~ The Gentleman

Once upon a time lived a Wanderlust.
Put down by time, life faded and swirled like a ball of dust.

Beaten by the world, healed by the nature,
Life went on, same problems, just different year.

Birth felt like a mistake to her, wishes to never be born,
Melancholic mind sings a sad grunge song inside, a big grin across the face is worn.

"Life isn't easy,
it's a narrow path to make through,
The valley down at the bottom makes you feel dizzy.
You need support to make it" yes it's true.

Life seemed like a guitar without strings,
A lifeless lark who never sings,
Flute that is never serene,
A silency of hope was more welcomed in.

Like a musician forgetting his notes on the piano,
Playing epoxied notes, fooling himself, but not others.
"Hope you loved my false notes?" hell, its a no.

Like a flesh of meat was her little heart,
easy to be cut and torn apart.

Hoped for happiness from others,
But they knew the lark's weakest feathers.

"Tear them down once she lays eggs!"
"Hmm, that part is delicious. Break those legs!"

They cut down the limbs, hard enough for her to run away.

From.

From the miseries of this huge slaughterhouse.
Broken legs. Heart tore apart. No happiness, nothing to arouse.

Having the broken pieces she tried to tape them up,
Stood up on arms, chanting "Buckle up!"

"Broken heart? I still have heart!"
"Not everyone is bad, people just differ, like pieces of art."

Alas she fell in love once again, and soon she found an another wanderlust the other day,
But seeing no legs, he left her and ran off far away.

She lost it. Lost hope and faith from feeling.
Heart tore down terribly. No tape left for healing.

Initial steps already ruined.
Heart and body totally bruised.

What would she do?
Wearing the grin was easy. But what would she laugh and smile to?

Left all alone,
A young man came suited up.

Tape and scissor in his hand,
Bringing his bond to her like a magic wand.

Tall but broken,
Bearded and tear-soaken,

"I am here to mend your heart madamè" he whispers,
Brings a sample of his broken heart as he whimpers.
She shows him his broken heart, as he says,
"Hey it's fine!"
"Everybody's hearts are broken, some little, and some immensely, like mine."

"Seems to suit mine! Let's try joining my heart to yours."

As he joins his broken piece with hers,
With the broken piece kept in her deepest purse,

Like with the broken piece an another broken piece get joined as it was meant to,
She feels the sudden light spreading through.

From the heart, to the vains, and to the brain,
All the sufferings blending with each other's past pain,
No melancholy individually left remained.

Times passed, and the tape still didn't seem to loosen up!
Tje gentleman's heart blending with the wanderlust, never seemed to be away from her, or she would have given up.

Like a fine recipe, a blend, a mixture, so well, one couldn't separate or make out the hidden ingredients,
"What is it? Ah, what's the difference?"

"The blend seems like it's all one, it doesn't seem like two different things!"
Surprising how one person could give her life some new meanings.

From a rolling ball of dust, slowly into a soothing warmth of fire,
She could even warm the gentleman's coldest spot; No it's not a satire.

And as the gentleman lived all in with her, from a faded passing time to a happy persona that could make a moment stop,
Gentleman felt the warmth in her arms, as he slowly felt his temperature drop.

The healing nature of the gentleman made wanderlust stick to him.

And as the time passed by and the lights went dim,

They fell for each other, love was felt in the air,
The air that couldn't make fire stop, and could not freeze the cold-spotted affair.

As one evening, the gentleman asks the wanderlust,

"What's in me that's making you love me?"
"Ah," the wanderlust smiled, "you taped my heart yourself with yours, oh thee!"

The tape never loosened.

No legs to run away from him anymore, and she felt happy about it for the first time.

Let's Pretend To Be A Tree

How about we pretend to be a tree?
Grow up with me.
Progress with me.

Different species, but same heart to love.
Take time like a turtle to grow, but grow like there's no limit above.

Spend time with me having 0 pair of eyes to look at the clock,
But with the leaves, lets feel each other making our feelings with each other lock.

Talking about roots, lets explore each other's depth,
The depth of cravings, the length of sacrifices, and the vast varied coiled-and-wired breath.

Times are hard, but why not we stand up tall? Together?
Heavy rains, storms, the drizzle, the sun, makes you strong enough to get your courage gathered.
So what if the storms broke us and we lost the battle? Imagine the other trees knowing that you didn't run away, you faced it and won even being shattered.

But oh, being together, we'd never lose it.

What's the point of being together if we were meant to lose?
Nope. It's our unity is what makes our grip tight. A knot is made by making 2 ropes meet. If one of them is missing, its totally loose.

After facing all of them, still standing together is what will make us proud,
Embracing pride together quietly under the silent clouds, instead of being all loud.

Our leaves fall in winter, doesn't mean that I will walk away and leave you?
There's a reason for trees not having feet. They're meant to be faithful, they were meant to stand with the other half as the strong wind blew.

Because soon enough when Autumn hits, the new leaves spring out with a beautiful hue change,
Change that lures the viewers, range to range.

There'd be a time for all of that to come to an end.
Not only those sufferings. But your good times.
Your whole life will descend.

Descending towards the angels that will carry you to the hall of heaven.


So what if you will go away? I don't feel alone. Wasn't it about the long good times, without looking at the clock, spending time together, facing the hardships together, when weren't we together, when?

Rejoice those times. And leave this earth, happily with the Angels of Paradise.
Because as the new morning with the saplings arise,
Hear me creeping in the heaven around you.

Don't you remember? Remember what I said in the beginning?

I don't have legs to run away from you.
But I have roots connected to you.
To smell you.
To feel you.
To reach you.

And as the clouds surround us when we meet,
I'll quietly, whisper to you as the wind would make us rustle,

"Done with the world. Now let's face heaven?"
