Love Letters Read online

  Even for a second!

  Will you?

  *****

  Will you be the one to settle with me at last?

  And save my precious energy

  from wandering

  Will you accept my all?

  And be the one

  to occupy the secret places in my world

  Will you be my honey?

  To turn my bittersweet memories

  To take a bite of bliss

  Will you be my angel day and night?

  To guide my blind senses to the light

  Will you be the music?

  To become the alarm on my wedding day

  to wake my sleeping heart to blossom spring

  With the ring

  Beauty or dignity?

  Shame or lame?

  I’m here for YOU!

  To my Crush

  *****

  The smell of your distant thoughts

  Captivates me with sweet touches.

  I am a solo singer

  Mused by your hallucinations everyday

  I don’t deserve the Grammy awards,

  your melting heart my reward.

  Anytime our paths cross

  I don’t know exactly what to always say

  That’s why I weep in joy

  When I want to say hello to you

  Whenever you are lonely

  And you need someone by your side

  Close your eyes and imagine me so close

  And I promise you

  I will fly without wings

  be right there to sing, your favorite song

  that will heal and make us strong .

  I can’t stand how much

  The celestial bodies will someday gossip

  about our nuptial charm.

  When Love meets Fantasies

  *****

  Love me,

  only with your eyes

  And I won’t need a mirror

  to flatter me how awesome I am

  Love me,

  only with your sincere confessions

  And my thirst will be quenched

  By your sweet nectar

  Love me,

  only with your prayers

  And I will forever be well

  Without a doctor

  You are my invisible vaccine

  I love you

  For all the beautiful things

  That no one else discovered in me

  But, YOU!

  ONLY YOU

  *****

  Only you

  Could make me cry a river of tears

  Without feeling the pains

  Only you

  Could build a dream home in me

  Without knowledge of architecture

  Only you

  Could get me dancing off my feet

  Without music

  Only you

  Could cure my insomnia

  With no pills

  [Healed by our mutual lullaby]

  Only you

  Could still say, ‘I trust

  Though I see in your eyes lust’

  Only you

  Could make us complete

  By taking the first step

  To making our ties grow

  Through our weaknesses and strength every day.

  Only YOU!

  A Patient Heart in Love

  *****

  When first step is turned down

  Look up and see the crown

  Follow your heart’s song

  Today may deny you, your true place where you belong

  Still walk the reality tracks

  This will sometimes stir emotions of insecurity or lack

  But remember you’ll soon be strong.

  [A patient heart in love]

  No matter the broken pieces left to mend

  Will surely win in the end.

  Wrong Kiss

  *****

  Sweetie

  Your adorable eyes I will miss

  Your perfume compliments,

  My soft lips can’t dismiss

 

  I lost a twin in me

  When I realized you were gone,

  forever

 

  You plucked away

  A piece of my heart

  Every time the pamper

  Of your kiss mastered promises as an art

 

  I pledge for your lucky finder,

  A fortune of you

  For how perfectly you stole me at a glance

 

  The world decided to trade you

  For my past memories

  Tell me a way to make it,

  Without being haunted by your thoughts…

 

  Why did you leave so soon without a sign?

  I didn’t see this coming,

  I would have prepared strong

  And stopped my manly tears from choking me

 

  In your place

  A stranger walked to me

  Scared to breathe

  Sentenced to silence

  Tempted to touch

 

  Before, my lips could confess the Approaching charm

  [what seemed like a dream]

  Made our lips slide

  And the nuptial feelings evoked,

  Hit me like a wild tsunami

  I drank more than enough,

  I could easily be passed for the wine jar itself

  As we closed our eyes

  And journeyed on the slippery roads of the unknown

  My senses woke up and discovered more than in the before

 

  What seemed like a wrong kiss

  Bless me with a non-refundable loan

  To repay for my lost love

  And I knew I will always love my first mistake.

  Missing Kiss

  *****

  Kiss me passionately

  And let your charm seal the promise

  That we will both age gracefully

 

  Soak me in your dew

  And your everlasting water

  Will quench my burning desire

 

  Crawl your lips on mine

  And am lost between eternity and forever

 

  When my lips get bonded to yours

  Our silent stares will grow stronger

  Than echoes could exclaim!

 

  Crawl your lips on mine

  And the proud peacock will bow

  To our nuptial beauty

 

  One kiss to wash away my pain

  One kiss to build my fantasies a home

 

  I swear

  When your kiss finds me

  I’ll be a hero!

  First Kiss

  *****

  When you first held my hands

  It was too good

  For my senses to understand

  Heav’n came to witness

  As our homeland

  When our eyes met

  I saw Mars propose love to Venus, at sunset

  My tears dance

  What a rare sight to chance

  When I first cried

  Your heart understood the pain

  My being couldn’t explain

  That’s why your charm

  Gave me no option to complain

  I felt deep love

  Whenever I fell asleep in your soft arms

  These fond gifts from you came from above.

  The first kiss softens the beauty

  Of the moons and stars

  Spilling their liquid to water me

  ‘till the day after eternity

  My senses went floating

  When my mama gave me my first kiss

  On my forehead!

  Something from Sweet Christmas & New Poems Book

  A little Child’s letter to God on Christmas Day

  *****

  Dear God

  Many, many Christmases have passed me by,

  I sent you several letters,

  No sign to show you received any of them.

  Please tell me,

  If you are taking time to answer me in a special way,

  I guess that will be enough to console me with a hug,

  and make me feel just alright as your little child.

  I starved myself of the soft and yummy ice cream for weeks,

  saved my last pennies for my envelope and writing pad.

  And the other kids made me into a teasing stock.

  Oh, Dear God

  Hear me out

  Just this one moment

  Search through my heart

  Please, don’t let this last tear drop,

  Walk through my cheeks in vain.

  Is it because you know what I am thinking?

  I am a sinner

  I broke rules too

  And I didn’t do my homework the last time

  When I want to compare

  All the new things the other kids have for Christmas,

  It will only increase my pain.

  All I have is a piece of my heart I share in this letter.

  I have no more tears

  I wait for the day when I will also smile

  And when they see me from miles afar

  The teasing label will become a pleasing star

  Dear Lord, I don’t want much this Christmas.

  Bless my world to accept me for who I am.
