It seemed too daunting to walk through thick forest
Guided only by dim moonlight without stars scattered in the sky
With every crackling branch and rustling leave,
The night air got heavier and so were your legs
You stopped for a minute or two,
To understand where you were in the deep forest
Right at that point you could feel your companion was standing next to you,
when an owl howled unexpectedly and the eerie silence was broken
Both of you were too shocked
That the togetherness between you and her was also broken
You stepped away, she stepped away,
Yet you were the only one who tripped and hit the ground
It was a minor fall, but somehow the compass managed to slip out of your hands
How fast and how far did the compass run?
Just in a split second you were unable to catch a sight of its existence
And where did she go, your companion who were beside you all along?
Did she run for the compass? Probably
You were trying to get back on your feet,
When another howl rolled into the silence
You fell once again, now a little dizzy, you stayed there and rested
Eyes closed
A minute passed, you opened your eyes and got back on your feet,
Ready to run to your compass and your companion
Yet nothing is to be seen
Not even trees, leaves and branches
Not even stars. Not even moonlight
Not even your compass. Not even your companion
Pitch black
It is uneasy to move around in darkness,
To look for your compass and your companion,
Because you have no understanding of where you are going
But you persist in moving and notice that,
When your compass is not there,
When your companion is not there,
To help you navigate through the darkness,
Maybe it’s time when moral compass comes in handy

Gravity
Why
Why does she have the tendency
To let her heart linger on him
As if he were the sun
Which is orbited by planets
When he is obviously not, yet somehow
His charm is as great as the sun’s gravity
An equation, which is arguable
But might be undeniably valid, because
As sun’s gravity keeps everything in place
His charm is the only force in the universe
Which can hold such great energy inside her heart
His charm is the only force in the universe
Which can keep her heart gravitating to him

Oscar
Every person who is walking in this earth
Should receive an Oscar for
Best Actor or Best Actress
As they maintain to hide whatever they feel inside
And master to act the role which is written by society
So, please, please hand them their Oscars
No, not the leading role
It’s the supporting one

Forget
A man was sitting in a room
With papers scattered on the floor
Hours passed by, yet the papers remained untouched
The clock ticked louder and he was suffocating
Walls were ready to fall right on his head
‘Time out!’ he yelled
It’s time for him to unwind
He decided to go for a walk
This walk was intended to be a short one
Yet he made a detour in every intersection
Not satisfied with every corner of the city
He hailed a cab, went to the suburb
Hitch-hiked up to the nearest city
Another suburb, another city, another suburb, another city
The walk was supposed to be a short one
Yet it goes for days, weeks, months and years
Scattered papers are forgotten
So is his room, his apartment—together with
His woman and his little child
They are forgotten

Shiver
She doesn’t see it, never will she
Yet she believes in its presence
‘I mean, how can I not believe in angel?’ she said
During the chilly nights
When sheets and blanket are all she has
Without walls to protect her from the wind
Without mattress to comfort her after long days
She feels safe and protected instead
Since she believes that there’s
A pair of wings which always wraps her tightly,
Holds her gently and keeps her warm
She feels safe and protected instead, because
Her belief doesn’t let her shiver

Light
This city twinkles more and more
As they turn the lights every night
To light the city, to lighten one’s heart
This city twinkles more and more
And I hear them praying
‘May these lights
Bring a piece of mindfulness
For every soul who look at it
From above the sky and
Bring them the strength to
Deal with whatever they have left down here’

Blue
Everyone hides their blue
Blue is hidden until no one notices
The little footprints it left behind
When you pay enough attention
Maybe you could track it though
But when someone does notice
Blue is the main attraction
For only a minute or two
Since they see blue
As a mere object
Only to look at
Only to talk about
For a minute or two
Not to be understood

Little Boy
There is this one little boy
Sitting in a carriage with his eyes popping
Left and right he sees
Looking at everything which catches
His attention, his big eyes
His mind never stops wondering
Imagination is his strength
This quite ride, this long ride is the perfect time
For him to create a narrative about the world he sees
So tell me little boy
How do you narrate this reality we live in
Would you describe it as a beautiful and bright world
As bright as your popping brown eyes
Or would you rather describe it as a tainted world?

Enchanting
In the world full of competition
A soul which is devoted solely to be a surrender
A surrender to Him
Is enchanting

Radiates
We meet too many people
And fortune doesn’t seem to be on our side
We are left alone with The Beatles
While thinking of this idea which we might abide
‘You, yourself is enough’
Yet frail hearts don’t want to obey
It remains still in the crowd
Radiates every passer-by with golden light
Beams every alley with kindness
