How do I put into words?
The moon is over and above enchanting,
After catching a glimpse of you!
For all of eternity,
My diary shall bear,
Two imperishable details,
My penmanship,
And, your name!
My quest will continue,
Till the end of time,
Across all realms,
And, the spacetime continuum,
Beyond all known dimensions,
While chartering new destinations,
For that one blessing,
To lay my eyes on you again,
Even amidst a hurricane,
And, feel what I felt before,
For the first time even more!
I asked my heart,
Time and again,
Over the span of time,
And, I know now the ultimate truth,
A realisation as pleasant as the moon,
About what poetry is,
And, that is you!
I wonder how many times,
I've treasured you,
Looking at you,
From yonder and near,
But, not once,
Have my yearning eyes been lost,
And, gone past the twinkle in yours.
You are what you are!
But, do you know who you are?

You are...

What's between desire and greed,
What's between a longing and a blessing,
What's between time and the space continuum,
What's between the rise and the fall,
What's between direction and an ambition,
What's between relief and cheer,
What's between my sanity and peace,
What's between the favoured and the pure,
What's between an infatuation and tenderness,
What's between the beginning and immeasurable eternity,
What's between magic and mayhem,
What's between aggression and grace,
What's between stillness and elation,
What's between perseverance and tranquility,
What's between a crusade and a pilgrimage,
What's between a prayer and gratitude,
What's between my reality and fantasy,
What's between Aphrodite and Athena,
What's between surrender and defiance,
What's between priority and integrity,
What's between an obsession and a fascination,
What's between existence and extinction,
What's between style and elegance,
What's between an adventure and a celebration,
What's between beauty and allure,
What's between creation and the universe,
What's between life and mercy,
What's between love and remembrance...

And, you are more!
Would you ever know?
What that small smile,
At the corner of your precious lips does?

The sweet surrender of man,
For your love across an aeon.
My heart says,
Looking at you,
The finest this world has ever seen,
Beauty this realm is so keen,
To yearn more everyday,
So, no matter what may come,
You'll be there to stay,
Though in your heart I may not dwell,
But, my eyes will tell,
That you are the epitome,
Of nature and the heavens,
And, a godsend,
For, you are perfection,
The quintessence of a creation,
And, the testimony of entirety,
In all of eternity!

•°• A Twisted Classic •°•

I don't want to set the world on fire
I just want to start
To burn what's left of your heart

You took my heart as my one desire
Now I hate you
For all you did and didn't do

i feel their eyes on me
and can't help but wish
they were yours
your stare always enough
to set me alight
pinning me in place
a lamb longing for the wolf
for only you
can capture me so wholly
like prey greedily awaiting the hunt
their eyes find mine
and all i see is you.
your name on my lips in a fervent prayer.
