PICTURESQUE

         I was having trouble then, I mean, I really want to describe myself in one of my writings just so I could get more involved. You know every time I write about anything, I see to it that I am part of the story that there is a certain character which will represent me, I guess that's how many other writers out there (I'm not claiming that I'm one of those 'Writers' just a 'Wannabe') include themselves in their writings as well, and it's just how it works.

         So I decided to make my own version of Narcissus' story. Anyway, the descriptions were a bit exaggerated for the sake of art, I'm not that fair just pale, though I really have that snobby pair of eyes which often make a bad impression on me. And you can just read the rest of the story :)

Stuck in the middle of a deep forest

Lost in abstraction as my body shivers

I turned to the river that proudly sparkles

Never have I seen a thing that shines so bright

Even after the sun has died and buried its light

At that moment I was hypnotized

That I just found my feet bringing me for a closer sight

I never dare walk close to her when I was a child

But I am sure it is the time for me to look her in the eye

Some people say she looks ordinary

While others say she’s a beauty

So I took the last step and knelt down before her

Filling my lungs with fresh air just when I started to grow in fear

Pretty or not, now it’s time for me to know

Though it’s clear that she illuminates than the stars even more

It was real, she has the most pale skin that I’ve ever seen

That, I wanted to exclaim, but I swallowed them back coz’ her eyes look so stern

I forced a smile trying to tame the girl

And I was overjoyed to see her do the same

I was sure my heart did a cartwheel

When her lips gently parted and returned the smile that was heartfelt

Her cheeks were round as they turned bright red

And her eyes now dazzle as her lashes flatter

I swear, that moment, I was in ecstasy

In this whole town, the lasses must be in envy

How she managed to wear a façade so grim, I can never tell

What my heart will seal, is the genuine beauty that has been revealed
