Oh Bella, sweet Hermosa, my shining ray

There have always been a thousand things to say
...

While I look through the glass
From inside my cell of a train so fast
I see the trees and fields passing by
And some innocent kids waving me bye
...

Day or night, dawn or twilight, my eyes always keep you in sight
In all the faces that I behold every day, yours is the one that tends to stay
As if my mind has been fixated, and my soul has been sweetly sedated
This is a feeling I deeply enjoy, truth is I want no other way
...

So here I am, back on my couch
Thinking of you all night out
Struggling for words to write a poem
Explain without you how lonely I am
...

These days I had been busy
Thinking of you the entire time
Sleepless nights and dreaming days
Affixed gaze towards the oblivion
...

Words sometimes surprise me
With their inconspicuous nature
Sometimes they are amply available
And sometimes escape capture.
