Aligned

Maybe, all our stars are already aligned...

We just have to find the right angle

To finally realize it.

Circa'08

 Your face is a portrait of a thousand and grandeur. 

Your beauty too amazing to behold.

In my mind, there hangs your picture,

Like graffiti on every wall.

I stand taller than those tender sequoias.

As the lark sings her sweetest symphony.

The moment God answered my little mantras,

That you'll be mine for eternity.

But the creatures in heavens & even those beneath the oceans,

Got caught up by your magnificent beauty. 

The angels adore you and even the devils soar up to the fiery sun.

Not one could stand the moment they lay their eyes on you.

Blame me with these angst I keep. 

Whenever you pass by & they look your way.

Blame me if I've fallen so deep.

The knight, the tales, so it is to say.

Footnotes:

Written sometime around 2008. I can't remember the exact inspiration behind this piece. But I do recall I was thinking to title it - To My Knight, which I changed because I also find it too boring and too corny at that time. Then I forgot about this poetry, that I even didn't have got a title for it until I saw it again in my old notebook today. So I just called it Circa'08.

Dusk

There is something so special to me in the dusk.

The cool breeze of the twilight.

The beautiful colours of the sunset.

The serenity of just looking out through your window

And see the captivating scenery.

This is happiness.

And what makes of happiness is actually the fleeting moment you're in it.

Like every dusk of the day.

You'll have to wait for it.

And when it is done, 

You will wait for it again tomorrow.

But those perfect moments in everyday lives is what is important.

Because for that precious moment

You're smiling.

You're happy.

And with that you know

You have something to be thankful for

Before you sleep tonight.

And you have something to look forward to

For the next day.

Happiness is most often

Are the simplest things in life.

Those moments when you can talk to yourself and realize that you finally found your place.

Those moments when you finally in good terms with your life

And you're at peace with yourself.

When you know your purpose.

That is happiness.

And every dusk of the day

I found my happiness.

I know my purpose.

I am at peace.

But you were not Right...

And so I left.

Land With Me

Fly to the Sky,

Let me touch the rainbow

Just by looking through your eyes.

Then make me blind.

Fly with me,

Let me hold your hand 

And see how far we could reach,

Then fly away.

But if the pieces fall apart,

Let them land to where they are meant to be.

It is how it should be.

But if everything crashes...

Just Land with me.

Dream with me.

Through the years till forever we reach.

As the puzzles gone & lost,

Then Fall with me.

(In the afterglow).

But if the pieces fall apart,

Let them land to where they are meant to be.

It is how it should be.

But if everything crashes...

Just Land with me.

Endlessly

 Time, they say, heals all wounds.

But time, I say, wrecks all things soon.

Time could make clay into a stone.

Could time make a heart numb to the bone?

Time passed by will go 

And be gone unnoticed.

But time leaves you olden with memories. 

How long is time for someone waiting for eternity?

Will forever be in vain for thee?

Love & time, if thou wilt make war,

How will it last when it has gone so far?

And just who will gain victory? 

Just who will gain victory?

Oh! time I say is the greatest weapon.

And love I say is the greatest warrior. 

Time is forever, how could it end? 

Love is immortal, how could it die with the end?

Oh! love & time if thou wilt make war,

Just who will gain victory?

So I say...

Love and time...

Just go in peace.

Beautiful Nightmare

I WAS DROWNED BY THE CROWD AND EVERY FACE LOOKS LIKE YOU.

I WAS SCREAMING SO LOUD

AND THEY'RE SCREAMING YOUR NAME TOO.

WHEN FAIRYTALES END LIKE A TRAGIC MOVIE

IT DOESN'T SOUND GOOD, 

IT DOESN'T SOUND COOL TO ME.

WHEN HAPPINESS IS NOT ABOUT SUNSHINE

THEN I'LL DANCE IN STORM, I'LL DANCE IN STORM WITH YOU.

LET THE THUNDER BE MY MUSIC, 

AND THE LIGHTNING BE MY SPOTLIGHT.

WHEN THE STRONG WIND CARRY ME INTO A PLACE

FULL  OF MONSTERS,

ITS OK, I DON'T CARE,

YOU WILL BE MY BEAUTIFUL NIGHTMARE.

AND WHEN THE SUN RISE

I WON'T DARE OPEN му ечES.

I'LL STAY IN THE NIGHT

YOU ARE THE MOON IN MY STARRY SKY.

WHEN FAIRYTALES END LIKE A TRAGIC MOVIE

IT DOESN'T SOUND GOOD, 

IT DOESN'T SOUND COOL TO ME.

WHEN HAPPINESS IS NOT ABOUT SUNSHINE

THEN I'LL DANCE IN STORM, I'LL DANCE IN STORM WITH YOU.

LET THE THUNDER BE MY MUSIC, 

AND THE LIGHTNING BE MY SPOTLIGHT.

WHEN THE STRONG WIND CARRY ME INTO A PLACE

FULL  OF MONSTERS,

ITS OK, I DON'T CARE,

YOU WILL BE MY BEAUTIFUL NIGHTMARE.

CAUSE YOU SAID 

"I'LL HOLD YOUR HAND IN OUR BEAUTIFUL NIGHTMARE."

Footnotes:

I wrote this song Circa'09, when my life was still crazy-beautiful.

Back when my writing methods were still too historically framed and too young to be poignant.

Back when my words were still too innocent to be broken.

Back when my heart was too red to be bitter and too naive to not believe.

Back when my life was still too young to know everything that I used to think I can do just anything.

Back when youth was still my pride...

And... now with age comes wisdom, and I know there are still so much to learn.

If you would ask me what makes a good pasta...

It is always the oil. 😶

What you feel towards your Art is more important than the standard opinion of beauty of other people.
