Illusions of Love

Ever since I met him,
A world would unfold,
A world so deep it made my heart swirl.
In the shadows of his gaze, love blooms,
A passion as old as time itself.
In his gaze, my love he does consume,
In his embrace, my worries melt.
In dreams we dance, 
A timeless waltz, 
Lost in whispers where the night exalts.
His presence a melody, soft and serene,
In the realm of dreams, we find our escape.
Where reality blurs and fantasies drape,
In his arms, I soar through the starlit sky.
A dance of love as the night passes by,
As the dream fades into morning light,
I hold onto memories ever so bright.
Awakening to a reality so mundane,
In solitude, my heart echoes with pain.

Eyes are the Windows to the Soul

They say eyes are the windows to the soul, 
Hiding behind a facade taking its toll.
Saying you're fine when you're anything but, 
In your mind, chaos beginning to strut, 
Behind a smile so bright, 
Masking the hurt that runs deep inside, 
Though laughter dances on your lips so free, 
Your eyes betray the tears that silently weep.
I long to take your hand and clear the haze, 
To soothe the sorrow stretched along your face, 
But for now, I watch from afar, 
As love and pain collide in this dark space.

Autumn

My heart cannot live without you,
But my mind says something different.
Like the leaves during fall,
Each one falling as if they’re motioning “no.”
Without you, I don’t know where to go.
