The Savior

(Image Source: http://lilliemcferrin.com)

He seemed oblivious to the green mist that threatened to entrap him in its meandering waves, thus deviating him from the true purpose of his arrival, and rendering him a failure.

However, his heart brimmed with unwavering faith and conviction, and he knew no obstacle could obstruct the sole purpose of his life now; he, the new Savior of mankind.

Time was running fast, and that's what he had to stop - yes, he was here to steal time, to avoid the inevitable, and not just delay it.

Today the phoenix would rise from its ashes, the scars would heal, and the world would bow to his acts, only if he accomplished this mission.

He had to get on with the task, and complete it before the calender turned to the fateful day, that would be tomorrow, the 21st of December, 2012.

Between You And Me

(Image Source: http://team-android.com)

Between you and me

The world will sway

As we light up the sun

And paint the moon

In our canvas of love

Red, green and blue.

Between you and me

Creation will answer

Myriad questions

That lie buried in the sand

Where we build castles

In the sea of dreams.

Between you and me

Closets lay bare

Skeletons tumble out

Narrating their tales

Of fairies and demons

Who pass by our fate.

Between you and me

Nectar savored

At the edge of our lips

The joy of passion

Uncovered, discovered

Ecstasy gets a name.

Between you and me

Lies the mountain of trust

Weaving this magic of undying love.

Opposites Attract

(Image Source: http://www.123rf.com)

A man who was rather urbane
Fell in love with Ms Plain Jane.
Opposites attract
Quite true, in fact
They proved the saying all over again.

Young Hope

The cold waking life

Upon the lovely earth

Continuing

Hope for higher Heaven

I' the summer sky

In my very heart

Imagining

What more could I have seen?

My spell - the chilly wind on the moon

Shone too coldly - let it pass

I have dreams in delirious eyes

Of Paradise and Love

And

All our young hope.
