come, stay and let's talk. it's a good day to be alive
A summer night, as tree branches thread throughout the dark sky salted with stars,
The whole world swayed as the hammock weaves by thousands of threads swayed
Crimson ambers of cigarette quickly falling through the wholes, barely missing the threads,
Like an accident, falls into the wine glass,
Bursting with flame that cannot contain itself
I don’t care if it hurts
I wanna have control
So the song went, as the alcohol got thicker and hotter.

Wind blows, sky darkens, air weighs heavier, making rumbling sounds like an abdomen about to have terrible bouts of diarrhea
A man in a cave contemplates whether to venture outside or hunger inside
Will the rain soak my socks? Will I shiver with hunger? Will I be fatigued with bone-piercing cold?
A man in a cave realizes a bucket of honey he saved deep inside the cave two years ago
He immediately digs further inside the cave, pushing through even the walls shelling him from the rain and the elements.
Soaked in rain and shivering with freezing hands, he dug up the bucket, started sucking on the mellifluous globs.
Already forgotten all about the rain and the cold.

Hummingbird, what’s her sense of time?
If she can flutter her wings in a millisecond,
Can she feel each flap of her wings in the wind?
When a glorious, or tragic, moment approaches her,
How quickly can she feel it in the air?
Will she flee or grit through the dare?
Hummingbird, what’s her sense of time?
I wonder, if chance be that she’ll be around
To show a dash of a sunshine in her crown.

Staring into the room across the street from mine in the middle of the night was one of my habits for the past few weeks
Tonight, I realized that the room was empty. I could no longer see the person back of her head staring into her wide screen monitor as she consoled her loneliness throughout the night.
Tonight, I stared into the empty room lit with a warm yolk color light, beaming as if to welcome the lonely eyes that had become a regular to this space.
Staring into the room across the street from mine in the middle of the night, I wondered where the previous occupant will be staring into her blue monitor tonight.

Plunge into the legions of wave crashing forward.
There’s nothing to worry afterward.
Yes, a fate is to be gambled as always,
Yet that’s where the fun is at anyways.
Whisper of Death is always nigh,
Not a single wave will deny
Such delicious chance to swallow
A soul dancing such as a swallow.
Spare me your contemplation ’til my funeral
Ripe is the time; alight is my resolution;
Surfing through a narrow path, for the path is ephemeral
Ride through the legions in blitz like a blind man in indignation

Open your eyelids wide,
Don’t forget what is true and what is fake,
Baiting on your mind so fragile (yet you do not know)
Silent orcas looms underneath dark shadows of the blue ocean.
Stare up into the sky, ponder upon the nets of constellation,
True north is where you’re bound,
Open your eyes wide and stay vigilant.
The end will be already here.

Blind though I may be
I see the granular peak of the mountain
Forests of mountain tops waver around closing in.
Times are closing in. Now is the time to jump or cry
Run, or, stay with them.

T
Fists suspended in thick air,
Flags of grass in different shades fare,
Flaring sun ever sincerely brightens the world transparent
Flames of raging disparities glaringly prevalent
Fists held high in the air
Flint of spirits kneeling on a crosshair
Fight in silence will persevere.

Another tide will come, carrying the fate along with it as well.
We’ve fought the fights, we’ve endured the inévitables.
Longing for the land that seems like an illusion so far, where do we go from here now?
Hold on; you say. Yes, gravity seems heavier than usual.
Liberation? Yes, hopefully it shall come.

‘Life’s for a gambler,’ you say,
Gamble for what, though?
Vainglorious attention, lust, or obsession?
I’d say, for survival; for freedom; for life.
Focus. What’s happening now? Who’s been hit, robbed, or deceived? Why?
Think. What’s going to happen now? What are you going to do?
Execute. What’s time, before the deadline, till the weights drop dead? hold your ground.
Pray.
