My pen runs dry and I run of words. How do I tell our story? Should I burst into a song and hum a melody? Or dance to the silent rhythm of my heart?

Browsing through the pages of our shared memories, my heart beats faster as our story unfolds and memories start to unravel that weigh heavily in my mind.

Oh tell me how do I say I get lost in your eyes? Or melt into your warm embrace? Or how your love puts me at ease when the world is raging around me?

Will the twinkle in my eyes, the lightness of my feet when I enter a room or the smile that I wear when I’m with you express the unspoken words engraved in the walls of my heart?

May everything I do and everything I am spells the love you have in me when words do not suffice.

When words do not suffice to express what we truly feel, how do we say it without speech?

Serendipity

Words were not required to convey the message held within.
The warmth of your touch when your hand held mine
Just easily melted my frozen heart.

The moment was so perfect, so magical
That felt like all the stars aligned for us
And the universe conspired in our favor,
Allowing two souls to meet in a chance encounter.

Thank You for Breaking My Heart

Thank you for breaking my heart,
splitting it open,
spilling its contents,
the emotions that I was trying to hide.

They’ve become words filling this page
written in ink of crimson blood.

The Story I Will Write

If I would write a novel about you,
The one we talked about
That one day I would write.

It would be a story of story of love and inspiration,
Adventures and misadventures.
The kind of story that we have.

I’ll be careful not to add much drama
And write more funny stuff instead,
The ones that made us laugh until our tummy ached.

Thank God, I’m the author of our story.
I decide how it will end.
And I’ll make sure it’s a happy ending,
Unlike how it actually ended.

I’ll immortalize you in those pages
Words written in blood, sweat and tears.

You may be gone, but even then,
I’ll probably write about you for the rest of my life.

One day I will write a book about us...

Phoenix Rising

We had a spark that dazzled the two of us.
The spark that set me up in flames.

I struggled not to burn.
But the more I did, the more I burned,

Spreading like a wildfire within me,
Devouring everything within its path,
Incarcerating my hopes, my dreams,
My everything.

I feared the fire consuming me,
But I realized that it’s not.
Instead it’s purifying me
So I surrendered to its flames.

You see me burning down to ashes
And dying a thousand deaths.

But from these ashes I shall emerge
Clothed in nothing but my strength,
More beautiful than ever before.

Watch my resurrection…
I am Phoenix… rising.

Strong women fall, but they do not stay fallen on the ground. They get up, dust themselves up and rise again and become stronger, wiser and braver than ever before.

Destiny

I couldn’t scrub you off my memory,
Like a DNA embedded in my being,
A part of me that I cannot erase,
And to obliterate you would mean my utter ruin.

You were a breath of fresh air
In my messy, toxic world.
Without you feels like breathing air without oxygen,
I wouldn’t be able to survive.

Meeting you was not an act of fate but destiny,
Written in the stars long before we were born.
Our souls woven together with invisible threads by the hands of gods.

What You Are To Me

I am wondering what it would be like without you
To roam this earth alone.
Your memories give me the loveliest smile
That lit up my world like Christmas tree.

Though teardrops fall and promises fail
But thoughts of you like butterfly
Giving life a vibrant color
That brightens the garden of my soul.
