come, stay and let's talk. it's a good day to be alive
like the golden sunset laced in the air
there’s something I read from songs so fair
like a tsunami, flashes of memories arrived
reckoning long-forgotten feelings I’d archived
I stared into the deep blue ocean
and I dared to swim again into freedom

if I may,
I’ll let Spring air sing jazz songs,
let fluffy clouds lay down gentle shades
for the beauty who takes a long
nap in between joyous adventures.
It is my humble overture,
one I’ve decided upon a springtime,
one I may keep for a very long time.

sometimes, when I get nervous,
I open my window, and let the sunshine through,
filling the room with golden light,
the kind of boulangère warmth that
keep a soul alight
and when I get a chance,
yes, if I do please get the chance,
I would like to share this warmth with another soul
hoping to alight this world a little brighter, softer, cozier.

every step of the way into the spotlight
I fought with everything that I’ve got
yet now I realize what helped me get inside
was sweat and faith of all my family despite
my bigger-than-myself dream of life
so every step of the way into the spotlight
I thank each one of them for their plight
2.9.2022
everyday I wake up from my bed
I felt blessed, guess it’s best to express
thank all who helped me get past
last regrets, and test my inner strength
yes, everyone, thanks to your help
I am here with my best self.

if you could dance
how would you dance?
would you risk everything
and throw yourself to the floor?
would you take your time
and lean in to the earth’s pull?
would you hold onto someone
and sail together to the rhythm?
would you hop, bounce, spin, and tap
to the signals of the world acquiesced by all?
I wonder.
I wonder.

sometimes, sprinting like rock n’ roll
sometimes, bouncy like rhythmic beats
sometimes, smooth like créma bossa nova
we march on like flaming lions
scorching our path with our work
only to looking forward
letting others to witness our legacy

I took the first step
then, the next moment
I found myself in a tunnel
walking steadily in a puzzle.
calm, peaceful, azure air dawned overhead
like a sponge soaking in a summer bath
solemn solitude, dignified repose
slowly, and surely, the sun sets apropos
promising glistening dews of morning
talking a light walk into the darkness, humming
2.5.2022
you may ask, why volunteer to suffer
and yes, shoulders gets heavy and hot
but diamonds are born to be tougher
to face squarely into scorching fire and fight
for the moment to come,
the Big Bang of the most minuscule grain
in an instant, an incomprehensible one.
so I rise, through the mud, into the rain.
2.4.2022
as surely as I can remember
I am still running
as steadily as I can muster
my will to keep on going
yet it evades grasps of my memory
where I had been running towards
for whatever reason I tell myself a story
there’s a glorious end afterwards
so I wake up, to greet unforgiving sunshine
raising my body, once again looking for shift in paradigm
