together

sitting on the park bench

the gentle breeze brushing past her freckled cheeks

the rustling leaves seem to whisper greetings in her ears

as she sits on the warm seat

she waits

across from her,

stands a lone boy on the speckled path

tall and built an image of strength and protection

looking and seeking

he waits

now the wait is over

and she is holding the bouquet he got for her

holding hands;

they just look out at the life they have ahead of them

together

effects

you set the butterflies in me into a flutter

a good sort of fluttering frenzy

you cause my heart to beat so hard

a good adrenaline pumping rush

you make me imagine all sorts of fantasies

a good bunch of fairytale stories

you make me beam a wide dazzling smile

a good shine of in-love radiance

and this is the part

you tell me you love me

love

wish as hard as i might;

i know you won't appear in front of me

not at that instant;

not immediately

pray as hard as i might;

i know you can't be right here with me

not at this moment;

not right now

but it's the care that bonds

and the love that links

the faith that ties

and the trust that lingers

it's the times of absence

that makes each time we're together sweeter

and for the euphoria that awaits

i wait,wish and pray patiently

that you do the same

ride

it was your everything that took my breath away

your voice and your eyes

your lips and your smile

your warmth and your soul

your love and your heart

you took what's left of me

and turned my world around

before you it was all grey skys and waters

but now i see reds of autumn and greens of spring

you took me on a journey i wish will never end

holding on tight;

i'm ready for the ride

you

your love i yearn for

your arms i crave for

your presence i ache for

yet i cry for you

i ache because of you

i feel helpless around you

your mind is a puzzle i will never solve

your heart a constant change

your entirety i am unsure about

will you hold out for me

and wait for me?

incoherent thoughts

building up a wall

surrounding yourself

calling upon your inner strength to fight off all the pain

you build a wall

the wall seem to close in

with no escape route

you're stuck with no where to run

the air is thick and heavy

breathing is a task to torturous you can't muster the strength

but even with my last breath,

i'm still gonna tell you

i love you

stepping stones

life is a course full of stepping stones

ones you have to cross to succeed

although not everything is measured in medals and trophies,

nor is it quantified in points or grades

we still pursue an icon of succession

though to some, every obstacle may be a pitfall

and every difficulty a failure

but when we view it as a simple stepping stone

we learn to learn

we learn from these stepping stones

that though we might not have achieved what we wanted

but we definitely have gained a little knowledge and strength

and we have also accumulated a stronger will and mind

for it is these things that drive the person forward

and pushes the envelope

till we finally stop breathing

will our path of life ends

and only till then will these stepping stones

come to an end
