Letting me go

from the shadow of the sun
to the dark-side of the moon

i'd sing my whole world for you
and swim to the bottom of the Abyss for you
just to have you in my arms again.

i said, from the shadow of the sun
to the darkest crater on the moon

i would rip my heart out for you
just to get one more chance
to feel you in my arms again.

i've cried for you
until there were no more tears to shed

i cried for you
Till my eyes ran dry
For i had nothing more left,

just a scent
and a memory of your lips

oh how i wish
i could get another chance
in order to kiss them again,

i would gladly lay you in my arms
and never let you go

because from standing in the shadow of the sun
and hiding my emotions like the dark-side of the moon
i have nothing more to say to you

that i wished i could have said to you
back when i had the chance

and so today
i weep no more
knowing that letting me go, shattered you too

All one

And we rode
On the backs of dragons

Until the rising
Of the morning sun

And the memories of them
Withered away, with the rising sun

Never to be seen again
Until we are all one

To be right here

Cool, calm and collect

I have taken time to recollect

To look at my own life

In a new kind of way

And it has paved a path

Of enlightenment and delight

For no fear knocks at my door

Memories haunt me no more

For I have seen my wrongs

And made peace with my demons

In order for me, to be right here.

Wear that smile

With beauty as radiant as the morning sun
And a smile captivating like an evening sunset

Your eye flatters
Flatten my soul

I am putty in your hands
When loving you bring me

Overjoyed am I
For the living that you bring

Captivated a King
And turned him into a beggar

Begging for your love
For lost he felt without it

And so today I extend this hand
In apology of my wild ways

For I acted like a mad man
Only because I was mad

Madly in love I was
Driven crazy by you

For you
Are the one I dreamt of

And so I take of my crown for you
In the hopes that you may see

The sincerity of my words
For you looked not to my actions.

It is with great love
That I write these words

Not in the hopes of wining you back
But to apologize for ever hurting you

Never was it my intention
Never did I intend to make you cry

When all I wanted to do
Was be the reason that on wear that smile

Whole again

This pain that I am feeling

Is why I am not around

Its because I am healing

All the sorrow

And the heartbreaks,

All the resentments

And regrets.

Curled up into a little ball

Nestled into my own cocoon

I await my metamorphosis

With bated breath

For I know

That once all my wounds are healed

I shall be whole again

Begin with

You've magic in your heart
And it spill down to your hands
Every time that you write

You scribble down my soul
Etching with it my dreams
With the hopes that I may heal.

You've got magic in your heart
And it spills down to your hands
Every time that you scribble

You capture my pain
Painting my sorrow
The more that you are.

Please write some more
That magic in your heart
And let my soul free

Free, from the bondage of the past
Free, from the heart aches in my soul
Free, as I could ever dream of

For you hold the power within your hands
To not just free a caged bird
But to teach it, how to fly again.

You've got magic in your heart
And hold its power within your hands
Meticulasly writing my present moment

The more your ink spills
It spills in my name
Carving a path to my future.

Please write some more
The memoirs of a dreamer
Who never had the chance to awaken

Until you held the pen
And wrote me a song
That finally woke me up

From the slumber that I was taking
Without ever realising that
I was asleep to begin with

Loose them (to someone else)

And just like that
It dawned on me

That not everyone
Will have your best interest at heart

No matter how many roses you send
Or boxes of chocolates you buy

No matter the cost
Of the diamond rings

The clothes you may buy
Or the car you may acquire

But just like that
You can loose them, to someone else
