POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I mainly draw, but there are things and feelings that just can't be captured visually, and that's why I started writing... Mostly I try to explore the landscape of my mind, the subtleties of my emotions, and how I look at things.

Papercut Crush
Blood is red
Bruises are blue
I've got a papercut crush on you
I want a papercut love
Butterflies, angels that sing
Something that I'll feel
With no real thinking
Blood is red
Bruises are blue
I've got a papercut crush on you
It hurts
But I like that pain
It hurts, do it again
If this is gonna make me feel alive
For a moment
Play with me at falling in love,
Let's romanticize our sentiments
...

Red Snake
Red snake, red snake
What mood is yours today ?
They say a snake can't feel
They don't know what they say.
My love is reptilian
We're unreasonable
Drawn to the sensual
None of this is benign
Red snake, red snake
In a loverboy's teeth
You are so beautiful
You make my blood hiss
My love is reptilian
We're unreasonable
Drawn to the sensual
None of this is benign
Cold blood
Has contaminated me
My fever
Won't go down ...
What mood is yours today ?
They say a snake can't feel
They don't know what they say.
My love is reptilian
We're unreasonable
Drawn to the sensual
None of this is benign
Red snake, red snake
In a loverboy's teeth
You are so beautiful
You make my blood hiss
My love is reptilian
We're unreasonable
Drawn to the sensual
None of this is benign
Cold blood
Has contaminated me
My fever

How to Fly
You control
And I'll let go
And I'll keep hold
Of how you let me go
I'm watching you
So don't worry
You can hang me
You can teach me how to fly.
I am not made of glass
But sometimes I don't feel my skin
You redefine my time and space
You make me sore
I wanna feel again.
Put me upside-down
To bring my spirits up
My head spins
I don't mind
I'm trusting you
With my body
You can bruise me
And then teach me how to fly
I am not made of...
And I'll let go
And I'll keep hold
Of how you let me go
I'm watching you
So don't worry
You can hang me
You can teach me how to fly.
I am not made of glass
But sometimes I don't feel my skin
You redefine my time and space
You make me sore
I wanna feel again.
Put me upside-down
To bring my spirits up
My head spins
I don't mind
I'm trusting you
With my body
You can bruise me
And then teach me how to fly
I am not made of...

Not Anymore
I'd rather let you go
Than hit my head on the walls
Over and over again
You were in limbo
It's frustrating, you know
This blindness that you have
You're winter-sad
I'm hot and ready to go
First comes the day that I don't need you
Then come the days that I don't want you
You were the best something of my teenage paramour
Don't you shake and cry, honey
It's not you, it's all on me
I just don't give two shits about you anymore
I like you but I
Don't like that you love me ...
Than hit my head on the walls
Over and over again
You were in limbo
It's frustrating, you know
This blindness that you have
You're winter-sad
I'm hot and ready to go
First comes the day that I don't need you
Then come the days that I don't want you
You were the best something of my teenage paramour
Don't you shake and cry, honey
It's not you, it's all on me
I just don't give two shits about you anymore
I like you but I
Don't like that you love me ...

Princess Dies-A-Lot
There once was a princess, whom Death followed around
Death was her shadow, her footsteps, the sound of her regal coughs
And everyone around saw Death hovering in her wake, everyone but her
And a knight loved her tenderly, but he too saw
Songs around the kingdom
Spoke of Princess Dies-A-Lot
Of her worsening symptoms
And her not-so-brave lover Lancelot
Her long black hair, his undying passion,
Their fairytale of lust and modernity
But no good came from their union
And I shall tell you their story :
Is this a...
Death was her shadow, her footsteps, the sound of her regal coughs
And everyone around saw Death hovering in her wake, everyone but her

And her not-so-brave lover Lancelot
Her long black hair, his undying passion,

Stay
Can you give me a stay ?
I swear I won't intrude
Can you give me a stay ?
Away from solitude
Can you give me a stay ?
I'll be the best of friends
Can you give me a stay ?
And I will pray, only to you.
Can you warm up my heart ?
I have been bleeding cold
Can you not tell my folks ?
Or my girlfriend, or the wallflowers.
Can you be my best friend,
Stop getting lost in space and time ?
Can I be in your life ?
Is your life a place for me to stay ?
I won't make a sound, I won't disturb you
Some lack of...
I swear I won't intrude
Can you give me a stay ?
Away from solitude
Can you give me a stay ?
I'll be the best of friends

And I will pray, only to you.
Can you warm up my heart ?
I have been bleeding cold
Can you not tell my folks ?
Or my girlfriend, or the wallflowers.
Can you be my best friend,
Stop getting lost in space and time ?
Can I be in your life ?
Is your life a place for me to stay ?

