Piercing the leaves in the air hit
Two sharp arrows from the mist
Into my heart as the pain persists,
In silence, I cried as the hope desist.
Dark in the woods, seen an angel
In a hood, shining bright on the head,
Had a crown of light, bright and round
That hold my breath; I’m not yet dead.
Soothing the pain, her blue big eyes,
Beauty she is, a captivating surprise,
In life and death, I want to go with otherwise,
Don’t need this life without her at sunrise.
Wet and swell her rosy little lips,
Kiss my wound as the warm blood drips,
Drop by drop falling on the sticks,
Dry though sprout, fresh little leaves.
Sprout and fall the pretty little leaves,
As stops the heart red that bleeds,
No agony, no suffering all she waives,
Sucking all the blood in the dark green veins.
White and pale turns out the skin,
Cold and stiff making the body within.
Sharp and red turns the invisible horns,
Revealing the angel, the true face as in.

Walking in the storm, in dark, we found each other
The moment you saw me in no doubt, felt much better
With hand in hand, we walked, step by step we moved
Never knew that direction, for us, the path waved
The storm has no mercy, it took out the light
All it is trying to give us a one-on-one fight
Holding your hand in mine and holding the breath
That you had left for me in my darker depth
Seeing you suffer alone wrenches my heart
I feel the storm thundering inside my thought
Push me not, my love, I’m there no matter what
Remember, whatever bothering you dear is not your solo fight.

To all those who seek satisfaction in giving,
To all those who eat full by sharing half,
To all those who walk behind lending afoot,
To all those who feed stray dogs in what earn,
To all those who save for their offsprings,
To all those who take half salaries to spend time,
To all those who stand up for their little brothers,
To all those who treat angels, their little sisters,
To all those who believe in old woman on the moon,
To all those who sleep in father’s cuddles,
To all those who help mothers in the kitchen,
To all those who take little risks,
To all those who take huge responsibilities,
To all those who toast coffee with enemies,
To all those who become neighbors on the border,
To all those who realize borders are nothing,
To all those who know borders are for land,
To all those who know how to lead,
To all those who give freedom and choice,
To all those who take them,
To all those who enjoy seeing a bid fly,
To all those who walk hand in hand,
To all those who draw a heart in love shape,
To all those who write love in new words,
To all those who never say ‘I love you’, but show it,
To all those who care more than themselves,
To all those who take the bullet for the loved,
To all those who make everyday a Valentine’s,
To all those who think they can live with just love,
To all those who know that it’s true,
To all those in love and do,
I wish you a very Happy Valentine’s Day,
To remind that we are living in a world,
To give love and to take.
