Literally Inclined

I dance around you like a butterfly in a summer breeze Catching your attention with a simple smile You follow me instinctively, like a swarm of bees If you land on me, I’ll be your lily of the nile I wrap myself around you like a summer rain shower With myriads of drops dripping down your nose But you need to remember that I will always be your sunflower That represents how much our love for each other grows A single red rose could not separate us even when the winds try to tear us apart Not even her thorns could hurt us When we stay together, heart to heart I long to be your orchid,  clinging on to you, rain or shine If you could be my tree and you don't forfeit You’ll always be mine.

Oblivion You hear the clock ticking behind you The moon is shining through the open window It is engulfing the room in a deep shade of blue Over your shoulder, your lonely shadow You hold a picture in your hand On it, there is everything you have ever wished for Everything you have ever hoped for Everything your soul demands A tear is running down your cheek You can feel its coldness A salty taste to your lips Everything seems to be so bleak The icy wind takes your breath away Starlight is twinkling as much as the teardrops That run from your cheek onto the tray On which you have left the letter Your heart stops For a moment You close your eyes Just to feel yourself Inside, your heart cries You need to heal yourself More than you ever did before
