I Wonder Why

You say you're a dark soul.
And they say eyes are a window to the soul.
Then I wonder why your eyes have the brightest sparkle...

You say you're a dark soul.
And they say only light can brighten you.
Then I wonder why meeting you is what brightens me.

You say you're a dark soul.
And they say dark souls can't be loved.
Then I wonder why being with you I exude love.

You say you're a dark soul.
And they say dark souls always remain strangers.
Then I wonder why it doesn't feel like I'm getting to know you.
It rather feels like I'm being reminded of someone I knew...at a different time...in a different place...in a different time frame...

To The One

To the one whose smile has no metaphor
And eyes have no lie,
To the one whose hair is like no simile
And voice as clear as sky, three words:
You are beautiful... 

To the one whose laugh is contagious
And charm, infectious
To the one who cares like a mother
And loves like a lover, four words:
You make Earth beautiful...

To the one whose aura bewitches me
And talks transcend me,
To the one who takes me to places no one else can
And understands things unsaid, five words:
You make me believe in magic...

That's six words. But logic takes a backseat because you must to be a dream...
