wishing upon the star,
I yearn for soft touch
from one soul to another
dreaming of adventure
should we get there somehow
it’ll be worthwhile for showdown

Thank you
when I woke up,
I felt an ocean breeze
and thought of the thin lips of yours
that slightly curved up as you smiled
brushing dark hair over ears with a curled hand
It made me happy to wake up.
It made me hope for another day.

Why?
I thought your message was clear
like an echo bouncing from mountains
when I shout a call for a meeting;
empty, and no chance of ever seeing again
so it’s an unexpected surprise,
when there is a blazing trail of messages
laid out to read, but these are illegible
please, give me something, something clear
I’ve been shouting all this time
now my voice is harsh and heart is vulnerable
please show the sign to this eyes,
and I’ll make your time worth it.

Congratulations
if what I have read between lines is correct
I think you are in a happier place
I do enjoy basking in the warm glow
as you brighten up with joy
I do sincerely wish for your well-being
You
I am thinking about you
you were always there
in times of hardship
in times of peace
no matter what others say
no matter what you had to go through
hang on with me just a little longer
we are pushing ahead for another run
it won’t be the last,
and no guarantee we’ll come back
but at least we are in this together.
one more time, into the fray, we go.

Rise
this isn’t the time to fall asleep
this isn’t a time for a self-pity
it’s time to see the world as it is
and act on what you can change
prepare for what may be hard to change
it’s a trick of the mind you need to see through
when you walk through dark tunnel
under the weight of an ocean
I wish you a safe journey.

The sun
It’s hard to describe:
it’s too bright to see
but I feel it is warm
I sense softeness in it
I also see its scorching heat
beyond words, beyond what can be seen
I believe.
it is there.
And I walk into the darkness
with the faith in my heart
and hope it will guide me the way.
it is a leap of faith.

Resting butterfly
A butterfly sat on a table across from me
I stared at it; it back at me
for a moment, we sat still; just staring.
I stared at it so intently that
I felt like I could feel shivers in its wings.
then it flew; and what I could describe as levity,
I felt. As the world whirled and bobbed,
I could find joy in my heart.
then it flew and flew, far enough
where my mere physical sight could not reach
and when I knew it was gone
I made a song
to commemorate our encounter.

Infusion
in every move I make
I hope it inspires positivity
I wish there to be productivity
I yearn for more love
and I dream for happier times.
yes, it may sound naive
but watch and see
what the future beholds

Troubled gnome
is life a waltz
or is it a blitz
still trying to get to the promise land, are you?
look around and tell me what you see:
wouldn’t you say it’s pretty close?
I wonder where you’d be happy
where you’ll be at peace.
