not sure if it’s a song

my ear gathers or a

story gently murmured

out of the blue water

sailing between ridges

innumerable notes

I listen to these secret

codes I lightly stare

at the creases an

opening on the

improvising

"Welcome to the world of Crazy Cool"
The author said as he took her by the hand and guided her throughout this land
She was amazed at how even though they were cartoons, the look and feel we're almost lifelike
She became intrigued by her surroundings with the more and more she saw
As they were walking the sheriff's car of Crazy Cool pulled up right beside them
This one seemed different from the other characters in the comic book world
Although all of the characters seemed lifelike, this one in particular seemed a little too lifelike

"What's going on here?"
The sheriff said with a frown
"What are you strangers doing in this Crazy Cool town?"
And that's when he saw her, this beautiful woman dressed in all white
He might as well have fallen to his knees, not even putting up a fight
The author grew weary, for he secretly desired her too
"Hey smack that look off your face. Yeah, I'm talking to you"

Had the craziest dream
That someone else stole you away from me
And said that they could give you everything you ever wanted and more
They extended their hand and you let out yours
You turned and looked back at me as he drew you away
I stood there with my hand out
Lifeless, couldn't move
My mind wanted to but my body didn't
So I woke up frantically
You weren't beside me
But then I saw you come from the other room
And I held and caressed you so tight
And whispered to you
No one is take something as special you away from me
I love you so much

She buries her face in between her arms
Amidst disgust and embarrassment
A girl unclothed
A night she can't forget but doesn't remember
The question remains what got into her?
Who got into her?
The former you can blame on the liquor
The latter doesn't seem to matter
Because she doesn't seem to care
But who was cruel enough to leave her all bare
Maybe it was the same one that drew on her face when she passed out
Maybe it was the same ones that tossed her in the bathroom tub to clean off her *****
All of this night, something she never wanted

Just an ordinary girl by day
Avid comic book reader by night
She loved the comic, Crazy Cool
Read one before bed each night
One day she ran to the comic book shop
To buy the latest issue
Then she saw it was him
The author of Crazy Cool
They locked eyes
She, mesmerized
Asked for an autograph, her real intentions were a disguise
Not to him, he wrote down his number on the inside page
Just the thought of meeting him, left her in a daze
Next day, she gave him a call and he asked him to come meet her
When she arrived at his place, she was surprised no one was there to greet her
She found a comic book with a note that said turn this page
And there he was looking up at her, she collapsed in a daze

Raconteur we all are
Narrating our anecdotes
Not many willing audience
You keep them close to your heart
Maybe one day someone will listen
Peering at your beautiful heart
A traveler with compassion
Willing to walk with you
Noting down every detail
Weaving a story of togetherness
Bonding over the stories
The raconteur
Will have finally met another
Sharing life’s anecdotes
Embracing every event
And celebrating together
Come what may
Who can tell wild stories?

stories
where
dragons fly and
roar

stories of mist
curling over
the
still waters
of an icy pond

stories of time and space
unfolding before
golden eyes -
known by wiser
minds than mine

who can tell
the stories that
reawaken
our
stuttering hearts

I love you and i hate you at the same time
I'll never leave you forever, no matter ever, whatever but however
I'll be soft like a feather
For good or worse
Like friends since birth
Well that's worth when all your life turns  
Like saving planet earth
I want to leave you think about all the things i said
I want to kiss you, hug you and even make love to you in bed

I don't want to just be another friend
Just because you're dating that ****** called Ted
Don't you remember the first time we met
I was outside of your house playing football with my friends
You came by and Since then i couldn't keep my eyes off you
I even got struck in the face by the ball because of you
But you were the one
So nothing stopped me from getting to you

We were both bullied at school because we weren't cool
And i was weak and fragile so i couldn't stop it from happening
But one time i intervened and made a fool out of myself
Got the **** beaten out of me
But atleast i fought for our honour
But thinking of it all just doesn't matter anymore
Because you were so afraid of what people say
That you covered yourself with anguish and pain
I tried and tried to embrace and caress you
but you kept pushing me away and away

"Where was Ted when you were alone and blue?" i asked her

She said "Our love was make believe"

"Then why can't you come back to me?"

"I.. I.. I  SIMPLY  CAN'T!!"  

But how could you be so heartless
I loved you the most
You were like my best friend from 6th grade
Look at all the things i've made
In the end, i wish you were ...
No you say the ending
Cause i got fed up
With this little love story
Like Romeo and juliet
