Is love a lie?
What's the definition of it?
Asking myself time and time again
If it could ever be worth it

Giving your all for someone else
For the people you deem worthy
Pushing it all for the hope of a pretty memory
Is it really going to be pretty?

Tonight I douse myself in tears and lies
Yelling to myself it's all well
Tonight I continue whispering
The quiet screams of an emergency

What could ever be worth it?
Someone please show me
Whilst I try to convince that this
Will actually all be just my...
...overthinking

Running through a day
Chatters of many discussions
Thoughts dashing in and out
Solving problems and getting work done

*Then it's like...
Time slowing down for a bit
To make space for you
Little grand entrances
Filling my head with sweetness
Happy memories
And little imaginations

And I look forward
To the times when I'm doing nothing at all
Then I'll put you in my spotlight
When I can think about only you
And smile to myself
Unknowingly

You being my favourite daydream...



Make that
my new
number one
hobby...

Let's play a game
You will count to ten
At the end of it
Find me if you can

I'll hide in a place
I think you can't find me
But peek-a-boo!
You know exactly how I think

Count once more
It's my turn
I hear your heart racing
Found you in an instant

Lets go again
One last round!
Don't you peek
Don't you cheat

*Because this time round
I'm not playing
And you are not allowed...
...To watch me leave

Anticipating
Another second
Another minute
Another hour

Tick...
...Tock

For the clock to tick by
Gently
Solemnly

Tick...
...Tock

For time to pass by...
...Quickly
...Aggressively

....Tick
...Tock



*­Till I can breathe again.

She knocked on the door
Gently
The silence creeping in
Slowly

He opened the door
Widely
The gaze shared
Insanely

She gave him a hug
Tightly
Their love radiated
*Abundantly

Racing in the blood
A war in your veins
Breathes multiplied
A chill remains

Clenching of fists
Heavily battering eyelashes
Chattering of teeth
This is going to take a while...

Clearing thoughts
Cleansing minds  
Strengthening a heart

Piecing the puzzles
Connecting messed up lines
Untying the knots
Take a look...

...there is a warrior in my hazel eyes

Tie up a ribbon
Make sure it stays
Tugging it tight
Make sure it's strong and intact

******* a ribbon
Hoping it stays
Tugging it again
Strengthening its hold

******* a ribbon
But it is starting to come loose
It's untying itself
It's coming down

******* a ribbon
Made it so pretty
It looked beautiful
But it has loosen
And it is gone

Even if
I were to tie it up again


Will *you stay?

"I can't be bought
But I can be stolen with a glance
I am worthless to one
But priceless to two
What am I?"

My breath froze in place
And time stood still
As he waited

Hazel hues quivered
Soft as ever
Gentle and meek
A smile formed with all strength

"It's love."
I answered.

He nodded with a smile
Taking a glance
And I was pampered by his gaze
His sight in place

"Exactly."*
He said.

Unlock that door
Bring your heavy feet in
Call out my name
"Baby, I'm home."

You will find me in our bedroom
Geeky glasses, fingers busy with a game
I will look up at you, softly
As you let out a yawn
"Long day?"

Shutting off my device
Arms open wide
You fall into my arms
With clothes crinkled from your day's work
But your scent still so attractive
"Yeah... It was bad and I'm exhausted..."

Cuddle you close
Kisses on your forehead
You pull me in closer, gripping tighter
*"Goodnight, my love."

Keeping a vision ever since
A feeling to aim for
Living in that vision
Longing for it every day

Catching shooting stars
Eating aeroplanes
Blowing candles on a cake
Wishing the same wish in every possible way

Put oneself through obstacles
In hopes of a worthy exchange
Working towards that dream
That forms whenever eyes are closed

That one thing...
That moves...
Slowly...
Peacefully...
Gentle and carefree
Happy and soothing

A sweet life in moderation.

