Heartbeat

Typical for me,

To fall for someone like you

A musician with a guitar

As his best friend

A performer with a voice

Who leaves the crowd

Wanting for more

As I watch you

Stand up on stage,

The spotlight is on you

I know

I am mesmerized

Every note,

every tune,

every melody

makes me weak.

Your charisma feeds my soul.

Childhood Memories

When I was a child,

dolls were my playmates

They keep me company

and I serve them tea.

When I was a child,

I thought that butterflies

were fairies in disguise

During the night, they say their goodbyes

When I was a child,

everything was simple as ABC

everything can be sung with Do-Re-Mi.

When I was a child,

I loved the smell of brand new pencils

I could not stand still.

Nothing was complicated

when I was a child.

Books Can Take You Places

Your imagination flies

You turn the page

You are taken

into a different era

You dream of a love

that stands the test of time

Dragons and fairies come alive

They become your friends

You travel the world

and see amazing landmarks

It is like riding a magic carpet

It is like using the apparate spell

the words you read,

the thoughts you understand,

the pictures that your mind draws

take you to a far away land

Books leave you breathless.

Go ahead, ask for more.

Willing to Wait

You told me
You will stay
Ours will never fade away
Time will make us stronger

But you let go
of my hand
of our dreams
It breaks me little by little

Don't worry
I'm still here
waiting for you
to save me from tears
to pick up my bits and pieces
to complete me once again.

Dreaming in Reality

At one point of my existence,

I get to hold you

Even for a minute

That moment

That feeling

Unfathomable

Unexplainable

Unbelievable

I am one of the chosen few

Who fell head over heels for you

Who would have thought

Someone like you existed?

As I lay in my bed

Thinking of you

I realize

I'd rather close my eyes

knowing that I will see you

than wake up in reality

knowing I can't have you.

Leaving Too Soon

The clock moves too fast
I have little time left
Everything seems to fade away

All I have left
Bittersweet memories
I am trying to hold back
the tears,
the sadness,
the loneliness

But I know
things will be better
optimism will find me once again
things will be brighter
in the Land of the Free.
