To cross or not to cross
was all that filled my thought
when I glimpsed her face across the street,
her gaze as though her soul was lost,
...
I love him that never loved me
'til love turned to drifting wind in my dream.
I weep for him that never wept for me
'til tears became cold snows in my dream.
...
Clouds catching shadows on the ground,
while the winds are careful not to make a sound.
Dancing waters in the night...
Oh, how that splendor filled my sight!
...
Empty, dull, lifeless.
I heard my heartbeat through your footsteps
thumping loudly into life
as you get closer and closer.
...
I cant read faces but i can read yours;
I know it when youre sad or happy,
not through your smile but through your eyes;
and the lines of your forehead,
...
Their painted cheeks shone like dazzling suns...
their faces flushed and red.
Lustrous eyes flashing seductive glances,
one had seen herself in bed.
...
I painted all my life...
just to be praised by the world.
Till you came - like the heat of the flame,
you stayed with me to hold.
...
What a foolish life I've lived!
I loved and failed...
and loved again and failed;
I tried to unlove but failed.
...
(First poem after the introductory poem of DEAD PETALS)
Cold waters rushed down through her;
Hurting…stabbing…filling her in.
