Eyes made of galaxies
Colors radiating like sunrise in the morning
Giving me a vibe of a new beginning
Telling me those untold hopeful stories

How can you shine in the darkest alley?
How can you relive a dead lady?
Your eyes that couldn't lie gives me life
Your eyes, your eyes kept me alive

One look at my eyes and you read my mind
One glance at my soul and my heart pumps blood
One stare from you and I am hypnotized
Hypnotized to work all day even if I'm drained

Your eyes does all of these
It has magic, it casts spells
And I am someone willing to submit
Because you are my only reason to still breathe
Let's appreciate how transparent and secretive the eyes of someone could be. Sooo powerful.

There is an entire universe
inside her head. And I'll be
kidding myself if I say I am
beginning to understand her,
when all I've ever done is just
catch a glimpse of the galaxies
within, through her eyes.

Now, despite having nebular
thoughts, what I know is that
I will neither fully grasp what's
going on in there nor will I ever
fathom the simplicity and
complexity of her soul.

But that's okay.
I'll love her, anyway.
random thoughts. alcohol-fuelled.

you have galaxies in you that no one’s ever seen before.

staring into your abyss is where i find myself evermore.

i am lost in the chaos of your eyes and i do not mind.

i could study your swirls of color every second until forever.

i do not need your hands on me to feel,

your disputed love seeps into my skin from across the room;

quite surreal.

your shooting stars ignite flames in me that cannot be extinguished.

even after you’ve walked away, i am still burning for you.

you scattered stars across my darkened skies;

who knew they’d all be laced in goodbyes?

she met him and everything
fell into place
each moment leading up to
one another
infinite timelines colliding
in space
creating galaxies
in their eyes
hearts exploding
across the night sky
We sealed our fate
when our eyes met each other's;
When I saw you
I envisioned every possible future
about to materialise into reality's present.

We sealed our acquaintance
with the firm shake of a hand,
looking forward to working with you
was all the pleasure I anticipated.

We sealed our friendship
with a hug;
We shared many thoughts,
we valued each little insight we had.
We shared some laughs,
exchanged smiles.

See, relationships prove to be
the bedrock of civilisation
and the connections between us
felt like kingdoms of galaxies
under our command

I envisioned every single possibility with you.
Yet, I cannot see through the next step
When we shall seal our fate with a kiss,
and journey through the storms of life
together

With you by my side.
Hopeless romantic.

This has always been my favorite month
But this year brought so much more meaning to the month that I love so much.
The morning summer breeze caused my hair to whip into my face.
Usually, that would cause me to put my hair up.
But you like my hair down, so I suffered through it.
As I’m sitting on my front porch, I look over at you.
We both have our cup of coffee in hand.
I take a deep breath in and think to myself,
“Nothing could make this moment more perfect.
You, me, and coffee all on the front porch.”
