Soul

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!

Text

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.

Midnight sprint

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

Hike

there are many peaks to attack
but only one set of feet to hike

studiously climbing haphazardous mountains
you would think that it would be only a day
yet the peaks are ever further away

brooding crows perched in tree branches
quick sand giving away the ground
one too many are the hostilities here

carry lightly and stay awake
bears and snakes are nearby and home is a far way to go.
