Dream Ship: Journey through Life

Once I made my dream ship,
the first voyager was friendship.
Ship exclusively for journey through life,
with an album of love and an archive.

A beautiful passenger and a lovely day,
it seemed no obstacle could come my way.
With my companion ocean seemed so shallow
and gigantic horizon appeared so narrow.

Islands, scenic beauty, pretty weather
clear sky, fragrant breeze, lucid water,
nothing more that I could desire,
we wanted to stay and forever admire
the beauty that could surpass all,
the serenity could forever enthrall.

Suddenly a whirlpool lured our ship,
soon it was in storm's grip.
Water poured in, through each gate,
we searched for a boat surrogate.

Unfortunately there was none,
which could take us to our destination.
Noone came to hear our plight,
no ray of hope to suggest the light.

We doubted if we could see another dawn
or perhaps would together drown.
Helplessly seeing at each other,
we smiled- at least were together.

We clasped each other's arm
and thought there could be no harm.
We slept in the lap of death, so warm
thus were engulfed by that storm.

That's how we died in last birth
in this we are separated before death.
God makes us meet to separate,
I pray in next we may congregate.

Amen!
Everlosting Journey

The destination was destined
so journey we started together
all was alright…
till your warm hand left my cold one
and without you I lost for ever…

Lost in the ocean,
saw you there;
a false lighthouse-
a thunderbolt
drowning in whirlpool.

Lost in the desert,
saw you there;
an illusionary oasis-
a real mirage
swept away by the dust storm.

Lost in the jungle,
saw you there;
a silhouette of your love-
a dark ghostly shadow
soon vanishing in fogy wind.

Lost in the sky,
saw you there;
a colorful rainbow-
yet merely a hallucination
fading with the sun's ray.


Lost in a dream,
saw you there;
started as a reverie-
ended as a haunting nightmare
inhaled in by reality.

The course of journey changed
and no footprints to follow
so I just wait on every bend
but, what is the fate of this journey
ultimate destination or a dead end?
