Jewels


A night clearer than my eyes had seen in the most cloudless hours of the day light.
If it was possible to witness heaven,
It had laid right before my eyes.

As a child, I had thought of the stars to be fury of loneliness,
But now it was I, who was lonely under the stars.
Cold, inside and out, only to be wrapped around a thin orange shawl.

Trying to figure out and name the diamonds that hanged from the darkest skies,
Whilst the moon was hiding away.

Dizzied from the empirical beauty of the jewels above my head,
Enchanted, though I longed for your true presence instead.

Smile Again


I guess I missed out again,
On a day that could’ve been filled with laughter.
My head’s been placed somewhere I can’t find,
But I promise, in the end it will all be fine.

Funny how you were the one who said these words,
So I’m barely the right author.
How many times will you be able to forgive?
Before you decide not to.

The memories of you,
They managed to run through my veins.
It’s easier than breathing
Your beauty I’m still learning to embrace.

At times I may be just a nuisance,
Know that I’m fighting my way through the dark.
I’ve already seen the glimmers up above,
And I’ll make you smile again.

Once a cold hearted woman,
Who kept it all deep inside.
Walking towards the future,
With no plausible aim set in mind.

You, the unexpected guest of the show,
Took the centre stage under the starless night.
Excuse me while I try to set my heart beat
Back to below the speed of light.

The memories of you,
They managed to run through my veins.
It’s easier than breathing
Your beauty I’m still learning to embrace.

At times I may be just a nuisance,
Know that I’m fighting my way through the dark.
I’ve already seen the glimmers up above,

And I’ll make you smile again.
