Waiting for him is my only way to hold on

Sitting outside his door, heart racing for it to open.  

This feeling, ineffable to others, is mine alone to bear.  

When his lips move, my soul finds peace

And I smile like a fool, unaware the seeds of betrayal are taking root.  

My laughter echoes, strange and wild

Stirring hidden things in the dark.  

The silence creeps in, always u...

Like the first mirror reflects whats before it
I live in the past 
Anchored by my commitments
I failed to take that class

The angle of time constricts at a point
Silent in its steps despite how vast
Ranging millenia little by little 
The promise is a lie you can not outlast 

Through the scope I inspect my thought 
Regret is not the word because I have made peace
Feel the grip of anxi...

the sun cannot shine

when evening comes

and you are a sun 

in the middle of darkness.

no eye can see your sign

once darkness falls

and your sign is invisible

your soul also does not matter

in this big bad world.

as  silence gets stronger

your words are to drown

deep down in others' yellings.

no need to have any more sayings

about it -- it is pure evil and inj...

Dear diary,

Is Father coming today?

It's been a while.

Who will tell him that I got paid.

The days drift by, 

And still, I wait

In this quiet mystery.

When the rain ceases,  

And dusk creeps in quietly,  

When the west glows with proud orange,  

Then I'll know—  

It's time to go home.  

I'll gather the flock and the herd,  

Wade through the evening dust,  

And down the hill I'll go,  

With a heart easy to please,  

A foolish smile on my face,  

To a cabin at the edge of town,  

Where my soul resides.

A bony child, a sick child 

Wades through muddy water, stumbles over battered roads

A quiet child, a trodden child

Eats with hunger, with greediness 

A shy child, a violent child

Runs after street vendors and dogs, cons the benevolent 

A street, a war, a game to play.

A bony child, a sick child is her-

Me.

A traumatized child, a ragged child

Stomping around hospi...

It's duly noted that

An anomaly in life is met with

Strength, character...

And even marksmanship?

Is it wrong if I go to the shamans?

If knees are scraped, often from temple visits?

If I dine with monks, for a percentage of hope?

If a spark of my dignity is diminished, after

Crying to falling skies?

Soaking in their bitterness, God's valor ?

God's favor I hope?

Is ...

Wherever the wind may lead,

That's where I'll follow, free.

To embrace the wild trees,

And hear the frogs' soft croak,

Becoming an explorer at heart.

Through meadows wide and rivers deep,

Where the sun and shadows softly meet,

I'll chase the dawn and greet the night,

With stars above as guiding light.

No map, no path, just endless skies,

A world unknown befo...

“A Farewell to Youth” is a heartfelt and introspective poem inspired by one of Sir Walter Raleigh’s poems. Drawing on themes of lost time, fleeting joys, and the inevitable passage of life, the poem reflects on the sorrow that follows the end of youthful days. Like Raleigh’s original work, it meditates on the melancholy that remains as the seasons of life change, leaving only memories behind. Thro...

A battle of loneliness, trapped in isolation

Heart shudders in fear, bowing to the cold.

The old year passes, fading into the new

Misgivings, demons, decay taking hold.

Eating disorders, bony hands

A forceful wind knocks breath from the land

On lazy winter afternoons...

Sweep, sweep away

Bow in prayer inside a four walled city.

Cries and shouts, desperation calls

I walk among the shadows,

Shadows of lies, secrets, and ignorance.

Shoulder to shoulder, walking with strangers,

Faceless people staring through each other.

Somebody taps me,

Somebody calls my name—

But the voice is lost in the haze.

The real me is fading,

Melting into the vale,

A silhouette in the crowd,

Dissolving like mist at dawn.

I reach out, but the hand...
