The Beeping Heart in My Pocket
A pixelated egg held in my hand,
A digital life I had command.
Three buttons small, a tiny screen,
A world within so bright and keen.
The beeping sound, a constant call,
Demanding care lest it should fall.
Hunger pangs and happy chirps,
A delicate balance with little quirks.
I fed it bits of digital treat,
And played small games, its joy complete.
Cleaned up...

The Chaos in my HeartA gift of perpetual silence,
from a deafening scornful frequency;
Eternal tranquility, we chase,
so is it considered victory?
Victorious it must feel,
for the one who departs;
The halt prior to mine,
leaving a chaos in my heart....

The HeartFor most of my life I had heard it said,
'Follow your heart'. It made sense to me.
Only a few years ago did I hear someone say,
'Do not follow your heart; Lead your heart'.
Someone has also said, 'Lead, follow, or get
out of the way'. What shall I then do?
Upon hearing the word, LEAD, I knew immediately.
I...

The Chaos in My Heart
I don't know of anyone who's been successful
in an attempt to capture the encumbrance
of a love pledged and then withdrawn,
nor how to heal a heart from its fallibility.
So, I'm left wondering...
when did the shallow waters of intense love
become too deep to tread?
When did the waves thrash so powerfully
that I was unable to keep...

The man in meWell-moulded into handsomeness by God,
Behold in me a true and noble man.
None meets my aura without feeling awed;
Even my foes admire me as a fan.
Come close—meet a man with a tender heart,
My sweet smile enough to make your heart move.
I smell good, walk with grace, and dress with art;
I am gentle—peace-loving like a dove.
I'm good...

Pining Heart - Sijo TrioPining away into the cosmic dust everyday
Faster than the second hand flies across the face of the moon
Changing its course in an elipse of untold counting.
Here lies the one that got nowhere with no one on the earth,
The burst of flames made the way that told its ending would be soon
Amongst the ashes of the...

Never Trust A Man With Sly EyesDoes your so-called honesty
only lead to tribulation?
Honestly,
life without you
makes me feel nothing
but blissful vindication-
indication of all the time
you stole out from under
me.
I was blind not to see
the slyness hidden
behind your eyes.
And my foolishness nearly
led to an early demise.
But if you're a fox,...

I will sculpt the life of my dreams with tireless hands and a heart of flameI will sculpt the life of my dreams with tireless hands and a heart of flame,
regardless of the falls that lie in my path or the rejections that close doors,
even if time is sometimes against me, the wind of luck can change,
and my work, a river of unrelenting efforts, will shape destiny with patience.
Hard work...

In playground of imaginationI'll climb
the tallest mountains with no stress,
I just need~
a helmet, rope, and climbing gear,
warm layers, good boots, maybe some fear,
a bit of my heart in my mouth,
to chase the butterflies from my belly—
no need to fight against my shadow~
it'll be too light upon the rock,
wrapping

Budget ShipMid-day vibration is coming to town and the people are running around getting ready for a big party to celebrate their musical history.
More than a hundred ships are docked at sea
And my beau is waiting for me, which ship he will board
I can’t tell, I will only know when I hear the mid-night...

BREAKFAST EGGBREAKFAST EGG
Thought reaches pinnacle
plunges into its own mystery
cracks open narrow self
an eggshell
passes personal truth
into Cosmic Heart
region of eternal life
this is all which is
was or ever
will be
egg
melts into One
time collapses
we eat it on toast
with salt and
pepper
Time re-emerges

Brokenhearted MemoryYou are a memory
A reminder of a time that once meant something to me
When it all ended, I thought I would be okay, but this time was different
The pain creeped into my heart in an instant
Wanted to rip the beating organ out of my body
While crying to myself and whispering that I was sorry
I was...

Percent of my HeartMy phone was at 87 percent.
The day seemed heaven sent.
Even though my friend was headed back to his home state.
I still think the day went great.
I’m at 48 percent still.
As my phone rests on that window sill.
I wonder if he thinks of me as a dusty file.
I haven’t charged my...

The Loser's HeartNever count your chicken before they hatch because you cannot tell what is hiding around the back, never build your hopes too high or place your dreams above the sky, when in doubt, do your researches before you start to shout.
keep your spirit calm before the break of dawn and the earth will reward...

The Last ExchangeWhile the sun was slipping away
You left me
With a gifted moment
A moment that lessened fears
Yet hastened tears
A moment that spoke to me
Yet set you free
A moment that caressed my heart
Yet put apart
A moment that fostered giving
Yet nurtured living
A moment that clarified a decision
Yet cleared my vision
While the sun was slipping away
You left me
With a gifted...
