what makes one weak.?
- their thoughts.
all my midnights are like this, loveless and soulless.
how magical my life used to be
so beautiful and enchanted
then something happened, i grew up
and its like all of that magic faded
sunshine, rainbows, stars & moon
were so divinely mesmerising to me
then something happened, i grew up
now there's all darkness that i see
i had so many friends on those days
dolls, toys and things to play with
then something happened, i grew up
happiness is just as myth
no worries, sadness and fear of life
everything was peaceful and perfect
then something happened, i grew up
after that, pleasant forever slept

what if we could see wind..?
a cold breeze in winter morning or gentle flow in sunny day.
love is so as like as wind.
a very essential but invisible thing.
it isn't just an object or a prize, it is something keeping me alive and each one of us.
we cannot see what is letting out hair flow in a space where there is barely something, or what is drying our clothes when there is no sun.
there is so many things we don't think about.
example, love.?
can we ever reach to the end of how much we adore someone..?
everything is so less and few infront of them.
we don't know how much we inhale the air but we know it is something as valuable as our life.
will we ever know it's importance as long as we survive..?

that house next to the jungle belongs to a care-taker
people call it macabre night cause it ignites terror
there is a rumour escalated throughout the town
a woman was found dead in blood stained gown
no one was brave enough, they didn't dig her a grave
no one tried to let her soul have a peaceful death
first week and people came there just to see her
they raped the body and made sure it was just a cadaver
she was already dead, i guess her soul was agonizing
how shameless humans are, didn't hesitate to do the sin
second week, my body couldn't rest thinking of that sight
she was dead and people were acting as if it was all right.
one morning, an old man came infront of my door
he asked me water and said, "can she rest her core.?"
tears drifted from my eyes, i cried from within that day
i was brave and decided to walk on forbidden way
i paced forward with ocean and flood in my eyes
i went closer to her body, i kept my trepidation aside
i saw a shovel nearby, started to dig at the very corner.
carried her body by my hands and stood to mourn her.
i kept the lock lose,
just for his presence.
maybe he would come,
for that i cut the fence.
he came with matches,
and stones on his hand.
he burned everything,
just left me a bare land.
i loved him all my life,
but he shattered me so.
i kept him above all,
never wanted him to go.
i was living all alone,
he left me like a past.
i never fell in love,
he was my ever and last.
two bodies dying to be in love
together to stay that forever
it is difficult to confess
their eyes can't feel eachother
skin and souls fighting
one wants warmth of intimacy
and there is another
who is drowned in the sea
no one knows better than me
what it is to stay alive in someone
when you have no reason to live
a love will give you a reason to die
lover shall kill you from inside out
eventually they'll be
the person you can't live without
hope you'll not be that cruel for me
for the reason i gave you my heart
be kind to me and all
you have my most delicate part.

"You look awful without me." She whispered in his ear as his hand rushed along with her waist.
They were dancing. It was dark, vague dark. The only thing they could see were their eyes glistening by the reflection of moon.
"I want this night forever, just with you." He mumbled slowly.
"You have me." she said when his fingers were moving through her lips until he moved forward to feel them with his own.
It was their first kiss and it seems like that went great. They had booked a hotel room near the lake so even they forget their hotel location, they could find it by lake.
She was taking her clothes off. He was gazing at her body as if he is watching something so as valuable as souvenir. The temptation he had to resist to not feel the delicacy of her skin was so cruel. His eyes were restless.
"Don't stare." she said furiously.
"I serve art." He replied with a kiss on her forhead.
They were writing an epic on eachother's eyes.
"How can something be so pleasing and painful at the same time.?" She questioned with ocean in her eyes.
All their life, they were longing for intimacy, a companion, a partner, a friend. And now they have eachother but they couldn't figure out the situation. Why is it so hard to accept that you are really in love.?
"This must be my most genuine hug." He said knotting his arms around her.
They danced that whole night, screamed on Taylor Swift, wrote poems, cried, laughed, played, jumped. It counted on the list of their best nights.
