If I were a single leaf, up high in an oak tree,
I wonder how would I perceive, the things far down below me,
From my perch up there, looking out intently far and wide,
Wondering whether I would care, for what lies at my side.
Below me I see men, briskly walking to and fro,
A continuous motion without end; a never-ending flow,
Of people always moving, zooming quickly past,
- Simply of life and living, passing by so fast.
Each one looks so insignificant, like a speck on the sand,
But am I really so ignorant, until I mistook their intent,
The rage and the push, the burning desire in their eyes
- The surge and the rush, to achieve som
A scream, a shout loud, incessant and insane,
Uncertain and in doubt, either love or pain,
Rings out and hurt, whoever happens to hear,
This cry which sought, somebody who's not here
For want to tell, alas, never to attain,
The dreams once held, shredded by unyielding rain,
Lying in the drains, no longer feeling fear,
Although it still retains, for many a year
The anguish and guilt, for what could have been done,
Could there be another quilt a perfect one?
That dwells in dreams, a tapestry perfection,
A heavenly seam, or devious deception,
'Twas in toil built, a masterpiece by one,
Unfortunately killed, never
What can I say, on this very fine day,
About this smile on your lips; the joy showing so crisp,
Bringing love and joy, to every girl and boy,
This smile so easy to give, bringing another smile to receive.
Moving slowly both of us came to light,
Both putting on faces, trying to hide,
Not knowing, yet seeking 'twas the both of us,
Each learning to trust someone in this forsaken universe.
Growing up slowly, learning at our own pace,
The time had come for each to go our separate ways,
But when we parted, the other felt a change,
Knowing deep inside that we would meet again.
And the sun rises again, it's another day of work,
A day to plough and plant the seeds for tomorrow,
A day to dream and to forget all one's sorrow,
Thus the wheels turn daily, not missing a beat;
Until one day we realize something's wrong, something's amiss
And som
Dimly lit alleys, clouds unseen in the sky,
Nothing on the telly, so I looked out at the diamonds up high,
Glittering and sparkling, giving out light,
That moment so enchanting that very special night/
Gathering my fishing net, I went out to the sea,
On a boat alone I sat, just wanting to be free,
I fished and fishes, catching many things in my net,
Only to release them, on that night I'll never forget.
Suddenly a star fell from above, a shooting star indeed!
Brightly flying like a dove, destined that we would meet,
This start so innocent, charming and true,
Like a beautifully wrapped present, arriving before it was due.

I have felt feelings such
Feelings I've never touched before
Happiness and sadness in one grasp
Fills my heart to my very core
I have felt the inexplicableness
Of loving one whom you care so much
Unbridled joy and time-tinged sadness
Hand-in-hand with my heart
I have often stumbled lost
Grasping to find the correct way
But now I know it's not about the path
But how you journey each day
For each step you take
Brings you somewhere
You've never yet to partake
But it's always been there
And the wonder of wisdom
Loving and growing up wise
One step closer to the kingdom
Where lies eternal paradise
Poetry is beautiful
For no matters its length
It is true
As it contains the strength
Of what is really you
It is all your emotions
Penned forever more
It is beloved devotion
To bring what's in store
To fluid rhapsody motion
Poetry lets me see myself
And lets you see me too
Who I am and what I am really
I share my life with you
Now do you see me inside you?
