Thou’re closed to lagoon; nay any fathom,
Mock with my vile scream and move on.
Myself is only sticking here on my own,
Don’t shed tears when this love is gone.
Trees forgo leaves for winter,
Betraying is a kind of disease for trees.
A **** and the green of summer,
Adultness of nymph for birds and bees.
Thou offence shall never fades away,
All gaffes i did except disloyalty.
O unfortunate dark moon rays,
Thou adorations shouldn’t be greedy.
Shall i build a statue of thou,
Nay god but post of evil,
As my sadness grew,
A sin of heaven will unveil.
The purity of love i defined,
And the name thou concluded,
Dare not to mock with my kind,
The Indian heart and british ruled.
share your day with me in the dark
it is here where the mind relaxes happily
you put your presentation in the toy box of your mind
i then enjoy a side of You that only your biggest fan gets to embrace
no light shields the vulnerable nature of your being
no public applauds the flawless performance with your makeup
it is just you, me, and sweet blindness in the gentle air of stillness
you are free to trust with your dilemmas and your edited anecdotes of life
you are free to fluff the pillow of uninterrupted vibrations
you are free to lose yourself in the serene gentleness of a Labor of Love earned through cuts and scars
you are free to even bring out your inner child and put your grown and adultness in park
the ink that you put in me, your diary makes me love you even more, so share your day with me in the dark....
“Coming of age” happens twice in life
It not always at the same time
The physical change nature will bring
But, the other is in your mind
Sometimes an adult can be a child
And a child can be an adult
The physical change is still the same
The mental, an unknown result
It seems you mentally “come of age”
As responsibilities grow
Being responsible for others
Suddenly your adultness shows
Although you reach the “coming of age”
You still want to stay young at heart
That’s a condition you should maintain
So keep thinking young from the start
