Two Poems

Been a poet since I was twelve... got the hype after the English teacher told us to write a haiku as part of written exercise.

Enjoy...

1.Musings~

You are not mine, I am not yours. 
I am perhaps yearning for something close to the real thing. 
What is it? Some call it love. 
And sometimes I'm thinking it's you... 
That true love has been standing in front of me for a while. 
Am I in love? I've asked myself. 
Do you love me? How do you feel?
Yet I cannot bear to ask you for real.
For when I think of it more, I realize that I cannot pay the price.
I cannot commit to someone who doesn't seem to understand the gravity of long-term relationships. 
So come, let's leave it in a drawer and forget it. 
Hide the proposal under lock and key. 
Yes, we are single.
Yes, we are free. 
No, I won't ever love you. 

2.The Winning Song

It's a glorious day of celebration
A festivity of friendships and fiery passion
My eyes saw the smiles, my ears heard the laughter
Though a song in my mind sounded so much beter
How time slow-danced as I met your gaze
Embracing my senses through the crowded haze
While everyone else melted away in applause
I saw only you in that moment's pause
Nothing mattered as you held me firmly
Nothing else but your smile, and you and me
Even my heart can never go wrong
Resounding your secret winning song

Don't mind the world as we sway to the sound
Don't mind the commotion of everyone around
All I know is I hear the song
As it tells me clearly we both belong
To the fortunate few who can really hear
To such blessed hearts wthout much fear
Go on and take your hero's stand
Go ahead and feel it, take her hand
All you know is you hear the song
And it tells you clearly you both belong
