I looked love in the eye

I looked love in the eye and hoped to die

Upon words of rejection

I grew a lonesome infection

 

Each morning I awake to a lie

For I dream of you and in my arms you’d lie

Realization

It was just another dream

And my life a dream too

Couldn’t afford a scream

 

My tears

My companions

Down

They stream

 

For I gave my all-to a dream

Keeping nothing but a stifled scream

You can’t hear me

For you drifted away

Slipped away

I wish you would know

How I adored your stay

I looked love in the eye

And hoped to die

Juvenile Heaven

June 18, 2016

Hot sun burning

Dust lingers in the mid morning sun

Patiently shaping the coming of the rain

Not much pain when the news was preached

Instead, a deep empty gap

Blues lingered in the air

Life is unfair

Thought I

Is there a juvenile heaven up in the sky?

 

Lonesome breezes washed away footprints

Where we used to play

Gently, the grass sways, come let’s play

It seems to say

Like you said, when the morning greeted us with nothing but play

Play Play

 

Is there a heaven for kids, I ask the grass?

For if there is none,

Where shall he be when I too walk the broken glass?

Is there

A juvenile heaven

Queen

Bow down to the call of love

Admit your silence

Close your eyes to the reality

Give your hear half a chance

Look deep in her eyes

let your heat dance

 

You are in a trance

She is the Queen of Hearts

She just stole yours

With but a glance

 

Alone with the silvery moonlight

You see her face

She is all that matters

Now,till the borders of eternity appear

She is an Ace

 

Thoughts of her warm embrace

Close your eyes

Let your heart decide the pace

You see her face unbound by time nor space

In the faint light of your imagination

You see her face

You feel her grace

She is the Queen of hearts

She just stole yours

 

Love me tonight

Help me murder the morning,extend the night

Stay by my side,cuddle your baby

Sleep softly

Sleep by my side

Softly
