  I won’t depart

  Like others who come and go

  Through the low and intense moments

  of your heart

  I will stay

  To make US complete

  When a girl is in Love

  Everyday

  She wants to be your first hello

  And her last good-bye

  When a girl is in Love

  She will patiently listen

  to all your beautiful lies

  She will learn to accommodate

  all your funny excuses

  In her heart she believes

  she is the one

  to make her man a better person

  Don’t take her feelings

  For granted, my brother

  Because when someday

  she’s finally gone

  You would be the one

  Gnawing your fingers

  Why is it that the bad guys get the good girls…

  And the good girls fall for the bad ones?

  [Just a funny question in my head]

  Reminiscing

  The gentle whisper into my sweet ears

  She says…

  ‘I don’t need too much…

  I just need a safe place

  to keep my fragile heart’

  Her heart Google and the results were you!

  Will YOU be this sincere last one?

  Feelings

  Calmly, Gently

  Rising, Touching, Resting

  The heart expressing emotions

  Heartfelt

  Love and Bullet

  *****

  Going somewhere, getting nowhere

  one step forward, one step back.

  Trapped between past and future

  totally missing present track.

 

  An angelic spirit, wing span apart,

  spoke same language as my heart.....

 

  Worried my song was anything of merit,

  No exceptional genes did I inherit,

  Trepidation taunted; would she accept?

  with fear of loss, took that first step!

 

  Ignoring all risks, ventured into the unknown,

  pushing aside brambles in a forest overgrown.

  Frustration arose like acrid fountain in my throat;

  Like that elusive banana amidst famished monkeys,

  like man without a boat, crossing treacherous moat!

 

  My heart’s expedition:

  I am that bad hunter,

  missing your heart anytime I shoot.

  Your warm breath,

  melting a man’s heart

  like summer’s ice cream.

  Would I ever win this race for your love?

  Where it will forever be about US in my dreams!

 

  Trapped between peace and war

  that journey to you seems unending.

  I feel you are the ransom wind of love;

  That keeps incubating,

  my half-dead heart.

  Your every thought guides

  my blinded senses to skip the thorns in the roses,

  Your shadow becomes the spell,

  That wakes me up in the midnights

  with our names married together on my cell phone.

  My love story can’t be told

  without being lost by your beautiful architecture…

 

  If I were a flower, in her hand,

  I would boast of being

  the most cherished garden in the world,

  Where her every tear will forever nourish me.

 

  I had to tarry several nights alone,

  While she was gone.

  With no wings to fly…

  My inner being sung a little song for her;

  Deja vu to its beat and rhythm,

  I danced to the tune of my own kind of music.

 

  I am not a fan of promises

  I promise to make one journey for you

  ‘I will cross the world for another like you’

  With happy tears, I sigh and say

  I can’t wait

  Just one more day?

  Not to kiss your lips,

  but to tell your lips an untold tale

  ‘I love you’

  Hearty

  Deeply, Gentle

  Caring, Dreaming, Charming

  Selflessness is my religion.

  Human

  Long Distance Love

  *****

  Forever, I want to belong to you

  I find myself losing touch

  with reality trying to imagine

  why I can no more hold your hands

  I want to steal some of the beauty

  in your eyes to feed my sunken eyes

  It is not easy to get used to what I was not used to---

  walking alone, eating alone, crying alone

  Give me wings

  I want to fly with time,

  to make our past memories

  blend with today’s loneliness

  into a future of happiness

  I can’t remember

  how many times I sub-consciously responded to my name

  Thinking you just called to me.

  I can’t tell how many times,

  I thought every missed call on my phone came from you.

  I wish one of the hallucinations knock

  on the door today met reality

  to welcome you back home for your feast.

  It is not easy giving up,

  that is why this force called love

  keeps eating the inside of me

  I feel me dying inside,

  with each passing second without your touch

  I chose this long impossible journey;

  My heart tells me

  it is where I belong with you

  No regrets,

  you rightfully stole what belonged to US

  Perfect crime

  Last night,

  I bought two pair of shoes,

  one for you and one for me

  When will you return

  to occupy your empty pair of shoes,

  so I could tell you

  I still know your perfect foot size?

