I'm Intoxicated
By The Romance
Of The Unusual
I
have left a corner for myself in the mystic wood,
Here
I belong to myself,
Lost
in my thoughts I embrace the dark,
The
fragrance of my solitude surrounds me,
Silver
moon lends me the light
And
I search the missing pieces of my heart.
I
regret nothing,
The
endlessly changing horizon brings joy,
I'm
intoxicated by the romance of the unusual,
Every
breath that overflows with love
Ensures
me peace in a world of guile
At
the right time with blessings showered from above.
Rivers
change its course,
Mountains
change over time,
Seasons
come and go,
Though
poetry is inseparable from predictable rhyme,
Day
breaks into my mystic wood like a beautiful love story,
Universe
calls me back to battle with time.

My Heart Is Blue
Blood Is Purple
My
heart is blue, blood is purple,
Is
it enough for you to fall in love with me?
Or
you want to stay away?
Yes,
I'm different,
I
count stars at night,
I
talk to the silver moon when nobody is around,
Fire
within me burns bright,.
Come,
spend some time with me,
I'll
give you my tranquil serenity,
Make
you believe in me
Beyond
the boundaries of enmity.
My
heart is blue and it never lies,
Purple
blood flowing through my veins is pure,
It
will bleed in sorrow and as many times you cry,
Yes,
I'm different,
And
I feel love in its multiple hues.
I
run with the mist,
Float
with the clouds,
I'm
lost in my thoughts clear and loud
Yes
,I'm different,
My
heart is blue, blood is purple,
Is
it enough for you to fall in love with me?

Drops Of Despair
My
tattered blue sky beckons me.
Memories
of winter,
Hope
of spring has woven a beautiful tapestry,
Abstract
yet real,
Sending
my love to you on the wings of cotton clouds,
Receive
it with care,
Time
waits for none,
I'm
here today, tomorrow I'll be gone,
Who
knows what's in store for you and me?
Emptiness
of the heart give birth to tears,
Unpredictable
and spontaneous,
May
fall on the earth as drops of despair,
Don't
go anywhere,
Be
there to collect it in your chalice of life.
