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)
