i wish he would look at me
it seems like i’m always staring at him
i wish he would talk to me
we could enjoy such great conversations
i’m not sure he even knows i’m alive
and i don’t know what to do
i’m afraid of what might happen
or what might not
should i try to approach him?
i don’t know yet
i really want to
but it’s never gone well before
We take it in turns
to fall backwards
and catch each other,
a game to show
how much trust you can place
in another person.
Am I too heavy for you?
you ask, falling softly
into my arms for
the third or fourth time,
no, I answer,
of course not, no.

I’ve noticed that the meaning of life
Isn’t some complicated thing,
It’s really quite simple:
Find out who you really are deep inside
And live your life doing what
You really love doing,
Don’t pretend to be someone you’re not,
Heal yourself,
Put yourself in others’ shoes,
Treat yourself and others with kindness,
Make the world a better place for
Yourself and everyone else,
Treat the planet with care,
Smile and laugh often,
Do nice things,
And love yourself and others.
Do good not to have it reciprocated
Be kind not to be treated kindly
Be your best not to have the best
Be yourself not to be imitated
Love not to be loved back
Care not to be cared for
Think not to be thought about
Give not to get back
Give up not to hurt
Give up but to save yourself
Walk away not to be missed
Walk away but to be cherished
A glowing candle
Follow the depths of my soul
My reflection in your eyes.
Eager regard as though in a dream
Man of the depths of my heart
Your breathing the same as mine
You are the water that quenches me
The waxing moon alive
Sprinkles us with wishes of eternal love
Joy and soul rituals of love
Playful kisses yielding rapture
You lift me up to heights I never knew
My path to true felicity.
Knocked once, you pressed me twice
A cold-hearted person with a dice
Sweet girl that is in love with a price
Cut me through with just one slice
Since you were so nice
Listened to their advice
Sacrificed won’t suffice
Acting as cold as ice
Am over the edge of paradise
Fooling myself with all the lies
All she believes are her eyes
That only sees the darkest skies
Didn’t notice the angel in disguise
The great door open flies
Just like the love defies
When the memory dies
Still the writer cries
And softly sighs
In distance will arise
Just barely staying alive
Your brown eyes
enigmatic as the
Universe itself
your wonderful red lips
enigmatic as the
Universe itself
Your brilliant smile
enigmatic as the
Universe itself
Feel happy at the natural sites
Pleasantness comes in life
Feel happy at river-flow site
One’s ideas flow like water flow
Pray my Nature God for my birth
Godness is beautiful nature
Nature belongs to living beings
Preserve my beauty land
I feel happy to adores my nature
My loving the nature, is my loving the Universe
My breathing the oxygen, is my living the life
I can’t pack the air, but for my deeds
Beauty lies in the farm land
Waterfalls is the life-line
Life’s happiness is the river flows
Not pollute the water and air
Am here in this glittering world
Nature has compositions
Nature knew its compositions well
Nature has hidden healing powers
Avoid and avoid, conflicts and combats
Minds vary from leader to leader
Hope to be optimistic for peace and tranquility
Don’t suggest for gun and bomb battles
People in power, can’t act fast
Power is not for combats and conflicts
Souls weep if lives are lost
Cursing can ruin the heredity’s soon

A love so pure
And genuine.
We finish each other’s sentences,
Think the same things,
Laugh happily.
An effortless joy comes
Upon us when we’re together.
I love being in your arms and
Hearing your soft voice
Comforting me,
Filling me with hope.
A love like ours only
Comes around once
In a lifetime,
Magnificent,
Beautiful,
Eternal.
