took my mind from the safety of my shield
showed me another side of life altogether
freed me from the transient lifestyle that I had grown accustomed to
you introduced me to love
i am forever in your debt
replaced my view of ignorance with a vision of magnificence
renewed the card of my opinion and gave my new philosophies to expound on
sheltered me from the many storms feeding my underconfidence
you introduced me to love
i am forever in your debt
opened my heart and let yourself in with a magical paintbrush
opened the doors of my brain and gave it a much needed pressure wash
opened my eyes to all the extraordinary extravaganzas that i was unfortunately missing
you introduced me to love
you continue to teach me the true meaning of charity and reciprocation
Whenever Adriana Jones went down the mall,
We fellas on the streets lasciviously ogled at her:
She was a lady in and beyond and about all,
Calm, adroit and her breed was fairly rare.
She was different from all of us, with a sophisticated pride,
That came from deep her wealthy life; and the blazers
She wore were couture. She was voluptuous from side
To side: and she had all the money to spend on extravaganzas.
And she was always sensationally attired,
And she was always kind when she spoke;
And her lips looked too smooth to be real, desired
By every man of family and every young bloke.
And she was ravishing –yup, most ravishing than a queen –
And majestically studied at a fancy finishing school:
In all, we people thought that she was a lady to preen
To make us wish we were also that beautiful and that cool.
Hence on we wished, and awaited her nuptial day;
For she was aesthetic –a perfect exhibition of God’s art.
And so Adriana Jones, one impeccable Valentine’s Day,
Went home and pierced the blade of a knife through her heart.
In the land of eternity
At Elflame,
Where the nymphs lived
Grew a giant mahogany tree
Memories rely on its every leaf
Reddish-brown trunks,
Darkens over time
Silent witness of the elapsed days
Laughter and joy
Pain and sorrow
A complete life extravaganzas
That sealed by fate
In every rotation of seasons
Remain upright stand
Full of hopes and dreams
An old mahogany tree
