Come to take me away
Into the distant land
Of unreal eyes
Where I can learn to look,
And not just see.

The setting Sun
The setting Sun Come to take me away
Into the distant land
Of unreal eyes
Where I can learn to look,
And not just see.
I will keep the fire glowing.
The sun will set
With a glow,
We will celebrate
A day of togetherness
Before we depart.
It is not customary
To lose your soul
In a jingle of lies.
I can dance
To the joy of ceremony.
I will keep up the beats.
I was just roaming
And I learned from you
That love is not literal
For the smile,
But figurative for the fights.
We learn by quarrels
In love and by mistakes
In life.
Put on your attire,
The setting sun is your bindi.
***
Those Memories
I take a walk,
It is me
Who appreciates
My steps
Instead of counting them.
I feel blessed
To keep up
The sky,
To not judge the clouds
For being too low.
I ring your heart
Like a telephone.
We walk away
Leaving behind
A lot of space
Like memories.
The air feels heavy
I send my kisses
Like Poet Pablo Neruda,
In the poem here I Love You,
Those memories
Wash my boat.
