A galloping horse
a verse of force
defiance
to emotion’s nuisance
letting go
defying inhibitions
holding on
is also defiance
damn if you do
damn if you don’t.

A waterproof mascara
is all she ever wanted.
The smears and the smudges
when lipstick has been spotted
In a bag that was opened
when caution was halted
The kiss that was planted
on your shirt that was haunted.

If emotion is my inspiration
should i still fancy you
When it turns me red
and color me blue
And if colors are my investments
then i would have been a rich man
but what’s the use of millions
if sadness is my minion.

Adrift in the vastness of you
Questions i refused to view
A lifeboat coming to my rescue
Still drowning in a sea of blue
And even if the answers
were thrown my way
i still stay adrift
and stray some days
for all i see
is a splash of waves
bitten and enslaved
by a powerful stingray.

Where’s my planner?
Do i still need it?
How about my hammer
so i can nail it
To look ahead
get out of my bed
Prepare and be aware
and learn to read
That life is not a book
that was printed in advance
or carved in stone
can’t change what’s on hand
So i look up in the sky
pray and do my share
appreciate that falling star
sit on that empty chair
on which i alone
can fulfill the purpose of my soul
while others are making plans
when i’m resting on my home.
