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

when the heart aches,
and it’s raining all over,
bright day’s long way to go,
smile.
smile, not only out of spite,
but from a goodwill too
it won’t last forever,
but nor will this pain be too.

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.

like handling a crown made of snow flakes,
like catching a zooming dragonfly,
I dance with a tempo
one step slow, one step fast
parrying one side and lunge at the other
it’s a delicate fight,
a negotiated silent dance
we’ll parry all night.

across a blindingly white field of snow
I set out to march through them slow
yet steady, heaving waves and rows
of snow, making a way to meet somehow
again
breath is rugged out of cold,
arms and legs are about to give out,
but my mind is clear as the glaring sun
beaming through all paving the way
10.12.2021
a cosmos dwells in your eyes,
an infinite possibilities of dreams,
a window to a clear Antarctic sky
staring at deeply hidden hymns.
like Venus on a winter sky at dawn,
like pious fireflies in forest at dusk,
the light that lies in your eyes
enamores my silence by surprise

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.
