I Love You

I’m not afraid to tell the world

That I am in love with you.

There’s no running away,

No stopping it,

This feeling that you arouse in me.

The world is not such a bad place after all,

Now that I am in your arms.

Nothing’s gonna make me feel otherwise

No fear, no shame, no games,

All that is there

Is that I love you.

I cannot put this best in words,

But the feeling’s growing upon me

Now that I am in your arms,

The very air I breathe

Is filled with our love.

Let our love be criticized,

Let it be gossiped or penalized,

But there’s no limits of how I feel about you

And there’s nothing to make me worry,

Now that I’m in your arms.

Hold me tight

And hold me well,

Lest I slip

From your arms;

But then again,

What more should bind us

Than the beautiful love we share. 

As we grow older in love

As we grow older in love,
I realise how much you love me,
and then I realise how much I love you too. [As we grow older in love]

Sometimes I feel scared,
but whenever I do, I see your face in my heart....
[As we grow older in love].

Sometimes I feel like backing out,
but whenever I do, I can hear your words of love in my ears...
[As we grow older in love].

I know you shall never leave me,
and trust me, never will I
[As we grow older in love].

I prefer to walk alone,
but when you're with me, I feel as comfortable as I could with me
[As we grow older in love].

I prefer dark chocolate and strong coffee,
but when you're drinking tea I like it as amicably
[As we grow older in love].

I promise you my self,
I promise never to let you down.
Thank you for being in my life
[As we grow older in love].

Don't love me so

The moonlight shone on the glasspanes
Like your love shining in my eyes.
The wind caressed the shadows
Like your breath upon my neck.
The little kitten purred incessantly
Like your whispers in my ears.

Nature seems to plotting with you against me.
Don't love me so!

This night I want to be in your arms

This night I want to be in your arms,
Oh dear, don't say no.
This night, let my head find a rest
On your warm, heaving chest.

I would die in your arms, O love,
But for the songs I still hope to sing with you;
I would walk to the last road on Earth holding your hands,
But for the paths I could still traverse with you.

There's nothing so assuring
As the grip of your palm,
And nothing more endearing
Than a warm squeeze of your fingers.

Let me sleep in the hug of your arms,
Let me dream once more of your kiss,
Let me find my rebirth;
Let me find my home.

Wake Up.
Do not snooze the alarms.
It's alarming.

Wake Up.
The call is Intense.
You cannot ignore it anymore.
No. You should not.


Wake Up.
The bells are tolling.
You will be next
To be eaten by the demon of laze.

Wake Up.
Before it is too late.

Wake Up.

Poems on a sleepless night

I.

The world is a big mistake.

God, you should not have trusted men so much.

Men, yes, men.

Because you made them first.

In your likeness, they say.

Are you serious, Lord?

Men are like you?

Then what are women like?

Your ribs?

Come on God, be serious.

What religion teaches us much such a joke.

II.

Every bit of the world’s oceans takes its place in me,

When my love for you starts flowing.

All their depths come together

As my love for you takes shape,

And rises into an eternal,

Immeasurable vessel

Where I store your being, your soul and your love.

My love,

How can I ever explain how much

and why I love you?

Like the earth that is cooled with a pour from the clouds,

My heart finds solace in you.

Like the tree that rejoices in the rains,

My body becomes alive with your touch.

Like alcohol that soothes the nerves,

Your words calm my troubled mind.

What else can I want from you, my love?

Hold my hands for ever,

And let my being find shelter in you.

Love me as I love you, my love.

Let me make you the happiest man alive.

III.

Did I say why I love you?

I think I know why.

Because I find my being in your eyes.

My heart in your throbs.

My thoughts in your mind.

My life in your breaths.

Should I say that again?

IV.

Every night I dream of the snake

That hisses but never bite.

One night, I woke from that nightmare,

Only to find that snake on the bed next to me.

When did you transmogrify, my dear?

V.

They say,

“A lot of water has flown under the bridge since we last met.”

I think,

“Why, because the bridge was stationary.”

What is better?

To be the bridge

Or the river?

I prefer the river,

But then,

Who wants to know my choices?

Every human must go on living

as decreed by his social circumstances.

If I say the society kills your life,

Dogs of the society bare their fangs at me.

I live like the bridge,

wanting to be the river,

and all the water keeps on flowing under the bridge.
