POEMS WITH RUKENNY

FOR SOMEONE SPECIAL

UNTITLED

You speak to me

In a thousand silent ways

Even though I can't fathom what you meant.

In my head, Your sweet nothings always replays

And its top on my heart's playlist.

Missing you comes in waves

But now it's drowning me.

My desire only craves

To have you beside me.

Because you're my envisaged dream!

Sometimes, I try to forget you

But your thoughts run anew.

And even in piercing pain,

Boom! You're on my mind again!

I just smile at how easy your thoughts kill my pain.

How else can I say I love you?

Do I sing it?

Do I reflect it in my dimpled smile?

Maybe in my lines and verses

But they just might never be enough

to express how I feel for you.
