I used to read your poems
but lately you don't write
you're silent and aloof
you know that isn't right.
You can't close a door once opened
you can't abolish all your dreams
you're a poet of the heart
mustn't fall apart at the seams.
Say what you can in words
they speak the message true
spoken from the heart
the poems will see you through.
A hermit's not your style
a recluse, you are not
never give up writing
of things that you've been taught.
I used to read your poems
I'd read them once again
if you would send them out
(this one's from a poet friend)

if ever

you don’t

feel

like you have a home,

pull me close,

wrap your arms around me,

rest your head on my chest,

close your eyes,

and feel the warmth of the fireplace

resonating from within my heart.

It was more like I was slowly sinking
deeper and deeper each day

You poured your love into me
And it drenched my heart
streamed through my veins
Soaking every single cell of my body
Leaking out of the pores of my skin
And dripping from my fingertips
To bleed into everything I touch

It flooded my chest
And filled up my lungs
Until it spilled out of my mouth
Trickling from my tongue
Saturating every single word I say

It flowed through every part of me
And eventually seeped into my bones
Making all that I am
Crave all that you are

I never fell in love with you
I drowned in it

A chaos that we were
A storm that we went into
Felt like the world has ended right there and then
When you said the word farewell

Every prayers, every wish
Genuine as they came
Every smile, every tears
As real as they came

Perfect is far from what we were
Did we even know what we were?
If we were not to meet each other for another day
Would our heart had anything to say?

The world, now a different place
The scenery, now is just a blur
The colors, all black and white
The sound, is just muted background

When the world heard of us part
It just started crumbling apart
The stars we used to stare on the night sky
They just fall like passersby

Every hug, cold
Every memories, pain
Every smile, forgotten
Everything, lost

But then came the silence
As if its holding victim of patience
Questioning the future and its existence
God knows its not coincidence

If our love was broken
If our love was pain
Why am I keep telling myself
That I would do it all over again?

Let's climb every mountain
Let's dance under the rain
Lets kiss and embrace once again
Let's fall in love again

People celebrate today
A day of love, a day of joy
People profess and confess
A special time once every long year

I see people kiss
They snuggle and cuddle
They say ‘it’s a special day’
And say ‘i love you’

It makes me wonder
What about the other days
Do these souls wonder about each other
Do these souls dream of one another

The universe makes me feel so lucky
And today isn’t really that special to me
Because whenever I’m with you
Every day is a Valentine’s Day

Today i found out


Not only you are the person I want to live with


You are also the one I cannot live without


And for that I will never give up

I used to be the guy you’d run to
The guy who listened to all your stories
The guy who would make you laugh
Yea i used to be that guy

I know i am not anymore
I’m not the guy you would want to see
As soon as you land
I know i am not

The one who put a smile on your face
The one who sing you a song
The one you are dancing with in a dream
Yea that is not me

But it is all alright
I would just stand here
In the middle of your storm
‘Cause i know the sunshine will be worth it

Ten years from now
When you sit and stare at your black coffee
I just wish that the darkness
Will take you back to when our eyes met
