Sometimes a path of snow looks like a stream
And my heart aches as it's such a lovely scene
Not planted flowers blooming in crimson
Colors, feelings of warmer seasons
Just the pale snow without footprints
So bright making my eyes squint
I refuse to pass, I leave it untouched
As wild things are often unmarked
And when summer comes I wonder back
But you always stay my stream-like path.

in the midst of sadness,
I found solace,
and a truest companion,
that shall remind me,
not to remain,
in the abyss,
and not to remain,
insane.

Tumbling After

Arms soaked in bleach
Another lost soldier at the beach
Is wasting away, to decay, and decry the war
We're fighting against time,
And the march of progress flies
In the face of every word they've ever said
We all just want to survive, maybe get a little high,
Invest in a family, a home, and clear mind
But the pigs break our shins,
To watch us crawl
The CEO breaks our backs,
For a few more fat stacks
And our mental health comes tumbling after

Clambering o'er crag'd rendezvous
beheld I a jewel of sapphire hue
a hue as deep as heaven's blue
God's gift on earth, from Him to you

Surrounded by lush tree and plant
my breath surveyed the view in pant
Eyes as pools as yon intoxicant
Senses wanted to yell and rant

About the lake of Grasmere village
Seen from mountain's hill 'n ledge
From Loughrigg fell and softer terrace
From high above bluebell effloresce.

About a beauty that cast a spell
Of cerulean blue in emerald dell
A sweetness that one canna quell
The waters from God's Citadel.

Dear self,
In losing you

Days seem blurry
Nights seem scary

Heart grows weary
Eyes turn teary

I lost the merry
I lost the power to write my story

Kinda stuck in my thoughts
I am really trying to get out of it..
That little ray of hope in my heart keeps on burning..
I know I should walk away..
I tell that to myself every hour..
But I dont know why am I longing to hold on..
Maybe he would see me for once
He would realize that I am the girl for him
He would realize that we belong together...
Should I trust my guts or am I just being crazy???
Deep in my heart .. I know he is mine..
For now ,the love he has for me is like a cloth that is hidden on a closet.
Once he digs deeper.. he will certainly find it...
But until when???
Will I be patient enough to stick around ??
Or will I just let go??????
