The Day She Said Yes

Today's dawn started so bright
the sun arose and shined with light
a field of roses filled with your fragrance,
and birds whistled along with joyance,

Heaven has opened its doors above,
It showered me with blessing and love,
And resembled both of them into you,
The one who changed my life into a better view,

Flowers bloomed oh to your gorgeous smile,
While love and peace filled the wild,
Warmth in the air I could feel,
My desire for you was one I couldn't seal,

Clueless I was, about love,
Until I met you- so white and pure like a dove,
You are the angel that enlightened my life,
On the day you agreed to be my wife,

For years in a barren desert long miles i drove,
to find my final destination at your grove,
And when love sparkled within my heart,
I became the master of poetry art,

I will sing my love song to the crowd,
And love you forever - this I vowed,
My happiness can't be described with words,
You are the only one I preferred,

My eagerness is beyond controlled,
Our story is yet still untold,
But one day I'll whisper the word of love to you,
And hear you say "I love you too"

Broken Heart

A broken heart is like a vase, shattered into pieces 
and these pieces are scattered everywhere 
it's supposed to be container but now it's just pieces 
can't contain flowers, water or even air

The Broken Silence

The Broken Silence


In the middle of night where stars I see
Sprinkled over the mountains , 
And a moon reflected on the sea,
Within this beauty of silence , 
And the breeze of a cold wind
I stood on this excluded island
And came across a dead end,
With a high glassy wall ,

I tried to climb but I had a tremendous fall
And as I struggled over and over to go higher,
I became worn-out and completely tired, 
No matter how hard I tussled ,
The result was still the same - I fell down,

So I looked around, no right nor left,

The wall is circled all around,
I had to find a way out, 
But doors were just shutting down,
While this silence is running within my vein,
For my voice will no longer be heard again,
And my freedom will never be regained,

All alone I’m wondering,
Would I ever see the light?
Will I ever stand up and fight?
Will I ever break this wall?
Will I ever stand high and tall?
Will I ever come to realize
That life needs compromise?

This beauty of silence has a dark place,
Where only pain and agony are embraced,
Where only thoughts of cuts and suicide,
Fill my entire mind,
But I don't want to die for sure
So I will break this wall as I scream and roar
I will crack it up through its biggest gate,
Make my way out then face my fate
I will go - Live up to my style,
While walking around with the biggest smile,
I will fight and wrestle till I conquer all,
With love I must help and catch whoever falls,
I will call for peace and sheath my sword,
I will call for love and spread the word,
I will live my life regardless of all
As long as I’m good and pleasing my lord.
