THE ELUSIVE EMOTION

Miles and miles away,
She goes on and about,
Naive of the world beyond-
Exotic and a beauty to behold,
Coveted by many,
For it's resemblance to paradise;
Even when experienced in tiny,
It's still a reason to rejoice,
Yet she's blind,
Comatose and unaware,
Of the lurking joy, 
Just for her taking-
Enormous and inconceivable,
Sweeping one off their feet.
A force equally great,
To overpower a sturdy castle,
Deserved by the kind hearted,
For it's sheer magnitude-
The heart it's true abode;
Yet an elusive emotion,
To the few if not many.

MY SHIMMER OF LIGHT

I was once lost,
Lonely and torn apart.
My heart akin to a shell,
Empty and in shambles.
Thoughts unfathomable,
Inspiration inconceivable.
Then all was illuminated,
In a way unexpected;
For I found my star,
Compared to all brighter;
For indeed you're a gift,
A shimmer of light,
When all doesn't bode well.
I'm only but thankful,
To have you as a friend.

LIBERALIZATION (PART I)

My days are longer,

Over and over,

Creating a sequence,

Tying me down to my nuance,

Akin to a captive,

With an edge of a positive;

Perhaps because I can roam-

Freely in the realm;

With each step lost,

Deep in the midst,

Of my emotions,

Of fairly spooky proportions,

Hoping my wish,

Can liberate me from this mesh,

Sooner rather than later!
