Twilight


A tender embrace, tender gazes,her past-stark;
His voice sweeter than that of a lark;
whispering sweet nothings in the dark

the only beholders,
the moon, the stars , and their intertwined hearts...

-

All because...

Never thought I'd ever like when it rained
But trust me when I say that now for every pitter-patter you'll see my smile.

Never thought among millions of broken notes,
and a few of my own,
I'd find the most beautiful symphony.

Never thought I'd feel the warmth of the warmest bonfire under the northern lights,
But here I am basking in it.

Never thought I'd find two galaxies hooded
under two perfectly carved lintels.
But here I am having been lost forever in them everyday.

Never thought I'd get to hear the sound of something far more peaceful than birds at dawn,
But here I am drowning in it as eons pass away..

Never thought I'd ever learn to tend my caged heart,
But here I am , falling, hopelessly, everyday.

Trust me,
I am no poet,
I could never be one.

But now,
I think I could try....

All because,
You exist.

All she could do was smile
For now her voice was gone
with the broken petals of a heart that had once bloomed..
Even they were withering apart.

Tears didn't fall,
She already had spent them all

Her kind happy eyes perfectly masking,
as she falls apart...

She couldn't tell them
Didn't want to hear their 'Intold you so's
For she had made a deal..
with a heartbreaker.

-

'I'm not perfect...'he said with a sigh
She looks at him with a bemused smile...

That's all she could do really....
For he had stolen her heart.

-

She

There they go cascading down her subtle skin
Haunting whispers that crumble her away from within
She stays silent sniffling in the dark
A contrast to the feigned bright smile she wore,stark.

Everyday they go cascading down her subtle skin
Her little failures crumbling down her soul from within
And never did she utter a word..
Cause for her quivering heart, showing weakness was a sin.

She lies in the dark
Her sniffles like a whisper
Her eyes lost their spark
The only console, the silken sheets and pillows.. catching her tears in the dark
As her heart slowly rips apart....

-

Hopelessly falling in love with your flaws and your scars, even though you are trapped behind books and the Onyx glass....

-

Take me back to the days when the rains were meant for paper boats, and not for shedding tears;
Take me back to the days when sunny days were meant for the park, and not for sunscreening fears;
Take me back to the days when smiling faces were true, and not for hiding tears;
Take me back to when hollering with joy spread smiles and not for the bemused, and distraught face of a passerby near;
Take me back to the world full of joy and a world without a fear.

-

Staring at your ocean eyes,
As we float within a paradise,
It's lovely seeing you smiling bright
At me...

We talk to each other for hours;
Through the midnights, on a rainbow
Evening showers.
Who would have thought skipping stones in the summer could be a fantasy?

But as we lay under meteor showers,
Hand in hand, saying nothing for hours;
I just hope it could be like this for an eternity.

Coz when I wake up,
The next morning
You ain't there to smile at me in my bed hair.
And then suddenly it all hits me
That you weren't there..

Coz I'm just another teen girly
Living among fictional men;

And when it's raining or its out cold
I was fantasising about you in my head.

Coz I'm just another delusional girly
You keep running through my head
And when it's raining or its out cold,
I'd rather not wake up instead...

-

I'm a hopeless romantic,
In a fictional world,
Amongst fictional men....

-

Could you smile at me once again?
That sweet smile of yours.

The smile for which the world around me,
Has always seemed to pause.
And it's warmth forever holds me tight,
Turning my darkest days , bright.

For your smiling eyes forever hold me warm,
And pull away each string of fright.

I wish we could smile at each other again,
At every trivial step, at every fall, at every rise, at every scar;

Till death do us apar...
