(the stars are beautiful to watch,
always flickering and flitting in
the sky’s playground. they never
stay in one place, though, and i’m
often left trying to find the one i’m
looking for, hoping that i might reach
it one day. that it would let me close.
but those are stars, aren’t they? you
never catch one until they fall.

i like to think that if i close my eyes,
i wouldn’t have to see a world in which
dog eats dog and man devours man.
that if i turn my gaze to the love between romeo and juliet,
i would quite forget they were bested by death.
but, alas, i think if i close my eyes
some invisible enemy would take a swing at me
while my back is still turned.
and i would be left to fall alone
as consequence for envisioning rose colours amongst. expanses of utter obscurity.
with the spectacles i have carefully crafted over
my saddened, tired, glassy eyes,
i imagine autumn as a warm expanse for change and
acceptance. i never did realise that the colours disguised
the sweet-scented sickness and death of all the leaves,
resigned to awaiting their death as one befalls the other.
utter naïveté. my eyes close in ignorance at the merciless
cruelty of all on earth - their sweet lies and sugary
smiles of venom each overtaking the other in thirst for
equally sweet blood. what a fool i am, i think, for assuming
falsely that the intentions of man always lead to skies of
good and all that is pure.

tears cloud her
forlorn eyes, and she
smiles to subside the
unspoken pain. she traipses
through life silently and
sweetly, dancing the dance
that morphs into
the waltz of life.

even the snowflakes
envied her warmth.
she kindled and tended the fires
that the breeze loved to
roar out, for even if she was
burned by the flames, she sought to
bring others light. just as fires burn, they
ensure all life.

i can almost touch
your smile if i stand
on my toes,
i can paint my
mind with the
hues your tousled
hair knows.
i can navigate
an ocean through
your honey-colored
eyes,
i may get lost,
but i won’t mind if
the boats capsize.
i can hear you laugh
over the most trivial
things,
i can feel your passion
grow with each light
the morning brings.
i can hear your coughs
worsen gradually overtime,
i can feel your heart
pound as stairs get
hard to climb.
i can watch your hair
discolour and grow
rough and coarse,
i know that you can’t
smile without adding
some extra force.
i can hear you telling
me that you’ll be
remembered and famed,
i know that you were
scared of being a portrait
without a frame.
i know i told you that
we were both bombs,
others getting hurt
for the fates written
on our palms.
i never thought that
a bomb can lose,
but i guess that’s why
its shell shatters too,
and mine’s already bruised.
there’s small forevers in
a forever, and a story can
end midway,
its up to us to write a sequel,
so those who couldn’t make
it get their ‘somedays.’
i can tell you that, A, that
when my bomb’s close,
i can then touch your smile,
without standing on my toes.

to say goodbye
to your stilled gaze
was like telling sweet
mary that her lamb
was no more and
her goodbyes would
be for naught. i miss
you since you left but
i hope that they would
find all the strength
to carry on when you
could not anymore.
