we need adult pants
to confront our dreams demise
before time waves bye  ~
moving to a sunny state 
might turn our sadness around

no more lush yard land
useful outbuildings scattered
old farmhouse we love
maybe sad byes to willows ~
then hi to palms and beaches

we felt this was home
an old house where we belonged
not our shared fate though
so to sun state we will drive ~
with frowns to wear in some months


Premium MemberMy Friend Is the Ocean

My friend is the ocean, waters that glide,
Rustling my footsteps and tousling my hair;
Many the times that we walked side by side,
A spark and forever, joined as a pair.
Always a cloud there lay over its play,
Dappled the sunlight that fell on my face;
Heaving, its waters had something to say;
Twilight with meteors it took for the place.
Rising from breakers, said spirit to me,
“Sunlight and storms must both in the sea lie;
These are my words,” sad the heart of the sea,
“Know that I love you, and by me, shall die.”
What is the darkness that’s in the sea’s soul?
What can it counter, and what not annul?

Bestfriend

I 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 ocean,
Down,
   Down, 
        Down,
           In the middle of 
                  N 
                      O
                 W
                          H
               E
                           R
                                   E
I can't breathe,
My lungs are swollen
Soaked in salty tears,
My wails are wasted,
The world is deaf and blind.

On The Shelf, pt 2

“You’re welcome.”

The words ring through my head.
The words I knew were soon to come.
My eyes fill with dread.

I knew he would see through my lies.
I knew that he would talk to my father.
After countless cries,
	I seemed to not be bothered.

Nothing can stop me.
The sting makes me feel alive,
	It brings me back to reality.

I’ll talk to him, 
	but it won’t make it better.
The light in my eyes is dim,
	I want to beat my head with a hammer.

But alas the night is here,
	and I can sit in my room.
It’s so very clear,
	it’s so very gloom..

I’ll sit in my ocean of tears,
	My silence wonder.
I only want to hear the cheers,
	when I’m 6ft under.

“You’re welcome.”

The unspoken conversation

Pray for me, brother;  
There are words stuck behind my tongue  
That I have carried in my heart,  
For life can tire the tongue—
Because our moments for words are few.   

The world does not welcome words, brother.  
I am weary of the heaviness in my eyes,  
Though no fault has ever been yours,  
Because I am the creator of my own path.  

My tired spirit has wept an ocean—  
An ocean in a desolate land with ripples,  
Perhaps to guide me through Jordan's stream,  
Or to lead me in a world of sin and care.  

Dear brother, pray!
I am tired of many 'afters'—  
I gaze at the stars with a bitter sigh.  
I wish I could articulate my fear  
Even with my trembling tongue,  
Because when I hear, "God is love,"  
It feels like a lie.

The Regrets Road to Lake Harmony

the train wheels stopped at a station
and the roads leads to lake harmony
my homestead, the town my memories roots run deep
the air feels fresh while the sun is overhead
walking down the road, it brings me to a house
where a friend of mine once resided
i faded away from her life when i was eight
i try to summon her face but
her haunting childhood flash before my eyes
seven but her abusive father left her traumatized
stranded in an ocean from which she can't swim out

she would sit alone in her room
playing with the dolls wearing her mother's cardigan
and whenever i saw her, she would just smile
all she could wish was to fly high in the sky
too young to know the right steps
i wonder about her whereabouts 
and is she fine?
i should've ran away with her
to a place far away from her father's reach
to a place in the mountains
where the cold winter feels like summer
where she would've spent time singing like crazy in valleys
where no one would've dare to hurt her again

Sea Piece

roaring sans a mouth 
she still grapples
for your kiss —
crying seagulls fly

~above the waves passing through skin like sinless sheets,
my piece of the sea

the swells of me
camouflages our gills —
heart also webbed,
by salt maybe

~I cannot hand off this mad buoy,
my piece of the sea

memories docked,
beached on by
the dust of years —
surf's leaving quick and old 

~from her foamy lashes where my tears stream,
my piece of the sea

the truth I didn’t want to believe

I gave all I had
even when I thought
I had nothing to give.

I stayed,
I fought,
I built bridges
over an ocean of lies
just to find myself drowning.

I didn’t want it to end.
I didn’t want it to be true.

But no matter how much you try,
you can’t make someone stay.
You can’t make someone care.

