Seeing you in the sky

The sun sets and prepares for its deep slumber...
An orange ray shots its last for the day
The marriage of light and darkness becomes evident.

Then the stars slowly appear
But as small specks of light...
I wait patiently for the usual sparkle of my favorite star.

This is the same star that captured my attention when I was with you
In my heart I named it after you
Night after night I look up to see "you" in the sky.

Even with my eyes closed, I can trace the constellations
moving around this star of mine
It shines brighter as I stare at it intently.

From afar, I tell this star all my thoughts
Keeping a journal in the sky
As it absorbs all my feelings, my hopes and my dreams.

Near but Far

The stillness of the water calms me
My nerves go jittery upon your nearness
I look at the shadows we made...
you and me...close...touching
but in reality, the closest I can get is putting my knees beside yours

In the dark, I tried to look closely at you
My face a foot away
Yours is the face of someone i looked at even in the dark...
a face that illuminated the dark of the night
It just captured everything.i traced your face down to the detail ..
but never got to touch it.
but i know how it feels.

Being with you that night completely filled me..
I never wanted the moment to end
but there are a lot of thoughts racing thru my head...
I am floating with these thoughts
Because I cannot handle what I feel for you

I've come from a life of selfish whims
And I have grown up...
You were never meant to be in my world...
You were never meant to sufferall the trauma that comes with being me.

Like a little paper boat,
I will let you float into the water
My love flowing but leading you
to a better world out there
where you can be your true self.

But as we move on,
Feel the wind as it touches your face
blowing little kisses as I would have.
Listen to its soft blows
as it whispers my thoughts of you....
