Everlasting

Walking on the sand by the bay,

Has left me with nothing to say

Looking towards the horizon

At sunsets that have come and gone

With every trip that I fulfill,

Time seems to stay at a standstill

Spring, a time where hopes are renewed

Roses bloom, ready to be viewed

Each petal kissed by the sun’s rays

Sights that’ll last till the end of days

With every small step that I take,

Clocks everywhere will quickly break

On the mountaintop, things are clear

Snow white peaks of a lost frontier

Such silence, such serenity

Simply translated as beauty

With each step, the higher I climb

Another myth will be formed, time

Far beyond our reach it lies in the sky

Daring some to touch it, to fly

The moon, a light in such dark times 

Creating hope, smiles, laughs, and dreams

Each time I gaze at its splendor,

Ticks and tocks seem to surrender

Then a moment comes into view,

Along with glee of every hue

Where you walk to me in a dress

As I smile without any regrets

With each step you take towards me,

Time finally kneels to beauty

The Connection

As my eyes stare at the bright screen,

I see it more as a machine

A chance to fulfill my wishes

For making each day momentous

When I see the pictures you post,

I unearth a reason to boast

Be it solo, with friends, family

Cause I see your face so clearly

Mere photos of you drive my days

I start grinning cause of your smiles

And your laugh tickles me inside

What else can I do but abide?

Refreshing the page frequently,

Waiting for your posts eagerly

Never missing one, day or night,

Just to be certain you’re alright

When we chat on for countless hours

Or when your comments flood posts,

I can not help but be smirking

Cause it’s like we’re almost talking

I signed out and lay on my bed

Dreaming of something new instead

The time I can have all these

While seeing your real face with ease

An Answered Prayer

Throughout the journey of mankind

An ancient story one will find

With simple, almost peasant, words

Yet in royal shelves it resides

In a small shack on its last breath,

Lives a craftsman who is near death

Abandoned by his own nation

Alone with his priced creation

A delicate paper lantern

Takes him little time to discern

With no shame his mouth will utter,

“Its beauty will last forever!”

From bamboo stalks its frame arose

That dance with wind in stunning shows

With grace that’s immeasurable,

Yet it’s sturdy, flexible

Every character and picture,

Does nothing to souls but allure

Brushstrokes wail with such potency

Nothing but our history

Tied to its frame is a prayer

That would make life a bit brighter

To be raised to the vast heavens,

While a nation waits for answers

Sadly the craftsman sulks and weeps,

For it’s time to cast the lanterns

Towards the limitless ceiling

To fully reach their life calling

After a few days have gone,

The lantern falls on a green lawn

On the tomb of its creator

To be with him forevermore

Stargazing

After closing another uneventful day

Overfilled with every possible shade of gray

I decided to gaze out my bedroom window

And greet the night sky to be rid of my sorrow

The night sky, its beauty and blackness undisturbed

hen suddenly, a shimmering white light emerged

Of a beautiful and radiant twinkling star

For me, the most beautiful I have seen by far

Its beauty is completely unexplainable

Strangely simple yet unattainable

No plain man can grasp it using a mighty roar

For its actual beauty lies in its core

As a precious treasure of every girl and boy

It bestows the world with countless amounts of joy

From playing, singing harmonious tunes and songs

To making our days with just truly humble smiles

Something about its nature’s truly mysterious

It lives among the white clouds and clear heavens

And I, bounded and shackled by Earth's mighty grip,

Yet it grants me its genuine bond of friendship 

A life without it, I can't truly imagine

It would be just another life not worth livin'

I would be a small ship, lost in an endless sea

Or a majestic eagle, denied to be free

When overfilled, with a river of joy and glee

I would be the happiest person I could be

When overcame and consumed by great pain and sorrow

I would crouch and weep like there is no tomorrow

Despite the star's overwhelming radiance,beauty

It is engulfed by the bustling urban city

Light and smoke, trap it in a suffocating ball,

Yet its dazzling light always shines through it all

Unfortunately, the star would soon be hidden,

For the blazing sun is about to be risen

I am not worried because nothing will be new

Because I have found a little stardust in you!
