The lonely moon
is half dark
and half bright.
But you are
beautiful the
way you are.
Like the moon,
you are also
half dark and
half bright.
Filled with the
light and brightness
of the sun,
you glow with
the majestic glory
of a crowned one.
The subtle light
of the new
and full moon
illuminates your life.
You are full
of wisdom and
kindness of a
noble heart.
You sit on
the throne,
but yet you
feel the sadness
and the pain of
a burdened one.
The wind blows,
the rain gathered,
and even the
storm abates but
the sun dried up
the wet ground.
The night has
fallen in daylight,
the leaves smiled,
the thunder clapped
and the heart
is sore afraid.
Even the trees
want to stand still
but the wind
will not let it.
And again the
dream never ends
and don't even exist.
So you think,
but look deeper
again beyond the
realm of this sphere.
Truly i know
nothing of your heart
but let me in,
so I will know.

The sunset made
the sky look
beautiful and colorful,
reflecting on
the beach water
with shimmering hues
of beauty.
The seagulls
as if satisfied
for the moment,
gave their final call
to bid the day
good bye.
The girl stood
on the coast
and looked into
the distance.
Her figure
was very beautiful
and alluringly attractive.
Unimaginably blending
beautifully with
the scenario,
her silhouette casting
a dreamy shadow
of mesmerizing beauty
as if stolen
from the spirits,
giving it an
illusion of magic.
This is a
special magical evening,
enchanting with a
supernatural occurrence.
The stars displayed
their beauty as
they glow and
glitter in joy
making the moment
captivating and yet
so subtle you
can hardly notice it.
Tonight,
a star is born.

Everything melts as
my heart speaks,
of love and
compassion.
Not of sadness
and pain but
of relief from
burden of pesky
unfortunate and
unsolicited approach
to close an
unclassified heart.
Secrets hidden within
are all out
in the open.
Even if a
piece of boundless
classified
heart is huge,
i can find you.
Because you are
my life.
Lost in the
paradise of love within.
Deserts are nothing
compared to
the huge expanse
of what is
inside the heart.
The heart never
yields to the
lukewarmness of
a dull soul,
for the fire
of the spirit
burns up everything
that sinks the heart
into the mud.
But as slippery
and fickle as
the heart is,
it must also
be consistent and
constant in this matter,
or everything will
crash by itself.

I know that
love is a
beautiful thing
and it's catching
up on me.
I really miss
the feeling of
the heart in love.
And I felt
the flame of love
from the deepest
part of my soul.
My heart beats
so fast with
the systematic rhythm
of the symphony
of the spirit.
The rhapsody of
which engulfed
my soul powerfully
touched my heart
so beautifully and
left me speechless.
This is all
my soul wants
and it is enough
because it is everything.
Can anything be
as sweet and
lovely as a
cool hearty smile
of a loved one,
on a sunny afternoon.
You just have
to see with me
that a man
with a beard
looks like a king
and love is
all it takes to
have him by
your side.
Make it right
and enjoy yourself
in his kingdom.

She gathered
the common but
beautiful flowers from
the garden,
the road sides
and the backyard
to decorate the table.
With so much
love in her heart,
she sang the
song of pure love.
The newly blooming
camellia are large
and bright red.
So much beautiful
with the roses
growing by the side
making it extremely
quite unique and
so exquisite reminding
you of the
alluring flow and
beauty of the
symphony orchestra.
With a gift
of beautiful fragrance
to the senses,
the nostrils
adorned with
love for the
heart to rejoice
and resonate in
remembrance.
It is quite
a breathtaking feeling
that puts a smile
on the face.
It is just a
gift of love
from a beautiful soul
with a lovely heart.

It is not
trouble that i seek
but to share
the peace of
my life,
my world and
my home.
All troubles
are missing
so the dance
of the spirit
is so peaceful,
like the eternal
starry sky,
the oldest word
flows out of
the heart of
the loved one.
Love is the
real reason why
we are all
in this universe
together.
It is our home,
the heartbeat
of our lives.
One cloud,
one universe,
same air but
only different zones.
We are all
beautiful and fragrant
roses of the
cosmic garden.

My heart
bleeds for you.
I had never
forgot the
things you do,
i still appreciate you.

Maybe with time,
i will one day
really become
unrecognisable,
smiling toothless
sitting down
by your side
with my frail
body as you
reach out to me.

Will you still
need me,
will you still
love me,
will you still
hold me and
say those
beautiful words still.

Would you still
look into my
wrinkled face and
still kiss my
twisted lips.

Would you walk
with me still
with my wobbly legs
and bent back.

Would you be
patient with me
as my weak bladder
droll ***** all
over as i
pace the floor
with you.

As you chat
with me and
i stare away
into the space
but never heard
anything you said,
because of my
failing ears or
didn't understand
anything you said,
by reason of dementia,
would you be
angry with me.

As I mess up
my clothes with
food on the
dining table because
of my Parkinson's
shaky hands,
or quadriplegic hands
would you be patient
and not shout down
or scold me
for not being perfect.

Maybe with time
as time goes on,
it will happen.
Promise me you
will stay by
my side and
love me still.
