The Story They Chose


The star that smiles at me

Do you happen to know her?

Birds fly into the horizon

Did they carry my secret?

 

That I know you breathe the same air

Though a million miles afar

The dewdrop is back on the leaf

We shall unite beyond the grief.

 

Time and space unaware of the desire

To blend in the midnight sapphire

You hum the song echoing through valley

Let’s piece our stories, shall we?

 

A familiar fragrance tells me again

This is my heaven this is my redemption

Parched, the ocean in my eyes prays

Your being is the only truth that stays.

 

I walk towards the familiar deity

To find myself surrender to the affinity

The smile is the sky above

I reside in the limits of your love.

 

Between the Moon and Sun

You are the debt I yearn

Each moment alive with your light

I live a lifetime for that lone sight.

 

I was darkness’ beloved

My loneliness they disapproved

Faith heals those buried in blame

The sand tells me you wrote my name.

 

Inching towards the other

No promise to be together

Gods descend to bless the heart

Fulfilled is the love with unfinished start.
