Honey
I don't want to be
Your first love
The one that leaves you tainted memories
Instead
I want to be
Your last love
The one that stays till life leaves me

Petrichor

Drops of rain kiss the mud
Just the way I'd kiss you
But now you're gone
Leaving behind a grave
And the only time I get
A whiff of you is when
You and the earth
Share the same perfume

What's the problem, my dear,
The doctor implored,
I said nothing,
But my pain spoke

In the radiation room,
My bones were perfectly fine,
Sadly, an X-ray can't catch,
A broken heart in time.

-

If you ever ask me
How much I love you
I'd spread my arms so wide

My bones crack
My veins pop
My skin rips
My heart stops

Because my love
Unlike my body
Is limitless

-

Come, let's play a game
I'll hide, you seek
That button that leaves me
Breathless, unable to speak

Need a clue? It lies in the
Alphabet, the address of heaven,
Hey, even Monica said it,
7! 7! 7!

The hardest journey,
For a writer,
Is from his mind,
To his pen.

-

I am the kind of lover
Who is always missing you
When you are away

But sometimes I miss
You even when you
Are here with me

I wonder if I am really in love
With you or who I think
You should be

-

The thoughts are always running
Around my head like a playground
But I'm scared to write them down
Because once I put my pen to paper
My thoughts will take form in words
And I cannot escape them anymore

-

I sowed the seed of sadness
In the soil of life
And my, did it grow
Did it grow
It does not wither away
Like the flowers of joy
And even if I try and slash it down
I see the rings upon rings of sad memories
