come, stay and let's talk. it's a good day to be alive
do not ignore the sound of your heartbeat.
listening others is important too, yes,
but take time to silence the noise
and hone in on listening to your heart
do you hear it?
the orchestral music of your life
the colorful, rhythmic bounce
serendipitous, harmonious tunes
seize it. take it all in, and live it.
you deserve to hear this melody.
it will guide you the way to home
home that will always be within you.

like a small, quiet, and calm ember
that slowly burns, leaving a trace,
memory of her eyes grows steadily larger
like a drumbeat looming with large bass
in silence, I watch this fire grow in my heart
wondering how did it happen?
was it her all-black outfit in cafe so dark?
alighted, I stare into her dark silence
and I wake up to a realization so tangible:
you do not even know who you are;
how’d you know who she truly is?
there are so many burning questions
bubbling onto surface of my consciousness
Humbly, I hope for a chance with her more.
Although I may not get to truly know her,
I’d like to stay with her for as long
as I can, listening to her dreams and her songs
