Let Down Your Hair.



Singing my lonely song
I had been looking out for so long
I knew the sky in all weathers
I had seen it from above a Tower Tall
I saw the sunlight but could not bask in it
Though could not drench in it,
I touched the rain from my window small.

The Bellflowers blue and roses red
Pansies pink and purple-hearts rare
Periwinkles, primrose and violets
Lilies and forget-me-nots fair
I picked them one after the other
and braided them all in my golden hair
And dropped them down for Mother Gothel
To climb up like a stair
And in all my time spare
I wished and wished and wished
To be there somewhere
Where I could touch the grass, feel the breeze
And smell the ocean air.

But when I saw you I realized
That of all that I wished I never knew,
 That you were what the heart desired
And only you, who knew?
Were all my dreams come true.

You rode into my life
Like a knight in shining armor
Only that you were a thief
Of my Tiara and more
With all your gutsy glamour
Me thou didst enamor
And slowly the floating lights
Were only a beginning
To all those starry nights
I dreamt of, to be with you
Eugene, Mon Amour.

My Prince charming
You made me a princess
Worthy of tiara and trail
And put the old sorceress
To color deathly pale
Your love set me free
To fly, to run, to sail
I am Rapunzel, and this is my Fairytale.

Between Us


I am wondering what to do next in the day
When your face comes my way
And I start wondering where to go to
Because nothing else makes sense
Where else to start from
When You make all the difference
I wonder where I began and when it all took form
This life that has its roots from you.

When I looked at you the first time I don’t remember
But I carry our black and white photographs
Of when I was three.
A pram, a peach frock, a blue jumper and a dandelion
Sunshine and downpour
When you were four.
And now you tower tall and loom over me
And we have few words to share
But when you hug me I can see
That I am still three
Around you.

 It had started too weird
But bad then kept at bay
Missed calls throughout the day
Coffee shops here and there
and lots of cups of tea.
Pouring vibes all over the sheets
Literature to drink and eat
And pray.
You made time stay.
You opened a new world for me
Of pen, paper and prose
Unread stories took shape
And danced in front of me
The muse wanted attention,
I merely supplied.
No matter how much I tried
You kept me spellbound.

I met you through the world
It seemed like a preplanned scheme
It wanted me to fall
To feel and to fly
Free as a feather.
It was like whirlwind
So I closed my eyes
and let it swipe me off my feet
Whenever our eyes did meet
we smiled.
Silence sang between us
as songs that made me sway
The songs I strew on paper
And folded and posted to you
Along with my heart
For a couple of chocolates, a shoulder
A cigarette,
and unconditional Love.


Endless phone calls and conversations
And the billet duos meant for no one
Became yours.
Tender loving care poured and overflew
In mutual consent
My expressions found you and drowned themselves in paper
That I sew word by word, gift wrapped.
Every feeling that I felt when with you
I beaded into a string
and dedicated to you.
You are still a mystery
I unravel everyday
And we have a history
I wish I could chase away
But we have our new beginnings
Lit in broad sunshine
An endless green land
Where we stroll
Hand in hand.

Kindness and gratitude
Measured in heaps
Topped with the cherry
Of how I feel merry
When we are talking
Words flow and I listen
To you unquestioningly
My eyes are you
When you lead me through
I follow simply.
I never say no
I know it’s the right way to go.
Faith is you and me
Woven together
With friendship, joy and concern
Freshly cut and arranged
In a bouquet of flowers.

You know-it-all
You shine through
You smile your smile
The smile of manifold secrets
And zillions of years later
You will still know me inside out
Like I know you
With no camouflage
Wrong hues and color
We are painted black and white
Before each other
My heart I will bare
To others with care
But before you I will dare
To come as I am.

No Matter What


I am all out of love
I don’t want this life painful and lonely
I don’t want to be here
Take me away from here somewhere
I don’t want to live this life
Secluded and shady refuge I ask for
Away from illumination
Complex combination
I don’t want to be an angel
And I can’t be your kin
Ashes fall from my belongings
And I rub it through the skin
Water cannot wipe the stains
And fire cannot warm the chill inside me
Wind will change its course for sure
but things won’t change for me

No matter what I do
No matter where I go
My memories follow me
but my shadow let me go

no matter what I do
things won’t change for me
they are not meant to be
these tears and these pangs
of loneliness and pain
will come every time
will come over again
though I close my eyes
trying to ease the pain
it doesn’t work for me
it comes over again
I can’t hide it anymore
Inside my clothes
It seeps out and oozes to the surface
It won’t stop hurting
I should freeze my breathe, maybe
But things still won’t change for me

No matter what I do
I will live like a memory
In lives of other people
But none of my own story
To tell myself and laugh for me
Only anguish and hurt
Running inside me
No blood no life
No love in these veins
Only ashes and clothes
Also water stains
Trying to catch on to the transitory
I have lost myself in time
Not know I it’s the knell
Or the rusty bells chime
I will ring it for me
But things won’t change for me

No matter what I do
No matter where I go
My memories follow me
But my shadow lets me go

Empty cups of coffee.


I am seeing you after so long
Over a cup of coffee
And they are playing our song
It’s so hard for both of us
We nowhere no more belong
Togetherness means a different story now
Everything has changed and how
We seldom look in the eye
Guess we’ll never have a goodbye
Old habits and new behavior
We do not look the same
There has been no savior
Time has played its game.
But we can still smile
Move along for a while
Even if we do not belong
And almost all went wrong
But we can still find little joys
And the silence between us also has a voice
But the song at the back fills up the place
We will know each other
Beyond Time and Space.
