x11-I DID

(Introductory poem of my episode-DEAD PETALS)

Do you see the sunrise on that pretty child's face?
-It seems brighter having an angel's trace.
Do you see the moon sleeping on his bed?
-Embracing the darkness, that's what he said.
Do you see the shadows as they creep away?
-I do, they crept away as you stay.
Do you dream of me in your sleep, do you love me?
-(Sighs and then turning away) I did.

I Was Tired

I saw her again-
brushing her hair
that fell like shiny feathers.
Her eyes had mocked
her solemn face
as though a dagger
has flashed behind her gaze.
She brushed her hair
that fell like shiny feathers
while her eyes had mocked her face.
Her lips do nothing but conceal
the pain that flows like river.
I grew tired watching at her
loneliness that often speaks forever.
I was tired-
so i turned away from the mirror.

Kept and Sealed

My emotion - kept and sealed
for it not to spoil.
I am drowned with the truth
that Im loving you like heaven
and Im missing you like hell.
I'm trying to resist but stupefied
to rationalize these feelings I have for you.
How beautiful life would be
if I got to live it with you.
Call me stupid -
for if profanity utters, Im not credible.
And I know not how to handle
my emotion - kept and sealed
for it not to spoil.

2 Nephi 13: 24

I used to envy her.
When she walk, the butterflies
and all the eyes go with her.
Her lips have danced
the sway of her hips.
Her face marks a man's mind
as he sleeps.
And when she talk, the angels -
they get dumb and all the ears
wait for her.
When she dance, the music -
it gets heav'nly and all the men
wait for her.
But as once Isaiah saw,
now I see.
The woman I used to envy
is burning instead of beauty.

Sleeping in Greece

Every detail of you I touched;
like a Greek god you are,
flesh carved in stones,
face calm as newest moon...
hair weaved in thread immortal.

While you were sleeping, I watched;
like a Greek god you are,
perfectly still,
vigorous as Samson...
delicate as a child.

Every detail of you and such,
through my fingers I've read.
Every bit I understood;
like a Greek scroll you are...
none I could read as perfectly, as you.

An Epilogue to Faith

What am I without thee?
What will I be?
Oh just but dust;
to dust shalt I return.
May thou not falter,
may thou not fail;
Be thou my anchor...
I am but frail.
May thou not weaken
and make me free;
this prayer to strengthen
what I have for thee.
For who am I without thee...
where will I be?
Oh but a fallen man
to death I'll be;
and death be death,
as life be life.
But faith, o faith
be thou my guide

Another Epilogue to Faith

If thou can move mountains
canst thou move my heart for me?
That it may beat the way it should be.

If I with thee can walk on waters,
canst thou dry the tears for me?
That I may walk in them no more.

If I with thee can do anything,
then why canst I love him back?
That I in kindness may fill what I lack.

If thou could lead the way for me,
canst thou put me to the path
that leads me to forgiveness..

that I may in goodness forgive myself.

My Heart Writes

Unending words flow through me
like streams of water-
My heart writes not to tell
the world Im broken,
that he should shed some tears for me.
But it writes to tell
the world my failures...
and that somehow
he would learn from them.

Broken words that know forever
flow through me like streams of water-
My heart writes not to show
the world I need him,
and that he should praise me more.
But it writes to tell
the world the lessons
I wish I knew before.

I Believe it Now

I never believed in magic...
until u came into my life;
then all have been magical in my eyes.

I never believed that dreams come true;
till u made them real for me..
then all I see with you is just reality.

I never believed that love could move mountains...
till u moved one for me;
and then i knew that love could set me free.

And i never believed that one could die of a broken heart.
I believe it now- when you left me...
when you left me helplessly.

Once INTERLOCKED

Fingers clasped together;
hearts intertwined.
Bodies next to each other,
our lips unite...
your stares ignite
my mind's silent prayer.

Dreams of forever;
past left behind.
Thinking now or never,
our tongues combine
your love divine...
melting my heart over.

Nothing between us,
none other else.
My heart knows you only,
waiting for the bells
to ring and bind our souls as one;
yet your heart only tells
