Musings from the Dreamy World

1.
There's a chunk of land,
just above the ground.
It's for real;
Don't you believe?
Raise your head and see above;
Can't you see the tinkling bells,
and all the smiling people?
Can't you see yourself among them?
Now,don't you lie.

I can see you are there.
I can see you are not broken anymore.
I see your true smile;
You are beautiful.


Believers believe it's not heaven;
For a simple reason;
They believe,
they can heal themselves.

But,you see,I lied.
That chunk of land,
is just on the ground.
It's for real;
Don't you believe?
Open your eyes and see what's before;
Can't you see the tinkling bells
and all the smiling people?
Can't you see yourself among them?
Now,don't you lie.

2. My love

Now I lie on my leaf,
with grounded feet,
and a wet heart,pounding heavy;
I can't weep though,
for my tears,
volatile in love;
Had nothing else to say.

I used to fly around,
on my leaf.
Over the flowers and around
the twigs,through the sunlight;
And over the graceful peace;
Unhindered and virgin.

Until I saw my love;
Whom I cared the most.
I knew not that I was in love
until I saw her smile
the most perfect thing
that seemed
but now shall never be.

And now I can't fly;
For my heart aches,
lives and dies.
I can't forgive
nor can I regret
what I saw;
My thoughts empty,
efforts futile,
dreams melancholic;
I remain on my leaf,
with grounded feet,
and a wet heart,pounding heavy;
I can't weep though,
for my tears,
volatile in love;
Had nothing else to say.