Constant chaos in a single mind
Massive noises and disordered voices
Cloudy, dark, misty thoughts
Filled into a weakened being

Screams of tension
Shouts for help
Listen to their breaths
Feed them profusely with negativity
Hear their every...
SCREAM
SHOUT
ESCALATION
AMPLIFICATION
AMPLIFY..
US!

Just then
He held her close
Whispered softly
Gently...
Carefully...
And she breathed with ease..

*For his love roared louder than her demons

twinkle twinkle, my little star
hold my hand, let's run far
tell me soothing bedtime stories
embrace me through infinite mornings

In your eyes...
I see the stars
A sapphire sky with twinkling wishes
Always mesmerising

In your eyes...
I see the moon
A beauty of the dark
Always bright and filled with light

In your eyes...
I see gems
A bounty full of treasures
Waiting to be discovered

In your eyes...
I see my dreams
The ones that floods my mind
Every time the clock ticks by

In your eyes...**
I will never stop seeing
That star that I will always wish on
That moon that shines through
That gem that I have found
That dream that I will always want to dive into

Starlights shining
In the generously calming night sky
Sitting as an individual
Thoughts around another

Memories flowing
In an abundantly happy mind
Reminiscing as an individual
Pictures having another

A rhythm still thumping
In a romantically filled heart
Loving as an individual
Feelings consisting another

Another individual
Remains
In the mirror of this soul
Reminding this individual

That we are not actually alone...

Amidst a field of grass
There was a single rose
It was not just any rose
It was the one she love the most

-----

He pulled it out from nowhere
And presented it in front of her
A single white rose

"Why white?"
She asked

"Because a white rose symbolises us."
He said

She tilted her head in confusion
Not knowing what it meant

"We are meant for each other, my love."
He caresses her cheek gently
"That's why."

-----

From that day on
He remained her one and only
**White rose

Forged under the stars
That watched over us
Little figures
Little smiles

Twisting fingers, twirling arms
What would it become?
A bond between us maybe
Joining in sync before dawn

Bite sized wonders
We travel around the world
Under the moonlight
With imaginations running all over

Comforting laughters
Crazy minds
The things we could come up with
Amazing and wild

Take it and let it flow
See where we could go
Our world formed in absolute bliss
Together, peacefully

Do it again
Mess around with your brain
It will keep going, let's run away
As we allow ourselves to indulge

...in this amazing **shadow play

Freshly painted seasons of endless woes
Vanishing faiths and worn out beliefs
Yanking them together
Burying them beneath

Venomous insides of a youthful mind
Hateful demons dwell, unjustified
Release them back into the wild
Knowing they would be back soon enough

Catching another breath
Picking up once more
From yet another reckless fall
Only to prepare for the next war that comes along

But by then it would be different...

*For the fallen had been wounded
They will only know
To lick the next blood and move on
stronger
than before

Cherish the silence
Clasped hands in peace
Open up your heart
Release

Serenade the ocean
Look upon the horizon
Open up your wings

*Fly free

Their laughters drowned their thoughts
As their minds played images of awful pain
They lived in that moment though
For that allowed them to survive each day

So
One fine day

He told a joke
She laughed

That was how
They
Both
**Fell in love

I am the lion
That leads his pack with pride and honour
Who protects his loved ones

I am the pillar
That supports every building formed upon it
It would never let them fall

I am the buoy
That does its best to save every life
It will pull you away from danger

I am the joker
Who laughs the most under the ridiculous
Who makes sure you stay happy

*I am the cub
Helpless to the wondering hyenas

I am the tiles on the floor
Supporting weights and lifting hearts

I am the anchor
Sinking to the bottom of the sea

I am the broken
Laughters lost, tears overflowing

There is something about him
Yet I don't know what it is
It makes me feel fuzzy
Like butterflies in me

There is something about him
That makes me gravitate towards his presence
It makes me want to stay close
In silence or in everything

There is something about him
That calms my being
My demons quiet down
Just so that I could hear him

There is something about him
Because every time he holds my hand
I feel safe
Like I'm at home, cuddled in my warm bed

There is something about him**...
...and I still don't know what it is.

