I talked to the Moon,
in all Her brightness and light,
about you and I.
I whispered to Her all the words
I kept in my heart with the hope
that She will whisper those to you while you sleep.
I asked Her to keep you in Her embrace
while Her Stars give light in your darkness.
And I tied my desires to Her beam
as I promised my heart to you.

The Dream and the Dreamer

You're just within my grasp
but I should know better.
Your heart may be promised for me
but your life is promised for another.
You're my peaceful trance,
my precious muse,
My once-upon-a-time dream
yet not my happy ending.
You'll remain to be someone I see
when I close my eyes,
My own fairy tale,
my soulmate when I sleep.
I'll hold you in my heart
as close as the stars hold the moon
You are my heart's treasure,
my mind's healer,
For you are the dream,
and I, the dreamer.

With You, Always

Yours is the kind of love I once wished
The feeling that favored not just what I can give
but who I am - light and dark.
For years, it didn't change.
Instead, it grew stronger with every spark.
It's ever beautiful, peaceful and mild.
It's what I can call mine.
It's what I can call ours.
We may be apart but ours is the feeling
I'm quite certain as I am sure.
For you embedded my heart with words
that bring warmth like the sun's rays,

Avec vous, toujours
With you, always.

The Things I'm Not

I'm no writer.
I'm no poet.
Yet, every time I think
of you,
words flow
with all the rhymes
of love
the world knows.

I'm not sweet.
I'm not affectionate.
Yet, every time I meet
your eyes,
all I want is to be held
close to you
and spout sweet
nothings
like what lovers do.

Greeting

I gave my heart with his HELLO
and broke it with our GOODBYE.

He Knows

He knows I'm not perfect.
He knows all my flaws too well.
He knows there's a void in me no one could fill.
And yet he chose to love me still.

Storm

The grey clouds cover
my clear blue Sky
as the Storm threatens
the calmness of my Sea.
Still, I dared to open my eyes
to gaze upon the horizon
hoping that the grey clouds
will be soon lifted
and my heart be put at ease.
