~Rain~

“If you light a lamp

for someone else,

It will also brighten your path

-Nichiren Daishpni

rain

magnifies

my

windows

and falls

crushed velvet

tingling

into nothing

eyes

that hide

a secret

by the way,

I forgot to mention

that your smile

is like moonlight

on a

dark

sky

keep smiling

lulluby

soft

touches

comfort me

I know were

only halfway

there

but you can

take me all the way

I don’t know where to stay

I’m just a little lost

but you

open my eyes

I know what that means now

to want

to give all my secrets

away

to sacrifice

the lit path

I had to find

shooting stars

on my skin

leaving me

with enough stardust

for life

come out from

the masquerade

call my name

look into my eyes

it’s where my demons hide

hey, pretty smile

love is easily

misunderstood

I agree

with you

like the color

of water

two sides

of the same

but still different

coins
