Goodbyes


As I stand at the ruins of what we called a thing
I look back and I can't help but
compare you to you
How you make me feel now
and how you made me feel then
when our relationship moved from I can't get enough of you
to weeks passing by without a call
I know the flame is dead
and there's no use questioning
who poured ice water over it

The last time I called you
we talked casually like we usually do
but I was saying goodbye
I knew it was the last time we talk
no one said it but it was so loud
I hid the bit of sorrow the bit of longing
that was seeping through my eyes and my mouth
that was my way of saying goodbye
you had something to do as you always say
you said you'll call me later
When you did not mean it
I said goodbye
and I meant a real goodbye

I'm calmer now
happier and much lighter
I'm not sure if I ever was happy
and I mean real happy with you
I've thought about it for long
when the answer was in front of my eyes



Sunset III



your eyes were fixed on the screen
scrawling through the varied scenes
you missed looking at the sunset
the most beautiful sunset
your heart ached
that was your daily nature escape
you had a deal with the sun and the clouds
to the sea, moon and the stars
never to look away when they appear
never to miss their beauty for ordinary news and scenes
to forever be in awe
when they appear and disappear
and in exchange,you'll be the truest you
your vision clear and your logic sound
but today you broke your oath 
and missed your luck
and looked away from the most beautiful dusk
for it would have inspired a thousand words
and helped you paint with the clearest of thoughts
instead you chose
the hustle and the bustle
the noise of the social world 
and you missed the sunset
the most beautiful sunset

Sunset II



Sunset II

Why is this sunset
Beautiful, majestic and divine
yet it pains me
why as the sun sinks deeper
my heart insists to follow
why am I holding to the red of dusk
as if it's the last time it appears in the sky

Asfour: A bird's social and emotional thoughts.


They are reflections of situations whether real or imaginary. They are soft and sensitive observers. They are childish in many occasions, but most importantly, they are true.









Dare to Dream!



You know that sketch idea that you start but never finish because you're afraid you'd screw it up. Sometimes a year later you start sketching that same idea and you actually finish it! End of the story.

Cups




I tried to fill your cup
with happiness and love
I sent good vibes your way
I sat on my knees and prayed
for you to be joyous again
I fell asleep believing that my prayers will be answered

I woke up the next hour
with a pain in my chest and no happiness
I've sent you all I've got
every last bit
your sorrow became mine
and my joy was stranded somewhere between you and me
you did not accept it
you did not return it
you kept it around just incase
you took it for granted

I learned that your cup is yours and I can't fill it
and my cup is broken and only I can fix it

Rubber

We never faded
my dear
we are bright as stars
like rubber
the further we stay apart
the stronger we bounce

Hoping for More


when we first met
we were distant
but became friends over time
I was hoping for more

We grew closer as the days went by
I adored you when you're nice and sweet 
and I would ignore you when you're mean to me
you gave me looks 
of I'm hoping for more
but I'd be so mad
to even look back

Last time we met
in a crowded place
in a haze we talked
I looked into your eyes 
and saw nothing there 
you probably looked at mine
and met my empty stare
we talked a bit
laughed a bit
then parted ways
and neither of us hoped for more

Sunset



There's a gorgeous sunset
behind that tall tall building
It's there I'm sure
I see glimpses of red
here and there
the gradient of blue and purple
makes my heart dance

I'll chase it
I have to
Head west I say
There's a sunset behind that tall tall building
I bet it looks amazing from there
head west let's see
behind this tower of concrete
blue red and purple
Colors I dream of
Everyday
