Of hushed giggles, the flowers had bloomed, As a rainbow melted into clouds unconsumed. Of thick blades, the grass had long grown, As the heavenly sky carried it's sun all alone.

Nature's outburst
**Sitting under the sky away from the crowd This Valentine's day no music loud Neither chocolates Nor dinner cosy Just aroma of coffee No fragrance rosy Talk heartful with the moon and stars Showing my heart's deepest hidden scars Praying to the God to help me to heal To remind my heart to not to feel**

Valentine's day....not to feel
You see that light bulb? When that light bulb stopped working, When it was broken, You knew. But the thing with people is You don’t know when they stopped working You may not even have known That they were broken What a tragedy, huh?

Hi, it's been a while I called to ask for I've been curious All these days Have you been fine? I gotta be honest, I know it's late Too late, yeah, I took a while I hope you'd still hear me out Just like old times For years, by my side Since the beginning of time You were there and I'm thankful, Thankful that you were mine There were things I couldn't tell you And feelings I failed to show You'd probably hate how long this would be But I thought that you should know Ever since we parted On our bed your empty space Sunshine hasn't passed through the curtains Light gone with the smile on your face I still wait for your texts Though I know you'd rather call I'm not sure why I still hope for you When I know I'm hoping for nothing at all And the days that have passed You never cross my mind For you were there and never left You haunt me all the time I still see you in crowds And places we used to be In the form of silhouettes And flashbacks of old memories How I came to let you go You gave up without a fight The you whose words were beautiful Became silence that was cold as ice "Let's live our separate lives" "I'm sorry, it's for the best" I thought I didn't deserve as much To be loved as much as love itself No, I'm not here to apologize To the damage already dealt But I may be drunk to send you this Too drunk on hurt and regret Today you're supposed to be happy For it's the day that you were born And the day you walk down the aisle With happiness that's yours to own You were the eye and I, the storm Like hurricanes we formed our home You were the peace that's meant to stay And in your life, I shall dissolve It's not goodbye for eternity Warmth of your peace I'd always seek Right now we're just not meant to be But the next lifetime, I hope it's you I still meet

an ode to our goodbye (of real people in a fictional storyline)

I'm a ******* ice berg, cold and frigid within the ice. I will stay rooted for years, and build up that ice you can't break. But then again.. I am a bonfire, so ******* hot I could burn you down to ashes. And even after I am doused away, I will reignite to singe you away. Or perhaps, I would also be the waters of the ocean, deep and dark. You'd find yourself so lost as I would drown you away. Yet again, I could be the winds of a cyclone, dense and strong, I may blow you far away into lands unseen, or take you within the cotton candies of heaven's azures. Here's a twist to the above, This is the kind of love I'll give to my true love.

I love with a love, more than love.
I have put you in a box in the back of my wardrobe. You live there, safe and sound next to old hats and sweaters. Sometimes I see your box and I run my hands across the bulging sides but never do I open in it for fear that you might escape. I tell myself that you are safer there, imprisoned inside that box. After all, if I don’t have to see you I don’t have to miss you, right? I say these lies over and over again until I believe them because the truth is a pill too bitter for me to swallow, and I’ve swallowed a lot of pills in my life. The truth is, not all of you fits in the box in my wardrobe. Hell, I don’t think you could fit in a thousand bulging boxes - you were always so big.   See, the rest of you resides in the back of my mind, taking up my every thought, everything thing reminds me of you and it’s getting to the point where I can see nothing else but your face. Even though I tell myself I don’t miss you, we both know that is not true because I used to miss you when we were apart for mere moments so how could I possibly not miss you when it’s been days and weeks and months and years and it just doesn’t make any sense… It doesn’t make any sense that I have to lock you away because we were supposed to be together forever. Our future was matching houses right next door to each other, our children running back and forth, never asking if they could come in because the answer would always be yes. We would car pool to soccer games, school plays, dance class and graduations, not because we needed to, but because the thought of doing these things without the other made us sick to our stomachs. And when our kids were all gone we’d retire together- two old women in rocking chairs staring out at the shore, laughing and crying about all the life we had lived. This future wasn’t a dream, it was a distant reality – we were so sure of that. Do you remember when we were so sure? I can’t seem to forget a single second of you, even the ones that burn holes in my chest and make me hate every ounce of myself. I remember, so well, when I knew you like I knew the back of my hand – Actually, scratch that, I knew you better then I knew the back of my hand because when I was with you I never had the chance to look down. Every line on your face, every crease in your fingers was more familiar to me than my own heartbeat, you knew me the exact same way. I remember when, at the end of a long day, all I wanted to do was retire next to you because that’s where I was safest, the world couldn’t touch me, I was home. You were my home. You still are. I think that’s why, as hard as I try I can never feel comfortable. I can never rest. Because I haven’t felt home since that day four years ago when we walked away. You cannot be my home anymore. See, just recently I have found a new home. It is a place that grants me invincibility- I dive off of cliffs into shallow water and jump out of airplanes without parachutes yet I’m just fine. The only catch is that I cannot take you with me. So, I’ve set fire to the box in the back of my wardrobe, and as it is burning I am finally learning how to live without you. But do not fear, even when the box is nothing but ashes that are scattered at opposite ends of the earth I will still remember the days in which I believed that the entire world was made up of just you and I. And when I am an old woman in a rocking chair staring out at the shore, I will certainly be thinking about you.

To The One Who I Called Everything

If your sky is grey let me paint it blue, if you need love I’ll love you. If your heart is broken I’ll wrap you in my wings, I’ll sing a sweet song reassurance it will bring. If you need a friend I’m always there, I’ll pick the stars and place them in your hair. When you feel alone don’t be afraid to call, for I’ll always catch you if you stumble and fall. If you’re sad and blue just remember, I’m your friend I’ll always love you!
