The V Word

The days I spent in that big sunny  house, Hearing the tiptoe down the roof by that lil brown mouse Where I calmed my heart With the breeze, moonlight and you  The hushing sounds of the gushing winds Walking by the window sills  With the tender breaths on my shoulder A reassurance of your presence Holding me while you snuggle into me  I slept on the roof that day all night Do you remember? You also spent the night But now I snuggle into the pillow Curling myself as much as I can Tears sliding off my shoulders  Where the tender breaths held me  The winds of thunder scare me It’s no longer you who holds me It’s me who holds myself  A bit more tighter, closer and longer I wish that you’d remember me But do you?  

The boy passing by I saw you yesterday  Just passing by You were alone but better than ever I peeked into those dark eyes Hoping they would meet mine And remember everything we’ve had I felt a tear in the corner of mine and realized we’re all past that And then in the spilt second you were gone just like the old times I clung onto the memories you’ve left  But I so wish I could just let go Move on and be on my own But you brought me back to square one I stood there longing for u but I knew I would have to move on To break away from you and the past To be me again for what comes next!

I close my eyes, trying to sleep  As soon as I was about to doze A thought wandering about hits me I wide opened my eyes And ponder about it All what could or couldn't happen My eyes drowsy A few seconds away from being close to rest But it’s as if my unfulfilled thoughts are checking up on me again As soon as I was about to doze A thought wandering about hits me…

  Staring at the ceiling I count  To feel the time pass by Living an engrossed life Made me forget the presence of it The feel of looking at the night sky  And thinking of stars as my ancestors  Come to think of it, when did I grow so much? That I forgot these moments surround me everyday Making me feel more alive  But being too occupied in the shell of life attainment I overlooked what living a life truly is!

 Happy to be with you Could it be any better than this To have you by my side  Laughing and teasing each other With a little glitter of love and fight Trying to be careless in a world full of responsibilities  Where everyone’s trying to be snow in between the dust Being happy in the world of us  With sparkling fear of the reality  But coping up with everything with the clouds speed To be the true with each other With flavor of bitterness of the world Living in the moment  Just so remember the day in the future And swaying away the worries  Like the wind does on a swing

staying up in night i wonder what it felt to be a child again trying to gather memories  of what i did when i was a child thinking whether that mischievousness was enough  could have i laughed a little more to cry a little less today if i could have changed the past would there had been a leaf not turned? just to end up coming today  thinking of changing things all over again

 sitting by the sunset i watch the sun go down clouds crowning the sky just for the night the way my consciousness goes down thoughts crowning my mind  just for the night dawn giving rise to a new day clouds making entry for the sun just for the day making me awake to the reality focusing on the path that appears just for the day!
