Spinning and Spinning ,Round and round,
On the roof ,On the ground
On my feet ,On my toes,
Laughing and crying my heartfelt woes
The wide smile ,the care-free laughter
Very much like the Life of After
Dancing as i sing,Running as i hum
On my tunes ,Under the moon
Which glows with a beautiful sense of woon
Waiting for you from the noon
Promising ill be meeting ;very soon
To feel your presence beneath the sky
i have my secrets ill tell you why
I chase your light so you wont hide
I wish the clouds wont come any near
Hiding you away from my eyes
I wish only to see your sight
Basking myself in the moon light
When two spheres met to gaze
Racing my heart, burning  ablaze
Enlightening the weak soul of me
Flaming the sparks,the wonder ,the glee,
Sparkling and brightening the eyes of me
Dialating the pupils inside of them
The pounding heart beating aloud
Right inside the chest of me
I hear the sound ,i hear the beat
My pulse rising at the sight of you
You might be not as bright as sun
But you are the one which made spun
With love, with emotions ,with which we hung
Every night in the sky,
Before the dusk and twilight,
Gazing with you ;the starlights,
Flickering a flame in the night
Gently pulling; the ocean tides,
Moon you are the flame;the spark
Which made me burn ,which made me lark,
I dont care to be lost ,
From this world ,From this coast,
As long as i can reach the sky
Wishing to be the star just beside you
Because when the world would gaze the sky
There would be us you and i
Side by side two sparkling lights,
Shining and twinkling with all their might,
I wish the stars, i bless the moon,
I promise ill come to you very soon.

Running on the green grass,
As my feet catch those dews
Sinking my feet in ;drowning without a clue
Tiny droplets on my toes
Drinking in my daily dose
I wish to sit by the pane
Just to watch the pouring rain
I see those drips on the buds
While me coughing on my cuds
I wish to see the rain and say
Drip me drain me
clench me drench me
From the head to the toe
Please me rain; and i would bow
One by one those water-drops
Ticking like my morning clock
Breaking the silence as they fall
Sometimes they become those frozen  flakes
Falling in emptiness ;filling the space
Something my eyes never have seen
Trapped in this glass how long have i been
Ages ,decades,No eras and centuries
But when is the time i pass away
The light is out, the curtains are drawn
But i still hear the sound of rain
Easing this empty soul's pain
Staring the ceiling and the window pane
Wishing and praying to see those rains
Which poured on me like a gentle hug
Little by little ,drop by drop
I feel you still ;wetting my clothes
On the summers night in burning haze
When you fell on me rain
I forgot the fire,the burn,the pain
Washing my every wound and stain
I need no umbrella nor any parosal
Fading in somber ;ever so dim ever so dull
Blurring the halos and  blinding by lights
Losing the reality from every height
Me on the toes singing my ballads
Dancing like a ballerina or a silly mallard
Its ever so calm hearing the rain
Forgetting the pains
Which died in vain
So when it does rain again
i shall too call you again
Us Sitting by the window pane
Hearing the night,the sound of rain
The pitter-patter ,the drip,drip-drop
Gazing each other till our tears drop
From our eyes and down the blossoms
Its gentle and warm just like the rain
Is it joy because i feel no pain
So let us become the lilies
Those which cried for rain
Or the rather the autumn leaves which died in pain,
which suffered in vain,
Let us not cry for bane
Until it rains, Until it rains.

Watching by the little window,
I see those kids, I those pups,
Playing ,joking, running around
Giggling ,laughing ,on a merry go round
So much!  i envy ,seeing them laugh as they play,
So much ! i hate, that i was once as happy as they,
So much ! i cry ,i cant go back to those happy days
So much!  i scream, i cant run ,i cant play,
So much !So much! Just So much!
I beg ,I shout ,I scream as I say,
Take me away !Take me away!
I miss those days ,i miss those nights,
I miss the sun with its morning light,
I miss the birds ,I miss the skies,
I miss those stars ,I miss the moon,
Humming and dancing with those lullaby tunes,
I miss so much! Just so much!
I beg ,I shout ,I scream as I say,
Take me away !Take me away!
OH! how i used to wish and pray,
I would Grow up and I would say,
The money ,The house ,The cars i want ,
Its all i want! Its all i want!
I pity those innocent prays,
I wish I would go back and say,
Do not say! Do not say!
As God hears only a Child's pray,
I beg so much !Just so much!
I beg ,I shout, I scream as I say,
Take me away !Take me away!
I still hear those laughters and those sounds
The winds whispers, the rain weeps
Remember those days! Remember those days!
I still wish, I still cry,
I still hope, I still pry,
Child O' Child where are you!
Child O' Child are you lost!
Child O' Child dont run away! dont run away!
I cry too much ,Just too much!
I beg, I shout ,I scream as I say,
Take me away !Take me away!

On Autumn leaves and au-burn haze,
Running on wild and empty fields,
Soon the spring would come and bloom,
And when the roses burn ablaze,
But Now the fire has reached my room,
Where i could stare in unending gloom,
Soon i would burn in ashes so black,
Asking the flame what do i lack,
You are the flaw says the flame,
Nor to love ,Nor to tame,
Then only death is i wish and long,
As i am not a bird with a pretty song,
Nor to cage ,Nor to claim,
Only to burn on a burning stake,
If i stay ,If i stray;
Shall i be bound ,Shall i be caged
Either way is to burn away;
To breathe, to live is a mortal's pray,
Either way im bound to break,
I won't strive ,i won't thrive,
This time i'll burn alive.

