Your attention

So, what all to catch your attention
To catch your attention in such a way
That you respond with a smile
Or you react with a question
May be at least a receipt of "noted"

To what end is your attention
To seize your attention is such a thing
Smile is a joy healing my soul
Question is a massage healing my psyche
Notice is a hope endorsing my life

But what magic is your attention
Unknown to your senses, I still exist
In the drought of those smiles, soul still survives
In absence of your queries, mind still mends
But it is the loss of hope that bleeds the heart

As it turns out, it's my attention that's caught
Caught by you and yours that is free
So, is it an attempt - at - revenge to grab your care
Or a show of spirit to salvage a win
Rocks that refuse to flow. Sea that refuses to hold

Take my pen away

Take my pen away

I long to write what I feel about you

I may also write what I assume myself

And you may like what I write

Yet, you should not know it in ink on paper

I should not use paper to vent

Take my pen away

I have inhibitions. I don’t need to preserve

What about shyness that you flaunt on my paper

And you may like what I write

Yet, you should know it only in abstract

I should hold things close to my chest

Take my pen away

For I have reflections begging to leave my body

You hold mirror catching every ray

And you may like what I write

Yet, you should not see my heart naked

I should guard our shared castle

Take my pen away

I fancy the sea to dance in my waves

While the veil of clouds adorns your moon

And you may like what I write

Yet, you should let the night hold sway

I should have my sea respect the beach
