For a Walk
I took a rock for a walk
The one pressing down on my chest
In hopes it might grow lighter
Yet it only got heavier
Crushing my heart
With each step I took
The one pressing down on my chest
In hopes it might grow lighter
Yet it only got heavier
Crushing my heart
With each step I took

What Could Have Been
In my black garment,
mourning the lost chances
that slipped through my fingers
like windblown, fine sand.
With tear-stained cheeks,
and aching eyes,
a witness to every shattered hope,
making the world so dull.
There is no moon to cry to,
and no arms to fall into,
from the haunting
of what could have been.

In Death
When I become one,
yet again, with clay,
speak to my grave.
Tell the molded soil,
the things you’ve kept from me—
things I sought in my life,
and no longer will in my death.
yet again, with clay,
speak to my grave.
Tell the molded soil,
the things you’ve kept from me—
things I sought in my life,
and no longer will in my death.

Visions of You
Visions consumed my thoughts,
Intoxicating my mind
With utopian figments of you,
Flickering in the dark.
Of your tender hands against my skin,
Like silken brushstrokes.
Earning every inhale I draw in,
With your amber essence,
Heavenly dulcet as honey,
A balm kissing down my every scar
To quell its tears.
While igniting a sea of flames
Beneath my aching flesh
With every fingerprint you leave behind.
I am set ablaze,
Craving your sedate touch,
Yet when I...
Intoxicating my mind
With utopian figments of you,
Flickering in the dark.
Of your tender hands against my skin,
Like silken brushstrokes.
Earning every inhale I draw in,
With your amber essence,
Heavenly dulcet as honey,
A balm kissing down my every scar
To quell its tears.
While igniting a sea of flames
Beneath my aching flesh
With every fingerprint you leave behind.
I am set ablaze,
Craving your sedate touch,
Yet when I...

Sayonara Amnesty _ with "Adagio"
Sayonara's amnesty tomorrow
with torrents of being one
obsessed by fading incognito
typhoons in nature's ecstasy
seeking one's eternal soul
with the pulse of the bamboo
whispering Sayonara's amnesty
To let go of every shadow
like the drifting autumn leaves
soaring in the air to the sky
breathing with the trees
the quietude of the universe
and the oscillating rhythm
in harmony with the scenery
with torrents of being one
obsessed by fading incognito
typhoons in nature's ecstasy
seeking one's eternal soul
with the pulse of the bamboo
whispering Sayonara's amnesty
To let go of every shadow
like the drifting autumn leaves
soaring in the air to the sky
breathing with the trees
the quietude of the universe
and the oscillating rhythm
in harmony with the scenery

Of No Use
What could a wilted flower do
Except crumble into miniscule fragments
And whisper in mind the words caught inside
What could a quiet flower of no use do
Except crumble into miniscule fragments
And whisper in mind the words caught inside
What could a quiet flower of no use do

Touch of death
Playing tag with demise,
My feet perched on life’s fine line,
Staring in a trance.
The grim touch of death
Drew closer,
Whispering to my ears,
“Peek-a-boo, I see you!”
My feet perched on life’s fine line,
Staring in a trance.
The grim touch of death
Drew closer,
Whispering to my ears,
“Peek-a-boo, I see you!”

Oceans I wept
At what depth must these oceans I wept
reach, for the sorrows—in which
I drowned—to subside?

Dead Sea
As torpid as the Dead Sea, I became.
With eyes devoid of sparkling stars,
and a smile dulled like worn velvet.
My soul withered with every breath,
clogging my lungs with dismal air.
My body floated with paralysis,
swallowed up in bed.
Fungi rooted within my organs,
rotting my insides.
As stagnant as the Dead Sea, I remained.
With eyes devoid of sparkling stars,
and a smile dulled like worn velvet.
My soul withered with every breath,
clogging my lungs with dismal air.
My body floated with paralysis,
swallowed up in bed.
Fungi rooted within my organs,
rotting my insides.
As stagnant as the Dead Sea, I remained.

Groke
In the Lonely Mountains,
Groke found her solace,
a frozen shelter
within the hollow chamber,
where darkness loomed
and coldness emanated.
She grew empty,
quietly hidden in solitude,
shrouded in melancholy’s sleet,
unloved, mistaken, and shunned.
She sought warmth from isolation,
her soul yearned for a softness to feel
and to melt away the numbness.

Bruise the Bruised
Her presence is haunting the air,
a shadow of pain and pureness
mangled by torments.
I see her behind every little girl’s gaze,
staring at me with agony,
longing for a way out of my life.
I see her in the corner of the room
crying in her head, with palms on her face
and no shoulder to lean on.
I see her when I close my eyes,
infiltrating my dreams,
as if they are a playground for the dead.
I see her lifeless photos
in the worn-out album,
wishing for me to set her free.
I see...

Broken Promises
Meteors streaking across the sky
In a flash of light
Like fired arrows
Burning their way down
To dive into the eclipse
Too far to catch
Too far to touch
Taking every glint of hope
With each fleeting day
Lost to the stars, shooting my dreams
Writhing in despair within the hollow loop
Of broken promises
As Earth’s waltz around the sun
Carried on
In a flash of light
Like fired arrows
Burning their way down
To dive into the eclipse
Too far to catch
Too far to touch
Taking every glint of hope
With each fleeting day
Lost to the stars, shooting my dreams
Writhing in despair within the hollow loop
Of broken promises
As Earth’s waltz around the sun
Carried on
