There are many things I find beautiful:

Boys who love flowers,

children laughing,

flower crowns.

Drawings on wrists,

shimmery eyeshadow,

dainty jewelry,

worn pictures,

hands covered in acrylic paint,

but all the while,
nothing can compare to you, love.
For you, are the greatest beauty of all.

You
I hated the sunlight,
For it could touch you!
I hated your sheets
For it could embrace you!
I hated the very air around you,
For you breathe it in!
When will I get to touch, embrace
And breathe you in?
My soul aches for you...
Words are now
as if
I never wrote

gather as an aching
lump in my throat.

They don't seek paper
only a river
to pour and mingle
in refrains of a dumb sadness
flow away
sunburned and tidewashed
to where the river is widest
deepest with sighs
of life not enough
in once only
and when just begun
ending broken on the shore.

hurts when I cry

I know these aren't my last tears

it's only wednesday

I believe I have two hearts

overflowing with anxiety

I fall outside catching my breath

hurts to cry

I won't tell you why

nothing I wish for comes true

maybe I deserve this misery

maybe I don't

Alone in my head
Emotional strings cut
And pulled
Forcing me to wonder
Then the doorway opens
And through the veil I wander

Winding paths
twisted trees
Stars drifting through
The endless midnight sea
A message laid out to read
You come from a world where
False  truths lead
Then two paths revealed to me

On my left I hear
The somber ringing
Of heavens bells
But to the right
Familiar whispers call to me
And I am compelled to follow

Traversing into the dark
Abruptly blinded
By the light reflecting off
The pearly gates of hell
Time comes to a stand still
And I’m left to ponder

Only for a moment

Then through the veil
I wander

Clock tick-tocked...rain poured
.....my mind swayed...a pendulum
........in the wide dim sky ...
~~~

.....thunder kindly hummed low,
.........hand, tapping, tipping
....my bubbly wineglass
~~~

i stood....stomped my feet
...then, entered an open gate...
there.................i met my fate...

as I’ve learnt,
a long time ago

a blue sky,
doesn’t make
a beautiful day

for beauty,
even in our perception
lies within


Our LOVE gave us
A new lease of life
A reason to live
In this fake world of today

We pray that
We never see gloomy days again
We pray that
We never think of dying again

Let us remain each other's breathe
Let us remain each other's blood
Let us remain each other's thoughts
Don't we NOT leave each other's end

You won't walk ahead of me
I won't go ahead of YOU
Let us not leave each other behind

I keep you in my heart
YOU keep me in your soul
I put my head on your lap
YOU put your hand on my chest

Let us promise
We won't let separation happen again
WE won't let anyone to part us again
That's how we walk hand in hands

You smile through my eyes
I smell YOU through my skin
Now we are one body, one SOUL

There is on other refuge, now
Our LOVE spirit is our abode

Between light and darkness
We will never fade away
Between floods and fire
We will fly in wings

LOVE is the path we walk
LOVE is what swept us away
LOVE is our God/dess & Nature
Our peace, calm and joys

With each other in LOVE
Hot summers feel cool
Cold winters feel warm
Fear of world feels courageous
Doubts on self feel a purpose

We are born for each other
We will sacrifice for each other
We will take away each other's pain
We will only shower joys

Now we have learned a new way
To LOVE by instinct

We know we live only once
And LOVE happens very rarely
So let our passions flow endless
Let us be ONE FOREVER

Let us perspire on each other
Dipped in nectar honey glue
Let us smell like flowers

From the rained wet earth
Let us ignite fire within
Let our flowers bloom

Let us see each other smile
Let us feel tears of joy
When our buds turns into flowers
Let us realize
That is what our being born
Is worth living for...

LOVE and believe in LOVE
LOVE will guard us from life
LOVE will always
Allay life's burden

Let us make it together
Till the very end of LOVE
Let us achieve that feat
That only TRUE LOVERS can

Having rendered this poem
Let us fly away far and
Live in our hidden nest of LOVE
