To Him
Weeping in the dark
Eating tasteless prose
Suddenly, there was a spark
A kind of bless and a curse
Do I have to apply my skills?
So that you know who you are
I told you once, I am a simple writer
I am nothing close to a star
But, you are indeed a sky
Full of wisdom and love
A cloud that rains on humanity
An angel sent from above
It is not about how much you helped me
Material things come and go
It is about the way you looked through me
About the beauty and flaw
Travelling is poetic
But, what is travelling without a good friend?
And you have been that friend to me
A depth within depth
A theatrical performance I loved to attend
I am not going to thank you
To be formal and polite
Formality is superficial
Politeness is too kind
And I am neither formal nor professional
I am too messy, but alright
So tell me what should I say about a mind that is so vast?
A river that keeps flowing
That will never end, but last
What should I say about a heart so pure?
Applying my skills is a must
But, I ran out of descriptions and metaphors
Excuse my non-poetic lust
So, tell me what is after the “So”
Do I have to pack my words and go
But, my words are endless
I will just go with a flow
Yet, even if I keep writing and writing
You will never come to know
Because I cannot describe what cannot be described
I cannot create words even if I get bribed
You are more than a description
You are what I am still trying to understand
You are a myth, a fairytale
It lasts for centuries and does not end
I am grateful that you have changed my mind
About what I believed was true
I can’t believe I under estimated myself
But how do I know? I had no clue
And now I feel alive once again
I am grateful for bringing me back
what I wanted to let go
is it time to say thank you?
IF IT MEANS YES THEN FOR ME IT’S NO