  Anytime I am asleep in my body

  I am awake with you in spirit

  My dreams are just dreams

  without your presence

  If your picture could talk,

  it will tell you

  my recent obsession to your fantasies

  I have become a solo musician,

  your name the last song on my lips

  I wish you were here

  to buy my single hit song of you

  with the price of your charming presence

  You got my emotions

  always hunting for you

  as that special grain

  among the beach’s sand

  Your thoughts preoccupy me

  and won’t give me a second to understand

  these strange feelings

  You may be far away

  I take consolation

  for my loneliness that you exist

  You are only a mirage

  of million miles away,

  yet beat so close to my heart.

  I can feel you, you live right inside my heart.

  Every night, before my bed calls me

  I count the stars in the skies

  Hoping that our paths would cross

  as you sit there naming the beautiful stars

  after our fond memories together.

  The same sky that covers you and I

  One day will wipe away the tears

  that easily fall from our eyes

  And condense them back

  into the Heav’ns

  as rain for our glorious meeting forever.

  Love is…

  …when you tell someone everything about you,

  a
nd they are still willing to walk with you.

  …like a mirror you gaze in every day,

  giving you more than enough reasons

  to embrace each moment with a smile.

  …a journey that takes you a million miles

  into the heart of a stranger,

  to discover them without posting a price.

  …like an employer that employs you for the job

  and ‘God bless you’ is written on your check.

  …like a popular song

  that is played over and over again

  and no one gets bored about it.

  [Mr. Dj give us moreeeee]

  ...like a seedling that needs time to grow,

  after it has been properly nursed.

  …waking up… and feeling that moment should pause,

  tomorrow should wait,

  and yesterday should have been that moment again.

  Love is Love!

  When eyes connect

  *****

  When we meet, we look deeply into our eyes

  When our eyes greet, we see a story

  When the story is told, we see us

  When I see US, your eyes are yet a mystery, BUT

  When you said, ‘I do’

  I found me in your eyes, as one.

  When Reality met You

  ****

  I like you

  the way

  You are

  No matter what the world says

  I don’t mind

  If you have no special looks

  Any salon or book

  Can rate you from behind

  That’s their mind

  To me

  You are my treasured find

  In that natural face

  I see a precious smile;

  my heart can’t stop meditating on

  I wish the greatest Scientist

  Had yet discovered a calculator,

  to measure the depth

  of this out of world experience in me…

  Your mistakes,

  I promise to ignore

  You are human just like me

  So far as you pour your imperfection,

  Out from your heart

  I am ever willing for us

  to be together in our imperfection

  so as we can rise together to perfection

  With the prize of a bestselling story to tell

  I cherish your all

  Impoverished to improvised

  Your heart’s fragility my priority

  To restore to dignity

  I opened a bank account

  for you in my heart

  Filled with undying love

  Take a daring walk towards me

  And harvest your treasures

  If you ever asked me

  what would I change in you?

  My gentle voice would compose a new song…

  When reality meets you tomorrow

  [Just remain same for me]

  And that would change me,

  forever for you.

  I adore you just the way you are.

  Beauty in Love

  *****

  Love like you have never felt pain

  Love like you have never had heartache

  Love like you have never been disappointed

  Love like you have never lacked

  Love like you have never failed

  Love like you have never been cheated

 

  Dream like you want it all done today

  Grab it like this is the last chance you got

  Cherish it like your long sought appetite.

 

  Love like you have never felt pain

  Love like you have never had heartache

  Love like you have never been disappointed

  Love like you have never lacked

  Love like you have never failed

  Love like you have never been cheated

 

  Soften your hearts,

  Let love

  Like a dove

  Drink from the gentle flowing banks

  Of the rivers of beauty in you

 

  Love like you have never felt pain

  Love like you have never had heartache

  Love like you have never been disappointed

  Love like you have never lacked

  Love like you have never failed

  Love like you have never been cheated

  Beauty cannot exist without love,

  Every one of us has something beautiful

  To share with the world

  Whether young or old,

  Release love and there lies the prize of beauty

  Suffice for everyone.

  Missing Love

  *****

  I'm surrounded by people,

  but am still lonely.

  Food and liquid just worshipped my throat this supper

  But craving for your soul's food,

  made my inner being feel

  Empty right-away.

