They say you can't see love,
You can only feel it,
But everytime your lip curves
Into a smile, I see love.

They say you can't taste love,
You can only feel it,
But everytime you paint my lips
With yours, I taste love.

They say you can't touch love,
You can only feel it,
But everytime we entwine our fingers together, I touch love.

They say you can't hear love,
You can only feel it,
But everytime your laughter comes pouring out, I hear love.

They say you can't smell love,
You can only feel it,
But everytime your fragrance intoxicates me, I smell love.

There is nothing
More tenacious than her heart;
It has been
Crushed,
Torn,
Broken,
And shattered,
Into a thousand pieces
Over and over again
And yet somehow
Still lives.

The sun rises yet again
Reminding me of the start
Of another day I have to spend
Without your sweet smiles
And warm embraces.

She was not born
This way,
The road she traveled
Made her like this.
The more treachery,
Prejudice,
Discrimination,
And
Brutality
She endured,
The more she learnt
About herself.
She found her
True self
In the most
Unlikely of places.

Sleepless nights,
Silent cries, empty heart,
Swollen eyes and words laced
With eternal pain are the
Price I paid for
Loving you.

Sometimes,
I envy the ocean and the moon;
The way they affect
Each other even when
A few thousand miles apart.

Why can't we be like that?

You handed over
Pieces of your heart to
Strangers who disappeared
Like rain clouds
But don't worry darling,
The moon doesn't
Have to be full
To be considered beautiful.
