We used to see love in each other's eyes
Now, we are blinded by lies
Love and lies.

"I was always ashamed to take. So I gave. It was not a virtue. It was a disguise"
~Anais Nin*


Some give
because they wanted to be recognize
and to be called kind

Some give
because they have a hidden agenda
and will use you in their propaganda

Some give
so that soon
they have something to take
Admit it, we are all driven by selfishness sometimes. Just a matter of personal motive/intention.

A butterfly was first a cocoon, then an ugly caterpillar
Before it becomes a beautiful butterfly
Before it developed wings and fly

After the lightning and thunder and the rain
After the sky unveils its wrath
A rainbow will be seen, the sun will definitely shine

A lovely flower
Was first a small flower bud
Before it can showcase the colorful petals

See how things work?
See how time controls everything?

Don't hurry up things
For there is definitely
a time for everything

Grow your wings,
Wait for the rain to stop
Wait for your beauty to glow

Not too early, never too late
Just in the perfect time
You will shine
Just make sure to sharpen your skills while waiting :)

As I sat,
and watch the clock
tik tok, tik tok
a visitor knocks

Soon as I opened the door
Loneliness steps on the floor
I welcomed him just like before
For he's always there to watch for

Loneliness is consistent
Loneliness is loyal
Loneliness is a friend
Loneliness is always there
I maybe be alone most of the times, but I don't always feel lonely..

I heard the city screaming
My brothers are burning
If this is to end in fire
Then lets all burn together

I see fire
Bringing light
Taking away life

I see fire
color is red
everyone's bled

I see fire
flames high
into the night

I see fire
turning into charcoals
hollowing souls

I see fire
Cover my eyes
Ashes are falling down
from the sky of the town

I heard the city screaming
My brothers are burning
If this is to end in fire
Then lets all burn together
With reference to The Hobbit soundtrack, I See Fire.
I've been hearing firetrucks since yesterday.

Here I sat in my office chair
at the laptop I stare
wailing in despair
counting the time to spare

Meanwhile, when my boss passes by
I act alive and high
put on a smile
and tell him I'm fine

Pretending to work
But in my seat I lurk
An old poem of mine. So hard to pretend. Haha!

I’m in love with the moon
For it never leaves me when the night comes full
It gives light in the dark sky
Which makes me love even more the night

I’m in love with moon
For it shows up every night
When I’m all alone and wanted to plight
When I’m sad and there is no one beside

And I am wishing that you are the moon
So that you’ll never leave me when the night comes full
And you will give me light
Under the sky of the night

But you will never be the moon
For the moon is consistent every night
While you are away and not by my side
Lunatic. Well, atleast the moon is consistent.
