come, stay and let's talk. it's a good day to be alive
when the words were spoken
glint of shining sun ray peered open
momentary blindness, I embraced
shaken, by its softness and grace,
I took a step out the door
soaking in the warm afternoon shore
though I may not see you in person
I know I will be with you in essence

hopefully this will be heard
the last of a thousand words
I’ll utter to persuade her
and one that will matter

blinded, though we may have been,
do we not admit
rumbling rush of our blood
rising sound of our heartbeat thud
as we answer to defend our honor
charging with full-metal armor?
what do you live for?
what does your heart beat for?
what are your principles for?
right now, live!
right here, fight!
right now, believe!

perhaps like a sky everyone can see
serene presence deep within your eye
stinky like age-old sock, it will be
remembering your deed hidden from a spy
but there is no spy
it’s only you and yourself
not the catcher in the rye
honesty is within reaching depth

once the word was spoken
there were myths and hymns frozen
in between time when truth was forgotten
the word slid through all revealing an ocean
perhaps a miracle,
perhaps a magic.
but all I can say is
it has happened.

slow down a little
rest your soul with mettle
one day the storm will settle
Spring with come with sunflower petals
glimpse down at what lies deeper
into the earth with stories so simple
Truth may not be so brittle nor sparkle
but oh so serene it is to the keeper

tobacco, I’ve vowed to quit you
perhaps you’re a seal I must keep
as long as I live, even then there is few
reason to believe, for a good night sleep
I will heave, these boulders of burden
weaving a tread of history of one human
1.12.2022
after dark night, if you haven’t drowned
in sadness, despair, and guilt,
keep your eyes, those eyes of a hound
doggedly hunting your target to full tilt
remember tonight, if you dare to fight
go full speed, without a flinch
give every shot with all your might
no regret, throw everything in one pitch
1.11.2022
thank you for your eternal light
your generous smile ever so bright
making hardships an ephemeral night
overpowered by sunshine full of delight
thank you for your trust
unwavering support that thrusts
me into the world and face challenges I must
overcome with patience and thus
repay you someday with humble
offering I can build to fulfill double
of what you’ve done for me
because, thanks to you, us, we
have each other to cherish
to support and love and replenish

media is my Achilles’s Hill
movies, series of television shows,
I seek them like moths drown to light that kills
but you feel alive when you watch it, you know
as time pass by, as your mind gets high
it gets muddied with maggots and flies
unable to discern truth from lies
it’s time to cleanse your eyes and rise
time’s too limited to be content with mirage
painful though it maybe, it’s time to be wise
