I wish I'd hold your hand more.
Hug you tighter.
Kiss your lips that one last time
Told you iloveyou all the while.
Wish I'd looked you in the eye,
See you smile
Touch your face
and close my eyes.
Wish I'd be with you.
when you told me to.
Wish I'd say iloveyou too
And not just whisper hello.
Wish I'd spend one more day.
One more minute.
Everlasting time with you.
Amaranth.
Eternity.

I thought i saw your eyes in the summer skies. I thought i heard you calling my name in a song. I thought it's you touching me in the rain. I thought it's you who whispered in the wind. I thought it's your hand reaching out, touching. Crumbling, crumbling. I thought it's you who wiped my tears away. Lingers, echoes, flounders, planted, withered, flourished.

I slept soundly
I slept tight
I awoke lonely
On a rainy sunrise.
Unaware that you've left;
unaware, out of sight
boiling happiness,
simmering delight.
Then the sun told me
He had kissed you goodbye,
The wind has already whispered your name
on your one last ride.
why didn't i noticed?
when the skies cried.
when they've noticed you've left
without saying goodbye.
The grounds were wet with tears,
but it just slipped my mind
that the rain told me to
bid you my one last goodbye. 23.3.10

Why do I love thee?

I love thee because you're short and sweet.

I love thee because the end is near.

I love thee because I can't finish writing my book.

I love thee because you can be a lyric to a song.

That's why I love writing poems.

Neath the love
Neath the lies
Lays the soul
that bids goodbye.

Neath the tears
Neath the fears
the abundant laughter
waiting to explode.

Neath the clouds
Neath the skies
The sun
waiting to shine.

Neath the hate 
Neath the curse
The smile unhinge
the heart survives.

Thank you for the heartbreak.
For enriching my world
With tears and sadness.
For the pieces that I've picked and pasted.

Thank you for the heartache.
That enriches my soul.
The endless flow of clouds
On my endless rainy days.

Thank you for the weakness
Thank you for the strength
The love that tasted bitter
The love that was never there.

Thank you for the darkness.
Where I found the light
Thank you for the friendship
Thank you for the lies.


Thank you for the goodbyes
Thank you for the hellos
Thank you for showing me where my heart is
And thank you for breaking it to pieces.

I wanted to say hi.
But words fell on the sideways.
searching for that familiar tune,
Humming in my memory.

Time turned, time ticked
Filling the empty spaces.
Neath the mangled words,
my empty days.

I wanted to say hello.
And wanted to ask why.
But words fell on the sideways,
All the hurt I now hide.
