the storms of the past have been blown away
clearer skies, clouds are no more gray
starry nights have so much to say
and rainbow has made its way through the ruins of yesterday
...

the cold air makes me cheesy, always
always makes me wish for some dreams to come true
that if i could just slow the earth down
i might reverse its turn and recollect those fleeting memories
...

just a tear
just a drop
i just need to cry my heart out
...

i was about to enter the gate
when i saw you coming
you’re with your friend..
...

i see you bloom
from a single bud, alone
to a constellation of petals
i see you
...

leafing through yellow pages
rummaging through dusty memories
a life that has never changed
a love that has never existed
...

i love you but sometimes i do not
you're so sweet, an angel and divine
but sometimes, you're significantly human and you're the world
you're a poem, a song, and a quote in my head.
...

let me remember you
recall those sweet memories
see once again the sparks in your eyes
as the stars begin to show their magic
...

amid of this joyful crowd
i looked for a soul to complete me
but i failed to see you..
...

someday, i’ll make the words dance to tell us everything that happened
every moment we’ve shared. every memory we’ve woven together
...

I love you

but do not expect that I will pepper you with sweet talk;
nor romanticize your existence as if you were my world -
...

I want to write
to write a poem
a poem that whispers
that whispers my love
...

once,
I told you I believed in fairy tales,
in Pinocchio and blue fairy
you had that quizzical look as you asked me why
...

You and I
Two irreconcilable universes
Spinning next to one another - once against each other
Amidst million other worlds
...

'When do you call love 'love'?
Is it by the grace of first sight?
Unmistakable impression that took one's heart afloat
That inspires the beginning of many poetic nights
...

and so i waited
but this time, i won’t write about love
it can’t be written.
...
