The sea is alone

The wind can only brush it,
no fragrance it does carry
the sea is always alone

Hustles and bustles
sand and pebbles
No one does really answer
the sea is always alone

Engulfs the proud sun
reflects the wide sky
Widens the passing night light
but the sea is always alone

So much it says with its
wild wild wave
Once in the sea, there is nothing but void
only deafening emptiness

Like seeping the sorrow, the river of tears
all runs towards it, even snow, an essence of it
may dream to run, run away but will return home to the sea
and yet the sea is always alone

No fire can touch, no air can carry it all
With so much to offer
longing and belonging to all
yet I don't know why the sea is always alone

Breathless

Gazing lost in the city, I see you across the crowd

You, your signature leather jacket, tilted smile and crossed hands

It had been a while since I had seen you,

I wait to see if it is you, if I daydreamed

As soon as I know it is you, I run, run away

To my bubble, the home, to the place no one can hurt me

But my walls are far away, I run, I turn and there you are

closer and closer, I feel my heart beating, you made me feel

The loss of proximity, your perseverance

"I shall never let go", those voices resonate 

"I know,

 never will I find someone like you"

And there you were inch to inch,

trying to hold hands, I retaliate, 

"I shall hurt you", I said

"What hurts more is not be able to call you mine"

I turn to run, and as I do

I turn to see emptiness, 

Empty sheets and cold heart.

A dream it was.

Seems like I held on to nothing but thin air

You were the air, your words weightless

You hit me like a whirlwind, a hurricane,

and now I am out of breath