And now,
all that’s left
is the truth I didn’t want to believe.

Forgive Me

Miles apart in the gleam, I believe her,
Upright on the porch, staring at the mighty above,
Her glassy eyes shimmering with a deceptive smile,
Her loose hair flowing like ocean waves.
Must she be seeing the moon similar  as mine?
Our children lie in slumber deep,
Too young to grasp the storms we face.
Here I stand, lost in whispers of the dark,
Unformed, without any foresight.

Oh, my love! How will I ever repay those emotions?
The deepest depths no longer sting,
Perhaps the Almighty is a reconsideration away.
What have I done so horrendous,
For you to endure this?
My soul feels lost in its entirety.
Where a blink's separation takes us closer to certainty,
My beloved, forgive me for this single night of parting.

Harsh Cold Winter

It’s a harsh cold winter
You’re gone and I’m so bitter
I sat front-row seat
As I watched our love wither

Heart gouged by the splinters
You’ve silenced your ringer
And my feelings for you
Oh, they still linger…

It’s a harsh cold winter
Choked sobs and silent whimpers
Sparks of love burned out
Leaving ashes and cinder

Sleepless nights
Bottles of whiskey 
Skipped meals 
My love, do you miss me?

It’s a harsh cold winter
I’ve always been an overthinker 
Should I move on? Or reach out?
letting my healing progress hinder

Week old sheets that smell of you
Tears as wide as the ocean
People come and go 
But all I ever wanted was your devotion

STORY INSCRIBED ON JULY 13

“not every story has a beginning 
some are told in the dark, 
some begin at the end of our lives 
& some end at the beginning of pains”

there's a glue that has a name—July 13
strong enough to glue a diving eagle to the sky
i hop on Sleepless memories outside my body
to watch the sun swims in the ocean 
i write epitaph too
i stand in & watch life through my window bar too
as he bird hunts fireflies to lit up his hatchling intestines 
i, an artist, 
next to canvas with beautiful painting in mind & Sleepless pain on palette 

i stand alone in his footsteps to watch the sunset 
as a man laughs in his children's names, i imagine my father's face like a country buried under my tongue
then go home with digested depression in my belly.

November

For some reason not even the earth could change my mind
The wind banging against my ears
And the dark night couldn't disguise it.
The oak trees could protest their judgement
And the ocean can keep wailing 
But my ignorance can oversee it.
For some reason,there were more leaves than before.
The owls cries were easily ignored
Likewise, not even the doves were heard.
Reluctant, I had started to embrace the seasons
And with that, the leaves finally cleared
The ocean soothed
The oaks no longer croaked
For once
I felt blissfully unaware.
Yesterday everything was so loud
But tonight was so quiet
Even my mind no longer protested.
The only protests were the thumps of my very own heart
Even though the snow sourly embraced me
Summers' own spiteful touch lingered.
On that edge
A minuscule path of dying dignity
The seasons grew louder
For whatever reason.
And even in my bittersweet death
I was still nature's child
Caressed by mother nature herself.


November

A Man of Forest and Steel

Edward is a forest of a man and a river parting into steel. 
And he will never love me, until the wind blows blue
Or ocean tides have melted sand - into iron soot.

Mirror of Hearts

"One day, . . . I saw the sunset forty-four times! . . . You know—one loves the sunset, when one is so sad."
 Quote from The Little Prince 
by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

Sky, mirror of our hearts,
tries to hide her burning heart under water;
The ocean heaves in empathy
with tears of angst the colour of fire
transforming, slowly, into lava.

Sky, mirror of our hearts..
Roses fall from her cheeks 
spreading over pages of transparency
to turn her boundless looking-glass
into a sea of fiery roses
that will soon be devoured by 
the charcoal of the night.

Sky, mirror of our hearts,
waits for the serene moon
to veil her smouldered cheeks 
with gleams of composed silver.

Sky, mirror of our hearts
that will forever lurk within us,
at twilight, hides her blushing sun
until she re-learns to rise from the ashes
and recommence weaving hope . . .

My shadow

My shadow wears
a pink frilly dress
a sun hat with handpicked flowers
shoes that compliment everything
Her hair is like a noisy ocean down to her waist
beautiful and blonde
My shadow is a flower
always growing and moving on
dancing in the wind
But that's not me
