Those brown eyes
They are calm
They are bright
Lovely, very!
To the extent
That I allowed them
deceive me
And keep me
In silence
Whilst deep inside
I wanted to shout
And burst out
Hearing thy
Maddening lies
And excuses
I know myself
I had enough
It is hard
Yet I must not
Look back
For the memory of
The past is so vivid
And my heart is just
So fragile and soft

I WANTED TO BE WITH YOU,
TO BEHOLD YOUR BEAUTY,
EMBRACE THE
IMPERFECTIONS,
AND FEEL THE INCOMPARABLE
COMFORT FROM THE
SHADES OF YOUR LOVE
YET, YOU ARE SO FAR!
Parallel
I can see you!
We’re travelling through
the same expectrum of time
Consuming the same space
Under the same SKY
But the DISTANCE we have
Will not lead to the same END
You are JUST there, but
completely out of reach
You choose to stay
and I opted to WAIT, yet
I don’t know how much LONGER
I can walk ALONE
Shall I say GOODBYE now
even if you haven’t really left?
Air
Air
I must love you like the wind
I must feel it
without the aid of sight
It must be enough
It should allow me to breath.
I also know,
with little air, I feel less alive
Gasping for breath;
Suffocating.
Yet too much kills,
It’s toxic, a poison for a man
Gap
The distance between us
is a whole lot of space.
It grows each day,
and I feel it all night.
Later, spaces may be filled
Either with hatred
Even disgust. Tell me then,
can love still permeate our gap?
A kid no more!
A kid no more!
Stop riding the wheel
as it goes up and down.
-YOU ARE ON YOUR OWN-
Carry the weight
of living a life.
Bear the pressure of going up,
Hold still when life’s waving you off,
and should you breath stably underground.
Be tough!
Be wise!
Enjoy accompanying yourself, ’cause
sometimes people come, just to put some extra weight
Eliminate them, or else, You’ll linger low
Cannot go very far.
Never again!
I will not allow a “love” that is bound to inflict me harm.
I will not again love someone who cannot reciprocate the effort and time.
Love does hurt sometimes, but it shan’t cause your absolute drime.
I used to love too much!
To the point of losing my own individuality.
I was used to feeling your touch,
Enjoying our sense of chirality.
Now, I am losing the clutch,
Fearing that blues may dominate my tonality.
It’s as if I was waiting for a star to fall.
Yet, even the sun sets you do not give a single glance at all.
You’re enjoying your coffee, while I am drowning in tears.
Savoring a good, an elegant brew, while I have to endure the bitter taste of a deep blue.
And I saw you sitting comfortably on couch, while my longiness just went up a notch.
You’re smiling now, and your eyes are bright.
Oh! how soon may I enjoy a tranquil night?
