The moon has asked
To reside in him
When I feel lonely.
It promised me
It would merge my scars
With its own
And hide me
In its darker side
When everyone
Would leave me alone.

Hearts decide
To fall deep in love
Why do they betray at last? -
From the deepest of my core,
builds the hurricane of guilt
That washes away my happy world
on shore. -

Hold me close
But let me breathe too. -

Breathe in the breeze
That carries droplets of my tears.
Maybe your heart will know
What my words couldn't show. -

Your heart that beats a little faster, your heart that cries a little louder (in silence), makes you vulnerable to all the fleeting moments of life which were supposed to just pass away and not engrave in you, the deepest way.

Long ago, when my eyes were bright
I heard of a witch, weathered by time
She carried with her a coffin in a cart
That she lugged around, rain or shine
The townsfolk said that it was her lover,
Who had died the worst kind of death,
And every month, when the moon was new
She'd try to revive him with her breath.
'She'd breathe on him,' Old Tim would swear,
'And cry and cry when he wouldn't wake,
She'd shake the box and shut the lid,
And punch and punch till the cart would shake.'
Come morning, she'd walk to the sea,
And wash the wounds on her hand,
The coffin behind her, on the cart, lay
Still deathly still on the golden sand.
She'd spend that day at the beach,
And laugh and laugh from morn till eve,
She'll talk aloud to her coffin'd lover,
Whose silence she refused to believe
Then one night the lover awoke,
The townsfolk rang the bell of doom,
Pitchforks up and lanterns alight,
They rushed to where sea met the moon.
The two stood together, face to face,
Under the starry sky of a moonless night,
Just a lover's span separating them,
And nothing but each other in their sight.
The tears that tumbled down her face,
Mirrored the anguish he held in his eyes,
A million moments passed 'tween the two,
In the second it took for the sea to rise
Some say the sea swallowed them both,
For sin of breaking the laws of living;
Others believe they walked into the waves
As it was her home, her lover its king
And thus till date, a wooden coffin,
Lays abandoned on that nameless shore,
It's wood unbroken and unweathered,
The only witness of that unsung lore...
