Walter Dapliyan

Winter came too early
Deep in my heart today.
The autumn's chill gave way
To frost in just a day.
...

I'm at the edge of the ledge,
Somehow you never know.
My grievance in the balance,
Will you pull when I fall?
...

Each day I shall vow,
This code I avow;

To think before I do,
...

Our roads diverged not so long ago.
I recall that time I first laid eyes on you;
The promise of a better company,
To walk on this travel in one same way.
...

-
I got two left feet.
Yet I dance.
I dance alone in the dark.
...

So here I find myself
At the edge of sanity.
My limp, tortured soul
Is stripped of all vanity.
...

-
Wine glasses clinking, toasts abound,
People dancing, laughter all around.
Music blaring, the big room loud,
...

I see a flower so rare;
Of delicate beauty, I swear.
It hids amidst the tall grass,
Down the hill as I pass.
...

Sand in Hand..

Love, like grains of sand;
They sparkle in my hand.
...

City lights burn bright in the dark of night;
Footsteps echo the chilly wind.
I have walked the dead end of this road;
I am lonely and cold.
...

Fly, you dull beauty;
Dance around the fire.
Burn, you bright beauty;
Entice the moth closer.
...

A Dirge To Purge..

Here lies the lies we utter
In hearts' warm sepulcher.
...

Trust yourself to trust someone;
Trust someone to trust you.
And even when trust is doubted,
Even when it is broken,
...

How I fought to shout
At these whispers I dread!
O that they may come out
From this wretched head!
...

Come... Enter my secret garden;
Where the soft sun never sets,
And the trees are evergreen,
And the naughty moon peeps in the clouds,
...

Colors dancing in the eyes;
Give beauty to shapes and forms.
Cold, warm, coarse and fine;
Bring beauty to the feel and touch.
...

Nothing I possess
Can last forever.
Nothing except nothing.
Everything I own,
...

Dandelions... Soft as baby's breath;
Stay young and true underneath.
Dandelions... Let go, let go;
Let the wind carry you so.
...

Dearest child...
To look through your eyes;
Wonderingly curious.
To smile like you smile;
...

Listen up, all. Meet my best friend.
He tags along with me everywhere.
He feels how I feel, thinks how I think.
He knows my secrets yet keeps them.
...
