THE RAIN REMINDS ME OF YOU
The rain reminds me of you
Every droplet signifies the
cleansing feeling you brought,
The dewey aftertaste that lingers
on the branches of trees
Aromatic fragrance after pouring
down putting an end to a dry spell.
The rain reminds me of you
Not because you only gifted me with
grief but of shedding a new light,
For the rain also symbolizes a
fresh frontier, a new beginning
The promise of growth after
sprinkling the Earth with Hope.
The rain reminds me of you
When I am at the pinnacle of my
love for you,
King Sun had to hide behind your
shadow and parted the clouds
To give way to your reign, to
showcase your enigmatic prowess
Leaving me in deep revelry,
embracing the moment.
You keep on flooding the ground
like the time when your charm engulfed my heart
You are like the cleansing rain
showers
That gives life to fragile valleys
and lonesome rivers
The antidote to a thriving stiff
mountain range
Bringing back lush greeneries to a
dull sanctuary
The rain reminds me of you
For our moments were captured in
every drop .

YEARNING SOUL
(a poem composed just after the
pouring rain)
my soul yearns for the nearness of
you
to hear your voice like a beautiful
melody echoing behind the darkness,
to have your hand fit into mine
to be lost in oblivion with only
you,
to look at the stars and marvel at
the moon
while talking about the Universe
and how you moved my heart
my flame yearns to unite with your
fire,
to ignite again the warmth of this
dying ember
to get lost in your eyes, to melt
with just a glimpse of your smile
the pilgrim in me yearns to have
you walk with me in my journey,
to put an end to a dark spell with
my thousand years of waiting for only you
my soul yearns for the nearness of
you.

SILHOUETTE
At a distant horizon my mind drifts
away
cascading shadows follow me
everywhere
even in my dreams where your
silhouette haunts me
your smile still lingers, those
eyes that seem to tell me I should stay
In the afterglow, I can still see
traces of splendid moments we had
Cut short by destiny as hearts kept
distance with words which remained
untold.
Your sultry silhouette haunts my
every breath
Succumbing to love's call even if
it will be against all odds
There is something about the way
you make this heart quiver
Always bringing me back to you no
matter how far I roam.
That wicked silhouette framing a
broken soul
Pierced my deepest core the moment
I had to let you go
But only time and destiny can
foretell if ever this yearning will lead me back to you once more…
