I've always been a dreamer
Take a walk with me
I'll show you what it's like
To see colours so vivid, it attacks your senses
To picture stories that can entertain for hours
To make the world a canvas of your mind

You're down to earth.
Practical.
Pragmatic.
Rational.
Take me on a walk
I want to see the world through your eyes
You see the world as it is
Yet you find the beauty in it

Teach me your secrets and I'll teach you mine

In a sea of unfamiliarity
Your face was one
that caught my eye

NOT in a sense you'd think

I felt as if I already knew you
Like reaching out to
my mirrored self
An invisible force pulling me
towards you
Overwhelmingly irresistible

I want to know you
Every. Little. Detail
Every. Insignificant. Happening
Everything that encompasses
The individual
that is you

Whenever you're near
I sense your presence
The calling of a soul
to another

There's something about you
that's just so  **intriguing

Opening slowly in soft whispers
Blooming with crescendos and riffs
Reaching a passionate frenzy
**Till death stills all

There are those days
When you just wander around aimlessly
Shrouded in hazy daydreams
letting your feet take you places
It is on such journeys
that you end up there
Again

The path so familiar
calling to your inner desires
Against my better judgement
there I was
Again

My dark paradise
Where I was the happiest
Where I endured pain
and suffered loss
like I have never done
Before

Admitted into the heart of it all
Now looking in
as an outsider

She was beautiful
He clearly thought so too
as his fingers traced the contours of her face
Looking at her with so much
love and adoration

Perhaps
even more than he ever did
with me

I stood there
Frozen
A ****** of another's love
I should have left
But the pain
was better than **numbness

She was a beautiful girl
radiant and bright
A freshwater pearl
glowing with inner light

The world tried to beat her down
Submit to the gloom and despair
in jealousy and hatred she drowned

Her glow masked by the water
murky and dark
She fought hard against the saltwater

I saw her dying
slow and tortuous
And sent a knife flying
in mercy

I buried her in a coffin
filled with roses, tulips, lilies and
other flowers whose names
I have long forgotten

I placed her coffin in my heart
the only warmth left in my body
With every beat
my heart aches

I think of the girl
who was too good for the world

Another mistake
Another mishap
Adds up to the wrongdoings of humans
The number keeps increasing

Humanity tried hard to be perfect
Unable to accept that we are but flawed creatures

Truth be told
Accidents and mistakes help us progress
For the greatest inventions were creations of accidents
And mistakes the secret of knowledge

I am a coward
I dare not confess my heart
For fear of rejection
I don't wish to spoil the friendship we have

Declaring love
is more courageous than facing a hungry lion
I long to tell you so bad
Yet fear is holding me back
I hope someday, I can find my courage
Before, it is too late
