I used to walk around
with my head held high
untouched and untainted
by the ugly side of the world
I was so innocent
so pure
but now
I see the tainted,
rough and harsh
side of the world.

beware when you fall in love
with an artist
be it a painter, a singer, or poet

for the artist will
paint you
with strokes and hues
in shapes of every kind

sing about you
with heartbreak lyrics
and feelings which rhyme

write about you
with the simplest words
and a secret message she wants to say

beware of the artist,
and her love
one wrong move
and you're an artwork in her display

It is a blessing and a curse
    to want everything too much
to feel everything so deeply
    and to dream vividly and big.

Come as you are
  no accessories
      no extras
         they are simply distractions
             make your mind bare
               vulnerable
                   I want to explore your mind
                     make flowers grow
                        make smiles sprout
                           in even the darkest
                             saddest parts of you

In my storm
you were the gentle whisper
that calms the mad waves..*
A stray of light
from summer sun
that gives warmth in the cold
This battle I fought alone is no more,
with your touch that fills up what’s missing
Emptiness is no more with just a breath that I take from you
You willingly offered,
Forgetting everything that should matter
For a moment, though I know this is not love
But for the first time, I felt right
Even if it is wrong
I don’t know what you see in me
I don’t know if I deserve this
But somehow I know
These memories with you
I will cherish and keep
The soothing words of want and admirations

I don’t want to know when this ends
I just want to live for a moment
