Like the Sun, Like the Sky

Eyes as blue as the cloudless sky,
Hair as dark as a starless night,
Jaw as sharp as a shining blade,
And face as smooth as the wet sand on the beach
With a voice as warm as the sun
On a hot summer's day

All of these aspects of Mr-Blue-Eyed-Monster 
Are great, 
But those are nothing more than his outer image

Have you ever seen the boyish grin
That formed when he was happy?
Or the way his eyes would sparkle
When he spoke of something he loved?
How about the way he stutters when he's nervous
And blushes when he's said something dumb
Or just plain shy?

You've never cared for his insecurities
You only pointed them out.
You've never seen him tremble at the sound of thunder,
Or cry when Dobby died.
You've never seen him bite his lip 
When he's afraid he's upset you
Or how he fiddled with his hands when he asked you out

You've never heard him fumble over words
Or trip more times than you could count
Because he's simply too nervous for the first date

You've never seen how his eyes shine
Under the fireworks at midnight
On New Year's Day

You wouldn't know that he asks for permission 
Every time he wants a kiss
Or how he carries mistletoe
Every single Christmas
So that he won't need to ask for a kiss that day.

How he wears mismatched socks 
Because he always loses the other one to a pair
Or how he promises to never lose you the way he loses them
-Because he's too damn cheesy.

You've never heard him complain about 
The expectations he has to reach or
How he's worried for his marks

You've never seen how 
He messes up he's hair 
And mutters incoherently
In foreign languages,
Worried that he'll disappoint everyone 
Yet again

You've never heard how he laughs
At his own little jokes
And calls them brilliant
Even though they're lame

All you've cared about was 
Hot-Blue-Eyed-Boy
And whether he's good in bed

You haven't considered that he's keeping that
For his special someone 
Because all you see 
Is another good looking boy
So you automatically think that he must be like other boys.

Well, he's not.

You haven't considered that
There's more to him than 
His voice like the sun,
And eyes like the sky

He's not just another boy.
No two people are the same
- Or so the Blue-Eyed-Monster has taught me.

Strong For Too Long

You've been sitting in the dark
Wondering for so long.

It's been forever
Since you started feeling so alone
Drowned by the voices
And haunted by the demons

A happy facade 
Is all it took
To have others believe you were fine

You couldn't look so sad
If your job was to be so happy
To have the fans worry
Was the last thing you wanted

You were caughdtt in the nothingness
And your lyrics said it all
Your voice screamed out
Through the meanings behind the words
And through the music videos 

But the thing is
You've been fighting on for so long
All the pressure they've brought upon you
All the words of reassurance
That never did anything 
But add to it all

You've battled through depression
And your words; the lyrics
Were things you wanted said to you

All you wanted
Was to be told you worked hard
To be told you did well
You wanted others to notice

And you never really hid it.
You never saw the point
You always showed it because you believed
There was no point
In being fake happy three hundred and sixty-five days a year

You believed that people should know you
For who you were
You shouldn't be showing off a fake you
Because it got tiring

You were a role model and inspiration to many
You were a brother, a colleague, a friend and one of the best people to walk this earth.

Many will miss you
Many will remember you
But nobody will forget you
And the impact you've left
Not only on your group
But on the world

You were kind
And funny
And gentle
And weird
You were all or nothing
And that's what we loved

You were a bright soul
That changed many
Your voice was a voice others went to
When seeking reassurance, hope, happiness, cheering up and when they just needed to escape when they just felt numb
You were our go to 
When things got tough

Your voice was something special
But you were something more

You've held on for so long
You've been strong for too long
And now, today, 18th of December 2017
You've left the world

But you've changed us too
You've opened our minds
And our hearts
And hopefully the world's too.

Thank you for existing, Kim Jonghyun and may you rest in peace.


[ A poem dedicated to Kim Jonghyun, a Korean singer from the group SHINee. May he rest in peace and may his fellow members and family cope well. They are in many's prayers.]

