From My Tower
I used to be moon eyed
When I first love
From my tower
I only see below
The chuckling squirrels
Smiling rabbits,
Playing deers,
The flight of birds
And in the sea I saw
Those tiny silver wavelets
Under the sunset
With our first kiss
Comes my first belief
That you and I will last forever
Trite as it may seem
Love is a play
We both enjoy
For we both win
So we run and run
Laugh and laugh
In all our paradise,
Our feeling freezes time
But reality is warm
The shards of ice
That trap us
Eventually fall
It made us free-
a painful liberation
White napkin of innocence
Is now stained with red
Bitterness of heart
Stroke too
Its dark hue
Then I was a jumping doe in glee
Never imagined
That love’s terrain
Have some cliffs too
And now I am a doe
A falling deer
I use to see
Those tiny silver wavelets
Under the sunset
But now I also see
The huge wild waves
Dashed with the storm
Even in the depth of midnight
I never heard
The chuckling squirrels
But the piercing bat's scream
I see no more the smiles of hares
But the grin of alligators
The grace of bird’s flight
Is overwhelmed
By the stalking cobra
Then I always see
The best in you
Now I also see
The beast in you
I will never see love
the way I perceive it before
Now I see
Love is a war
Fought between lovers.
