El Dorado

I looked around and not a single silhouette was there
The desert was extremely quiet
Just as I was about to lose hope
There she was
Standing as if the world was her stage
She lent me a hand
I stood up, my eyes still fixed on her smile
It was difficult to believe that she was a human
Her smile was eternal, godly
And as my eyes turned around
In a flash, she was gone
Forever
I wonder who she was
I wonder why she appeared there
I wonder, why me
And I didn't even realize that the sand dunes were far away
I was out of the desert
I could see a foot trail but I don't remember walking the distance
I wasn't even tired
Confused, I turned again
And there it was, the one thing I was searching for
I walked inside this huge archway
The entrance to the city
The city of pure gold
Or the other name that you've heard
El Dorado
The beautiful city, sparkling
As the sunlight reflected from the surface of the statues
My eyes couldn't believe what they saw
And I cannot imagine how satellites or airplanes can miss this particular effigy
The largest one of the city, several hundred feet tall
It was the deity, I met in that peaceful desert
I never believed in miracles
But this one was hard to explain
I know you've heard of this place
It's El Dorado, and I've found her, again!

They Say You Don't Love Me

They say you don’t love me Because we don’t sit together They say you don’t love me Because we don’t talk to each other They say you don’t love me Because unlike others, we haven’t made it public They say you don’t love me Because you talk to other guys more than me They say you don’t love me Because you don’t look at me They say you don’t love me I don’t think you love me either I think you love the way we are Because I know we don’t sit together as you feel awkward Because I know we don’t talk to each other as you really need to study Because I know unlike others, we don’t need the world to know everything Because I know that whoever you talk to, in the end, you love me Because I know with tilted eyes your eyes always look out for one face in the classroom They say you don’t love me anymore And I always tell them I don’t care Because I know they’re not right Because I know that whatever happens, we will be here for each other always And ...

There is a theory That when you die your whole life flashes right before your eyes I don't really understand how something so long can be flashed in mere seconds But it's not the life you think you lived  In your final moments what you see are people The people who cared It doesn't matter if you've ever met them or not I don't know if it was the last time I saw her But it was someone I felt connected to I've never met her I've never seen her But tell me to describe the face, and I can write poetry on it She was not like everyone else And when I was there lying on the ground Her eyes were stuck on me Not in sympathetic or romantic way Neutral Just lying there, looking at me And in that moment I felt a strange connection  A connection that you feel with the people you love And those silver locks of hair Like she was blessed by the thunder god himself That lock went from ...
