1727

One Thousand Seven Hundred Twenty Seven,

I counted them over

 

Those are days…not just numbers

Those are moments…not just chapters

One Thousand Seven Hundred Twenty Seven,

Are just but some years and a few

 

Years that are eons but nothing the earth knew

Years as finite as the morning to night

As vivid as your vows is your swiftest goodbye

One Thousand Seven Hundred Twenty Seven, It was short but not quite

It was as boundless as time yet it ended somehow

Where the sunrises are sweet…but the sunsets sweeter

Shall I stay a little longer, I pondered and hoped

But the book, you said, must close

Now that thousand or so days are the past

Where the songs, dreams, bliss, and I are left to dance

One Thousand Seven Hundred Twenty Seven days…

Those are Me.

The only life I knew.

The days I owned with You.

Sad Romance

The day kissed its light goodbye

And so the melancholy begins

Evenings came darker with

Tragic Endings in Prologue

Ice have gone colder

Songs bring in pain

Every flicker of heat

Slowly whimpered to death

All your silhouette and matter

Eclipsed by nameless wreaths

Your once serenades of true love

Now a sonata of a Sad Romance

You were my perfection

The universe dictated

You caused my beginning

And promised me my heaven

Yet I am floating into oblivion

My gravity, come back!

And as this music fades into air

I breathe back a time

A moment when I lived in seconds

The seconds that were infinite

Those seconds I knew of bliss

The You I have before this….

Goodnight

How do you say goodnight to this night?

When the prairie glistens with moonlight tears

How do you close your weary eyes?

When a blink just spells nameless wounds

What would you tell the stars?

What would make them listen?

What would I give for an ounce of their heat?

Arms reach away, lifetimes apart….

Why here? Why there?

‘til that day unknown, cease to care

Setting…it’s slowly setting now

Slow down Mr. Moon, cast light into the sea

Goodnight tonight, let monsoon winds dry the tears

Goodnight tonight, let the eyes close halfway now

Goodnight tonight, lighthouses and northern lights

Goodnight, goodnight…tomorrow and beyond….

Little Star

Little Star

Little star, where are you tonight? 

Where are you now when the heaven’s at its brightest? 

Hiding behind Mr. Moon, could you be? 

Little star, don’t vanish from me now 

Not on this promised Sunday night. 

You always rose above sheer nights 

You, with the tiniest brilliance 

But could blind the darkness 

That envelops the space 

You are but just a single dot 

Far away in time and space 

Nameless, timeless, owning a piece of the sky 

Where are you now, glow for me tonight 

Little star, come home to your lair 

Up above the infinite blue 

Up there where I can always wish for you 

Somewhere so far so no one can hurt you… 

Little star, my star, the warmth I can never touch 

You belong way up where I can only stare 

Little star, let your radiance beam through 

Let it be this night, let you be mine tonight….

Moonlight Lullaby

I sing to the moon tonight

I sing my heart out to him

Of notes and verses I tell no one

Of secrets I shall keep to my grave

He listens to my songs, endlessly

Like age-old odes as ancient as him

He brings warmth as I look up

Drying up traces of dews along my cheeks

I will sing to him, ‘til melodies become lie

I’ll kiss all the pains to touch him, yet I can not

Soon he will be gone again, to the mountains he will hide

Back where I do not exist, and where he can hear my songs no more

But I sing to the moon tonight

And he will hum to me my lullaby

He will not let me live the day in pain

He will not leave me, not until I close my eyes and dream

He is singing to me now

‘Do not stop, please, stay,’ I whispered

Slowly I feel his warmth blanket me

Forever he will sing to me, he say….

My Beautiful

My Beautiful


He is so beautiful, Incomparably mine
He is my four seasons of joy,
So delicate as the daisies,
So free as the eagle soaring



His gray eyes, so calm like my sea
All of him are very precious,
More precious than all gems this life knew
His soul is my sky and earth,
His body is my air
His smile is my constant laughter
His silence...my peace


Pain vibrates deep inside his gentle heart.
A lock shuts in the disturbed thoughts of his mind,
A mind with as many roads as the world has.
I look at him and I see a pure truth,
Like looking at a clear night sky,
Millions of stars twinkle within him.


He is beauty as I defined it,
He is perfect, his imperfections make him so.
He is my best friend, and I love him,
I love him although, not because.

And I would give up all the things which I think are pretty
If only I can hold his beauty within me,
For he is everything in this world,
And I have found a world in him.

Your Eyes

I’m staring at your eyes

Deeply, longingly, for a hundredth time now

Into those soft gray and rock blue marvel

I found my beach, in its peaceful lair

Your eyes…that glisten against the sea of your skin

They smile as your lips faintly curve at the happy thought

Those lips that I long to part with mine

As I yearn to lay my hands on your soft graying hair

Your eyes, like a pair of prism skies

Your eyes, they’re misty yet clear

They tell of stories, of yesterdays

Of age-old tales that I endlessly seek

They whisper of a lost love

Of pain, healing and forgiveness

Your eyes spell kindness

And filled my heart with some

I long to have those eyes

Stare back at me forever

Long for the love in those

And be all mine

I’m staring at them, now

For a thousand times and a million

I close my eyes, and there they are still

In your eyes, I dream…

In your eyes, I live…
