To Shai P.

In your being, introversion gracefully dances,

With moments of extroversion taking their chances.

You embody both shadows and illuminating rays,

Harnessing strength persisting through life's maze.

Your smile imbues hope in souls like a healing potion,

While laughter spreads joy with unyielding devotion.

Such a presence is truly sublime,

Where intelligence meets beauty divine.

You leave an indelible mark upon each soul you touch,

And forever remain adored for the magic you clutch.

It captivates hearts and leaves minds in awe,

Like a symphony played by nature's own grand maestro.

Amidst vast oceans, cosmic constellations, and lunar orbs,

Fate shone brightly for me as I tread this earth with you adored,

Beneath the celestial canvas that we both behold in awe,

Sharing dreams amid twinkling stars, never was there a flaw.

Dear Somebody,

How gracefully you twirled, like a flame dancing in the wind. Your name was a foreign melody that escaped my lips in stuttering notes. But you breathed inspiration into me and rekindled my creative spark which I thought had long been snuffed out. Thank you for igniting that fire within me once more with your ethereal presence.

Depth of Love

Oh, the depth of love, 

boundless and pure, but alas! 

Even it has its bounds. 

Honoring its essence,

cherishing every moment,

but knowing when to let go.

For True Love is freedom;

To grow and flourish in joy

or depart with grace and dignity.

Maiden Fair

Oh maiden fair, whose name escaped my lips, 

not due to its intricacies but fear's grips. 

I'm grateful for your breath that sparked anew 

my creativity and passion—once thought through.

Broken Vows

 Oh, my heart is heavy with the weight of your broken vows,

What caused you to depart without a word? Pray tell me now.

Dear Missmam

Oh, how love's path twisted in front of me,

With obstacles I had never foreseen.

When our time came to an end, 

My breaking heart was hard to portend.

Yet now I find solace and peace,

A delay too long for my release.

I see that by keeping you near,

It wasn't your betrayal but mine - oh dear.

Now I am coming to see,

that you're not the one meant for me.

To love me as I truly deserve,

it seems, from your hearts' depths couldn't emerge.

:(

I have long admired you and never did I keep it a secret. However, I came to the realization that admiration and love aren't necessarily the same. Furthermore, loving someone doesn't mean sacrificing one's self-respect and happiness. Sometimes love cannot conquer it all.

Pedestal

     I have placed you on a pedestal so high that I lost sight of the reality that you were not perfect. But now, as I pick up the pieces of my shattered heart and slowly heal from the wounds you inflicted upon me, I am beginning to see things clearly and understand that my love for you wasn't healthy or sustainable. It is a painful but necessary realization to move away from loving people who don't even have the decency to treat you with kindness and respect.

        The immense force of gravity could never make me fall the way I fell for you. I was captivated by your being. Sir Isaac Newton's law of universal gravitation would question itself if it knew how you made me fall for your beauty, stunning character, and overall persona.
