Crossing rivers

Say a prayer for a poet
whose heart turned cold
once she kissed with warmth
now she'll leave a frostbite on your soul

Say a prayer for a poet
Once she loved with a fire that scared demons out of hell
Now, she has frozen hearts in the chapters of her life

To sit next to you, oh my love, my all! I feel like a child
So am here asking myself - 'Do I have what it takes?'
Tell me my darling...
Will you take me broken?

Say a prayer for this poet

If I die today

When weird words come to you and you can only pray that it doesn't happen soon!!!

If I die today, shed no tear in grief
But find strength in the words of my poems
There,
There I will be waiting for you

If I die today, shed no tear in grief
But smile that the world gave me a chance to share memories with you
And I will miss your hugs, but find me in the warmth of your heart
There,
There I will be waiting for you

If I die today, Let me go to the forces that call on me
Wherever my body may go to rest, my spirit remains with you
Remember never to forget that I loved you with the power of the sun
And even death as scary as she sounds cannot stop this love

If I die today, I will be your rainbow
Flashing in the sky once in a while
And for those days that you will miss me terrible
Find me in the words of my poems
There,
There my love, I will always live
In the warmth of your heart
I promise you I will be
