A Perfect Stranger

Folder: 
My Poetry

Wrapped in mystery and beauty of the unseen
The unnoticed shadow that I might have been

Knocked on your door but you were not there
Set your turf on fire with one single flare

 

Sent you a soul so simple and pure
So your eyes would glow full of light

You ignored that soul with magnificent allure
But did perceive the strength and might

 

There had been none of that for me in so long
That I had forgotten what it could feel like

Cursed dreams and one shattered old song
My flowers grew thorns that kill with every spike

 

And there you come along, a perfect stranger
With eyes that quenches the thirst of the sea

My strength starts collapsing while you flirt in danger
The flames I set ablaze is now firing back at me

 

Besieged by fire from every side and corner
You unmask me from my sweet disguise

“That blissful face…” u say, “so familiar
Those eyes that once lead me to my demise”
