Those distant leaden cirrus clouds
Do not resemble your wild curls anymore
That midnight smell of vanilla and lavender in my backyard
Does not make me want to drive up to your house and nestle between the freshly showered perfumed folds of your skin like before
The ocean no longer reminds me of your eyes
And I've become careful enough to resist myself
From diving into a sparkling pool of lies
Your voice does not reside
in the cradle of my heart
like it used to
Wine and mushy cookies
no longer make me hungry
for you like before
What actually resembles us now
Are these ashes from my half finished cigarette
Slowly falling on the floor
It's smoke that I inhale
And this burn in my chest
Along with these memories
that I regret I made
With someone like you

Our hearts beat in perfect harmony
A beautifully orchestrated
Rhythmic melody
Of a love that never ceases
To grow
But glistens with time
Like the sparkling galaxies
So hold my hand
Sit by my side
Lets cherish this love
Our priceless gem
And sing a duet
Meant for you and me

A slight ache in my chest
Becomes clearer and stronger
Whenever I see that distant look
Slowly spread in your almond shaped hazel eyes
And those scarlet lips
Shiver tremulously
As if struggling to hold
Those last bits of resilience
Threatening to fade into an abyss of oblivion
At that moment
all I really wish
Is to traverse the distance of your gaze
Climb upon that nameless horizon
Dive into the infinite darkness
That has wrenched your source of happiness
Ruthlessly devoured a prominent piece of you
And return back with a speck of hope
Anything that stirs your anticipation
relinquish your source of misery
Revive your languished faith
Makes you gather your shattered pieces
And wrap you in one of those embrace
That turns you sanguine and buoyant again
Cause no matter what I say
Something inside me fails to believe
That you will ever return
To how you used to be
Before this calamity fractured your resolve
Beyond repair

Winter penetrated inside me
Turning my vision misty
My eyes became fixated
Upon the endless snow
That shrouded the lush greens
The frigid gales lacerated me
Carved wounds upon my pale skin
Crippled every inch of my body
And I cried for warmth
To melt this blood
that had condensed and congealed upon me
At last the tides of salubrity came
with the radiant waters of spring
And I watched them baffled
As they washed over me
The thorns of ice protruding from my skin
Trickled away without resisting a bit
Never could I fathom
How a ferocious ball of fire
Possessed an incredible ability to heal
With such a dexterity
I affiliated its searing flames with destruction
But it turned an arctic heart
About to succumb under talons of grief
Back Into a supple muscle
Rippling under a rhythmic beat
chiseled it further
So it remained insulated from future calamity
I just needed to wait and believe
Something better was meant for me

I can dream without you
And I do not wake up in the morning
Thinking about you
I do not wish anymore
How we could have been together
Just me and you
Our love is burned beyond repair
It's ashes have dissipated into the thin air
The reality is mine to endure
I no longer walk with eyes half closed
I have ceased to believe
That what i see is what it actually is
Nothing is as it appears to be
So tread carefully
Even if you are a seasoned warrior
Love can induce cracks
Even in a hardened skin
No, I still believe in wishing upon shooting stars
And swimming in constellations
In someone's eyes like before
As a glimmer of hope refuses to fade
It's undying and fathomless
As the forget me not skies above
Although it hurts a little bit
In the depths of my being
Where I welcomed you
With open arms
and took you in
But the pain is a lot less
And not how it used to be
My heart still beats perfectly
See I'm fine
I can survive
Its not as difficult
As I thought it would be

No one is chasing you
You're chasing that
Which is momentary
You're chasing those
Who aren't exceptional
Those that are mortals
Just like you
Does that which you chase
Follows you back
Or is it a one sided pursuit
That takes your energy time and again
A hunt which makes you believe
That maybe if you succeed
in catching that which you covet
Then something which you dream about
Will become a delightful reality
And you will be standing on the threshold
Of something new
A chase to find a new way
A race to discover a new place
A hunt to unearth a route
Which could erase the remains
Of that which is bound to stay
A pursuit for lasting bliss
Anything rather than nothing
Which will never chase you back
In this universe which is driven by
Utter changelessness

Is it too late
To run back into your arms
The sun hasn't dipped deep enough
The birds are still singing their love songs
Can I play with your hair
You can run your fingers along my neck
It isn't summer yet
But the cool breeze feels so refreshing
As it blows across our tousled hair
Will you whisper sweet nothings in my ears
I promise I won't shake if it tickles
But don't you pause
Let your breath caress every inch of my skin
Lets dance beneath the evergreen trees
The night is still young
And the sky is still blushing
Lace your fingers around mine
Lets see the flowers bloom again
And pluck away the weeds of melancholy
Is it too late
To gather the remnants of our love
Pile them up neatly
Smile once again together
At its abundance
Meant for you and me
