Sail On

And just for a moment
There was a total blackout,
Our spheres went all dark
A ray of sunshine couldn't penetrate through,
The atmosphere was misty and dense
So, we kept sailing on in the deep dark
There's a sandy shore that awaits us,
Where the sun never tires to shine
The soft winds will never go weary
At blowing your long beautiful hair backwards
Where the grains of sand will carelessly,
Yet flawlessly
Decorate your skin
As they carelessly stick
We'll make castles with shore clay,
At least better than the castles in the air
All that we'll never touch
So, we keep sailing on

Even through a rough patch, it's fine to hope for a better outcome
Almost eight billion souls
And all I see in them
is your absence
There was once a man
Who looked at the moon and asked
"Is there anything I could ask,
that you can answer?"
There was no reply,
as expected.

The next morning, there was a dog.
The man crouched down
in front of the dog and asked
"What are you up to today?"
The dog walked past,
as expected.

In the afternoon, there was a girl.
She was sitting on a bench in the park.
The man sat beside her and asked
"Are you waiting for someone?"
She kept gazing at the sunset,
as expected.

Night falls in a pub in the city.
There's a drunken man, had many bottles.
The man approached him and asked
"Is something the matter?"
The man finally collapsed after too much drinks,
as expected.

Lastly, in a room there are antiques.
One is a mirror in an intricate frame.
The man looked at the mirror and asked
"How do you feel today?"
There was no reflection,
as expected.

now when I think of love I want to puke,
the thought literally makes me sick to my stomach because I know now what it does to a person

how you lose yourself in someone else and then all of sudden you can't breathe anymore without them

I am promising myself to never be that stretched again,
to give myself a try for once, relying only on my intuition and will to power through life and relationships, never getting too blind to see things as they really are

I wanna know what it's like to be so good alone that the earth shatters when I take a step,
electricity radiates from my skin and my soul is so loud it shouts through my eyes

gr
it really hurts that you could do something;
something so cruel.
leaving me breathless and hopeless.

all i did was care.
all you did was lie.

lies
lies
lies

they're all lies.
why did i believe you?
the idea that someone could care
so deeply for someone like me,
it's ridiculous.

i should have known
you were like all the others.
but i prayed.
i prayed you weren't.

then you let me down with your

lies
lies
lies
I shall take a slice of life
with camera in my hand.
Feel the power of the light,
as I move on the land.

Grab it right from inside air,
and place it in my box.
For a later time I’ll look.
The process, nothing tops    

A picture has 1000 words
embedded in its shot.  
Sometimes even songs are there
that touches a hearts spot.

A slice of life to be savored.
Maybe its of one loved.
Or a scene from nature grand
maybe a shot of dove.

One can take many great shots.
Camera gets pictures fine.    
All you do is move finger,
and then it will stop time.

Maybe you will take close ups,
that makes you see real near.
It will help you to forget
and throw away your care.

Time is grabbed inside the lens.
It acts like magic tool
Take it every place you go,
and you will feel so cool.

One more thing yes I will say.
You must listen you hear  
Cameras are a special thing
to recall life so dear.
