come, stay and let's talk. it's a good day to be alive
at one point, I forgot how fast I was running
time flew by, I just work my legs to fly
I opened my eye, realized I stopped breathing
with ease, just gasps at a time
flash of memories, bright light in the sky
warm shine from the sun, it could’ve been fun
just waiting, yes the waiting, for days to come
there will be smile, there will be warmth, there will be hope.

unlike movies, unlike novels, unlike commercials,
there aren’t time for silence.
each second testifies against (for) your existence
so I say, take that extra step to go a distance
do not be afraid to be naked
to your own conscious, not others’
for love, for hope, for courage, for faith,
take that extra step towards your goal

as if core of sun enveloped into my chest,
like warmth after slurping on a hot miso soup
heat radiates from my heart chambers
seeing your letters.
it’s one of the reasons why I keep together
after getting marked with scars after scars
by the nature, and by fellow humans.
to keep warmth going, to meet at our rendez-vous. thank you for giving me something to hold onto.

did you know
that when you broke your silence
light seems to flow with honey
air seems lighter than gravity
and quietly the world started blossom
did you know
that beneath colorful harlequin
lies a grim guardian
to a child, ever fearful
of love.
did you know?

I wrote a text on my phone in my bedroom
I then walked out, climbed up stairs to the roof
and threw my phone as far as I can muster
hoping it will reach my designated audience
perhaps it took couple seconds. ah no.
actually couple hours, maybe couple days
till something hit me on my head (blind spot)
with the same phone but different message
something seem to ooze out
not from my head, but from my gut.
it’s a intoxicating feeling, heart’s pumping
but it ain’t all too bad. maybe a bit better than that.
I wrote a text on my phone,
walked up to the roof,
and threw my phone as hard as I can muster
hoping it reaches the person.

I am speechless
out of exhaustion.
Squeezed every morsel of energy in my cell
distilled into this journey
mixed in question marks and shadows.
sometimes I fear it’s not what I imagined
when I bring it out of the oven
glazed at thousands of degrees of heat
but now is the only change
now is the only hope,
now is the testimony of past.
now, I just hope it comes out intact.
now, I just hope for its best.
now, I just hope for its safety.

yes, my emotions is like color black,
worn off of cool blue, dreamy green,
energetic orange, outrageous red,
it bears the color black like wounds.
there are blind spots to color black
I forget some people don’t have black
when I touch them, it sizzles like
a white A4 paper touching leaflets of
stove fire
yes, it’s a self-pity
yes, I need to get over it already
yes, though I do apologize to you.

here you are again,
alone in this dark world
gazing up at those star dust
waiting the end to come.
from dust to dust
from the start, it’s been a good rush
some say candlelit’s brightest at the end
so this is the time to live.
from dust to dust we go
hey-ho, here we 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.

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.
