Sometimes I want to jump a cliff
to drown in the sea
and never rise back
but the fall scares me
seems my fall in love
were not enough
to drive my conjured fear.

Some wait for light
Some for the high tide
I wish for the dark
dark lonely lights
When I would smile
and cry at same time
because I wish to be consumed
before end of my time.
Remember my notes
Remember my time
Let me kiss you goodbye
Tonight.

Two deck of cards
She mixed them
Playing with her hair
she asked me to pick one
and if it is the lucky one
I would get a kiss
I took the decks
and held every card
I possibly can with my hands
and said I cannot let my luck stop you from kissing me.

Empty your drink,
remember the love you had,
her playful nods,
kisses on shoulder,
tantrums like a two year old,
then
smile incessantly.
Refill.
Repeat.

We are all meant for the untimely end,
an end to the chaos within us,
the light within us will shed,
and the love inside for others will burst unseen,
the rest is stillness.
stillness of heart ushering love.

Imagine a world without glasses,
with dull walls all around,
nowhere to see your face,
Nothing to brighten the light,
just dead walls,
no car windows,
no skyline view up from above,
no magical liquid contained in beer mugs,
Few people won’t be able to see around,
Few will be disillusioned,
but when someone asks me,
I say,
without glasses,
there would be no compare,
between beautiful and ugly,
between today and tommorow,
between wants and haves,
between where someone is from and where someone is going.
simple as that.
