☆ I heard that…  ☆

☆

I’ve heard people keep looking at

her with wide eyed-amazement

So let’s stay in her town for a

few days more and behold her…

*

I’ve heard the moon keeps seeing her

enviously through out the night

Stars too descend down from the

sky to  the earth to behold  her…

*

I’ve  heard  that she is extremely

fond  of listening to the poetry

So let’s also  show her the miracles     

of our excellent poetic skills…

*

I’ve heard that when she speaks,

flowers fall from her mouth

If this is the case then let’s talk

to her and see it for ourselves…

*

I’ve heard she’s very passionate

about the profound tragedies,

So let’s ruin ourselves totally

and be with her for some time…
