Imagination so bright
A shine of smiles
A glow in every face
Cheers to being young
Do everything crazy
Kiss at the stairs
When everyone's watching
Carry you on my back like you had no legs to walk
Hug you all the time to keep the loneliness away
Known you since I was five
Can't believe time runs so fast
And now I'm calling you mine
Asking for your hand in marriage
You say yes
Finally I hold your hand in church
After your dad walked you to me
Saying make my daughter happy
You are the Prince I told her about that she would marry
I'm glad I lived this long to see it happening
Before I could even kiss her,
The lights go off
The imagination dies away

Walk in the thorns, my feet are bleeding
A sharp pain like my body is burning
Temperature is rising
So is my adrenaline
A brave heart is now the faint one
How deep were the shallows
How shallow were the deep
How loud was the silence
How silent was the loudness
So many questions
Nobody's got answers
Look in the mirror like my beauty's fading
I'm aging so fast
Nothing accomplished like I'm out of time
The jacket can no longer shield me from the cold
Maybe I need a hug
So many people I pushed away
Still don't know why
Like I was born this way
Meant to be selfish
Meant to be on my own
I want this to change
Still can't escape from my own shell
I want to be exalted and feel reborn
And see many faces I want to talk to
Fall in love with a stranger
Have kids run around and mess up the house
Be free for the first time

I miss us
I miss what we had
We can start over like it's the first time

I miss us
Conversations we had
Strings to strum to make a love song

I miss messing up the kitchen
When we were baking
Watching a movie in a couch
You in my arms
Eating all the popcorn

I miss taking photos of you
Like I'm your photographer

I miss getting drunk in the house
We couldn't climb up the stairs to our bedroom

I miss going to church every Sunday
Praying for our love to last till the end

I miss seeing you in my t-shirts
They were big but you didn't mind that

I miss you that you are gone
And there's nothing to do to bring you back
I miss you

Something has changed about this bed I sleep in every night
It's not the same like the old days
Where I would sleep and smile in my dreams
Nowadays all I do is wake up
Scared that I don't have enough to live
Like my days are numbered and maybe I should say goodbye to family and friends
Pray that I meet them again in another world
A better world hopefully
That they would discern who I am
Even when the old skin will be clothing my body
That they still live their lives happily without me
That sometimes when they reminisce about me
It brings them great pride instead of tears
I'll meet up with those that left before I did
Speak about those I left behind about how blessed I was after meeting  each one of them
Miss them as I watch over them in their sleep
Miss how they made me feel loved
Miss their jokes and smiles
Miss the music I would sit down and write
To comfort my soul when I felt so alone
Miss the river that flowed in every vessel in my body
The river of great love and passion for those that were always in my sight
Before I do miss every fight and hug
I wanna say I love them.
Before the last time they set their eyes on me, it would be in a casket

Mona Lisa
Staring at your picture
I wish I had met you in person
Tell you, you're beautiful
Your beauty glitters like gold

Mona Lisa
Who stole your heart?
Was he divine like yourself!
Was he good enough for you!
I hope he made you laugh

Mona Lisa
Was your voice mellifluous!
To have all men vying for your attention
Was it musical like the sirens!
Can you sing to me
To lead me to your treasure self

Mona Lisa
It's been decades
I've been waiting to see your face
To fall in love with you at first sight
And now I found you in the girl I love

Flower in the vase
I'm attracted to you like a honey bee
For nothing looks beautiful like you are
No wonder I found a home in you and wanna sleep on your gentle petals
How sweet your nectar
I won't tell the other bees about you
For I want you for myself alone

How do you sleep all alone in this cold place.
You folded your petals last night and I wished you could do it again
Let me get lost in you like forever
And maybe die with you when the conditions that ain't comfortable for your existence arise

I don't know your name
Are you a rose or a violet
You are blue and red
Reminds me of a rainbow
A herald for no stormy rains ahead of us
For even when every other creation was jealous of us
This is something they can't beat or change

So baby rise up and let me feel my wings again.
Take off the weight that was suffocating you
Adore you from above and while next to you
Wish the world to end with you and I at its face
Feel your fragrance waft in the air
To guide me home as I tell the others about who I found when they let me explore life
Define beauty in just one story "The flower in the vase"

Speak of the month in which I was born
On the third
Before the other days could steal my blessings
A month in which we put our feet in the sand for it's hot
The skies are beautiful with no darkening of the clouds
The stars to remind us how long we have to live while on earth
So many and no easy to count
A month I do love with my heart
I hope you'll be nice to me
Your child that adds a year today
Happy birthday to me
