come, stay and let's talk. it's a good day to be alive
that moment you know
you just gotta give it a shot?
when your heart is pumping
harder, faster than you can handle
blood rushing through your arteries
electrifying harmonious cacophony
going for it, going for it, going for it
and you go for it!
fibers of your muscles all over your body
bursting like booster rocket fire
rugged breath roaring unceasingly
at the end of the dark road,
you seat by your bike,
catching a respite in incognito

there are many peaks to attack
but only one set of feet to hike
studiously climbing haphazardous mountains
you would think that it would be only a day
yet the peaks are ever further away
brooding crows perched in tree branches
quick sand giving away the ground
one too many are the hostilities here
carry lightly and stay awake
bears and snakes are nearby and home is a far way to go.

I’ll be there for you
when the whole world
gets larger and heavier
you feel smaller and slower
I’ll be there for you
when the darkness pays a visit
seeping through the gaps of barriers
sending down the chills in the air
I’ll be there for you
because I like the way you smile
because I believe in your hidden warmth
because I really enjoy our time together.

By happenchance, I opened the book
hidden under layers of aged dusts
encrypted sceneries, mysteries, chivalry
revealed as if they had been here all along
chewing on twigs of wise revelry
eloquently and delicately stylished
perhaps the breeze I felt on dusky evening
was once a scent from the long past unended
cheers to you, my old friend.

it’s that something in her eyes
dark crystals washed with fjor,
something that cannot be muddied with words
only truth shall pass through those gates
I stared deeper into my own,
wondering if there is more than what I can make out of things. Something, that moves faster than I can detect, is read by her eyes. Hoping there’s a happy beginning from the days of testament, I take another step.

Did you realize
That you have been loved
When you thought you were utterly alone.
Memories of the past are rekindled,
Both the hurtful and joyful moments,
Brightening the dark path that lies ahead.
Yes, I have done wrong a few times,
Yes, I am still working on fixing them.
But I just want you to know
You were in my thoughts
Just as I was with you in the past.

Yes, those words flow sweetly,
Yes, there are smiles and laughters
Yes, these are happy nice timings
But something about those smiling lips
Something behind those gleeful eyes,
Something behind the splitting moments of pauses,
I glimpse at the real you — sitting in the dark corner, silently fishing for something
Silence — could be the antidote at times.

Awaken to the thundering roar of the sun so bright and glorious
Up on my feet, I hit the ground and keep running,
Looking only ahead, narrowing the tunnel vision,
Jump over the hoops, dodge distractions,
Wired into the muscle memory is to beat the game
Still, the thought of you lingers in my momentary thoughts,
Hoping to take a glimpse at you one day
Smiling once more under the bright glow of the sunset.
I’ll see you there
One day.

Persimmon rouge-orange lingered on the horizon to be fair,
Faint whisper of a sleepy jazz saxophone swam in the air,
Slowly, but surely, azure-blue dusk slid into the atmosphere,
Little bitsy tipsy in the evening lit the magic in there,
Curious, but yet daring, flicked tinders in the bagel eyes so clear.

Sunny sunlight glistened through the surface in refracted pieces as if through an azure stain glass
Ceaseless noises are muted, occasional crackles of the bubbles crisply whistles in the ears.
Embraced by the cosmic shifts, suspended in zero-gravity, the world is an abyss
Sometimes feet dig into shallow dune of snow-soft sands, dissipating into nothingness,
Sometimes sharp shells of clamps scratches the soft part of the feet
When you stay still, the ocean tells you a story. A soothing story told for thousands of years.
Try remembering that.
