If it’s true that home is where the heart is,
then you can share your heart with me.
I’ll hold it close
and keep it warm
I’ll unlock it with a key.
If you tell me home is what you need,
then home is what I’ll be.

There will come a day
When we would no longer be the same
> when wrinkles and creases
like ivies caress your forehead
> when the bitterness of this world
eats you away like leprosy
> when pain and darkness
swill out your features
like this everlasting wave of time

< I would still know this smile, this wink,
this laugh out loud

< I'd know you by your love of little things
< the eyes that are turned toward the sunshine
< the ears tuned toward the fireworks
< the shallow voice and deep words

< Then I'd know it'd be you
< I'd search you amid the crowds
< Then I'd turn my head in shame and joy
< Finding someone like you

<For this is far greater,
> than the distance, the chasm of hearts, aged times,
> and your hatred
> that separates us

That night he called it quit
She cried on her pillow
Curled up like a ball on
a freshman bunk bed.
The moon, its light her only pity party

One night he called to ask
If there was ever a chance
Yes or No? He asked
Just like that.  She replied
Flat out. No!!

Other days he called
Just to say hi! She went
From bad mood to feeling good
Laughing and  smiling but he
had made her cry that night,
years ago.

Today, here he is,
Looking into those eyes,
Hers,  searching.....
But he found her,  the same girl
She had waited! For him
all along.

In between, got her heart
Broken into a million pieces.
Broke her fair share too. Still
somewhere deep down she waited
to hold his.

It will be simpler, if
She was different,
For he is a different guy
now. Not the kind of guy for
her girl.

If you’re leaving me
Help me close the doors
There’s no heart to steal anymore

Don’t make me wonder why
When I’m too tired to start over
And
Too tired to let it go

Maybe in a long silence
I’ll get my closure since
I know what we are
And
What we’re not

Like a breezy...
Lights out
Your love
Light's in
Come on
Let's whistle
New lane...
Covering past n future...
If you wish
Let's cheers!
Once again...
As always..
We do....
..

Icy
Silent wine...
Beautiful daffodils
Merged with calmness
Another story begins within
Deck of dream unfurled speechless
....

Rewind,
Flashback phobias...
Encountering
Blueberries smiling
Cactusy sweetness
Dark hallucinations
Dawn provoked

It ended before the start
what was the final tour
all it took was a spark
of another man's war
let's begin the futility
it will all be over soon
or just an opportunity
a soldier of fortune
when you can attack
there's no need to defend
it's not as easy as that
When you start at the end
