So Ordinary

So Ordinary

I am so ordinary; you don't  have to look up
And smile: not I the cynosure of all eyes.
Words I can write, but not speak
There are a million stars in the skies.

I am so ordinary, so very ordinary.
You won't even believe I could be me.
I live and give, even forgive.
I guess that's just me.

I do  not have special talents , none.
I am just a very ordinary entity
I wished I was the pink cloud in the sky
Just to be me.

I am the lost, lonely one.
I think and then I become.
Just for now I warm myself
In the heat of the golden sun.

I Hear Your Voice

I Hear Your Voice

I hear your voice, despite absence and distance; Amongst clear skies, cloudy days, dark nights. I wake up from fogged dreams: And even then it seems As if you are standing there. I have a secret known to none. I can listen to silence and the silence Speaks in a languages only I know. I can hear it's words distinctly; Decipher what it is saying to me now. Often  in the silence, I can hear your voice Clearly, as when you walked by my side: Ah, how lonely is the yearning heart How fatigued the soul when it is tired. Copyright: Rani Turton