When the sun sets at night
losing its colors in the sky
All those colors wont be bright
Now a cloak of darkness has set to fold
Only to get those fancy golds
All those diamonds you had sold
The night no longer has its dew
The sky no longer shines anew
No comets and no stars
only dead heroes of wars
With those times we cant par
Now with only that dead sea of ours
The night has died
The roses have withered
And the leaves have wilt
Long ago they once said
Once you shall meet your doom
When darkness shall devour the moon
Your thrones your crowns would crumble soon
That's the end you shall meet
That's the storm you shall greet
All the darkness has consumed
All of me and All of you

Gazing at the stars at night
I see their light which shines so bright
Twinkling as they fade away
As the night runs away
Far, far ,far so high
For me to reach For me to grasp
My eyes no longer can catch their light
The night is beautiful and alive
In its darkness i shall dive
Tis' is a bliss O 'thee
Countless nights, Countless dreams
When night is young ;they would sleep
But i wish to stay i wish to weep
Telling my secrets and stories
Those which i had buried so deep
Night itself is alone and dark
Through this journey ;i must embark
I am an owl of the moon
I am a wolf of the night
I hoot and howl among the trees
As shadows sing and dance with me
The night breeze brushing my skin
Tis' Freezing me to the bone
When im lost and alone
Soon the night shall fade away
The moon no longer can keep its glow
Only to whom i would bow
Now the sun conquers the sky
But im a creature of the night
With this darkness i must die
Its my fate and destiny
When its light i cant breathe
But when the night kisses me
I shall dream i shall flee
Far from sun Far from light
As long as the night;i am alive.

I stretch beyond what eyes can see,
A boundless realm of sand and sea.
So vast, so still yet never bare,
A silence breathing everywhere.

I shimmer calm beneath the sky,
But hold a thousand storms nearby.
At times I whisper, soft and slow,
At times I rise, and roar, and throw.

I do not ask to be explored,
Nor beg the brave to seek my core.
I simply am too wide to bind,
Too deep for most to even mind.

They stand in awe along the shore,
And claim they've seen what I restore.
But all they see is surface blue,
A surface hiding what is true.

Some dip their toes, then flee the chill,
Some surf my waves, chasing the thrill.
They ride the rhythm, skim my face,
Yet never touch my shadowed place.

And then the divers come with pride,
With lungs like iron, eyes stretched wide.
They plunge with lights and fragile charts,
To chase the secrets in my heart.

They dive so deep their spirits strain,
Convinced they've touched my farthest vein.
But still I stretch, unknown, profound,
No end in sight, no solid ground.

And slowly, spent, they rise and drift,
Their courage dims, their will grows weak.
They whisper soft, “Too vast to keep,”
Then fade away, in silence deep.

Yet I remain the silent sea,
Not empty, but too deep to see.
A depth not meant for every soul,
A truth too wild to grasp in whole.

If weeds could thrive—
Grow under duress,
Withstand the stomping,
Cling to minimal breath,
Evade the storm—
Then I want to be one.

No—
I am one.

But the downfall,
It’s a weakness:
Weeds get wiped out faster.
They welcome death
By choking what breathes beside them.
And so do I.
I realize.

I thought my forte was depth—
Roots dug well.
But now it’s dried, cracked,
And starting to burn
Others with it.

I will never forget our first night together.
The way he swiftly grabbed me by my waist the moment I shut the door behind me.
He pulled me in, hypnotized by his ocean blue eyes, I simply could not resist him.
He kissed me, and with the roaring intensity of a tidal wave, I was left there striped naked and exposed; swimming in the depths of his desire & unspoken love for me.
Our souls, bound to one another.
And it was a peaceful feeling.
A feeling of familiarity.
It felt as if my soul sighed in relief, because in that moment I knew that I have returned to a lover I have spent centuries seeking after.

I felt safe in his presence. Secure.
I could be vulnerable & shamelessly feminine.
Something I always yearned for but could never fully entrust onto another.
Out of fear & disappointment that they could not adequately nurture & protect me.
But what we shared was something that was once only found within the realm of my dreams, and the dark recesses of my subconscious.
A love that I knew in my bones existed all along and was desperate to experience again.
So desperate that I foolishly tried to seek our bond through partners that could only see me from the surface.
They were afraid to dive deep enough to reach me.
I was left drowning & gasping for breath, suffocating from the lack of depth and intimacy that they failed to provide to even themselves.
I was met only by men with lustful eyes and an unquenchable thirst that led to me enduring devastating betrayals & soul-crushing heartbreaks…

But on that first night with him, I understood why their love was only skin deep.
They were all lessons I had to learn.
Lessons to teach me to love & value myself so that I could transform, like a phoenix rising from the ashes of past lovers sins.
I shed my old skin, ready to embrace the world with a newfound love for myself.
My self-worth magnetizing him to me like a moth to a flame.
A sailor following a sirens call through the oceans mist.  
Circumstances kept us apart, but divine timing brought us together once I was ready.
Ready to let go, surrender and dance in the flames of our eternal love.

clarity comes in waves, you weren't searching for,
like pieces of shipwreck, floating to the surface,
flooding the face, with forgotten memories
recounting treasures, once lost at sea.
