When I look in the mirror I hate what I see
I look and I see someone unknown to me
But hey that's okay I'll be okay soon
On the way up to heaven, past the moon
Just thinking.

What was Frodo thinking as he sunk under the burden of the one ring*

I'm slipping into the twilight world of shadows sombre grey
No more a world of sunlight
Or of birdsong summer days
Legs weary, sore, I struggle 'neath the weight
But I still must struggle on
To reach the Morgul gate
In my small hands I hold the future of mankind
For them and for their freedom I now must be prepared to die
Why me? Why me? Why was I the chosen one?
But I must think not of the past
But of a new life not yet born
Obviously I would never try to compare myself to the greatness of Tolkien but in my wild imagination I tried to place myself in the mind of Frodo
This is a poem about nothing
not claiming true love nor hate
nor war nor peace nor death

This is a poem about nothing
not loss nor gain
nor win nor lose

This is a poem about nothing
not the greats nor the obscure
not childhood not old age

This is a poem about nothing
not the country you were born
nor the roads you travelled

This is a poem about nothing
not right or wrong
not light nor darkness

This is a poem about nothing
about nothing except your beautiful name
& just how much you matter

Here, I'm gonna get something off my chest
Results, that's all we need, scrap the rest
Just smother us with tests for a key to a chest
That supposedly holds knowledge and while it does, it holds very less

The outcome is what matters to be the best
Success is guaranteed? Hah, more like stress
I know you're under duress so come on just confess
It's so blatant that our certifications are a mess

Does it really matter if I get a B or an A?
It doesn't, and that's what I'm trying to say
The world is becoming increasingly competitive every single day
As long as we have the initiative to learn, it's okay

The main purpose for this isn't to criticise
In fact, the worse it can do is bring some people down to size
Your advice is for us to revise and revise so we can work for the prize
Come on, look beyond the disguise and stop with the lies.
I think I came up with this because I got bad marks on an examination... so yea

Infinite possibilities can happen in a second.
Infinite number of possibilities can change a person's life forever.
Infinite realities can alter the phase of time.
Infinite people can shape you in a good and bad way.

Infinite. Infinite. Infinite. Infinite.

There are infinite things in the world.
The stars in the sky, the sands near the sea, the drops of water in the ocean, and the amount of love that can be given.
Science and theories can count the first three things though but only the person capable of giving the fourth one, would be able to measure it.

It wasn't at first sight.
No, it came much later for me.
The moment I fell in love with you came with much time.
But when I did, I fell flat on my face.
It didn't just sneak into my heart.
In one moment every definition and rumor I had heard of loving feeling like engulfed me like a flame.
From then on, I noticed that your smile was highly contagious.
I began to view your little quirks as precious little parts of you.
It’s extremely tough to tell you how I feel.
All I can tell you is this:
If loving you is anything different from what I feel when I watch you drift into sleep, I don't think I shall ever experience it.
You bring me bright laughter in my darkest moments,
a colorful day in my bland week,
and an engaging conversation when my stress stiffens my words.
For that I thank you My Dear.
I just wanted to try to explain to you how I feel.
I really need help with this. I would love to eventually give this to the one I wrote it about. If you have any suggestions please feel free to tell me. I am very new to this

tell her
tell them you love them
tell them dramatically so they hear you
say it everyday
remind him
tell him
tell her
make it a big deal
it is a big deal
love is everyday
be grateful for days
for love
for your mother and siblings
for your father and his heart
you only have now
it comes and goes by the second
grab all of those seconds
and be gentle

You were at the park, sitting all alone
I slowly walk towards you, like coming back home

You look so devastated, so i red you between the lines
I saw something bright into your eyes that makes me gaze from time to time

An interesting story, written by a majestic multi-awarded author
I want to be with you in a journey, that's all I ever hoped for

To knit some memories with you, to treasure every moments
Replace the aura of this place with pure euphoria elements

I want to be your jester, to tell jokes whenever you want to laugh
To do something distinct, like seeking the 'Great Perhaps'

But then you keep on telling me about this ghost in your past that haunts you
I listened like a child craving for bed time stories, that's what you want to

All of my thoughts suddenly dispersed and tossed like waste,
This will all end soon like my oblivious phase.
We've all been in this situation. An intense feeling towards someone. Our thoughts became connected to each point. Like a constellation. We come to think an adventure with someone whom we liked so deep. But then, it's just an infatuation and it will all end soon.

I hope I explained it well. Forgive me. I'm so drained.
