melancholy
I wonder if your heart sinks And laziness usurps your motions' pace When my memories Surprise your mind I wonder if your body refuses to move When you come across a car the same model as mine I wonder if im still the cassette That plays Under your lids When your eyes refuse to dream. I wonder if your soul still Yearns for the strings of mine I wonder if you still Miss me sometimes

I wonder
What is life if not sorrow? if not loss, if not woe What is life if not grief, if not regret, of what could've been. What is life if not a void, a silent hunger at the centre of our being. What is life if not fear, if not resentment, if not shame. Though life is a sanctuary, of all these and more, no atom exists without a proton. No rain falls without the sun to follow. Stripped from the scorching star,the moon is hollow. If no day is warm forever, No night remains eternal. No dark remains without stars to guide, No cloud rests forever covering the light.

What is life?
Running on the wheel Chasing for a dream Though i know its of no use But to get off, i refuse Not as easy as it seems Vaporize all my dreams Some grow wings and fly Some cling to me still watching them by Still on the wheel, oh my Stubborn, am i? Hopeless and tired, hungry for a break Still I dream one last time Still I dream one last time

Stuck
I look for you in different rooms, In different seasons, In different blooms. I look for you, a moonlight gleam, In bleak darkness, In every dream. I look for you, the colour of your eyes, In every face, In every iris. I search for you, your sweet laugh, In every voice, In every smile. I search for you, oh, how I search, in every line of my palm. My very soul, an essence of you Beautiful, your favourite blue. In great woe, in great dismay, I wonder why you couldn't stay. I'd spend all my life In search for you To be granted just a glimpse of you.

Kinda going crazy lol
I remember how your hand felt on mine Warmth born to my soul, Shivers clinging to my spine. I remember your gentle caress Your tender touch, Your thumb dancing with mine. I remember my heart race, And the time's lazy pace. I remember my wish to be one, With your warm embrace.

Reminisce
how does one follow a path when he can not see how does one dream when he rivals with sleep. how does one see the light when his very vision is dark how does one hope for sun when it's the night he adores. how does one stay alive without hungry lungs how does one desire life, without a purpose.

forlorn
dry wind slaps me awake a reminder to my consciousness of breathing lungs of pumping blood i look around its all the same a city, a crowd, a group, of people smiling, laughing, crying, of faces unfamiliar some smile at me and some wave some glance, some stare. some walk up to me, ask my name i make them laugh , laugh myself. Another encounter -- my heart flutters just to break when they ask my name again fervor connections, ardor bonds, once eternal, now lost beyond the moon behind the sun i envy the stars, i envy them. every night, i beg and plead to let me be a part of them still they refuse, a harsh tone. where do i belong if not the sky or the earth?
