either find yourself as a fool,
riding a rollercoaster
mixed with revelations and disappointments,
or get enough sleep.
it will go a long way,
pave the way for new possibilities.
good luck.

Sleep
I need sleep
yet the dream
keeps me awake.
yet I know:
keep your head cool
as your heart heats up

Sleep
sleep early.
it turns out
not only a whole day
can be ruined
with a foggy mind,
but your relationships
may also be in a dire place.
tend to your mind and body
and honor those
who show grace to you.

Sleep
I snorted a dust of ground coffee
accidentally as I made cold brew coffee
it was already close to my bed time,
but it was too late at the time
I went to bed, lied awake for eternity
work up, felt like my head was empty
hopefully today a luck will follow,
we will see what it will be tomorrow.

Sleep
there’s only so many hours you can stay awake
sooner we fall, better are the results
like holding onto the snowball,
longer you hold on, less happy you’ll be
let it go, as they say
and you will see your dream unfold
flapping its wings like a golden crane
when the morning glory arrives
let your souls be ready to welcome it
so let it go for now.

Material
perhaps before you contemplate
the meaning of all living beings,
you might want to buy yourself a good meal.
a $10 meal will reveal to you much more
than 10 hours of futile pensive debate
sometimes, it’s the little things that matters
sometimes, you need to stop, eat, and sleep
to realize how beautiful the world is.
see you tomorrow.

Nighty Night
a day is too short to enjoy it all
when the night falls
why do I need to go to bed
for the work will return again
let us enjoy this moment a little longer
for excitement is what we hunger

Honestly
if I said I had not thought about staying with you
I’d be lying
but I am here, standing against all the odds
away from you
leaving you in my memory
and walking away into the breaking dawn.
So, my dear twin size mattress,
know that I will be back
and be reunited with you tonight

Nap
onto soft-linen fabric of fluffy duvet
I laid my back and let it sink and float
under a shade blanketing my eyes from the sun,
I let my mind happily drift, as if to blink,
as if to indulge a sip of sweet drink,
then grass cutting buzz of my phone rings
calling me back to sober reality
and I just sit in my chair
gazing into a distance far from my desk
and wondered how sweet it was.

Sleep
when in doubt,
take a nap
with a good chance
nightmares will dissipate
clarity will find your way
and threads of your history
will fair better to be traced
