Once, my eyes
The remnant of clear skies
I buried my soul behind my lines
And anger behind each rhyme.
I hid my tears behind storms
where rain cleansed blood of war
and separated the gold from the ore.

Now, my eyes
The colour of clear skies
Brought about by a beautiful sunrise
and a warmth exuded from the sun's shine.
I thank you for destroying the storms
and keeping me completely warm.

__
thank you

Last night I wished upon a shooting star,
And in a hazy dream, I saw everything alive,
As I sew the seams for every wish to survive.

"I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed",
And if 'tis a fate upon myself, I shall hope to avoid
like the eye of a hurricane in an eye of a needle.

Last night I wished upon the light of a bright star
and I stumbled onto one with brightest hue
who gave me a sense of happiness I never knew.

"I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed",
And if 'tis you that proposes my mind to be void,
In no longer than a heartbeat shall I bear you my mind.

Last night I heard Einstein recite a poem, saw Edgar Allen Poe paint and danced with Vincent Vangogh in the moonlight, yet none of it was as interesting as the opportunity to meet you.

Like the whistling
sound of a steam train,
that was muffled
by the crowd of people.

Like an explosive sound
contained in a vacuum
waiting for the pressure to
create something that matters.

Like the sound of a bass guitar
playing a bass line,
drowned out by the sounds
and songs of people screaming.

Like a single drop of water
crashing against rocks,
following the flow of the
cascading waterfall.

Like the sound of a scream
in a vacuum,
like the sound of the words
"doesn't matter".

I hear the stars, they silently speak to me
Their whispers carried leaves from a tree
Towards me. 'I gaze at beautiful stars'
I announced to the people in my car,
But they could not understand my speech
As they've not seen stars further than arms reach.
I wondered on the names of the mysterious star
'Was this star shining its beams towards me from afar?'
I asked myself 'worry not about the stars glow
For the warmth provided is all I've felt and know'.
I don't know whether to compliment the stars, from here
Or to thank the star for its nova glow that brought about cheers.
I know not whether I deserve the glow and warmth
But I know that I will try my best to gaze at the stars of bright hue,
To learn of the stars, in the way that the astronomers do.

Waiting for a star to appear within my sights, the bright lights of beauty and warmth
that exudes from this star has illuminated my mood.

May this writing reach you, who deserves her more
I trust that you will cherish her with every breath
And love her with a love that doesn't end at death.
I wish nothing but happiness between the two of you
I hope your love forever remains stronger than mine
Keeping both hearts in tandem from the baseline.
I hope you take care of her and make her happy
Beyond any happiness that any human could find.
I hope you cherish and love her every hour
And feed her a love that blooms like a flower.


-From he, who needed to forget.

'Just delete me'
Your number still taunting me
your voice still haunting me.
If it was only that easy
To forget a past, forget a life
Forget a name, forget a light,
It wasn't easy at all.
I've been tempted to scroll down
Find your name and hit call
But I've been scared of what to say
And curtain draws on another day
Yet I still haven't said a word to you.

Your number and name screams
'Just delete me'
But I always choose to live in heartbreak
Regret my mistakes
And keep your number and name
in my phone.

'Just delete me'
Your number and name screams
But I'm too scared of forgetting you...
