sometimes stars align
sometimes they miss each other
even though they dearly wanted to.
too bad when it does or doesn’t
we live with the consequences
no regret,
be strong.

Promise
we promised we will try.
here we go.
let’s see how it goes

Steady
slowly, a soft and sweet foam rolls
it’s mellow to touch and dreamlike.
but what I recall in my memories:
those dust-covered, strewn-about
messiness, chaotic mess, and lump
I wonder how long the sweetness,
the softness last.

Hidden
what’s hidden in your heart?
surely, you won’t see what me beneath mine.
years of suffering after naive decisions
hardened my heart so much
it won’t budge to your tricks.
still, it yearns for the day
when innocence was prevalent
where trust flowed.

Arrival
now is the time we must face each other.
there will be disappointments,
surprises, and agreeableness.
remember to live this moment
as fleeting as it may be
with your fullest focus.

Plan
Our minds shift so fast and diverse
reading a yesterday’s diary
is like gleaming at someone else’s mind.
all our thoughts, feelings, and wills
morph into something else.
let us write our plan,
let us start building our own future.
let us strive to take the leash of our fate,
let us finally live life as we hoped to live.

Guess
the guessing work can hurt you
expecting the worst can hurt you more
that what is actually threatening you.
but keep holding on to your faith
as you wait for the result
believe you will be rewarded.

Bite
make sure to take a bite
of a food you can nourish with
before others start to bite on you.
harsh words, smirks, and schemes
will take a toll on you.
good hearty meal
will go a long way
to protect your mind and heart.

Weather
it rained long at night
I could not fall asleep because
the sounds of the cars passing by
echoed like the waves by the river bank.
I cried
because I felt like a lost child
wandered too far from home.

Mirror
only too late we find out
how we act upon others
does not reflect who they are
but who we are.
before you realize,
all the treasures are swept away
and you are left with a photo
of yourself of how you treated them.
so be aware of how you treat others.
