You are the moon
the precious moon
fleeting above the clouds;
out of my reach.

For me the earth
the lonely earth
basking in your radiance;
in a daze.

I gaze at you
the brilliant moon
even if you wax or wane;
until I am no more.

You are one with the heavens
I a speck of dust in the earth
Meeting you in this desolate lands
Must be fate or a curse.

The unimaginable heights you reached
And my continuous struggle for existence
Acts that never fit together
Lives that won't intertwine.

My selfish wish of love
Your selfless works for life
Will our never ending horizons meet
Or will this vigorous heart burn out.
~
we are breathing the same air
we are looking at the same skies
we are living in the same world*

but why are our hearts are not beating in the same rhythm?

Lost in this world without a bearing
Like a message in bottle at sea
Carried by waves of different sizes
Drifting at the waves command
Momentarily settles on the shore
Then taken away by salty waters
Pushed down hard from the surface
A hurried resurface to gasp for air
It is a never ending cycle
Being stranded and then washed away
A game of patience and struggles
Till someone picks me up and keep me safe
There will always be someone who is waiting for you settle on their shore.

I miss you like it was natural
A small reflex of the mind
Resurfaced the feelings
I was really trying to hide
Urges from the thoughts of you
Makes me teary eyed
I really want to be with you
Will there be a chance?
I need an answer.

I have felt a storm surging from within
A sensation so chilling underneath the skin
A condensed cloud of emotions pouring in
A kamikaze of different feelings.

The storm that leaves a person confused
With different emotions that were fused
With a choice of feelings to be diffused
With a brain and heart scarred and bruised.

I don't know if this is luck
But I do know my life *****
With a gift that made me learn to love
Then a word that destroys it
Leaving people hurt and scarred

Maybe this is what I'm good at
Destroying things that I built
Smashing relationships I gained
Giving up when I'm almost there
No courage to live no more.

I never want this things to happen
But I may be destined for this
A life in solitary and silence
In a cold lifeless lonely room
Waiting in the corner for my ending soon.
Forgive me for this.
