Tenth of JulyIt's quite a bright dusk today
I would choose Neapolitan yellow for the sky
Although I haven't touched colours for years
After all, images and paintings are quite enough
So why create more without urgent necessity?
The thick foliage of the trees around the balcony
Stands still as if painted on a canvas
It’s a heatwave now, I'm sitting in my...

A touch is a Hug for the LonelyA touch is a hug for the lonely,
I thought as I sat on that plane.
The sleeping man beside me,
Would never know that feeling he made.
As his head nodded off,
His elbow extended to mine.
This little little tap
Echoed in a hollow mine.
I savoured such a warm embrace,
From the man that would never know me,
But I couldn’t help...

The White Paper
Stuck between the lines,
The only place where I don't get detained by all the crimes.
Silent sins, where everything begins,
The knife that cuts so deep,
They say, “Calm down,” this is not for the weak.
No building holding up the structure,
Everything’s on the ground, already fractured.
Like the shadows on the hills, slowly...

RedemptionInspired to Write ??? right?
I recently thought back to a time in my life I was so vulnerable.
Flashbacks of a fist to my HEAD ????
I don’t wanna be dead. ??
This love I found I don’t wanna lose, please Lord help me choose.
Help me choose to love myself,
Help me choose to do things I love...

Matsuo Basho: English translations of Haiku about Life 1Matsuo Basho: English translations of haiku about clouds, geese, departing, empty nests and huts, lonely, loneliness, drinking alone, sake, longing, loss, death, hawks, the moon, Japanese culture.
As clouds drift apart,
so we two separate:
wild geese departing.
—Matsuo Basho, translation by Michael R. Burch
The old nest deserted,
how empty now
my next-door neighbor’s hut.

Yesterday?
Departed,

Lacking an AnchorA drift in a sea of longing,
rudderless and without direction.
Trying to stay afloat
amidst the relentless winds and currents
whipping the crests into a frenzy.
At the mercy of the nautical tempest,
in a fruitless battle to maintain control,
I’m losing sight of the sheltered harbor
that was my refuge from this upheaval
brought on by the forced solitude
when you left...

The Weight of IntangiblesSometimes, I feel completely alone.
No matter how much I try to reach out,
or try to connect.
Sometimes, I feel unwanted.
No matter how much love I pour out,
or try to perfect.
Sometimes, I feel misunderstood.
No matter how much I try to explain,
or try to correct.
My delivery
always seems off or lost in translation.
I’m told that...

I weep for meI loathe what I have become
Things I tacitly permissed
Weigh me down with water
Shameful of my tears
That I am thin of heart and humour
Quick to temper now
Hard and dark, where once
Was soft and light
It is me whose hands are bloodied
I held the dagger and carved
Into myself for attention
Now I weep for me

The days pass, the weeks passCould we not at least exchange some crummy
anecdotes about our recent pasts
some poorly recalled bus stop or shop incidents
semi memories of there was this time when
I'll take any half digested subvocal passing thoughts
and an inappropriate and unvoiced yet sincerely held
opinion which you know is safe with me
Throw me a crumb here and I'll toss you

BestfriendI want this loneliness to end,
I need a bestfriend,
I'm tired,
I'm lost,
Where do I run to
When I need to cry?
You know, the water droplets that come out of eyes
When your heart is heavy like a
Bag full of wet cotton,
That ache worse than a grazed knee,
Where do I run to?
Who do I run to?
I'm lost,
In an...

West Coast WalkingAll alone is all i've ever been
miss when houses felt like a home
now more-so abandoned
as i walk around these ghost, derealization
now im on the west coast
starin at the ocean
reminds me of these flows
Melodies surfin
my skull got deep holes
here but driftin
mold the words no play-doh
in rhymes sinkin
realest never make the studio
like waves they driftin
built it up...

heatCharles and my predawn jog was a sweat-athon and as the sun rose, a heat-dome brightness tattooed crisp shadows in every corner. Any lingering coolness was burned off - evaporated.
It was 94°f, 3 hours later, when I walked to campus - why don’t we use parasols anymore? Drag on, radiant afternoon heat, please.
That was...

Enduring BreathsLaying down wondering
where did you go after
visiting my dreams
from time to time?
A regular guest you became,
Now I see you less and
less leaving my memories
in such an emotional
distraught,
as you left a feeling
I thought I would never have,
a desire unknown,
a burning sensation leaving
me trembling whenever
I fall asleep
dreaming hoping
to see you but terrified
to awake in our...

Along the WayThe raindrops fall into the paper cup of tea
The teabag shrinks as if it could be my remark
Unlatch the green door to the childlike mystery
It’s possible again to enter that old park
The busts and statues of the gods and greats
And shaded benches in the niches of the trees
There in the memory another alley waits
I...
