Feel like being alone today
Needed the loneliness and emptiness
Just moments to let sway
To feel broken… lifeless and soulless
I wanted the feeling of innocence
I wanted to be naive and incomplete
The knowing of what to do in absence
To feel vulnerable and weak
I needed a break from…
All that I know and all that I wish
I don’t want to feel belong
As well of anything embellish
I am tired of life
Weary of how it’s being sold
Never enough to just survive
And only do as told
Felt like being alone tonight
To break away from everything
I needed to run and hide
To just feel perhaps of nothing
……………
Song: Remember by Noh Hyung Woo
the gossip goes that the lad O'Shea
stands accused of mischief and horseplay
worse ~ caught righthanded at the town café
looking for a quick and easy payday
now he's laying low in some forsaken hideaway
waiting to make a swift getaway
trying his best to outrun judgment day
in his best friend's brand new Chevrolet

I look upon the angry ice
and men that prowl its form
to stab and poke in rich delight
a chance to ride the storm
With blades on fire and sticks held high
they weave and crash as one
in search of that elusive net
—still guarded and unwon
(Dreamsleep: October, 2021)
life of the turbulent storms, love subdued in strong separatist waves
there is always a breakaway stem
that makes your life more colorful
the abstract art inspires you to think differently
the many different parts influences you to try different points of transit
you want to run, but the authenticity pulls you back in
via the many sudden light bulbs dinging off in your head,
now you too are a breakaway stem yearning for many a new realm
Spear my heart with love
Let it beat; Let it clap
Open my eyes with the truth
Let it see; Let not be fooled
Glance at me once or twice
Behold and distinguish all spice
Perceive not the bad but nice
Quietly do becoming wise
Everyday there are changes
Find, explore all that enhances
Hurdle, succeed all ravages
Breakaway from all damages

Put the children out to play,
to walk in fields, to roll in hay
No concrete halls, no dues to pay
Just clouds to watch till end of day.
Use computer forever?
It's your choice
But I wouldn't drown
The inner voice!
Get away while you can
Or call yourself machine
Instead of human!
