Her Smile

her smile flames on a lamp in my heart
tell! with what part of me will this light part?

And If We Care Not Anymore

i'm afraid we might be making
funerals of our our life's moon
asking the night's darkness to become our medium of sight
ask me— who sees this emptiness that the eyes speak of
ask the saints of hell who worshipped
the demons wholeheartedly,
ask the demons of hell who worshipped Lucifer
with all the drops of their blood
ask Lucifer who worshipped his desires like God
No one sees nothing even if there is 
everything to see— except light
we will just keep moving like merry-go-round
making rounds around an axle of lingering pains
the image we carry in our face today
does not approve of us and all
that we carry in our heart
but we are fools— denying the brightest truths
gleaming right infront of our eyes
our bodies— the skeleton of falsehood we carry
our soul— a phenomenon of reccuring lies
our essence— an untold truth we cover up
with our egos— like the news
of terrorism showing on the TV
with bitter butter labels facading the actuality of time
i am so (not) done with all of these!
i have lost all of my tears to my helplessness
my eyes have become fruitless today:
my arid face desists to bear any of these fruits
if it rains somewhere around here--
listen well, it might be hooves of camels
stumping the dessert sandhill
look well, it might be a sudden mirage
casting a spell over your heart
this territory has been plagued 
by rounds of dances enough
to intoxicate death to sleep
we are stories let dripping out 
of the ink of time— scribbling
chapter after chapter— and making
rounds as if time shall end never again.
