While they noticed the stretch of kohl in her eyes,
I could see a pacific of emotions trapped.
While they admired her blushing cheeks,
I could read the paleness she painted red.
While they were going gaga over her smirk,
I could fathom the depth of pain that debarred a hearty gale.
While they were lured by the cascade of her hair when she unscrewed the bun,
I could feel the onus of the tantrums she wanted to turf out.
While they were hypnotized by her mesmeric curves,
I was stunned by the withstanding efficacy of such a fragile body.
While they adored her attire and scarves,
I could trace the bruises she carried with poise.
While they were hung up by the glory of her face,
I could do no help but ride out at the scars she concealed with sprightliness which was the most beautiful thing my eyes could ever have a view of and it left me dazed...
And my mouth wide opened.

Does anyone want a hug?
Like a really good cuddle.
I've just really felt so alone these days,
And I doubt I'd be okay.

I guess I just want someone to stay,
Stay even 20 seconds of a day.
Because I badly want a hug...
Does anyone want a hug?

Having the sudden urge to hug someone, but restraining yourself because you don't know hour they would react.

We used to stay up 'till 12 to communicate
Sacrifices were made to be together
There was no need to elaborate
Our common endeavour

Love was sleek
Love was tangible
It was never like hide and seek
Where we couldn't see each other anymore

My hugs satisfied you
Your touch satisfied me
I was in front of the que
Of being in the heart I wanted to be

A stray eye
Was never unintended

At 3 am,
In a small city
Where the stars barely shine
And the darkness is silent,
You can hear hidden crickets
And feel the ghosts of forgotten memories.
They call it the witching hour,
But I call it
The hour of inspiration.
Because it's at 3 am,
That I write my best poems.
But it's also the only time,
That I let the tears fall
And I allow myself to think
Of hugs from winter,
Conversations with the breeze,
And the kisses from the stars.

we both like hugs and cats
we're pretty much the same person!
she makes my mornings so much easier,
this friend of mine.

last year,
i didn't know her very well.
(i didn't know anyone very well;
a new school district, if you will.)
but she's the loud to my quiet
the pretty to my clumsy
and the fight to my meekness,
this friend of mine.

this year,
we hold hands,
and hug,
and laugh,
and i'm very glad to have her,
this friend of mine.

Words Of Love.


There you stood, in front of me,
I sat and stared, with a distant grin.
My thoughts had gone up, to a better place,
You shine such an, amazing grace.


You must have thought, I’d lost my mind,
I must have looked, a little frightening.
You must have thought, I like that guy,
When our friends introduced you to me.


But now I know, the thoughts you think,
Are everything, I’ve ever wished for
And now I know, the words you the speak,
Are the loving words, of an unbroken trust


And now I know, the thoughts you think,
Are everything, a boy could wish for
And now I know, the words you speak,
Are the Heaven sent, words of love.


And if I ever, let you down,
I hope you’ll let me, make it up to you.
And if I ever, bring you down,
Just know I never, meant to hurt you.


For you my love, are everything,
My one and only, true love lady.
You my love are my favorite dream,
The one who can truly, be satisfied with me.


And now I know, the thoughts you think,
Are everything, I’ve ever wished for
And now I know, the words you the speak,
Are the loving words, of an unbroken trust


And now I know, the thoughts you think,
Are everything, a boy could wish for
And now I know, the words you speak,
Are the Heaven sent, words of love.


So hold me tight, don’t let me go,
I want to have your love forever.
So hold me tight and truly know,
With you my life could only be better.


I offer up my heart to you,
So please step down from your pedestal
And take all the love I have to give,
For you my love are truly incredible.


For now I know, the thoughts you think,

Are the loving words, of an unbroken trust.

Come and lay down, here with me,
Let me massage away, all your troubles.
For with you I can, become free,
I can truly look forward, to tomorrow.


For if I have you by my side,
Nothing can stop, this true believer
And if I have you in my life,
I know I can be truly complete, yeah.


For now I know, the thoughts you think,
Are everything, I’ve ever wished for
And now I know, the words you the speak,
Are the loving words, of an unbroken trust.


And now I know, the thoughts you think,
Oh my gosh!  I do truly love you
And now I share my thoughts with you,
My love I feel the same way you do.


And now I know, the thoughts you think,
Are everything, a boy could wish for
And now I know, the words you speak,
Are the Heaven sent, words of love.