  The luxury of sleep

  pampers my gentle body everyday

  but as soon as I am awake,

  lonely hours trouble the little rooms

  I reserved in my heart sacredly for you

  I wish I could undo this madness

  that sacrifices my nobility for follies.

  Oh reality, wake me up from this illusion

  that drowns me in my own tears

  the more I try... the more... [hmm]

  I am a willing slave

  to that abstract thing called love

  I know some people won't understand my way today

  but someday,

  when our two apart worlds find solace

  it'll cause

  the MAJESTIC sun to flow

  and the MIGHTY oceans to glow.

  Missing without You

  *****

  If only I crawled fast enough to touch you

  before you said goodbye

  I guess I would have been more obsessed

  with your haunted memories

 

  If the price for Heaven was ANYTHING earthly

  It would be YOU

  Your little details

  raised heavens in my heart

 

  If burden could be shared on Judgment Day

  I’ll sweetly care for yours

  Because, you risked your all for my curses

 

  If the genie gave me one last wish

  I won’t ask much …

  just promise me a surprise visit soon

  My emotions won’t cry for help anymore

  Your arms will be my solace once more

  I‘ll do perfectly well without the pills

 

  Can’t you feel…

  How much your absence

  causes me soooo much pain so real?

 

  Please, tell the angels up there

  I badly need you too, here

 

  If you can’t afford a return flight from there

  Encourage your lender,

  I promise a double check when you arrive

  I don’t want to be hooked to the cliché---

  ‘I can’t live without you’

  But without you,

  every fiber of my living being can’t survive

 

  I pray as the night sleeps in me

  I’ll be awake to the charm morning

  With your hands locked in mine again

  Aw! That would be the sweetest farewell

  to my mourning

 

  And we will return to where we used to be.

  I Choose You

  ******

  If I had to choose

  Between Love and Lust

  I will go for you

  In you my being won’t rust

  If I had to choose

  Between a Hug and a Kiss

  I will go for reaching out f
or your tears

  My heart aches

  When I see you captured by fear

  Your joyful heart’s songs,

  I will miss

  If I had to choose

  Between Holiday and Work

  I will go for your sweet arrest

  Where my heart will find good rest

  So we could tell our love story every day

  To the humming bird

  To do the open gossip broadcast

  for us into the airs

  Where shyness

  Will be no more,

  From sunset to sunrise

  I won’t be surprised

  Your love will be that taste on my heart

  Today, tomorrow and forever.

  Hold me

  *****

  Something great happened

  on this beautiful day:

  I’m blessed with hands

  To touch,

  feel reality and give much.

  All I wanted to do.

  Serve.

  Someday when my feet are too weak

  To carry me along

  Don't leave me in the middle

  Please, don’t let me go

  [Remember my heart labours as yours]

  Hold me

  With your gentle hands

  Whisper it to the air

  Tell the ocean to meet the sky

  To give me a steady rise.

  Look not at my face

  Before you wonder what you’ll gain

  To wipe away my eyes’ pains

  Your touch can’t be replaced.

  Feel free

  Draw closer

  Hold me

  A bit tighter

  Like forever is now.

  Let your warmth

  Be the muse to inspire

  my fond memories.

  Hold me

  And let me fall asleep

  again like a baby;

  like the days

  when I use to weep

  without feeling the pains.

  Let Me Lay My Gentle Hands On You

  *****

  I know just how it feels

  When you get that heartache,

  To face reality;

  Mood so blue and bitter.

  Pain won’t last forever.

  It will soon be better.

  When it all gets too tough

  To bid farewell rough thoughts,

  Just relax and breathe slooooow.

  Close your eyes, feel me close.

  I’ll wrap my Earth’s wings ‘bout you,

  To keep you always warm.

  I want to be the one

  You accept in your heart,

  Even though you feel pain!

  Tattoo now on my heart,

  Deep passion not to fade.

  I know your emotions

  As fervent as they are,

  Would surely break me down

  If I basked in your shade.

  That’s not my illusion.

  I am now a part of

  Your perfect impression!

  Place your fingers near mine.

  Fill those empty spaces.

  Merge unbreakable bond.

  Let me now lay on you,

  My willing, gentle hands,
