IMPACT

IMPACT

You hit me hard, in the gentlest of ways.
Your vibe was warm, and begged me to stay.
I don't know how I drifted so far away,
Your embrace kept calling, still my mind lead me astray.

Infatuation had become the only type of love I knew.
I never thought I could leave such an impact on someone like you.

Wrapped up in my own emotions, I never even thought to ask you how you felt.
...And when I finally did, your response took me aback.
I was shocked, to say the least, to find out the extent to which you were changed by my presence in your life.
I am honored,
and humbled,
and realizing now my ability to impact those around me, the same way they've so effortlessly impacted me.

"I am really glad I met you" he said to me, completely unaware of how lost I might have been if I had never met him.

WanderLust

WANDERLUST

I see the stars in the sky
And their shadows falling in the sea
Moving from one place to other
Feeling the thirst gazing mother earth
Thousands before me, more will follow

Footsteps in the burning sand
I'm neither the last nor the first
Caught in a dreamy wanderlust

Seeing the hills across the path
Don't know how long it will last
Breeze cold waving my hair
Demons sleeping in their lair

The land sprinkled like gold
Bodies so young souls so old
Hearing more for knowledge you thirst
Carrying on with wanderlust
Dreams don't die, they just fade
Hoes change from purple to red
I'm neither the last nor the first
Wading through the wanderlust...
