If it's not too late
Then maybe we can
gift ourselves
With another chance
To be us again
I will apologize
For my mistakes
And you can promise me
That your promises won't break
We'll assure each other
That this time around
We'll make efforts
For a smooth sail
We'll weather through the storms
And brave the downpours
But won't end up
Shipwrecked
And desolate

Caress my soul
With your silken touch
Let your suppleness
Permeate inside
My parched
And jagged contours
And rouse my deadbeat soul
With a mosaic
Of ambrosial emotions
That have been doused
By my scarred hands
A Long time ago
Let me feast
On your presence
Embrace your scintillating aura
And replenish my ashen complexion
With radiant hues
Let me snuggle within your halo
So I may become whole
Once more

Let us sit
Beneath a rosy sunset
And fall like petals
Into each others arms
Let a silken breeze
Caress our skin
And carry away our resentments
To a distant land
Let the starlit sky
Dazzle us tonight
Let the flaxen beam
Of a resplendent moon
Hypnotise us
So we can see galaxies
In each others eyes
Let the music of our heart beats
Suffuse a tranquil silence
And make us smile in delight
Lay beside me
On a soft grass
Let our fingers
Touch for a while
So we can sense
That everything's alright
Before we drift into
A haven of pleasantly vivid dreams
Made up of you and I
And wake up
To find ourselves
Forgetting
To say goodbye

Let me sit
Under your stoic gaze tonight
Do stroke me with your incandescence
And bestow me some peace of mind
Caress me with your warmth
So I may fall asleep in time
But try not to step inside my dreams
Cause if you do
I might not want to wake up
And watch the world
Without you in sight

If many people knew
That words
Once out of our mouths
Can either pierce
A perfectly beating heart
Or caress
A woe-stricken soul
They can either be a balm
And soothe the aching burns and scars
Or lodge as bullets
Inside a mind
Bestowing wounds
To be nursed for a lifetime
They can either make
A skin shimmer with hope
Or strip it of its lustre
Like dull ancient sculptures
If only many people knew
That their words are endowed
With a power so surreal
Which can either save
Or wreak havoc
Then perhaps
Less tears would be shed
More smiles would be exchanged
And this world
Would indeed become
A better place

Im not afraid of the flames anymore
I've been burnt so many times
That these blisters have forgotten
To erode with time
I've stopped using ice
To relieve my anguish now
In this pain
I've carved my home instead

The leaves sway
To the rhythm of our heart beats
The balmy breeze
Envelopes our silhouettes
With a tender melody
The flowering shrubs
Exude an ambrosial scent
Which fills the pores of our skin
And makes it glow
with a warm radiance
Even the stars tonight
Have woven a dazzling scenery
Upon the velvety canvas
Of cerulean skies
But none of these things
Can make this night
As beautiful
As your breathtakingly innocent
Genuinely happy smile
