Silent Echoes

You make me smile,
you really do.
I wished i knew.
I wished i knew.
There are things you wished to be,
but could never be.
Though you hoped to be.
You make me smile,
and the night worthwhile,
We're close, though separated
by miles.
Though you're there,
And I, here.
Still!
You make me smile,
you really, really do.
Stay?
Even for a while.

In between you and me
is an empty space.
And yet i cannot be near you.
I tried to reach
for your hand,
and you try to reach for mine too.
But in between me and you,
is an empty space.

I can see you far away
Clearly, as if you're near
Coz' there's only emptiness
in between you and me.

I feel your arms around me
as i think about wrapping mine around you.
It's as if you are near
Even though i do not see you.

I miss you...

And as the light of day
cracks the ceiling of night,
I can see vividly
the empty space
that's in between you and me;
an unburdened clarity.

I walk towards you,
but you move away
as i move close.
You are at the limit of my sight.
I could never reach you.

I miss you...

In between you and me
is an empty space
called distance.
May it be far or near,
a breathe away or an ocean,
or a sea
There will always be an empty space
in between you and me.

And i miss you...

The night will never be silent;
the whistle of the wind,
the rustle of leaves,
even the dead silence
All speak your name,
and remind me
of how much i miss you
Which i myself does not know.

I have allied with the night
and plead to stop
bringing you to me
For even the thought
of our distance
trembles my knees.

I have been reminded
of you once again
This has been
one of the countless times
and i have lost count,
since you left.
The night brought you to me
I am in emptiness,
in a vortex of pristine nostalgia,
But in all of this,
still i am filled.

A glimpse of you is all i need
Even a faint after-sight
from my eye's periphery
Will make this emptiness
become a figment of my thought.

You're a figment of my thought.

The remnants of your scent
is all i need
Even a fleeting aroma
of where you have passed
Will erase this sadness
and make it a figment of my thought.

You are a figment of my thought.

A soft echo of your voice
is all that i require
Even a residue of its echoes
Will make missing you
become a figment of my thought.

You are a figment of my thought.

A dream from my dream.
The sweetness after a kiss.
The chill of the wind.
You are the salt in the air,
the excitement of the shore.
You are a figment of my thought,
nothing more.

You are the yesterdays gone by
The tomorrows yet to be
You are the last thought before i sleep,
the first thought when i wake.

You are all that i desire.
All that i'll ever need.
But you are just a figment of my thought.
How will you ever satisfy me?

aindrops keep falling
but the sky's still grey
My mind is drifting
from so far away
I'm staring outside
but nothing to see
Thinking of your smile,
wish you're here with me..


Raindrops still falling
will it ever stop?
Time is moving slow
i'm caught in a trap
My heart keeps beating
so fast and so slow
Been thinking of you,
just want you to know..


I'm falling for you
Like the rain i see
I'm falling so hard,
out my sanity..
My heart beats for you
It's taking its toll..
I think i've fallen
Like raindrops,
they fall..

It was a night
like any other night.
The concrete road
turned black
Firefly lights
held by upright posts
illuminating little corners
with flaming apathy.

I stood outside
my dusty terrace
in awe and
in dismay
for this was a night
like any other night.

The crackles of modernity
is few now
than in morning,
but you still do not hear
nature's passion--
not anymore.

From the ear of my mind,
I hear the muted beating
of my heart.
Like patterned thuds
of drums by the fingers
of desire.

As i was about
to go back inside my room
to sulk in learned helplessness,
upon my fourth trudge,
i saw the sky
begotten a broken smile.

The moon in a queer smile,
scintillating in hopefulness
waiting for the day
that it'll meet
its source of light.

I hear the muted beating
of my heart,
the silenced moans and
untrickled tears
hidden just inches beneath
the hoping of tomorrow--
A tomorrow with you..

Then i will myself
to sleep.

