gazing her,
she came and
asked, "Do you know me?"
I shivered a little
and simply said, "I hope so"
then, she asked "Tell my name"
I replied, "hmm...hmm chocolate!!"
She smiled......
now
we are best friends.,

I love it when someone’s in love with me
Love is blind
And they can’t see me
Clearly

I love it when someone’s in love with me
In their glazed eyes
They see a hero
Not the villain I can be

I don’t have to shine my shoes
Or watch my P’s and Q’s
I close my eyes once in a while
Relax, and smile
Lay down on my Lie Low
And watch the river flow

I love it when someone’s in love with me
But only for a while
Then the spell begins to break
They start to treat me like a child
They tell me I have changed
All the rules of the game
I’m not who I used to be
I’m not the one they used to see
Sooner or later I’m told
I to hit the road

No more, no more, no more

blood that has washed away so
promptly in the past is
now circling the sink drain.
leaving everything in shades of red,
this red is all i see.

and i'm in love with
distant memories;
i'm in love with
last night's dream—
always right here with me,
just simply out of reach.

-k.p//out of reach

the sea, the rain and the stars,
they must feel this way too-

tangled with desire
and always the beloved,
never able to give it back
in quite the same way it's received.

Close your eyes
Open again
What use pretending friends
While the smoke of sweet enemy flowing in our veins?
Come across my heart
Drive a knife.
You will find the smell of a hypocritical blood
In the sip of a coffee from an imported cup.
For heaven’s sake
Let not compel a ‘bad trust’ to be a thread
Between us
Close your eyes again
Just to know
We are strangers to one another
The yellow leafs of the stormy sky
No storm, no rain
When we close the eyes
In the forest of humans
All is dark and invisible.

She slept still on the cold bed
Her fragile frame was forever fixed
The sullen smile on her frown face
Crowned her earthly end
An emblem of victory gained in demise

The somberness of the ominous knell
Ushered in the undertaker for his task
To amass his masters latest loot
Fallen along the weary long way
A rose bruised before its bloom

The lamentations of the little lass
The groan of the grey gentleman
The solemn sympathy of a stranger
The clergy’s confession of her circumstances
All a label of a life led in liaison

The strongly sealed sepulcher
Bears the remains of her mortality
The epitaph on it concise as her life
A testament of her times to lingering legs
On rock engraved on hearts chronicled forever

The worms that merry on corpses
Shall soon party for their spoil
That skin so tender shall decay
From this world she carried eternal hope
And though she is dead she shall live.
