Ways I Hate

By Dhruvanth U

Is hating you the way,

I remember to love myself more

Is hating the way,

Forgetting your true smile that melt this man,

Made of a thousand bitter pebbles

Hating the smile that cast away a thousand dark shadows that haunt my soul.

The smile that enchanted the soul of mine.

Words short to portray the ways I treasure you,

Kings, Queens, Duchesses and Earls

The smile, alike White Pearls.

Her heart of Golden Diamonds,

Her eyes that pull mine toward

Precious in my fantasy lands

She reigns, on the throne of my heart, Irreplaceable through time

Whilst reality reckons as thorns of Red Roses

These footprints don’t seem to fade,

The starshine dims, in front of our reflections, memorised by my teardrops

Despite the harsh Moon tides, gushing through the sands.
