Remember when you held my hand and pulled me a bit closer
You took my hand and placed it on your heart
Your unsteady heartbeat matched mine  
My insides kept churning
My body was in a state of euphoria
You gazed into my eyes
Your eyes were brighter than any cosmic stars
We both unconsciously erased the distance between us
And your lips came down on mine
And my body felt like it was gonna explode
I had the whole damm zoo dancing in my stomach
It felt like an eternity yet within a couple of seconds we gasped for air
And you looked at me and I didn’t know what just happened
You smiled and it had been the best thing I had ever seen

Fairytales let you believe that one day your Prince Charming will come looking for you
The little girl believed
She waited for her prince
She was so caught up
She thought the boy with a mask was her prince
She let him in
She loved him
Her love was so pure that she didn’t think he couldn’t ever lie
But that’s all he did
The only dragon there was to slay were his lies
She couldn’t destroy the very thing she loved
Instead, she let him go
She was a bit broken but she was happy

The radiance of your smile tonight is an intoxicating drug
As you stood in the middle, I was engulfed by an epiphany
You are my heaven
You are the first ray of sunlight in my life
Everything about you captures my heart
You are my wish
All my life a part of me felt empty
It longed for a feeling, the feeling that leaped into my heart as I saw you tonight
We have no need for lifelong vows.
Hold me close
I want to feel everything tonight
I wish to dance my heart away tonight
I just want to live

You lie about everything and anything.
But your eyes don’t.
They hold specks of Golden sunlight
They hint a story: depth of raw emotion
Your eyes are like silky melted chocolate  
They are brown like earth’s fettered beauty melted into golden rays
They are eyes of amber and onyx circling like an eclipse
They are like the color of the earth after it rains
Your eyes are deep pools of raw honey that Winnie the Pooh would beg for
They have a waterfall of innocence
they have me on my knees
- so helplessly yours

Our tomorrow is already pre-planed by yesterday.
Our today is the process of us making it to tomorrow.
Everything has a set order even before we are born.
We are told to go to school, then college, and then find a job, and only then life is complete.
That’s society’s ultimate definition of happiness.
We are always anxious about the past and worried about the future and between all that, we forget to live in the present.  
And when we realize it’s too late

The rusty orange leave dance to the wind, it comes fluttering down
It travels with the breeze, without a destination
Under the twilight, the water mirrors a still sky
The stars glisten and my heart flutters
By dawn, the Sunshine spreads a carpet,
And everything walks on golden hues
Misty mornings, frosted lawns
The wind is blowing a winter song.
Winters coming, butterflies flutter from clover to wood.
The crisp, cool, clean air tickles my toes.
Under the harvest moon, pumpkin patches never looked so good.
Dark days of autumn rain are beautiful as days can be
Oh October how much I love you

The essence of a fresh spring shower still lingers around
The air blows ever so smoothly
the trees never look so green, they are so full of life
Droplets of rain falling from the leaves to the ground
A few drops here and there tickles my cheeks
The foggy clouds have hidden the glistening stars
The moon is veiled by dark clouds
but another moment so beautiful yet to exist
