come, stay and let's talk. it's a good day to be alive
Thrown into a frying pan,
A seed of rice danced tip-toeing on hot iron.
Strange neighbors joined in
A long crooked red paprika laid lazily
Highlight green bok choy laughed hysterically
Sluggish egg yolk turned into cute shrubby flowers
Strange place is a world on top of a frying pan, strangers dancing together, racing towards the end that is both the mystery and the miracle.

Dance with your death,
For the end of your dance will come
Anyways, why not have some style?
Forgive your death,
When it steps on your foot,
Embodying torrents of pain
Respect your death,
For death makes your life precious,
Darkness that helps light stand out.
Till the end.

Flickering in darkness,
Fairy light dances in silence
Its swaying arms lighting around
Its nimble body, dodging invisibles.
Nibbling in the corner, a drag resides,
Brooding in shadow. Pulling
all the force towards it, it growls
Torrents of dark swirls, silently.
The dance still goes on.

To your eyes, it may not,
But it does exist here.
‘Where is the evidence?
Stop the lies, dreams, falsehoods’
You may say.
I have but my bones, flesh, and skin to offer to prove my hopes.
I believe.
I continue.
I live.

Burning into flames are our past,
Gazing into crimson gold sunset
Bitterness of darkness,
Soreness of coldness
All thrown into air, dancing with the wind, kaleidoscope of smiles and laughters blesses us with our memories,
We march on now.
With our hands tightly grasped together.

Skies are azure blue, wind is deep, In tree branches life hums, stirring Mysteries of future, an adventure Calming waiting for its time.
Yet an anchor needs to be retrieved, Apologies unsaid, fights unresolved Blessings and promises forgotten.
Justice stands timelessly, biding its Time, somewhere in these bookshelves, it anchors timelessly.

Pounding against concrete wall, each beat of a heart resonates
Wishes and prayers of lonely nights Through blistering cold wind,
Smothering heat strokes, It persists, hanging onto the wall.
Beating a drumroll for a dream sure to come.

Thighs became logs, fibers burning
Ceaselessly, thirst that won’t quench, lungs clenching for gasp of
Air, saliva dripping on the edge of lips, eyes tearing with gust of wind
While the world passes by at a lightening speed, not relenting nor forgiving, rushing into a pin point, ready to blast into a big bang.
Then the peace comes, obliterating everything. Ending the memory.

Opening the eyes, sunshine shone
A universe in front of the face.
Fumbled with legs, now a pebbled
Road laid ahead, beckoning a
Journey.
Birds of wit and swiftness blissfully
Sang, winds breezed sweet scent.
Fogs of the dark tumble had passed
Albeit scars remain, warmth is welcomed
Alas, we move on.

Like a droplet of dew
In a dusky dawn of a new day
Licks the cloudy fog off the window
Eyes of my mind drew a yawn
Tears squeezed off of dust particles
Washed away noise of the past.
I stand and stare at the growling sky
Clarity flowing courage in my eyes.
