17 June 2011 - What Not To Want

I want to not argue unless for philosophical purposes
I want to not cry unless I am on the stage
I want to not scream unless it's with my friends
I want to not lose myself unless you promise me you'll bring me back

I want to not fall unless you catch me
I want to not close my eyes unless it's something ugly
I want to not know unless the truth doesn't hurt
I want to not open myself unless someone shows me what trust is again

18 June 2011 - The Tree of Friendship

I wonder what happened to a thing called friendship
Where strangers met through a twist of fate
And acquaintances got to know each other
Thus the first sprout appeared


I think though what happened to a warmth named friendship
When friends talked away the night
And good ones experienced miracles
Then the shoot pushed to be taller

I dream what happened to a way addressed friendship
How close buddies learned about dreaming together
And reaching forever
So the stem becomes firmer

I ponder what happened to a concept termed friendship
What was hard to get out
Seemed natural with a bestie
Hence branches shout towards the sky

I puzzle over what happened to a subject titled friendship
Who showed you that believing isn’t hard
And earned the trust you thought didn’t exist
Therefore leaves start growing lusciously

I marvel what happened to a phenomenon designated friendship
Which time of the day when you didn’t think of your friend
Seemed long enough to kill
Thereupon flowers bloom ever so beautifully

Upon thus first kiss

I contemplate what happened to a matter labeled friendship
When you thought nothing will ever go wrong
And lost yourself in blind bliss
Consequently the structure seems so strong

I deliberate what happened to a magic declared friendship
Where the other half was both your love and best friend
Just had to let you down
Causing petals to fall

I cry about what happened to a love dubbed friendship
Who made you see hope
And took away your faith
Leading to drifting autumn leaves

I muse what happened to a tranquility proclaimed friendship
How things can change over night
Just by a word, an action, a misunderstanding
Leaving it barren

I mull over what happened to a laughter styled friendship
What was going to get you through
Is now gone and walking away
Ending all even as the trunk disappears

This is The Tree of Friendship

Love is like a scab; it's never pretty
Say something sweet; time will heal all wounds
Do something wrong; all that remains is just a scar