When the sky turns darks
The sun fade away
I look up the sky
Andi see your face
Theni wonder why
You are all i see
The sweet memories
When you are with me

Then i grab my phone
Hoping you would call
Sat on the corner
Waiting til' forever
Your eyes mesmerized me
Your eyes struck my heart
I'm going insane
Been like this since the start

As the stars twinkle
As the moonlight glows
Your face still lingers
Just can't get over
I reach for the sky
Wishing you'll be mine
Mine to call my own
Dreaming the impossible

As the clock strikes twelve
The wind blowing cold
Your face still lingers
Still can't get over
While i write your name
On the window pane
Can't think of someone
Who misses you the same

I lay down to rest
Then i close my eyes
Your face still lingers
I can't get over
I wish you were here
Spending this time with me
You are all that i need
Help me cure this insanity..

the incessant night
ever so dark
failed to hide
a secret love affair
not that it's hiding
from someone or something
nor are they loath--
they be seen together
more none than so
for gravity repels
and shatters
their vagary of togetherness
one reaches the other
amidst the oppugn
while one sheds a tear
of hopelessness
from the veracity and candor
of reality
the star, the moon
a mirage of a love affair
failed to be hidden
by the incessant night
a million lightyears
is as close as they get
a sad awaken
of what is real--
but should it be?

the incessant night
ever so consuming
failed to hide
a secret love affair.

At first my life seemed so gray
Living in my shadow world of despair and pretentions
I cry silently til' my eyes run dry
I wanted someone to hear me,
and hoping no one will..
All the while i wear masks of smiles
Trying to hide the frowns in me
I was so lost in the crooked paths of life
Hoping to see the unburdened clarity..
Every time i look up,
the sky seemed down..
I thought i was dreaming
I badly wanted to wake up
Scream til' my voice runs out
But no matter how and what i try
My voice just won't come out
Choked by despondence
I cried to be understood
My life seemed so full of colors
But what i see are shades of gray..

I distance myself from the world
Hoping to find company in loneliness
But all i hear is silence
i couldn't hear no sound
My life's been raining for as long
as i could remember
Been walking on wet ground for so long
the clouds in the sky's still too dark
Never saw the sun shine above my head
I'm blinded by my darkness
Charred by my own despair
Numbed by the unending grasp
of life's torture..
Swayed...
Coz' i'm all alone
They say life's a fairytale
Mine's all messed up
I'm walking on bare feet
and i don't mind the pain
I may bleed..
But the rain will wash it away
My life may seem vibrant and bright
But in my eyes,
I see silhouettes and shadows..

Then you came..
You heard my voiceless scream
pulled me out of my shadow world
and you smiled..
You saw right through my curtains
and took a glance..
The pain i felt for so long came tumbling down my eyes..
I don't want to cry
but you are worth my tears
I knocked at your door
you gave me a chance..
My world got a little brighter
your smile shined right through me..
The mask i wore i took off for you,
and you took it from me..
My rain stopped
still you sheltered me..
I smiled
You placed the missing puzzle in my life
you completed me..
The sadness i felt for so long
came rumbling down the cliff
You did not put my slippers
on my bare feet
But you took off yours
And you walked with me..
You pulled the cloak that's
blocking my light..
You are my light
If you're a dream
I won't wake up..
Sleep til' i no longer breathe
and if you are true,
then reality is vain..
I'm going to keep you
They say life's a fairytale
I say it is not
And don't want it to be..
Fairytales has happy ending
But endings are never happy..
I want you to stay
til' the end of time
Coz you make me smile..
And i love you...
My life may seem so colorful
And in my eyes Now!
That's what i see..

Behind the white curtain
burdened by dust
and invisible infestations,
there lies an exact replica
of a white light.
A light conceived
by a waking of neglect.

Like a portrait
in a semi-translucent canvass,
It remains unchanged.
With no wobbling,
it stays unaltered.

But further more
the canvass that mimicked
the calmness of the night sky,
there lies a semi-glow
of gray-scattered conspicuousness.

Unlike the unchanging portrait
its parent is a great ball
of vitality
(bigger than tangibility,
smaller than imagination)
Unlike the light
painted on the glass window,
It ebbs like
the tide it commands.

One light, unchanging
Another, seemingly falling.
For once it was a top all,
now it took cover
behind the concrete pane.

It slowly disappears
but it will greet
the goodbyes of the undilating
charm of day,
where it sits gleefully
in its borrowed thrown.

One light is unchanging,
another, dynamic.
