come, stay and let's talk. it's a good day to be alive
I haven’t felt as alive as I am now
as long as I can remember;
an inception has taken place.
I want to be the best kind of a person
I want to be able to give everything I can
I want to be there whenever I can.
I can feel new warmth, new vibrant colors,
sweetness in the air, and softness of breeze.
what is this magnetic feeling?

haha so much ideas, but such slow progress
pains me all over; must I endure this stress?
focus is the key, and the patience gives peace
a lofty thought, but I wonder
if love will solve all the problems conquered?
into the night and towards the morning
another dance until the curtain is falling

threads of our insights
woven together
shine the night sky bright
wondrous moment, I wonder
silent serendipity of delight
the world of serene divinity, forever.

small awkward pause before glancing away.
a feigned cough, and clearing of throat.
a little shift to the side of the seat.
in a library, in a zoom meeting. in a gym,
there’s a paper cut for every encounter.
is it the smell? is it the look? is it the wording?
a thought chews on another thought.
I wondered what makes a good sound,
but then I realized it didn’t matter at all
if you lose your ground.

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.
