When you love someone
You become see-through
Your eyes become readable
You come open and vulnerable
...

She was just standing-so still
suddenly the horizon emblazoned
screeching sounds filled the breeze
strange faces formed silhouettes around
...

Things are different now
Things are very different
Mine eyes when still, reminisce
Mine eyes when still, remember
...

As I was sitting alone the circled room
Mine eyes shifted to nothingness
Scenes paraded memory lane
Lips twitched in sheer recognition
...

There’s been this butterfly my king
Fleeting, restless, excited, longing
That misunderstanding made me sigh
You were suddenly silent and distant
...

statics everywhere
freezing cold i am
alone and ecstatic
confused and reserved
...

it's my day father
you ain't here
for 24 years now
you're missing it somehow
...

As steps on that moving stairs travel
So are my stares for you
But just like that automatic button
So are my norms too
...

When it’s nap time
For the mighty Sun
Fluffy liquid sail by
The moon pretending to hide
...

Seems things are very stiff
And continously demanding
At times very sarcastic
People raise brows, crumpled mood
...

Words were uttered, believed I
Couldn’t cry right now
Jury might ask, I’d die
I bit the lip…no tears
...

The glass on the table fogged
Clouds and dews abound
Memory journeyed and halted
I was not whole, something’s lost
...

She was never prepared for that blow
It was so sudden and yes, unexpected
It was harsh, so full its impact
I was hurt and wounded, blood-stained
...

Cold wind started to surround the lady
More solemn, more empty: more dark
The lady wondered, barely moving
For the stillness of the moment was cruel
...
