Two Parts of a Broken Heart

How long do I have to live
before I've lived long enough
to be allowed to die?

Blood Word

Poem.

A drip, a drop, a blot of blood
Colors my page, unleashing flood
Emotions, words (aren't they the same?)
On my paper, they share a name:
Poem.

Beauty Is Only Skin Deep

Such luscious lips, with pinkish glow!
She's beautiful.

*Her chapped lips, faucet like,
cascade only words of kindness..
She's beautiful.

Such pretty,alluring eyes!
She's beautiful.

Her heavy-lidded eyes : a pair of lenses
capturing only great sharp shots,
they see clearly only the good in people..
They never despise.
She's beautiful.

Such a lovely, curvaceous figure!
She's beautiful.

Within the slim figure, is a soul
who'll share her food with the hungry,
even if it means she'll be left with nothing
for dinner.
She's beautiful.

*Beauty is only skin deep..

Inspired by a brief chat with a dear friend today and Audrey Hepburn's insights on beauty
'Look beyond the features, it is reflected in the soul..'

My Tomb

Why is this book bleeding,
As I read it during the dark of night?
Wait, the tears are coming from my eyes,
And my chest is tight.

Drop, drop,
Plop, plop,
The blood stains the paper.
Plop, plop,
Drop, drop,
My hope has dissipated into vapor.

I slam the book shut,
And hurl it to the other side of the room;
She will be the death of me,
This house, my tomb.

Caged

Yes.
This is what I wanted to tell you.
That how important you have been in my life.

I wish you stayed.
A little long.
A little more.
I wish you did.

But now that you are gone.
I just want you to know this.

I know you love me.
Or *loved me rather.
It Hurts,
Coming out of that magical phase.

But I want to tell you that
Smile on your face is still my sun.
I light up seeing it's brightness.
Your lips are still my lighthouse.
Which show me the way to a safe shore.
Your hair are my fantasy
The one which I adorn.
Your soul is still my Lord.
And my soul still caged in you.

So , I just wanted to tell you this.
Just this.
That please,
Let out my soul.
Make me free.
Don't come back to me.
I still love you the same.
But can't take that pain.
Thank you for listening to this.
Because this is all I wanted to say.
