I like a crisp apple
I like the way the sunlight hits my bedsheet in the morning
in a perfect square
I like the movement of wind in leaves
And the way circumference of a circle is always pi times the diameter
no matter what numbers you put in
I like the happiness in small things

Achy leaky Heart
Achy leaky Heart
What can I do
if she's torn you apart?
What can I do
if it's not you
she chose to be a part?

O' won't you tell me
My
Achy leaky Heart
Achy leaky Heart.

For the last time and forever
They pulled away from each other.
Their intertwined fingers unravelling
Like threads coming apart.

You had me at hello
Before I knew it, I could no longer say no.
Days became weeks, weeks became months.
You took my heart, not in pieces but in chunks.

Running my fingers through your long black hair
Puts me at ease and removes all my despair.
Looking at you,
Your face
Your eyes
Your lips
Puts my entire world to a standstill.
Something only you can do, against my will.

I'm scared.
And I try to act like I don't care.
But every time I try to walk away from it all,
I find myself looking back for you.
With my back against the wall.

What do I do with this feeling inside me?
I wrapped it up and gave you my heart as plain as it can be.
But even then, it wasn't meant to be.
What do I do now, how can I be free?

If I bury my feelings will I be free?
Or will it just put me in a prison, my heart cold and empty.
If I give you my heart, my everything, will I then be free?
Or will it just leave me stranded, out in the stormy seas?

Free to love, or free of love.
What I do, how do I be free?

Please don't get tired of me.

Because as I look into your light brown eyes,
I gasp for air as I drown in their warmth.
Because as I stare at the way your lips curve when you grin,
I feel an explosion in my chest.

Because as you scrunch up your face and roll your eyes,
I laugh and look up to you like you're my night sky.
Because as I feel the pressure of your body against mine,
I hold onto you tighter as a tsunami of adrenaline washes through me.

Because as I feel the softness of your lips on mine,
I kiss you like you're my miracle.

So please don't get tired of me,
Because you're my miracle.
Written by my other half. For me, it was one of the most beautiful things I've read.

Destination home...
Making my way
Sleepy heads leaning
End of the day

Different people
Diverse ethnic races
Same endpoints
For us nameless faces

Where we're headed
Timeless cues
Rain-stained windows offer
Only blurred views

Beautiful display
Droplets colliding
Like liquid missiles
Crashing and merging

Yellow street lamps
Neons on buildings
Vehicular signals
Intermittent flashings

Reds, greens and ambers
Fighting for attention
Blues, whites and their hues
Feast for perception

Myriad colours
Refracted and broken
Prism induced dispersal
Little light show haven

Quite the spectacle
This dance and flight
Kaleidoscopic effect
Between water and light

Rain didn't abate
Unleashing full fury
All of us still safe
Capsule of tranquillity

Watching the chaos
Still silently looking
Overwhelming wonder
Heart is choking

Found myself tearing
At the sight of this view
Realised for certain
That I'm missing you...
Bus ride home in a rainstorm. Beautiful...

I search through the vast ocean of bodies, scanning through unfamiliar faces until finally I find the one I'm looking for. As our eyes lock, the world around me fades into nothing. Every colour bleeds away and all that's left, right in front of me, is her.

And the colours exist only for her.

One step, two steps. Closer and closer. My heart starts beating, pumping, pounding at the sight of her. Without a single motion, she paints a smile on my face, and she herself laughs.

The sound of her laughter purges the air of pestilence. It reverebates throughout my body, injecting so much colour into my blood stream that I experience a series of happiness, ecstscy and joy all at the same time.

Finally, she's in my arms.

The instant that she is, the world of grey collapsed onto itself, quickly followed by a stream of infinite colours emanating from our intertwined bodies, violently painting colours into everything around us.

Suddenly, silence.

Just the familiar scent of hers.
Just the familiar curve on her waist.
Just the familiar small of her back.
Just the familiar feel of her hands in mine.
Just the familiar pair of eyes looking back at me.

Everything, is complete.
