It's not the alliteration, metaphor or even rhyme. It's the honesty, divinity and beauty that trounces to be a poem.

After me
Do not keep my things
close or closed
in your safe
for I've never wanted to be kept.
Give away
to the orphan kids down the road,
the ambience of my purple room
all colors of my walls,
my diaries, as if someone'll write
on the pages of me,
my chronicles, undone though
for I'd still want to be partially read,
that little girl with no power of speech
will probably sew up my stories
with never-told hers.
and the untouched fictions on my shelf
lying since forever,
maybe someone would read
those characters for me, to me.
Do not scruple while thee
accord my favorites,
the blue shirt,
the peach bag, so many bags, all the bags,
my un-tuned guitar, for
I'll play through some fine fingers.
Do not possess me
inside the walls of memories.
and give away
my dreams and hopes,
my stories and jokes,
my zeal and oddness,
my grin and happiness.
Do not hang me on one of the walls
when I'll still be everywhere,
in all the places I have ever been
in embraces of so many arms
in the always-proud-of-me eyes
in each tick of every clock
and in the shrill echoes
of my silence.
Do not keep me in your heart
for I'd still want to live out.
Do not bury me in a casket
and mourn when I die,
just burn me up.Take my ashes
and eat some,
spread some,
smoke some.

In times too bitter
or too smooth,
From people and cities,
We'll run bare feet
to fetch the clouds
and drown the waters,
to find peace in plights
and chaos in calm,
You surrender
your hand to mine
and I'll hide
my heart in your soul.
You tell me
what galaxy does
to keep the sun there,
and I'll show you
how ocean holds the sky.
You halt time for me
and I'll keep an eye on age.
We'll dematerialize
in the intangibility
of heavenly landscapes
and in the beauty
of vast emptiness.
You halt time for me
and I'll keep an eye on age.
We'll dematerialize
in the intangibility
of heavenly landscapes
and in the beauty
of vast emptiness.
In the spell of
unraveling the less traveled roads
We'll find life,
unraveling the less traveled roads
obsessing over hills and oceans,
breathing the uncivilized air,
or maybe, just
collecting shells on the shores,breathing the uncivilized air,
or maybe, just
We'll find life,
where no one lives.

In the shadows of thick leaves
under the split rays,
amongst the free wind
and white clouds,
I'll be breathing the freshness
of lilies and lavenders.
You'll never not know
where to seek for me,
for I'll be on the shore
beside an ocean,
conquering
my love and fear of waters.
or,
On a random picturesque,
I, for most be smiling
at the beauty of hills
and laughing
at the wilderness of civilization,
You'll never not feel
me, in the lonely hours
on dark winter nights
for I'll be in an empty corner,
unveiling the meaning of
love, life and peace.
You shall never lose me,
since always, I'll be
free as wind in the forests
handy as shells on the shores
nigh as clouds on the ridges
and deep as darkness of dusk
If you lose me still,
look for me in the poetry
and you shall always find me.

The enlightening nights
Maybe, if it was 18th again
or the inches of my body
be in right lengths and widths,
I don't want to grow
as old and as untimely
as I have been, or if
I was just capable of writing
all that never gets written,
why can't this stupid clock stop ticking!
An endless record of things gone wrong
surrounds me, as I keep tossing
in my unmade bed.
I wish I were in different country
since everything's wrong with mine,
in fact in a parallel universe,
is there any?
Maybe I'm here, in this one
to mend it, to give it more
than I can take.
I'm on to it tomorrow.
The things that can't be rightened,
followed by a zillion purposes
of life, for life.
Only if I survive the fan above me
in case it decides to plunge,
Would she cry if I die?
I told her,"We aren't friends anymore."
But nights were meant to sleep
this ain't anything like that,
also, mom promised, night sleep
could get my skin glowing
maybe that's something,
one thing that can be rightened.
And I'm back to sqaure one now.
This could go on and on
the umbras and penumbras
in the light of the night.
How much I wish though
it to go impossibly long
for night's still been kinder to me
like a noiseless friend
in the emptiness of hours
a hope
in the enormity of chaos,
flickering in the rays of darkness
black and deep,
like a brighter morning.

Astray
A few lot of eyes
speak for the people
who have lost you
in the process of finding you.
The only thing that can find you
on this dark winter night, is
the unmentionable,
inexplicable
an obscure feeling that
hasn't yet made it to any diction
but has made an immutable dwelling
inside you instead.
How it blankets you
with the immensity
of chills that can not be told
for no words would cooperate ,
so all you have is jumbled words
and no one to understand,
but you see
there's whole another world
they avow life on foreign planets,
would it be free
of love and war

you've enclaved yourself,
whereabouts of which are alien

but you have come a little too far,
too far to be found.

That's what being has been
Only when you search
till you find self
caged,
in two hundred something
of fragility and mortality.
Some light years away
must have you done something
horribly beautiful
to be here,
here in existence.
For nothing conceals
the glum eyes on happy face,
a shallow heart,
and empty soul.
For you couldn't be kept
from distortion
of bruised knees
cracked heels,
pimpled cheeks
cramped feels,
kindly so
not a thing irreparable,
that's what living has been
a mortal bod
of impairment and beaut
an expeditious age
of being to not being
a vicious lifetime
of warmth and hurt,
an endless trail
of hoping and healing.

Two generations feed on
one body of yours,
served for starve and lust.
You are made love to
sadly, sans making you feel loved
leaving thou empty yet
so much so it hurts
through each lump of every organ.
The touch of your own hand
more promising though
doesn't feel the same,
You've let men guest on you
for the fantasies of your love
you aimlessly accommodate
in and out
blood, bones and bodies,
till letting go
becomes forgetting and
forgetting becomes familiar.
You've been taught to hold on
till forever.
So you hold on
to being a woman
to being the stronger version of humanity.
