Resolution

RalphLeave a comment

keep your head held high
even as your fellow men blame you
keep striking that red hot iron ore
of your dream and your ambition
even if it dissipates like a sandcastle
no matter how dearly you loved that woman
who turned you down like a squashed bug
believe that there will be one who see you as you are.
no matter how many woman reject you
believe that there will be the one who accepts your hand.
no matter how foolish your actions of the past were
forgive yourself and accept yourself
learn and rise. never forget to rise again.

Numb

RalphLeave a comment

feeling numb in a plastic bubble
staring out into the world
one pinched the wall
peeling away the shield

rushed in were emotions:
love, passion, and freedom;
city lights and the aurora;
magic filled the air
as one held reins to affair

but also came in fatigue and pain
from battles cries and sacrifices of attrition
beauties missed and promises broken
daggers in heart, tears in shadows
sweat soaked neck, dried blood on hand

but all in all,
one lived
and one died many times.
had one not jumped,
one would not have known.

Destiny

I am running towards you, my dear
through dry and clear
sky of Sahara desert,
through blizzards
of Northeastern

I am fighting, debating,
crying, running,
trying to get to you
as soon as possible

so please wait for me
I am coming for you
from the past to the future
against all of the odds

Flinch

RalphLeave a comment

we free falling from the skyscrapers
rushing towards the earth
we were on a suicide mission together
reaching for a virtuous goal

but when I looked back
and saw my innocent family
I flinched
I blinked
and that’s all it took to land safely

when I opened my eyes
you were gone
evaporated into the clouds
high above the sky

climbing up the hill
with the bare legs and arms
I cry for our dreams soak in rain
and rage on towards the top

grasping on to fleeting photos
crushing fragments of memories
flowing silky sand in an hourglass
rumbling sound in the far above sky

unquieted prayers of unmet goals
weight pushed onto each foot
gravity of time pulling skin and bones
fleeting worries hung in tree branches

we walk down the path
a narrow path open
in the middle of a wide park
one and only for you

Zero

just one more game,
I feel alive, unlike ever before
heck, even that Hemingway’s
been on his race horses

so let me have this rush, come on!
I deserve this, I survived today
let me have my game already!
let me live the life!

yet you realize
there’s a mountain load of work.
yup, go back to your cave
and start digging away your work
