Who Am I To You?

Am I just a stranger?
An online lover or a nobody 
That once who passes by 
In a lifetime of your stream ?

Maybe a poet?

A woman only good in sweet words.
Easily fooled by his own feelings,
And by the world that often says
I am just another plaything?

A con artist? A pervert? A toy? Or
Perhaps, one of your movie character 
That portrays your imagination
In a stage play of fantasy and dreams?

I am not perfect.
This is reality.
I am not a role model.
I have lapses and flaws.

I am not the woman of your past.
I can't look like her  or be like that.
I am not whole, I am also broken 
And still have  issues of my own .

But the truth is, all of us
Needs to be loved and trying to love
In one way or another, our denials 
That we keep telling ourselves 
Will be defined by time and memories,
If we're truly happy of being alone.

If not, then tell me 
Who am I to you?
Please tell me what we have
Is true, before I go...

Who You Are To Me?

I find myself in thy manger
You are a modern Peabody 
Whose pen aids to dye
My board with awesome dream

You are more than a poet! 

The one out of all beautiful birds
That freely flies around the earth's ceiling 
Unlike the caged birds with less ways
Timely been abating

The twist, the challenge, the fruit outpour 
Enough pieces crushing like a constrictor 
Holding unto a great aspiration 
Flowing through grace so agleam

I am not only for prospect
This may be false in its seeming triviality 
I am not a mollycoddle 
Yet have respect for tight clause 

You become of me, an enthusiast
With keen interest not eyeing to scat
Even when all of it is token 
Bountiful harvest are from vial seeds, sown

Nevertheless, in my fuss
I will always be the real dove
And not act up for trials 
Abandoned on shelves 
The much ado about plight in diaries 
Crying for reading to be well known 

Life is short, let it be
Less to the review 
More to life shouldn't really be halve 
Totality is key to overlook every foe 

You are who you are
Keep doing what you know best
Someday, you will be the shining star
Silent helpers locate what resisters detest 

Shine on.........
