Photo Friday: Smooth

Clash!

leaves split, travel in light speed
as it hums a reflected bright beam
gushing lines in a heartbeat
it skips and serenades
to look further down the parade

ahead the lights
wormholes of the night
the wee in glancing and in non-stopping
smoothly voyaging
threading its own sight

as an awe of ray
cast the fumes away
as the shadows of red
pass and burn and palpitate

chasing the light
unalterable coalition
a union of souls

not hearing
but feeling their ply
to touch and grasp in eager flight

set the castings ablaze
into the valleys
into a sky bent upwards

waves of the horizon
fluidifies -
a buoyant delusion
thoughtless rapidly leaving a sign

Clash!

a façade of raging lines
racing to nowhere
outlining the sky
as they meet
multi-souls entwined.

and i gasp

bear witness

and watch.

Photo Friday: Red

Longing

You walk by the distance
i stare as you pass by, in my seat,
just holding your memory instead,
in my sight, in my spirit, in my head.
your shadow moving, i glimpse
but what i saw are only remnants
of you being there, being here.
and you'd remain only in my mind's eye
as i consume the fire of you
and the distance remained cruel
and the fates remained waiting
can't move the oceans
to cut the distance yet
can't make the sky fall
to shorten time yet
can't pass through this mirror to
come to you or you here
no, not yet.

I'm looking at an empty chair
infront of me. a coffee for two
but only without you.
i look at the sun rise
while you see it set.
it blurs the lines of reason
it feeds the chains of time
as the lone and level sands stretch as far
and by this distance
the ache for you remain
remain to only ache, incessantly.
please hold my hand as i fly
and float in our dreamland
make it true, make it real,
longing for you.. only you.

"Something"

I have a recurring scene in my head...

I find myself running
in the middle of an old dark swamp
my every pace, my every step, is forcedly slow
as the water flow against the direction I am heading.
I hear the howling of the dark night.
Not looking back I know that I have to escape
to run away from something, something that makes
all my emotions, all my thoughts, wanting to flee.

I feel through my toes
weeds and leaves and painful stones
but I have to move on, stopping will cost too much time
not even for a catch of breath
not even for a glimpse of what's behind me.

I feel the thick cold water
circling against my feet.
My legs are weak from the knees down, and still
I have to run.

I wanted to stop
but I feel something is getting close.
Panting, a warm malodorous breath almost touched my neck.
And I knew I had to stop. No way out. Nowhere to go.
I halted and froze.
I closed my eyes and anticipated to be taken and devoured.
A thousand scenes ran in a split second in my head
I was scanning within the last memories why I am here.
Where have I been? And where am I heading?

Then the warm beating breath
blew strands of hair from the side of my ears across my cheeks.
I feel my back exposed, my skin colder than the freezing water.
Those dreadful seconds felt like eternity wrapped in seconds.
Take me now please, don't prolong the agony.

A loud ghastly deep scream echoed behind me.
Getting closer, it struck an abysmal growl.
Something fell on the water, as a gush of waves
almost knocked down my knees.

Then I fainted.

As my body slowly drifts down to the murky water,
a catch of two arms saved me.
I knew nothing more except that I didnt fell deep in the water,
except that in the mid of passing out and drowning, I was caught.
And the darkness around me enveloped my sight.


I woke up as the sun melts the tears from my eyes.
I felt my body still trembling, both from the coldness
and the unknown mystery of what just happened.

Exhausted and yet relaxed,
I found myself lying on a grassland hill.
stretched out in the grass with buzzing insects.
Still damp, my clothes and hair dripping to the ground.
My fingers glazing through daffodils
that carpeted the edge of the hill.
My toes, just paces away from a lake.

Strangely, this lake was different
from where I recall running through.
It's wider and blue, gentler and clear.

(and the recurring stops here.
today my dream finalizes...)
A gush of thrill suddenly struct me.
I realized where I am now, as I noticed a shadow
suddenly blocking the sun's rays to my side.
words came out as I whispered...
It was you all along. Thank You.

His arms opened as he offered to take my hand.
Then I knew it was going to be alright
from now on.
