Trieste

a boat goes ashore
i saw it, drinking coffee
how sweet is this town

Broken Voodoo

it's now just a puppet
with no heart
or a pin stuck to it

i lost my voodoo
on you

To Loneliness, To Drowning

i didn't know how it would hurt;
the pouring dusts of untold pains
that you secretly sprinkled on me.
but it burned, burned, burned me to my soul.
like loneliness seeping through the dirt on your grave.

won't you care i'm hurting?
would you notice i'm gasping for air?
to the ground i fall, shattering apart
and you're pinning me down, down, down,
down to the mausoleum beneath the waves

i'm drowning away to a land underwaters
where everything is nothing and they're insidious
to the dry i say goodbye, i'm too lost to reach back home
and for a fact i cried, i cried, and i cried,
for being lonely once again, once more.

For You

how i love you is odd.
like an African long for the rain but
fear a two day pour… and secretly he adores
the sweet scent of wet soil after.
like the Kuiper Belt – on the outside, but
with Pluto it grazes the galaxy… it needs a closer look
to comprehend.
how i love you is strange – as alien as what we call
faith: believing something
that is hard to, let alone can be seen,
but nothing proves otherwise so we stand proud.
also is strange, hearing Satie’s Gymnopedie in our heads, while
chasing monsters with butterfly nets in slow motion –
an esoteric thing, enjoyed by
those who anxiously wait to travel
in the speed of light, they have stars to reach
like you; something to fawn upon.
nothing lasts, it comes and goes. but
in a way everything does last, like
how i love you;
a law of Anicca: Impermanence. a bridge
between Dukkha and Anatta. nothing lasts
because they rise and cease to
rise and cease again.
like an Ouroboros. an unstoppable circle.
nothing lasts. but nothing dies.

essentially,
that is
how i love you.

We Are Omnipresent, We Are Free

it is at night we are awake
and during slumbers our souls wander
dreams become what is real
we live without our eyes wide open

it is at night we gather around
holding hands, embracing our souls
during sleeps we dream of our lives
in golden slumbers we plan our tomorrows

some claimed to have faced and seen
winged beauty of angels and of seraphs 
but while dreaming, we see each other, 
and seeing each other is enough

loafers perhaps are we
but if so, we did it perfectly
we paint the walls with insobriety 
we are omnipresent, we are free

we all dream our days at night
while the moon shine through the shrouding clouds
we sit by the lake, we ponder and state proud
'here we are! here we stand well and alive!'

we lay on our backs on the ground
look up to the sky and enjoy the setting sun
but this is a dream, it's cunning and mean
sunsets are dawn, and with dawn reality begin

at night we are a nation
of youth, pride, and compassion.
we laugh joyously with our hearts
through the dark silent night we meditate loud

but we learn laughters are frail
they fade as the sun shines its ray
soon it is 'so long', and 'goodbye', 
to love, to memories, and to the good times we shared

Last Kiss Goodbye

oh hi,
i didn't see you there
then again i've never had you here
you went unseen somewhere

i caught a glimpse of you once
but i blocked the memory so it bounced
behind the enemy line i stood
sorry to say but i was fighting my dear old you

so when did you get here?
i thought you'd be nowhere near
so naturally i'm wrong again this time
you've crept your way all through my mind

it's not that i don't like you
i do, in fact, i really love you
but in a way i sincerely don't, clearly
because i always always end up teary

hush, not a word, i say
let this be my time to lay
to lean my head and close my eyes
to walk away and say goodbyes

so let this be a final closure
lets drift our ways apart, together
and yes, i will pine for you
but only because i wanted to

i will miss you the most
but you should be nothing but a ghost
here's my last kiss of adieu
keep it in your heart, forget you had it in you.

Insomniac

silence had me stiff
and i waited for
the sun to rise well
laying thoughts upon thoughts
resting hope upon hope

the clock points the hour
and the hour after that
and one more, but
pointless is this night
my eyes won't shut

tiresome, but
my eyes won't shut
and already comes
along with the dew;
a plan of staying awake for the moon

Forever

you wish we can fly
and i tipped on my toes
but we see it's a lie
we don't know how to float

alas you and i
forget how to try
flap, flap, flap our wings
but pulled down by this abyss

sing a sad love lullaby
as we drop into this hole
our fingers intertwined
now we'll never let go

Chicago

carriages run through your magnificent mile
a reflecting bean - a spaceship in your town
wonderfully strange, blue-faced men making music
your wind blows, shikaakwa, let me love you divine.

Calling Out For Help

incase you didn't know
i like being needed.
won't you help me?
pretend you need me.
