Lovers and Leaves

Like two fresh leaves we are,
Peeping through the branches.
Too shy to stare too hard,
One waiting as one approaches.

The wind brings your scent to me,
Strong and clear in the forest.
We will soon break free,
And dance with the wind around us.

Like two green leaves we are,
Going where life blows us.
No matter if we wander far,
No wind separates us.

The rain, though it pours,
Is to our skins mere drizzle.
No season, wet or coarse,
Can ever bear to chisel.

Such is the beauty of our love,
That nature itself is awed.
We have no means of flower or dove
Yet our love is never flawed.

Like two brown leaves are we,
Wrinkled, yet floating along.
Our lives may be ending, but you see,
Our natural love will live long.

Once we are dead, the wind in the sky
Will rock us to sleep with a last lullaby.
The sun will warm our tomb of earth
And the rain will wash our pillows of dirt.

When we are one with the soil, we will then feed
With our strong love's nutrients, a little seed.
This little seed will grow and grow,
And very soon, time will show,

Our life-giving love's fruitful produce,
A strong tree, our strength is reused.
People will wonder at this tree,
And our love, on paper they'll see.

And so my love, no sonnets for you,
Only my heart, which is yours through and through.
We'll be like leaves, enjoying the ride,
Even if it's over, it's no rule we have to abide.

Our love will continue, on and on,
Through oak and fir and teak,
Our love will continue, on and on,
Though never a word do we speak.


I'm not lovestruck, i was just watching the rain in the trees yesterday morning, and got inspired. =)

I can't keep my eyes off of you.

Really really really busy. Liasing for cricket friendly, training for cricket tournament + admin issues for tournament, ICS Night practices and money matters, chem review test, KI independent study, violin exam concert, keeping up with school work, training for standing broad jump, writing letters, remembering birthdays. =)

Won't be here for a while.





The laughter on your face is the smile in my heart.
