what lasted for a moment
felt like eternity in a whim
one slight brush; your gentlest touch,
and my soul melted through my skin

sudden- short-lived,
but it took me through a thousand realms
of pastel pinks and warm yellows,
silly oranges overwhelmed

I felt butterflies fluttered,
dancing deep within my core;
my spirit shivered like rhythmic
quivering of a harpsichord

frostbitten, struck, smitten;
sparkling chills rush through my spine
and before I knew, I glimpsed at you
stunning with those ocean eyes

and I knew it’s true,
you felt that too…
but only for a moment.

I think it’s funny
how simply silly
and spontaneous life can be.
Two random strangers
in one encounter
can change the course of history.
From separate worlds,
a dreary girl
and a boy filled with fantasy.
Their poles apart
but in their hearts
they found genuine harmony.
There’s not a term
that can confirm
their whimsical rivalry.
But sometimes,
pieces that look like
they don’t go together, do actually.

There’ll be times when roads seem to
lead you nowhere
And moments when you’d rather
be lost elsewhere
There’ll be sunrises you wish
would never set
And midnights that are filled
with cold regrets
There’ll be millions of reasons
to give it up
But there will always be one that
won’t let you stop
Because sometimes to move mountains you just
have to keep pushing
And if some gets too heavy, then you just
have to start climbing.

Crackling and hissing in brazen display
of fiery resistance to the darkness that surrounds it.
Refusing to yield til the last of its flames
in a daunting glamour with its scarlet blankets.
Reaching avidly, spreading warmth,
as if breaking through the dark and chilly night.
Where its embers dance in lucid arrays-
skyward, as if going home to where the stars are bright.

It must be kindness…

How the sun keeps on shining
Even to those who resent its warmth;
How wild flowers leave a gentle fragrance
To those who left them harmed;
How the rain falls ever so gently
Even to those who wish it gone;
How a tree provides shade and shelter
Even to those who did it wrong

It must be kindness…

How a child’s pure innocence
Can make a hopeless person
Want to smile again;
And how their laughter
Can make a weary spirit
Forget how bitter life has been.

Be thankful to those who stomped you down
and made you realize
how comfortable it is on the floor

Be thankful to those who broke your spirit
and showed you freedom
much truer than before

Be thankful to all the sorrow you’ve faced
that made you stronger
and much wiser than ever

Be thankful to all the tears you’ve cried
that cleansed your vision
and made your spirit gentler

Til all my bones grow weary
and my vision becomes weak;
Til I turn out all wrinkled
and gray so to speak;

When all that’s left of time
is a handful of memories;
I’ll spend it all with you
in a gentle reverie

And when all the colors fade
and death do us part
I will meet you where life ends
and forever marks its start

As playful as raindrops
in a midsummer night;
As sweet as the ocean
when it meets the endless sky.
As silly as destiny
in all its odd charades;
As precious as forever
and all its sweet parades.
As gentle as the moonbeams
caressing midnight seas;
As lovely as the stars
as they shine for you and me.
