this pain in my chest
pulls me under
and all at once
i am a paper boat
lost in a starless sea,
drowning in the memory
of what we had.
i may not know
what lies ahead
the course uncertain,
the waters black
but as i lay here alone
i realise,
perhaps i am not
so difficult to love
perhaps others
are simply afraid

and that's okay too.

I roamed the Earth
With a peek at the sky
Breathed through Oceans
With a whiff of the tide
Glided on your smile
Spring, yes, brimmed my eye.

The sky is long, the road is far, wind and snow blow straight.
Dangling white specks of snow unfolded gracefully,
Yet home is naught when the dust flutters.
Just like a fishing boat in the rain,
Destination is just another
rest-stop.

Tears chilled my eyes
Reeled through my mind
Shifted anxiety
Tangled with destiny
Threw over my shoulder
A gust of cold laughter
And brought joy closer
To eyes left scaldinger

I found so much lustre,
In a broken cloud,
Painted with veiled tides,
It foamed in a shudder.
Beautiful sunset in my mind,
You brought into my heart,
The colours of the night,
Alight with laughter.
