her fingertips leave
velvet kisses
across his skin,
wiping the tears
that escape
with her palms.

nothing can compare
to such
a lover’s material.

Over time,
I’ve been building my castle of love
Just for two
Dreaming and thinking of you
Over dreams,
I have picked out a come true
Pouring the precious I hold into the walls
Though I haven't met you, yet
I was seeing you exploring the spaces where I bended
Lifted every stone; tilted my head picturing the perfect decor
Lying beside you listening to our quiet thoughts
We'd have a taste at our never ending love
Over time,
I’ve waited far too long
Enchantment of us slipping quietly out the gates
Making room for a truth stronger than the fantasy
A perfect come true
Just for one, undeterred by solitude
Over hearts, I've searched to discover the love I long for
The love that I sought was always mine
It was always here, confined
Within me, for me
Gazing into my eyes, I see the dream
The beautiful and the flawed
My love, my unconditional love
Over loved, overjoyed, over me
And though the odds seem improbable
For in romance anything is possible
Maybe with a chance too
You’ll find me
And you too might be overjoyed, over loved, over me

Inspired by Overjoyed by Stevie Wonder

“Congratulations universe, you’ve won“
You asked me what’s my status line mean
I said it’s hard to understand
As it got many interpretations.
I told you the simplest one!

This, other one, is complicated
So I didn’t bother you with it.
I am spoiled by movies and novels
I thought you’d be one of my known
Classmates, friends, colleagues, neighbors
Or co-passengers who have crossed paths.

I wished to meet you naturally somewhere
When we both aren’t looking for love
That someday I meet you like an accident
And we’d become lovers before partners.

But this Universe had a different plan
Of meeting us on a matrimony site
Marrying us traditionally as arranged by our families
And making us partners before we fall in love.
“Congratulations Universe, you’ve won!”

Tell the moon
Forget to sleep
Wrap me up
With your warm embrace
Raindrops on my window pane
I am home
Safe and sound
With tired eyes
I say "C'est l'amour"

fingers intertwined
with laughter combined
nothing keeps me safe
with you beside me underneath the sheets
Our legs intertwined
Whispering casual talks
Merging our minds
With something serene yet so vibrant
You scream in color and that is something
Wirth staying, worth living,
worth breathing.

how would've the last kiss been,
if you knew we're gonna be locked up away.

how would the next kiss be,
since you know it's a few months of craving,

i can't wait.

It’s a dance, partner
If you move, I move too
And if you stop, I’d call it a day
If you lead, I’d follow you
But if I lead, will you follow me?

It’s a life, honey
If you love, I’d love you more
And if you don’t, I’d keep it to myself
If you need space, I’d give you room
But if you ignore, shouldn’t I reciprocate?

I'll give you my heart,
fresh from my chest;
after all,
it only beats for you.

I'll give you my lungs,
traquea and all;
'cause every time I see you,
you take my breath away.

I''l give you my brain,
empty my head;
it makes me think about you,
every moment at any time.

I'll give you my eyes,
straight out of my sockets;
in the end,
I only have them for you.

I'll give you my legs,
bend them to your liking;
'cause if you tell me,
I'll go anywhere for you.
