this thin air is too painful to bear
ticking of a wall clock
thickening of Merlot
all await for an inevitable Big Bang
but we must talk the talk
and walk the walk.

Inspiration
Don’t let this night fall asleep
won’t you stay up and see
the glorious wonder we’ll reap
for time is ripe in glee
for tomorrow will be born again
with a newborn’s naive memory
let us rejoice this night a little longer
for all to see, for all the hope to fill.

Slow
loneliness disintegrates the memory
fragmented, slowly sinks into abyss
wandering in confusion, looking for answers,
attracted to distractions like fireflies
one moves on from isolation.

Waking Up
who would’ve known you’d be glad
to go through excruciating ordeal
hustling in filth and blood
who would’ve known you’d be happy
to see Truth with bare eyes glistening
with tears of pain and joy

Need for Speed
without speed, are you alive?
without change, are you alive?
ingrained in our DNA is this memento
cravin’ for a swift shift to staccato
dance between roots of your nerve
and brutes of your world
surely must serve you well

Questions in Slumber
where is the beginning and where is the end?
what does it mean to be healthy & normal?
when is the time to stop waiting?
how is a survival different from living?
who is to decide what is right and wrong?
why are we not talking now?

Pace
when is this lull going to end?
it’s as if it’s a great secret
when things will pick up to a
pace when we used to race.

Cut
is time an incessant thing like Mobeus’s ribbon?
are we taking for granted how straight of a timeline we live on?
what reward should wait behind the door, no one knows yet. until we reach the destination.

Count
count your blessings
for you will only experience
a new memory by tomorrow
who knows what the new memory
shall bring.

Swing
When I opened my eyes, I smiled
because the sun light reminded me
of the morning we bathed together
in the warm streams of sunrise
When I breathed fresh air, I smiled
because the atmosphere is as true
as it had been when I struggled
with bone-numbing loneliness
When I took a walk outside, I smiled
for I was free to roam, not bound by
morphed cage I imagined myself
to be tethered to.
I supposed I smiled quite often.
