like a small dark spot on face
you only see against a mirror
I tried not to remember
the trespasses of the past
yet I realized
they won’t pass
whether you like them or not.

Little
the moment you fear of losing in this,
you have already lost without a bliss
so why don’t you try a little craziness
we might reach the height in a kiss
reminisce not the days of youth
miss those days, then comes your death
risk this chance and you’ll go south
yes rise again, you know it’s close: the truth

Warp
sitting alone at a round table desk,
emails are answered, schedules are checked,
and apologies and promises are made
on a metal bodied laptop monitor.
business as usual, the only noise in the air
is one from left corner where two people
snickers at something uneavesdropped.
someone coughs, someone shakes their leg.
Tears dropped from yawning.
As if to brush aside the tears,
I scroll down my iPhone mini
to find a single red dot of a notification.
it was the long waited message.
long waited, it had become a hope,
a dream and a legend, and then
a disappointing reality eventually.
So: “oh.”
the moments we dream seem always wetter
than the arid reality we actually meet.

Shooting star
like magma, the star descends
I, standing still, embrace impact
will it crush my bone and core
will it lift me from my corporeal limit?
every second passes like a train
heavy, deadly, and speedy,
But face the challenge in the eye
that is the only way to go.

Round
unlike movies, unlike novels, unlike commercials,
there aren’t time for silence.
each second testifies against (for) your existence
so I say, take that extra step to go a distance
do not be afraid to be naked
to your own conscious, not others’
for love, for hope, for courage, for faith,
take that extra step towards your goal

One more chance
it ain’t over till it’s over
back’s against the wall,
clock’s running towards the end,
yet it ain’t over, innit?
life is suddenly so tangible
sticky in my hands,
against the iron sky it cries
waking up again into the fray
it ain’t over till it’s over

Candlelight
In the darkness so deep:
What felt like an eternity — wait perhaps it was a blink of an eye — at the end was the light — a Big Bang — of a world unfathomable, yet so familiar.
Should thousands of hours of preparation be traded for a millisecond of change so precious, I would jump into the lightening.
Stare squarely into the darkness. And pray that this will work.

Lost in Translation
I wandered too far off the edge of coral reefs
beneath my feet the world is a deep abyss
I stared into this dark hole for too long
intangible grip in my chest is now too strong
memories are imploding
gasping for more time
clutching at any opportunities

Now
Forget about the last last ten minutes,
for what matters is the next ten hours,
a decade, and half a century, who know.
sure, memory should hold an honor
but glow in the moment of now.

Emergency Lever
Remember, upon emergency please pull this emergency lever.
if the sky starts to look like the jaundiced skin after hit by a baseball hard,
please pull this emergency lever.
if you wake up one day and can’t one bit
‘cause dark shadows are pulling you into the earth,
please pull this emergency lever.
if you find yourself hurting others with a thousand blade from your tongue,
please pull this emergency lever.
remember, upon emergency, please pull this emergency lever.