Chatters under shimmering chandeliers
The females all made up beautifully
The males dressed to a tee
Wine glasses clinking gently

Her wavy hair flowed
Framing her face nicely
Her lips with a gentle tint of pink
Her hazel eyes scanning the scene nervously

Everyone complimented her rare femininity
Often not seen on usual days
People said
Behind those casual boyish clothes
Hid such a tender beauty

She smiled thankfully
However, unable to focus
For she was waiting to see
The one she dressed up for so zealously

There he was...
Decked in a handsome suit
His tie so neat
His hair styled the way she loved it
The smile he wore on his face
Ever more charming

Her heels clicked carefully
As she walked closer to him
Her heart raced
As the music played a slow melody...


*She saw his hand, reaching out
But it wasn't for her...
It was for another...
The girl he dances with, every day
No matter what

As the dance started
The chandelier lights dimmed
Like her heart
And she left the ballroom
Never turning back

It's a bright morning
That greets his day
He looks out the window
And watches the radiant sun

He admires it
Attracted to her glorious shine
Blinded in all effects
Yet still unable to pull away

The heat burns his skin
But he loves it
Being in the sun
It makes him happy

The sun goes down
Bidding her farewell
Leaving him solemn
Broken and shattered

The moon comes up
Greeting him with a soothing embrace
Peaceful and gentle
A light that guides him in darkness

She brings a cooling breeze
To comfort his painful nights
Even if she would be clouded
By grey clouds at times

She watches over him
Like a guardian angel
Singing a soft lullaby
To send him into a slumber

Morning came
It starts all over again
The burning sun in the spotlight
The gentle moon awaits her turn

And she will always wait for the moment
When he enjoys the night more than day
Then she will never be overshadowed
She will take her very own...
...center stage.

Justifiable strength
In a single feather
The sturdiness in a heart
With a weight of acceptance

Touching souls
Healing frowns
Brightening smiles
Through ups and downs

Blessings in disguises
Magical miracles
I'm yours
In fact
Your very own
Guardian Angel


The Little Fallen Angel

Take my flight away from me
Remove the pride I own
Sell it to the world you've concluded
To be a reality I need to know

Persuasion into a kind of love
Trying to build a bond
Then take it away from me again
And closing up my doors

Take my traits away from me
I'll like to see you try
Because till the end of time
I know what will remain mine

Seal up my doors
That was opened for you
Seal it good
Don't let me through

Because I'm locking myself up
Safe and sound
In my own little world
Without you around

I will never speak again
Even if I do
It will only be the things you want to hear
To fulfil your *contradictory

Someday...

It will be...
Their turn to speak...

...Of *these resonating heartbeats

Angels will find freedom
To grant them blessings...

Zealously sweet stories
Written in stone
For their everlasting comfort
And peaceful memories...

The dark sky whistles a midnight tune
The breeze caressing her cheeks
Her cigarette burning in between her fingers
As she started to sing

She sang songs
That reminded her of you
Flaming youthful emotions
Sincere and true

A single tear trails gently down her face
As she whispers the line
To the midnight sky

*I miss you...

It was...
Tender and gentle
Slow and calm
Sentimental romance
Under imaginary stars

It was...
Making wishes
Crazy what ifs
Multiple glances
Under genuine hearts

It was...
Light-weight touches
Heavy wants
Listening ears
Under broken-hearted stories

It was...
*Us
Lying side by side
Sacrificing all that we have left
Under this madness called 'Fate'

May the stars watch over
Wishes made
Nicotine misted
Tears shed
Sacred hugs

May the moon promise
To seal lips
Cover eyes
Open up hearts
Clear minds

May the sun bless
Smiles exchanged
Gazes shared
Spread giggles
Utmost confidence

May the Gods be good
Anticipate more
Than what we have today
Shower blessings
Look our way

Because everyday is a new beginning
And tomorrow is promised
