I found in peace a rose, un-torn
Within a purple dreamer’s eyes
(Arrested by a single gaze)
I bathed deep in tranquil bliss
Will my eyes, one more gaze grace?
Or would it be like yesterday
(Forever buried by today)
Maybe aye, maybe nay
Only the purple dreamer knows.

How we hungrily yearn the beauty
Of exotic gargantuan rhetorics
To flush out entrapped feelings
To ears that need to hear it
But I know better than try so hard
To say simple things complicatedly
Like times I need to say “Thank You”
Or let you know “I love You”.
