I saw a girl
With hair as black as a raven
And dark brown eyes like earth
Wearing a blue velvet dress
Draping over skin as white as snow
With cheeks that sometimes blossom
Like blood had been smeared on it
And with cherubic hands
From where purple veins peek
She paints the world red
With love incomparable
And laughter that glows
In as many colors
Like the sunset
Blending yellow, orange, red, magenta, blue
In one majestic view
But she’s not aware
She needs to know
The hue is in her
To color the skies
And paint the trees
She’s the calm after a storm
She’s the end of the rain
She’s a rainbow

How can you live like that, with a secret love blooming in your heart? Doesn’t it hurt when the branches try to escape, poking out of your ribs? Let them out. I bet they would make beautiful bouquets, and they will enchant everyone who would witness their splendor. Don’t hold them back.

We’d embark on a journey
We’d take a long bus ride
And in the midst of the sleepy afternoon
My head would take rest on your shoulder
With the security of your gentle presence
I’d fall in deep slumber and dream
In the hot summer afternoon
And with the sunlight caressing my face
You’d realize you have an angel sleeping beside you
The long boring bus ride wouldn’t bother you at all
Because the journey is the end itself
And everything else from now on would be a reward
You’d rest your head on the head resting on your shoulder
Giving you a whiff of vanilla hair
And you’d smile in calm reverie
Closing your eyes in deep slumber too

What matters are not the notes upon people’s ears
But the music my heart and soul hears
What matters are not the laps I swim
But how being underwater feels like a dream
What matters is not the love I receive
But the amount of love I live
What matters are not the tears of failure I cry
But the genuine smile after I never lose hope to try
What matters is not the chaos around me
But how despite it, deep inside I feel happy

See, if I drown I might sink
But I can swim again
If I get sad, I might cry
But I know I can smile again
If I stumble, I might get hurt
But I know I can stand up again
If I fail, I might get dejected
But I know I can try again
If I love, I might get my heart in pieces
But I as long as I know how to love myself
I can love again.
