, Oh hold me
Like never before.
Let me drown in you
Let my heart soar

Where were you
Oh you beautiful feeling
What took you so long?
where were you hiding?

A gentle breeze
brushed against my skin,
When in my life
you first walked in.

(picture:www.deviantart.com)

I found you on my way
As I walked alone
When the world forsook me
When I was forlorn.

And now I walk with love
My merry soul sings
As an old chapter ends
As a new one begins.

I live a blessed life
showered from above
One which knows nothing
but only love.

(This is the first time ever since I started writing poetry, that I haven't written a poem in 3 months!!...that's like long time...lol:P)

Me....

2008-11-22T03:45:00.000-08:00

There's more to me
than what you see.
behind a quiet face
lies a sea of insanity.

I am
like those feelings,
that find no expression.
like those few words,
that have no definition.

like...
The depth of the ocean
you never discovered.
Like those mountain tops,
Which were never conquered.

Like...
those fine and tiny
grains of sand,
which when held, find a way
and escape through your hand.

What you think of me
might be just your imagination.
For that might be a mirage
perhaps just an illusion

Dont go by my looks
For looks can deceive.
The truth is not always
what your eyes perceive

Yet I am, like the rest
just a face in the crowd.
A tiny dot on the earth,
A perfection that is flawed.

Do not try to find me,
Do not understand me.
Let me be a secret,
let me be a mystery.....

On a wing and prayer....

2008-11-14T00:40:00.000-08:00

He keeps his face to the sun
he hopes,
it will be better.
He knows he'll survive
on a wing and a prayer

Like a sturdy mountain,
he stands unfazed
in the face of rough weather.
He knows he'll survive
on a wing and a prayer

He'll find his way
around giant rocks
As does flowing water.
He knows he'll survive
on a wing and a prayer

He'll break free
from those mighty shackles
He'll break the tether.
He knows he'll survive
on a wing and a prayer

For he who looks up to Him
and hangs on to faith,
will be blessed forever.

He will survive ......

on just a wing and a prayer.

(During World War One airplanes were still a novelty and untested in war. A "wing and a prayer" was first uttered when an American flier came in with a badly damaged wing.

His fellow pilots and mechanics were amazed he didn't crash. He replied he was praying all the way in. Another pilot chimed in that "a wing and a prayer brought you back."

that is when the phrase..'wing and a prayer' originated.)

Close your eyes, keep your mind wide open....

2008-11-03T05:43:00.000-08:00

Close your eyes
and look at the world.
Its full of magic,
here, mysteries unfold.

You can fly if you want,
You can catch the stars.
Build castles of gold
and gates of silver bars.

You can dance with angels
You can hold their hands
You can dine with fairies
carrying magical wands.

You can hop on the clouds
Go for a ride.
With the sun gleaming at you,
and the moon by your side.

So dream a dream
you'd want to live
For everything could be yours
If only you believe.

Close your eyes
keep your mind wide open
Live your fantasies
before you awaken.

......was inspired by the quote "Close your eyes keep your mind wide open" in the movie 'bridge to terabithia'...and the movie itself.....

Someday......

2008-09-22T08:00:00.000-07:00

Someday you'll see,
the love behind those eyes.
That they weren't lying
you will realise.

someday you'll value
the words she said.
For they weren't mere letters,
they bore her heart beats instead.

Someday you'll feel
her gentle kiss.
when your lips are parched,
in search of the perfect bliss.

Someday as you walk,
you'll long for her footsteps.
You'll miss those imprints in sand,
In your loneliness.

Someday her single tear
To you,would mean a lot.
When She'd be away, defeated
in the battle she fought.

Someday you'd wish,
you hadn't walked away.
That she'd still be with you
by your side, this day.

getting started!

Although I am not much of a poet i do like writing and reading poems.When I started blogging,my first post ever was a poem.So instead of leaving this blog to die with no posts on it....i thought of getting my blog started with a poem too.Here's a blast from the past;)...i.e. one of the first poems on my first blog 'the seventh world' And of all the poems that i've written,this one still remains close to my heart....

A night of broken dreams and the morning after...

She thought she’d hug him,
When she meets him…
She’d cry in his arms
And never leave him.

She'd whisper in his ears..
tell him that she missed him.
and he'd whisper back to tell
that he felt the same.

He'd strum the guitar
and play her favorite song..
she'd hum to the tune..
and swing along.

There wouldn't be lights.
only the moon would glow..
there won't be anyone around
except their own shadow.

They'd then walk alone
on an empty street..
silence alone would be talking
leaves kissing their bare feet.

But little did she know
there was a twist in the tale..
that she"d go terribly wrong..
that her plan would fail.

In the midst of nowhere
she was standing all alone;
facing the reality
where she was forlorn.

Someone had smashed
her rose tinted glasses..
the ground beneath her feet slipped..
her world reduced to ashes.

She took a while
to pick up the pieces..
'coz it was ages since
in a desert , she found an oasis.

It was a night of a broken dream
that left a taste so bitter.
But the night she knew would pass.....
she feared..... the morning after.

this is where i blog.....
