Eyes of a Stranger

Day 64

Those wide eager eyes,

Relentlessly peering into mine,

Tirelessly seeking for answers,

From the depths of my soul.

I look warily

Not giving away so easily

There’s uncertainty and reluctance

So to hide the brimming emotions

I blink and look away.

Rain Over Me

Day 63

The season has changed

It has begun to rain

Gusts of wind

Blow over the terrain

Rising dust in the air.

Darkness casts its shadow again

Hail thunderstorm

Here comes the rain

Pouring down all over again.

Shine on me Wisdom

Day 62

Give me inspiration, oh lord!

To write a few words,

That sound pleasing to the heart.

I am yet to complete my daily tasks,

Before I return to my chamber of slumber.

Strike me with a divine light of wisdom, dear God.

So I can learn to master,

The art of meeting with triumph

and not the disaster.

A Girl’s Tale

Day 60

I’m wickedly passionate

Thoroughly delightful.

My mysterious charm

Will truly enchant you.

A fragrant passing breeze

Or a joyful ecstasy

Just one gaze will totally bewilder you.

Dreadful Deed

Day 58

Step into the darkness

Hold on to my hand

I will guide you alright.

Heard some whispers?

Never mind them,

Just stay on beside me!

Shadows on the walls,

Crumble of the rocks,

A howling call of the wolf,

Let them not scare you a bit

With my coldness around you

You know you will be just alright.

Riding the Waves

Day 56

I was riding the ocean.

Soft, steady waves.

Slowly began to increase in tide.

I wavered a bit but held on tight.

I quickly learnt to tame them

They were pulling me deeper

Right into the middle

Rain poured down upon me

The roar and anger of the ocean

Shook my soul but I kept going

Then a deathly wave rose and engulfed me

I was deep inside, sinking within

Not afraid but embracing it.

Fighting it, until I rose again.

Astray

Day 54

A strong hush of wind came blowing upon.

Instinctively the hand covered the eyes.

Pushing aside the tresses.

With worried freckles.

Looking around for shelter.

‘Like a scenic plot in a book’ –

Was standing a straw hut close by.

Walking towards it, holding up,

the large red gown with both hands.

Upon entering found an old maiden

She looked disinterestedly and nodded.

The rest of the night was spent there.
