Emptiness

Emptiness

Those hand-painted walls With scribbles, symbols unknown Rewinds the life tape.   It plays lovely days Filled with giggles, gibberish Just so wonderful!!   Numbered those days are, I did know very clearly But my heart said no   In their teens they are...

Your hands so fragile Yet strong when they hold me tight Yes, I can feel you.   Your smile is sweet, young So innocent, genuine, Yes, I can see that.   Your breath is so fresh, As though you are next to me, Yes, I can sense that.   Your photo, lively,...

King of Fruits

As April walks by, All I want is you. My hands wish to touch you, And my olfactory, to sniff you in.   Crisp and sour, is you as raw With  colour so grassy and rural. As you grow, you transform, To look bright and sunny.   King of Fruits, a crown, So apt for...

Your fragrance so fresh, intoxicates me, And doesn't let me be. It charges me to start afresh, Intoxicates me, your fragrance, so fresh.   As I caress you, I am just blown away, To lure me, you have your way. Through your pages, a new world you lead me to, I am...
