Hidden constellations

In the galaxy full
Of infinite stars,
I stole a few
And hid them
In my finite world
To make my own constellations,
So that I could create beauty
In darkness
That once scared me.
Now every night, when
I close my eyes,
I get lost
In my creation,
And I hope one day
I could be a star
In someone else’s constellation
After I leave my finite world
To join the galaxy of infinite stars.

Waiting for rain

I sat on the edge of the cliff
Staring at the dark clouds
Scattered in the sky
The ocean waves danced with the wind
While the clouds roared 
Ready to join the ocean
Suddenly the clouds went quiet
The ocean and wind stopped
Not a single drop fell from the sky
But still
I sat there waiting
Knowing it will rain

Black roses White roses

I carried the unsaid words
In the graveyard of sin
The land covered with snow
crunched with every step I took
Black and white roses rested on some tombs
While some were left abandoned

I reached an empty grave
And buried the words
With deep secrets
I engraved a name on the tomb
And placed my roses

I heard someone leave the graveyard
On the tomb behind me
I walked over and saw
Black roses resting near it

Both the tombs had the same name engraved
Both of them said 
The truth
