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!
If weakness is unveiled

Would a foe be a friend?




If your skin read like braille


Could that friend be a lover?

Scared
Of
Every second
Of
Every minute
Of
Every day
Spend a lot of time in areas of gray
Moved to the margins, before getting lost in the fold
Waiting for the one bump in the road
A proverbial tale retold
The one thing
That ends every dream,
That costs everything
Leading back too a familiar nothing
Because why?
Because I
Have
Never been perfect
I've
Never been worth it
I've
Never been proven different
I'm
Not worthy of any of it
I beg constantly,
Prove me wrong
Somebody,
Anybody,
Is there nobody?
Not a single soul
Willing and able
Too prove the fable
Let me
At least see
How it'd be
Too belong
Family
Friends
Lovers
Maybe even an enemy or two,
Prove I was wrong thinking no one would come along
I've put my desperate plea in a song
With compassion in the composition
The right music hits the heart strings some
Just grasping for leverage, eyes fixed on the sun
I don't want to want to be wrong
But the list can't really be zero people long
Don't let that be the conclusion I land on
So fuuckin' lie to me...
I don't know if I can count on another day
With my own truth hanging over me
That no one claims too see
Woe is me
