Best Poems Written by Che Li

I, You, Were There?

The beast swallows your school
of dull, towering fish
You are pushed grasped thrusted by their scales, The light ushers you, Keep Going, through the, raw melodic rough noise
The light, hugs, loves,
Gives
Pets the tiered soothed piglet
You stay in the spotlight 
Of your very own Sun

Sun
Warm papery, softly, touches your shoulder.
The cold humid whiff catches your nose
Your puffy coat pokes fun at my walking, 
pulling and pushing every step you take
You see Sarah, and Carrie
Your Happy, you run 
Forget
Forget all your languages, your Learnings
As one blinks without thought or knowing
Forget everything but,
but pure embrace, Mind and soul as one, Becoming no more than Joy
A plump pig happy and content,
A soul to enjoy, and no soul for worry
You frolic in the snow
You happily play

It,
Hard gaze,
Tears into my soul
Screams, bleeds with the blood of disbelief
Tidal waves crash, Thundering my mind blind
Burning, a thousand burning needles piercing my heart
Scorching cauterizing my nerves blind
Burning, bittering my eyes, my bleeding rationale
you stood carried on, 
Floating, not feeling
numbed
enveloped
by, the spirit 
taunted, its words danced to the music
Tapping in to all pain offers
The cracks of your shell
Bleeding with tormenting
Human pearl
Of your reality
Blinded from a world, one reality forward
Hugging my restless mind searching its world for reason and truth
Yet blinded to none
Only afraid
For both of us
United by invisible recognition
I met you
Saw you
Became You
I saw you in fresh clear lenses
Vulnerable, Weak, Unique, and Human
I pried your shell, off 
Your tender, beautiful flesh
Exposed and glistening,
For me to respect and wonder
A sea of light cast upon you
I’m no longer afraid
As a child is in the dark
To cross my reality,
To yours