Love Virgins
The sky is green
It's a thunderous traitor
My heart is throbbing
Dissected for love
I wanna make acquaintance
With the sweetest in life
I feel like an old teenager
Hormonal and full of strife
All the lights in me have gone out
I wanna be your friend
Growing up still disappoints
Stay grounded in the real realm
Heal my trust
I'll stick with you, you'll put up with me,
Let's create the past
I wanna take your virginity.
I like art if it's illegal
Or if...
It's a thunderous traitor
My heart is throbbing
Dissected for love
I wanna make acquaintance
With the sweetest in life
I feel like an old teenager
Hormonal and full of strife
All the lights in me have gone out
I wanna be your friend
Growing up still disappoints
Stay grounded in the real realm
Heal my trust
I'll stick with you, you'll put up with me,
Let's create the past
I wanna take your virginity.
I like art if it's illegal

Fourteen
It only hurts when they talk about it
Talk about it
Behind your back
He says we've got to get thinkin' about it
Thinkin' about it
Oh, how can it be
How can you feel so lonely
Fourteen is the number, needs to be purified,
Fourteen is a sweet, sweet age
Fourteen is the number, needs to be sanctified,
Fourteen haunts your nightmares.
It's so ugly
They're not a thing of the past
And now their future is crossed
Because we're fourteen
Fourteen is the number
It only hurts...
Talk about it
Behind your back
He says we've got to get thinkin' about it
Thinkin' about it
Oh, how can it be
How can you feel so lonely
Fourteen is the number, needs to be purified,
Fourteen is a sweet, sweet age
Fourteen is the number, needs to be sanctified,
Fourteen haunts your nightmares.
It's so ugly
They're not a thing of the past
And now their future is crossed
Because we're fourteen
Fourteen is the number
It only hurts...

Bink's Sake
I'm setting sail tonight
To deliver some sake
To an old man named Binks.
In his old age, nothing keeps him alive
But this little fix
And a memory from a distant shore
From seventy-six years ago
Old man Binks has sailed everywhere
To the coasts of Taipei and Malaga
And to countries that don't exist any more
He's seen a revolution
Tonight the sea is rough
But I have to deliver Bink's sake
Storm and lightning may strike,
Ghost ships will complete the way
If we stray off course
My soul is calling to...
To deliver some sake
To an old man named Binks.
In his old age, nothing keeps him alive
But this little fix
And a memory from a distant shore
From seventy-six years ago
Old man Binks has sailed everywhere
To the coasts of Taipei and Malaga
And to countries that don't exist any more
He's seen a revolution
Tonight the sea is rough
But I have to deliver Bink's sake
Storm and lightning may strike,
Ghost ships will complete the way
If we stray off course
My soul is calling to...

Tuesdays
Nothing good ever happens on a Tuesday
And I'll prove you that !
Nothing good ever comes out of a Tuesday
And here are the facts :
My friend does her homework all day and night
Without a minute to spare for me
But lazy-ass teacher didn't care to show up
On the second day of the school week
A pal of me played theatre
I told him « break a leg, hey ! »
Then the spotlight broke and fell on him
You just have to guess the day...
Nothing good ever happens on a Tuesday
And I'll prove you...
And I'll prove you that !
Nothing good ever comes out of a Tuesday
And here are the facts :
My friend does her homework all day and night
Without a minute to spare for me
But lazy-ass teacher didn't care to show up
On the second day of the school week

Gasoline
I feel sore
From soaring this world
It's an eyesore
The concrete is so cruel
It's so crude
No smoothness in the eyes
And my hands are rough
I'm too tired to try.
I need gasoline
Soaking the stones
As deep as my bones
Glistening on my skin
Washing away the iron dust
I need gasoline
To give me energy
Reverse the push of gravity
Pour the bath for a Queen
And shiver from her lust
I need it so, so, so much.
To hell with innocence ...
From soaring this world
It's an eyesore
The concrete is so cruel
It's so crude
No smoothness in the eyes
And my hands are rough
I'm too tired to try.
I need gasoline
Soaking the stones
As deep as my bones
Glistening on my skin
Washing away the iron dust
I need gasoline
To give me energy
Reverse the push of gravity
Pour the bath for a Queen
And shiver from her lust
I need it so, so, so much.
To hell with innocence ...

Make it Work
Twenty years in the making
And still its flaws are covered up
Watery diamonds
Shatter on my silk bath robe
I've fallen from the light
Now I'll dig the earth
To find the rotting roots of glory
In limbo still
Between Heaven and Earth stilled
Shall I cast another toy aside
Like I did with an empire
I'll make the world go round
Turn its hands from the inside
If I grasp an atom with my eye
Can my whole life be englobed
In such a tiny, puny vessel
Nearly as old as imagination
A billion years in the making...
And still its flaws are covered up
Watery diamonds
Shatter on my silk bath robe
I've fallen from the light
Now I'll dig the earth
To find the rotting roots of glory
In limbo still
Between Heaven and Earth stilled
Shall I cast another toy aside
Like I did with an empire
I'll make the world go round
Turn its hands from the inside
If I grasp an atom with my eye
Can my whole life be englobed
In such a tiny, puny vessel
Nearly as old as imagination
A billion years in the making...