I'M Sorry

I'm sorry I'm not perfect
That I mess up and make mistakes
I'm sorry that I don't care 
I'm sorry that you hate me
For how much I've changed
From all the pain that you have caused me
I'm sorry that I lied; I do care
And I'm sorry that I let you get to me

I'm sorry I never told you how I feel
How awkward it was alone with you
And how I could never find my voice 
I'm sorry that I'm too nice, too forgiving as you've said 
I'm sorry that you hate me for not forgiving you
After that night you made me break down
When you claimed you found my breaking point; something you didn't have

I'm sorry I gave you the power to hurt me 
Which you always did
And even when I thought you didn't, you did know
I'm sorry your feelings were the only important things at the end of the day
And that you would hurt others just to hurt me
I'm sorry that you lied and made me doubt
Everything and everyone

I'm sorry I wasn't there for you
Only because you always pushed me away
I'm sorry for disappointing you; for apologizing 
Even though you hated it

Most of all, I'm not sorry we're no longer friends
Just sorry I never said goodbye

Dance With the Devil In the Moonlight

Have you ever danced with the devil in the pale moonlight?
Have you seen the way the light shines on him?
Or the way he looks so carefree
With a smile that puts the sun to shame
How he holds out a gloved hand
And the confidence in him sparks like flames
How he is so sure of himself 
Even when the light begins to dim.
Dancing with him in the moonlight,
His eyes do not appear as they would in broad day
His eyes become lighter
And his smile brighter
And for a moment, you forget he's the devil
Because he almost seems human
And it's more magical
Than you could ever imagine

In the Rain

On a day
Like any other,
I found him
In the rain.

Someone asked
What on earth
He was doing, 
But he only smiled.

Tilting his head back
And opening his arms,
He welcomed the rain
Like nobody else.

I approached him
With hesitancy
As they told me
He’s crazy.

He lowered his head
To carefully regard me,
Stretched out a hand 
And pulled me along.

Together,
We danced in the rain.

In Darkness

When the darkness came
And the light faded

It was then when she sat
With her head in the clouds
And her heart anchoring to the ground

It was then that she felt 
More pain than ever before
And when she cried
Tears that nobody saw

It was then that she recalled
All the people that left
And the ones who hurt her
And helped her
And guided her 
And stayed

It was when the clock struck twelve
When she missed them the most
And when she was more thankful
Than ever before

It was when the darkness came
And the light faded
When she felt more than she ever felt before

To Be Heard

It's not when the world is shouting
When it's loud and you can't hear a thing
It's when the world is quiet
And all you hear is silence

It's not when the earth is trembling
And you don't know where you're going
It's when the earth is still
And you've finally found the path

It's not when you're crying
And you can't seem to stop
It's when you're laughing
And you just want to stop

It's not when you're in pain
And you wish it could go away
It's when you're calm
And you await the on coming storms

It's not when you're exhausted
And can't keep your eyes open
It's when you're wide awake
And can't seem to sleep

When your mind is busy
And your heart is aching
When your chest is paining
And your eyes are tearing
When your mouth is moving
But nothing comes out

That is when we want 
To hear and
To be heard

When Everything Is Gone

When flowers don't bloom
And skies don't cry
Will you remember
The scent of the rain

When the rivers stop flowing
And the birds stop singing
Will you remember
The sounds that they bring

When day and night
Never come again
When the sun never rises
And the sun never sets
Will you remember
The beauty it brought

When the mountains are silent
And the animals are gone
Will you remember
Their purpose on earth

When people stop speaking
And nobody cares
 Will you remember
Their stories untold

When the end is near
And everything is gone
 You remember
All that was done for you?

You

It's wrong of me to wonder
if you love me like you say

It's wrong of me to wonder
if you care as much as I

With every hug, 
With every kiss,
With every touch,
With every word,
You bring along my smile

You make me wonder if I matter,
But you tell me that I do
You make me question whether I'm worth it,
But you show me that I am

You're the reason I have grown
and the reason I have fallen
You're what makes me want to cry
But makes me smile instead

I yearn
For you.

Your voice,
Your touch, 
Your smile, 
Your entire being

You are my world
And you may not know it.
You are my world,
that I may hold in my hands. 

And I pray
that you do not slip away.

May our promise be kept.

Nothing But a Memory

All I'm left with
Are memories of you

You're like a wave of thoughts
That never seem to leave,
A smile across my face 
And the warmest of hugs

Hand in hand,
With nowhere to stand,
We hold onto each other
And one can only wonder...

There's something about you
That's hard to forget.
Maybe it's the awkward jokes
Or maybe it's the way you laugh at your own

Your voice,
Your touch,
Your hugs,
Your scent that always lingers,
Your smile,...

It's those things
One can never get enough of
And yet every moment
I'm not with you,
They're nothing but a memory
That lasts until the next time I see you
