I lost a lover along the way
Reveals deep pain
But transformation, a new ray

A broken flower likes to hang but does not fall
You said,’you hurt me too much,enough Jane’
I lost a lover along the way

Rechargethe system, I love it all
A broken heart stands again
But transformation, a new ray

Love has taken its toll
Brain runs like a metro train
I lost a lover along the way

A withered flower has to live till it falls
Life needs little rain
But transformation, a new ray

Respond to me before nightfall
Don’t like strain
I lost a lover along the way
But transformation, a new ray

Stay Blessed! 💞

Pray tell me what is my future?

Can I erase all my mistakes?

Learn the lesson try new challenge

And at the same time, no regrets

I’ll breathe fresh air from the mountains

Pray tell me what is my future?

Is my knight coming on his horse?

Our night in full moon and stars

An old fortune teller told me

I will travel and see places

Pray tell me what is my future?

Can I build something out of none?

I stand firm for what I believe

Until my last breath so it seems

Shall I have faith or accept fate?

Pray tell me what is my future?*

The poem below: MAPPED OUT was originally written & published back in April of this year for a special online “Written In The Stars” spoken word event I participated in for Poetry Day Ireland. But I thought it quite apt as a response to this particular picture prompt for Reena’s Xploration Challenge 246.

Reena’s Xploration Challenge #246

MAPPED OUT

Is it written in the stars?
Is our road mapped out ahead?
Can we travel there by cars?
On magic carpets or in our beds?

Can you read it in the cards?
Cryptically hidden in my star sign?
Does it predict life on Mars?
Will it reveal to me at what time?

It will all come together
Or is that in the hands of the gods?
Is there love or some treasure
At the end of it all?

Maybe you believe in fate?!
If it’s predestined to be?
Or do you…

How eager is man

To know his future, fate

He devices many methods

To fathom the mystery of days to come

Tarot cards, lines of the hand

Crystal ball or the writing on the visage

To what end I ask?

What is going to happen will happen

If it’s written in the stars, knowing won’t change it

If it’s all in your hand, perhaps a prior knowledge will be adverse

So let tomorrow take care of itself

While you enjoy what you’ve today

Fate is just what you make of your life

One Of (the what ifs)

what if we never meet
what if we didn’t fall in love
what if I didn’t leave
what if you didn’t let me go
these and many more, i wonder
‘cos i am tired of playing pretend
that i don’t miss the sound of your voice
the feel of your touch against my body
the tenderness of your lips when it touches mine
these and many more i missed
every moment of every day
from the time you went away
(or i went away)
to this day
how long has it been?
i don’t know
but i remember
will i let the universe
decide our future?
will i allow the cards of my life
take its rightful way to you?
or will i be courageous enough
this time to say
“it’s you i am choosing?”
