come, stay and let's talk. it's a good day to be alive
I wanted to let the tears flow.
I bit the tip of my tongue with my teeth,
yet I did not cry.
then I remembered how unfair it was
that what I know now is unknown to my past
I stared at my youthful, naive self crumbling
as the inevitable lances fell from above
I spoke, out of pain, but no voice let out
instead, thick drops of tears fell down.

it’s silly to be serious,
but let’s get serious about being silly.
let us explore the world without prejudice
let us roll around and jump around
exploring the world as it is.
let us find happiness in our story
and rejoice in small delights
one by one, it will make the world brighter.

life is short, in retrospect.
everything changes too,
contrary to expectations & wishes.
as people and places ebbs and webs,
sensing when is the time to let go
and when is the time to get a grip
is a serene balance.
may there be a courage to move forward
with faith in heart
hopefully leading to a peaceful night.

not all things go your way.
accept the difference
respect the boundaries,
and understand their perspectives.
who knows,
one day it will work out.

be what you are
let the results fall
you’ve done all what could do
it’s nerve-wrecking
but in the name of love
what can we not do?
so be who you are
and may the world show you what it has

haha so much ideas, but such slow progress
pains me all over; must I endure this stress?
focus is the key, and the patience gives peace
a lofty thought, but I wonder
if love will solve all the problems conquered?
into the night and towards the morning
another dance until the curtain is falling

when I love,
I am ready to pay the price.
if I must,
I will withstand pummeling criticisms,
hold out a hunger,
and be a shield from judging eyes.
if I can,
I will stay as long as I can
until the pain resolves away.
I am ready to pay the price,
for when I am in love.

without the fear of losing,
without the doubts of our abilities
let us walk forward into the future promises
without enslavement to greed
we will bec okay.
believe in the inobservable.
it will rise to the occasion.

even when we are apart
I hope that you know
I think about you quite often.
each time
before the sun rise
before I close my eyes
perhaps there will be a day when we meet.
perhaps we’ll know for sure
what we want for ourselves.

warmth was shared
when it was expected the least
surprisingly, there’s softness
where only harsh words existed
what is it, that these people find
to bring forth such kindness?
it is a curious phenomenon
I hope to replicate
