Of Dusk and Flavors

 

Denials

 Oh! But I swear

I tried not to smile 

When I saw your face

Again for the first time.

Oh! But I swear 

It's that little butterfly 

Playing inside my heart

That made me do it.

Oh! But I swear 

I no longer had feelings 

It's just the beating 

Of my heart you're hearing.

Remembers

 But I remember it all

So well like

The rivers remember all the rocks

That seeped through as it flows.

I remember it all

So well like

The waves remember the shores

That touched its edges as it crashed.

And I remember it all

So well like 

The rains that never touched the ground,

As it evaporates while hanging but never falling at all.

Murmuration

 You are soaring high

But never against the tide,

Like a flight-full bird 

Who believed he has the freedom.

But did it ever cross your mind

That you are just a follower,

Of whatever life has to offer.

And just as you thought 

You're in heaven...

Alas! It's murmuration.

After Forever

 But after forever 

Could we meet again 

By chance?

In a crowded streets 

Or in a cafe?

Would it matter if 

You don't even recognize 

My face.

I know my heart 

Will skip again 

With just a glance of yours.

After forever 

While our hearts are changing 

Healing yet calloused,

Can we meet again 

By the second chance?

In a couple of years or ten

Does it matter?

My heart will skip again

By just a glimpse in your eyes.

After forever 

With our lives older

Maybe wiser and colder,

I hope we meet again 

By another chance.

I kept a butterfly 

Just in case

To make your heart flutter 

By just a single smile.

The Gold and the Water

 The gold may glitter,

The gold may have it's price.

But the water has its value

It's worth brings forth life.

So let me remind you that...

You are like the water...

Soft but not fragile.

You can endure whatever shape and temperature life has to offer.

And most importantly...

You are not what you "have"...

You are what you're "made of".

Your wealth does not define your worth.

For Art is a piece of mind.

 

 But it always goes back...

Goes back to that same line,

About the girl you say I shouldn't worry about.

And with all my thoughts overflowing,

I pour my heart in a cup

To make it empty.

So I could unlove you.

Magic

 Oh but you used to believe in magic,

The flying lights, the colours and bubbles,

Until reality has bitten you.

Marks of it's teeth are still in your flesh,

As the poison travels toward your heart,

Darkening your soul,

Dimming all the lights until they're no longer shining,

And the antidote you're needing 

Was just a hoax,

Leaving your faith...

Dead.

Like a love lost,

You continue to exist but no longer living.

And isn't you,

An epitome of a vampire

Who lost his life

But continues to live forever.

And isn't  magic after all,

To still live when you're already dead.
