come, stay and let's talk. it's a good day to be alive
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.

if I could stop the time I would’ve.
but my heart would still beat forward
enveloping the moment ever so reverberating
cherishing every grain of seconds this allows
for me to be present next to you.
the sun seems brighter than usual
perhaps those eyes that embodies the world
make this one a bit more brighter.

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?

when you feel shades of life
slipping into roots of your spine
bringing slow, murky weight to your eyes
covering labels of black and white
when you feel the internal clock needle
pushing you to make a choice a little
too fast for your own good
drink a warm bowl of white clam chowder
a soulful companion, an unconditional lover,
your pupils will open to what was unknown
flooding your nerves with blessings enthrone
yes, it takes a white clam chowder to experience it. now go on!

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.

in the desert, all you can hope is
that tomorrow, things will be different
but sizzling hot sand dunes,
dryness in air is constant
reminder of misery of this journey
but at night, when the darkness
arrived in its cold carpet,
and the only thing that shines
is the moon and the stars in sky,
it’ll remind you of warm blood in 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.

it ain’t over till it’s over
back’s against the wall,
clock’s running towards the end,
yet it ain’t over, innit?
life is suddenly so tangible
sticky in my hands,
against the iron sky it cries
waking up again into the fray
it ain’t over till it’s over
10.4.2021
this battle is a blessing in disguise
bones harden, knuckles ruffles
skin toughens, memory strengthens
scars transforms into a medal
honor often turn stale
once again into the fray
let’s roll the dice again
10.1.2021
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
