Plagued By Memories
In the splendorous sapphire space of my pristine heart,
shimmering in the sanctified radiance of the indigo night,
you gleamed like seraphic sequins of argentine moondust,
making me feel fascinated as I sensed your cerulean sheen.
My heart morphed into a mesmeric turquoise lake,
where the rose petals flying from my garden floated
with the reflection...

Plagued By MemoriesPlagued by the memories of insoluble illusions
that hang on the tapestry of yesterday
where mythological masks were worn
in another time, another place
and are relived in pictures
hanging on my mind's wall of sadness and loss
when dreams of moonlight madness
remind of love's longing
the remembrance of faces and places
stay in tortured realms, trapped in my soul
heartfelt reminders of crumbling...

Transparent TeardropsThese transparent teardrops gently smack onto my table,
As I am writing a letter to the first love of my fable,
Praying for him to soon forgive me as much as he is able....

Tragic and Unfairwhy did it begin in the first place?
and then why, it have to end so early?
it was meant to be another lovelorn story,
a story with arcs developing faster than fiction
everything shattered in the blink of an eye
our first conversation, it was all accidental
and so was our fate- it was tragic and unfair...

Scornful NostalgiaDew doth drop with gentle hue,
On petals tinged a bashful blue,
As bees swoon to swollen pollen;
I crave back that view to fall in;
‘Tis you, ‘tis you.
As sea kisses the night sky,
Before day doth due the two goodbye,
I lie; a rock on thine tender shore;
And beg thou to crash upon forever more.
But; by then, thou hast...

Dreams and Heartsa serene lake on a moonlight night,
as she paddles her canoe away,
far into distance where it shines bright,
in gentle breeze water lilies sway.
her hopes are lit she would meet her dreams,
that warmth and lips that such young hearts yearn,
she scours in shadows between moon beams,
a lost effort in daily sojourn.
knock on the door brings her...

A letter never sentThey call you my ex—
like you were just another chapter,
just another name to forget.
But how do I forget
the girl who made forever feel real?
You weren’t my past.
You were my present,
my always.
The one I whispered dreams to at 2 AM,
the one I laughed with
until my ribs ached and my guard fell.
They say time heals.
But time can’t...

Plagued By MemoriesI thought the layers of dust had settled
over what used to be the togetherness of 'us,'
and buried were our last tarnished traces.
But today, I found your pictures in an album
and my emotions started playing tricks on me.
Thought I heard echoes of your timbered voice
and even imagined your footsteps in the hall

Plagued by MemoriesMosaic mahogany memories
Shatter like silver glass within me
Reflecting red reveries
Of all that could be
And never was
Yet somehow cutting
Inside my mind bleeds dreams
Scents of lavender lamenting
Licorice tongue licking
Me with promises you never keep
Though skillfully you lead me on
I fantasize about these lily lies
That ride ebony eyes
On onyx moonlit nights
I remember golden hope
You slide like...

Love's last exileMy bewitched heart is bleeding
The burden of the banished
Bubbly times we buried into eachother
The butterfly of my dreams
Though bleak times never seemed so bad...

A confused love while torn apartRoses with thorns grow on my heart
As I waited for you
To tell me how you feel
Do you want me? Yes or No
Is it just a game
We talk for hours, nothing new
We laughed for hours, nothing new
We went out twice, nothing new
Do you want me? Yes or No
Is it just a game
I don't understand you anymore
All...

You Called Me FriendI watched you from quiet corners of thought,
Not to be noticed, just gently caught.
In the hush between moments, I saw you smile—
A glimpse, a grace, enough for a while.
I never belonged to the light in your eyes,
But I cherished the warmth like borrowed skies.
You lived your life, bold, unaware,
While I stood beside you in silent...

A Journey Through an Old PhotographI have this picture of you—or should I say, I own this picture of you—
that I have kept hidden in my chambers,
neither inside my diary nor within a vault,
but frozen in time within my mind.
It is both painful and lovely to watch,
my lingering feelings keeping me tied to it.
Yet, all it brings me now are...

KeyYou found the door -
The door which protected my worst nightmares
I didn't know existed,
and sheltered the basic needs my heart shunned
but never new it pined for -
Tell me you didn't
You found the key
that unlocked the spring to my eternal winter,
the warmth to an endless frigid existence,
the glow within my ceaseless, hopeless night,
the feast no...

whispers woven in sheetsWhen night arrives, it circles 'round,
The dream once lost is newly found.
I dream of her, with tangled hair,
Her skin like spring—so smooth, so fair.
Warm, slender hands run through my hair,
A fragile form that, held, might tear.
But morning comes—its blinding light,
The dream dissolves, fades out of sight.
No sounds remain, no vision clear,
Just silence loud, and nothing...
