come, stay and let's talk. it's a good day to be alive
Having peaked the apex,
Momentum froze midair,
Not sure what to do
Meanwhile time has gone by,
Unfinished business layering up like mushrooms,
A phlegmatic gait afoul of past pristine valor
Quietly, scrub the rusts off your tool,
Fume wind into seeds of flame
Grip your hammer tighter in your palm.
It is a time for a change.
Time to evolve.

I drew a circle on the sand, over
and over again, but did not find
what I need.
One day, a thunder stroke the tree
whose shadow I cherished so much
to read my books and calm my mind.
Under the ashes of the tree, I
found an amber slowly glowing in
crimson red.
I stroke it with a hammer clenched
in my hand, flame ignited and
engulfed my whole body
Hammering it over and over again,
I made a pair of glass wings to
glide through the atmosphere.

It’s a dance.
Crowded people chats over a cup of tea
Thick rimmed glasses staring at Apple laptops clicking their blinks away with coffee
Dreams, telltales, hopes, and victories flies around in the air, parrying in melody
In this friendly battlefield, a warm smile glanced over, beaming with courage,
An invitation, like a folded silk patiently waiting to be untied, flew in sweet aroma
Tickling it was, yet unnoticed.
Fizzling sunset calmed into a dusk, and then into darkness of silence and timelessness
In this darkness, we’ve met again. Passing by each other again.
Now I hope to see you again. In the eyes, and touch the fire that smelled so pleasant.

Is it a rage? Is it a passion? Is it a lust?
Drenching in salty sweat,
Bloodshot eyes gaze steady fast at their dreams,
Dreams of fulfillment, of validation
Craving for more, body leans forward, charging against the waves.
Will it be an illusion or will it be a be real deal?
The boy and girl inside each one of us must follow and survive.

Battery has long run out
Bones have become brittle,
Joints have worn out
Lungs are gasping for more air.
But fight goes on like a wildfire in
Your backyard, never letting
Your mind off of it, it consumes
Everyday a little bit of your mind.
Look into the soul of those fire.
Those battles hat we must fight
Raising flags and swords,
We dance together in this flame.
