this and that, these and those
Strings in the Water
I’ll look after you
I’ll chase the blues
away
Hold your hand amidst
the storm
Stay with you in the
darkest hours
I’ll fix you when
you’re broken
Sew the wounds when
you’re scathed
Kiss the pain away
When it’s too
unbearable to go on
Will look for you
when you are lost
Will pull you up when
you are down
Will run for you when
you are beaten
Will cry with you
when the fire gets through
A string of words, so
fancy to the ears
A list of promises,
I’d hold dear
Found my palms stark
with blisters
As these words slid
past
I was left in turmoil
The rain washed these
promises away
And when I cleared my
eyes
You’re already miles
away from me
___________________________________________________________
Gathering the Light
Your scent linger on
my fingers
And a smile forms on
my lips
I write your name in
mid-air
And my eyes see hope
Your entered when
everybody
Seems to be leaving
You stayed, when I
found
myself abhorred
You hold on to what
was left of me
Hoping that somehow
I’ll find my way back
Facing you, I’m lost
in thought
A happy face could be
easy to fake
Yet you make my heart
smile for
Reasons unknown to me
Never thought
somebody
like you would come
I’m still in
perplexity for
what you saw in me
You’re too good for a
broken diamond
A diamond on a heap
of pyre,
So black it’s like
filth
Feels blessed to
still you walk with me
As I ask you to wait,
I could feel you pain
as well
Need to fix myself
and erase the pain away
Gathering the light
to cleanse from filth
If you would wait,
for me to be better
If you would wait,
for me to deserve you

A Rosier Sunshine
I rejoice in the
thought of having you
Butterflies flutter
whenever you’re around
Days go empty without
you by my side
And somehow I pray
that time would stand still
In you eyes I see the
fulfillment of my prayers
In your arms I feel
my longed sought-for refuge
The warmth of your
breath obliterates the scars
As I lay on your
shoulders the past is light years away
I lace my fingers
with yours,
and feel a sweeping
surge of bliss
With you I found a
ray of sunlight
With you the fiery
storm stops
You chase the shadows
away
And bids the rain
goodbye
You sought to hold my
hand
To heal the wounds
and blisters
Each day with you, my
being takes flight
Day by day, a myriad
of sunrays fill my soul
Wishing that the stars
would never cease to shine
Finding myself in
you, I’m no longer in solitude
Each morning is
rosier, each smile brighter
Every waking hour is
a chance to renew myself
For helping me find
the way I’m thankful
For choosing to stay
I feel blessed.
