Second
Death is only
A minute not even worth sixty seconds
Yet a well-spent second lasts forever
New vistas win over old wounds
A whiff of fresh air opens
A clasped heart and makes
The heart beat under
A free sky full of dreams
The joy forms a bond with
The future
Unleashing from
All that is not here anymore
Bringing the moment right here
The second is well spent
It바카라s Him
A walk in the snow
Sunlight, hand in hand
In the mirror
And in the glean of my untucked hair
In the dream
And in the sky with a sparrow-pair
It바카라s him
In the sigh within
And the breath swinging out
The scented dew drops
And the gush of rain shower
Also, in the naughty cloud hiding behind
The sun-flower
It바카라s him. It바카라s him. It바카라s him.
The Tree
The tree with lemons dried out? I deny
The tree is here
Leafless, branchless, stemless, fruitless
But with a ton of root, the tree is here
It바카라s grown underneath the land
Roots are never visible
So, the tree is here
The night바카라s sky is its shade
Can you see? I can
The tree in my father바카라s backyard
Is still here
It has blossomed beneath the land
My heart knows it바카라s
Somewhere here.
I Beg
I beg one more sunrise,
A couple of rainy days in new pink boots,
A last kiss to dearest roots,
The complete meeting of soul,
On a bed sheet scented with,
Rose petals in the hereditary copper bowl.
Just once, loosen the sky,
Tucked beneath the moon.
I Promise, I will then,
Slip into the shroud,
On a quiet afternoon.
It바카라s About Love
Stealthily behind the window pane
A shadow moved
By the time I got up to grab
There was nothing
It바카라s like someone
Is knocking at the door
With their sweet, quiet fingers
Invisible
It바카라s not about body or mind
Or things beyond
It바카라s not even about
What바카라s going on
It바카라s about nothing
But then it바카라s about everything
It바카라s about love!
