For now and forever



A blinding sunrise, and the cool morning breeze,
The pounding on the road of the determined feet
the smell of sweat and the sound of ragged breathing
none of those ever seemed so sharp and soothing.
Smoky fog and dew drops on rose petals,
greener grass and the warm woolen mittens,
the winding road that makes a stranger your kin,
I know I have changed for now and forever
when the smallest of the sound is music in making,
when life becomes a sumptuous feast,
with all the truffles, tarts and trimmings
laid out in all its grandeur for my leisure..
when the old sweatshirt is all I need for comfort,
and when your smile changes my entire day
so when you asked, did I matter?
All I could think was, I noticed life a bit more
because you were the reason I lived life a bit more.
My life was a plethora of sharp contrasts and big colors
and I was changed, for now and forever.

I would do only so much




I would catch the moon for you, but would you have the time to get amazed?
I would write to you, but would you have the time to read, soak and understand?
I would keep a spot for you always everywhere I go, but would you have time to make it?
I would always dress like a princess just for you, but would your eyes have the time to look at me?
I would fight the world for your happiness, but would you have the time to notice?
I would cross the oceans to come to you, but would you have even missed me?
I would go to hell and come back, just to take your worries away, but then will you have time for me?
I would listen to you all day, but would have the time to share?
I would wait for a glimpse of you all day, but would you have the time to stare?
I would wait to talk and give you another chance, but would have the time to spare?
I would go quiet...and I know you wont have the time to care.
