Lost Words and Seized Heart
I tried to pick my words
From the golden ray shimmer
To write a song
So it can be the music to your ear
And the twinkle of your eye
I tried to write about love and spring
And not about blister and ache thing
I struggled to pick out title “As Perfect as Sky”
And not the “Fading sunshine and Never-ending Cry”
I tried to fill the pages with smiles
And not the hurtful lies
I attempted to rhyme your feelings
With mine
So that you can end your wandering
And set down the roots
I want you to read it
So it can make your soul feel lighter
I tried to include all the adoring metaphors
So I can see your pretty and sparkly eyes
While reading them
I wanted to write about each fragments
Of joyous memories
So I tried to summoned the smell of ocean air
In every pages
To refill your life by the scent of potion
I tried to choose my words wisely
But
They are lost
I wonder how to write about love
Without considering hate
How to write about peace
Without looking at what war is?
How to write about a heart
That’s never bent on revenge
It is hard to write about those treasures
That can’t be seen
Now can you tell me
How’s it feel to have your heart seized?
And how the pain feels like?
So I can infill all the lost pages
With love
that world never knows
And so we all can hear our heart beatings
Through the song
“As perfect as sky”
