THINKING OUT LOUD

Solitude and

serenity reigned in

my self-built paradise, with a

fragile innocence that owned
the cloaks of gaiety and freedom.

My own soul was
my knight and my valiant warrior
while strength and sanity was
my fearless shadow- graced
with a sense of being
that nurtured
my soul.

Peace has been my own sky beneath
sunrise and sunset in the
endless cycle of bliss in
a charmed world
I’ve set.

Until our
worlds collided.

Out of nowhere- you’ve came
with a spell stronger
than mine.

The wind whispered- you’ve known

that I always hide in the middle of crowds,
I grieve amidst cheers and laughter, and
lonesome in the height of victory.

In the silence of your voice, I heard

the songs of hidden truth unsaid.

Indeed, you are- the mirror
to show the way beyond
the world I’ve made.

I fear the force you bring

Strong, unknown, untamed, for

mine is, but- a tiny speck from

your overwhelming sky.

Should I then take a
safe retreat for sanity to hold me high-
or, should I run away again-
like I always did when fate seems
to lead me towards the pathway of hearts
that others mostly seek.

Thus,
here I am- thinking
out loud
again.
