Caffeine Holiday

How many cups of coffee did you have today? 
I had 3. 

The first cup regards the weather
Of morning commutes and things to ponder
A day of inquiries and piles of paper
Taking up some space and breathing after 

The second cup has a strong taste
Like a friend's face that holds up a tear
An afternoon of task lists and haste
Moving forward and still, breathing after 

The third cup is a dreamy cosmos
Of collecting stars and earning scores
The blend rings a reminder of tomorrow
Breathing still and palpitating more 

And if the dark sky makes the night cold
Another cup, another story must unfold
I'll ask "How many cups of coffee did you have today?"
I mean, "How do you gauge your day?"

a stellar deception

The stars that you see are dead The sky you stare at does not lie Your eyes see the light's sparkle But not the years it travelled by You wish and hope for music You long for some sweet melody "The song needs your poetry" That is what was told to me But The song needs words I cannot weave My poetry is not the sword To the shield of your melody The stars do not shine at all And oceans do not have a line I could just write you a poem But I can never write you a song (Because suspicions and doubts always thrive on the surface)

Love comes in small batches

Love comes in small batches of torn, crumpled papers stained with perseverance and midnight breakdowns Love comes in heavy bundles of endless calls for survival in a cutthroat jungle dressed as fondly romance Love comes in empty halls that keep the years and filled with unfillable spots donning its own light Love comes in crowded rooms through some piercing looks and warm breaths dictating the atmosphere (or utmost fear) Love comes in a cup of coffee that stirs the tranquility of a holiday morning until the last drop drips off from your second cup

The wishings of a wanderer

I search where the salty breeze is coming And it always pulls me back on my shoulders   With the force of a wave Now... Its delight has me yearning Always But its curse, just like the sea, is timeless   I search where the dusty road is leading And it always gets my heart in a tremble With the sound of the drum Before... Its sight had me wishing Everyday But now, the horizon is far from reach   I search for how my soul is feeling And it keeps me on edge of wonder With the will to drive Beyond The far north, the shining east In the cold south, feel the autumn breeze Soon, not now I yearn to conquer What my heart wishes to wander (A poem that I submitted to and was posted on Lavender Poet's Official Facebook Account)
