Caffeine vapor
Caffeine vapor billows
blowing with the raindrops
the ceiling says
my body wanders
to a part of nowhere
glowing like a warm air
as if it were true
The reflection of the latte under the yellow light
the foam forms a crescent
like the curve of your smiling eyes
Petrichor tonight is so foreign
because only the gentle wind
between your body is familiar to me
I begin

Dance among the crashing waves
A dance among the crashing waves
The turbulent sea on the shore
Rolling with white sand
The fragility of a body in pieces
In footprints that have left behind
The wind blows on the waving strands
Like a dance in the shadows at the edge of the beach
When fingers clasp
The waves run
Clashing against towering rocks
Playing with dreams at the end of

Port at the end of room
If it's a harbor at the end of the beach
then just say my name in a whisper
like a boat going back and forth
within its sturdy walls
And if it's a house
then the door is cracked
even though it's battered by the wind
There's no hot tea there
let alone the lonely flower of eternity
only soft eyes that feel different
No,

Ended in misery
The heat creeps into the empty fabric
only getting colder
inside the tightly closed gray jacket
no warmth of jokes and laughter
nor embraces that are increasingly glowing
please, close your eyes for a moment
let me kiss between your reddened eyelids
bitterness of isolation
And if it's tomorrow
take the time for a final greeting
when I'm still stuck at the end of the

Firework maker's daughter
As the southern winds blew,
I, all but a firework maker’s daughter; stood still.
He demanded I learn the craft as he taught,
but that was never my intention at heart.
I sought not to carry forward his legacy,
but to build my own.
Every strike of iron, every spark,
every recipe of flame I disowned.
I rewrote every page, for I was

Small Acts
a little sun through window
a whisper as the house
takes a breath and I’m
a moment older lost in reflection
about how the ones I loved
come back to me each time
I get out of bed remembering
how someone who worked
with me stood near me
as I cleaned up a spill
a small act but it was
a big thing at the

BENDED KNEES
Humble start
Moment to express
Earth to Heaven
Need to pray
The Cross on the mind
A world that doesn’t spiritually care
A warning in beware
The US President acting like a King
The Holy One being the sit high and look down watch
Some people in the world refuse to bend
That could very well be their end
Wisdom of Thy
Seeing eye to eye
The creator

Adoration
The sense of peace and silence that you bring as you are present is unlike any other.
My soul wants to not just kneel before you but lay down on the earth you created and worship you for the very breath you have given me.
My soul longs for you, my God.
King of the

what love could i seek if not yours?
what love could i seek if it’s not yours?
a joyous ode to your name—
even sorrow would glee to hear.
i’ll leave some words on your doorstep
slowly relenting, slightly scrambling.
like the way they were in my tongue,
your name’s as sweet as the morning dew,
waiting for my lips to utter
each syllables describing all of you
don’t spare me

you, only
eternal- under the scope of your breath.
do you think if the world falls apart, your touch would falter between my heaving?
all i want, all i need,
is to get lost in your words,
or to get lost even in the semblance of your shadow,
in hopes to feel the twinkle in your eyes
you’re the tinge of orange

field’s transaction to the wind
can i feel your breeze? can i breathe your name forever? can you tickle the chimes for their giggles to make you known?
a series of questions, nothing bit to know. no one has ever stopped me for a series of friendliness, i fill up the void yet no one acknowledge the breath.
yet here

A conversation
strangely for you, i am yours.
odd defiance of the greatest,
my body craving what your hunger lay.
trace my ache with your warmth,
fiercely dissolve it under your tongue.
wishes upon the stars
on the river where dogs bathe,
wailed in agony within this realm
this realm of your embrace
i do love you, i do unravel
like fixtures of the skylight

From the high grove to Portland
The world outside is vast and bright,
Soaring buildings and lakes so grand,
But its high groves fade from sight,
In the moments I just hold your hand
A simple touch, a glance you hold,
Shifting in the air that stops time,
Turning ash and grey to molten gold,
Like lightning singing to you in this rhyme
Do you feel it softly, tingling
