The art of silence

When even a word means nothing,
When the drums stop beating,
When the chimes ceased ringing,
When the birds quit singing,
When the sun stops shining,
When the wind ceased blowing,
When the smile stopped beaming,
When the tears start running,
When the pain starts burning,
And the headache starts searing,
When the light starts dimming,
And the curtain starts closing,
When the body stops living,
And the heart starts existing,
When the day starts dragging,
and you find it hard breathing,
When the eyes start closing,
And the body starts chilling,
When nothing else in this world makes sense,
Then maybe I will master the art of silence.

Love
My heart beats at every mention of your name,My soul curls at the thought of the word,
Then it stops at the same.
I feel the joy the laughter and the pleasure,
Then I smile but before it can register,
I feel the uncertainty of not being sure.
I feel comforted in a few,
Because I become attached from then,
Because I believe that it is true,I rest myself in it's cocoon,
Then I almost fall into slumber,It awakens me too soon.
Love then tears my heart in two,
Takes away all it gave,
Then brings me back to being blue.
Yet I still search for it.

Perfection in my Eyes
All I ever wanted was to be part of your heart,
And for us to be together, to never be apart.
No one else in the world can even compare,
You're perfect and so is this love that we share.
We have so much more than I ever thought we would,
I love you more than I ever thought I could.
I promise to give you all I have to give,
I'll do anything for you as long as I live.
In your eyes I see our present, our future and past,
By the way you look at me I know we will last.
I hope that one day you'll come to realize,
How perfect you are when seen through my eyes.
