Him
Amidst the crowd,
I try to see.
Him unknown,
a mystery to me.

Gaze met once,
a fleeting chance.
I told myself,
no mutual glance.
just felt like writing it...

She gazes at me, those stone-cold eyes,  
Piercing deep, where my heart pumps.  
That stare, a curse, of sweet deception,  
Binding my mind in desperate obsession.  

My eyes bleed salt, my knees start to quake,  
I plead for forgiveness for my audacity to stare.  
For gazing upon that divinely carved face,  
I pray for her eyes to let me leave.  

I push my fingers deep into my eyes,
casting a shadow over her devilish smile that keeps me bounded.
I dig them deeper into the skull,
I feel the past mistakes,
the green fields, and her.
It the only cure that slowly stops the ache of her hands,
deep inside my ribs.
That gaze keeps me on the floor like a **** dog
Making me beg like a dog for a bone
Making me talk like a dog barking

A new leaf,
shining in sunlight,
a single drop on top,
as heavy as a thought.

I can’t speak,
but if you can,
read my eyes please.
but sadly, not many can understand the language of eyes....

When you're done with chores,
Taking the dishes to the sink,
gently rubbing each until one's
left that you mindlessly rub-
Is it true that I'm gone?

Albums of long lost memories
kept aside your closet beneath
neatly folded clothes- when touched,
you avoid them intentionally-
Is it true that I'm gone?

When pages of book flap in wind-
passing by you beside window,
your vacant gaze upon a line-
that stirred thoughts behind time,
Is it true that I'm gone?

Why is it that your coffee
left on table often gets cold?
Distracted- you sense an hour
passes by like your secret brief sigh.
Is it true that I'm gone?

Late at night, when lights go off-
birds go numb, in screaming silence,
is it that you still make a wish
for me in your dreams?
Is it true that I'm gone?
Once a man had died in war. But he left a letter for his wife. A letter of confrontations. A letter of unuttered love.

To drown in your sirenic gaze
is what I yearn for the most,
even if it leads to my
inevitable undoing.

I gaze at the clouds
The way I gaze at you
I find them lovely
No matter what they do
Just like how I find you pretty
Even though you think yourself as a misery.
The day I fell in love with the clouds.

For sake of argument let's pretend you're right
Smiled to prove that I'm doing alright
Wake
Freedom left idle too long
Seemed to be unsure of where it belonged
Who are you taking independence from my arms?
Fireflies caught in fictitious mason jars
To warm dreams on nights dark and cold
For the sake of principle I break the mold
I smile but know it isn't real
Last line drawn separating what I feel
Gaze still trained on love already gone
Saga discontinued from now forever on
