The Box
Cleaning somehow
Made me remember that I was grieving
I opened a box
The one I haven’t seen in years
A few letters brought me to tears
Had it really only been 5 years?
What world did I live in
Back then
A house of laughter
Phone calls
Then it was fall
And you left it all
For a home in the sky
I didn’t get to say goodbye
Made me remember that I was grieving
I opened a box
The one I haven’t seen in years
A few letters brought me to tears
Had it really only been 5 years?
What world did I live in
Back then
A house of laughter
Phone calls
Then it was fall
And you left it all
For a home in the sky
I didn’t get to say goodbye

A seagull’s view
I flew
My wings spread out wide
I was above the rushing tides
Light
As a feather
The weather
A perfect mix
Of sunshine and mist
I saw a bottle of wine
The sun shined
It was a fine day
Then I jump awake
My wings spread out wide
I was above the rushing tides
Light
As a feather
The weather
A perfect mix
Of sunshine and mist
I saw a bottle of wine
The sun shined
It was a fine day
Then I jump awake

Where your eyes gleam
Wherever the ocean sleeps
Where the sky is in between
Night and day
That is where we shall meet,
that is where I seek,
An ocean of dreams
Where your eyes gleam
And maybe,
Just a hint of a smile
The one I hadn’t seen in a while
Where the sun fades
Away
And the moon dances
I steal a few glances
While the music plays
How I love this day
And what I pray
The most
For the song to never end
And the stars to not fall
For I have enjoyed the night at the ball
By the ocean side
I’ll see...
Where the sky is in between
Night and day
That is where we shall meet,
that is where I seek,
An ocean of dreams
Where your eyes gleam
And maybe,
Just a hint of a smile
The one I hadn’t seen in a while
Where the sun fades
Away
And the moon dances
I steal a few glances
While the music plays
How I love this day
And what I pray
The most
For the song to never end
And the stars to not fall
For I have enjoyed the night at the ball
By the ocean side
I’ll see...

You choose
I’m tired
I went through a phase
Where all I wanted was to be at another place
My dreams made me more tired and I
Made myself feel bad
And to add
To that, I became
A ghost, not alive
I tried to abide
To the new norm
Realizing inside
I felt like a storm
I no longer wanted to put myself
Through all this hell
So I got up
Made coffee, did my hair
And actually cared
About how I looked
I’m not letting my past kill me inside
I’m getting off this self pity ride
I have school and work
I...

I loved you
Homesick for a place
That no longer exists
A past
I cannot go back
I grew up too soon
I’d give up the moon
For another day with you
I loved you
That no longer exists
A past
I cannot go back
I grew up too soon
I’d give up the moon
For another day with you
I loved you

Destiny’s String
Destiny’s string of fate
I wonder if it’s sometimes late
Maybe the red string
Got tangled by a stream
In the mountains far away
From the bay
I lay
And wonder when
This strange feeling
Of something missing
Will disappear
Someone give me a beer
Or maybe some wine
While I untangle this line of
Destiny’s string
That somehow got lost
By a stream
I wonder if it’s sometimes late
Maybe the red string
Got tangled by a stream
In the mountains far away
From the bay
I lay
And wonder when
This strange feeling
Of something missing
Will disappear
Someone give me a beer
Or maybe some wine
While I untangle this line of
Destiny’s string
That somehow got lost
By a stream

Lost in the deep
I sink in
Into the deep
The hue of indigo blue
The sun shines through
The breath replaced by bubbles
That float to the top
I wonder if I should stop
Sinking
The further I go
The more I let go
The light
captures my eyes
Maybe, I might
Hold on a little longer
A stronger
arm pulls me out
I let out the air I’d held
My skin is pale
I yell in shock
I met a kind face
His shoes were misplaced
I was lost in the dark
But you were the spark
That pulled me out
What were we...
Into the deep
The hue of indigo blue
The sun shines through
The breath replaced by bubbles
That float to the top
I wonder if I should stop
Sinking
The further I go
The more I let go
The light
captures my eyes
Maybe, I might
Hold on a little longer
A stronger
arm pulls me out
I let out the air I’d held
My skin is pale
I yell in shock
I met a kind face
His shoes were misplaced
I was lost in the dark
But you were the spark
That pulled me out
What were we...

Childhood Me
Childhood me
What did you see
If I could help you sleep
I’d seal away
All the dark days
I’d give you a warm hug
And tell you the world
Actually doesn’t suck
Childhood me
I hope you found your dream
To hold you tight
Through this rough night
You no longer have to fight
Keep your goals on sight
What did you see
If I could help you sleep
I’d seal away
All the dark days
I’d give you a warm hug
And tell you the world
Actually doesn’t suck
Childhood me
I hope you found your dream
To hold you tight
Through this rough night
You no longer have to fight
Keep your goals on sight

Reminiscing
Morning sounds,
The wind howls
In a smooth tone
I am not alone
I face each day
By the bay
In a house on stilts
Breathing in the ocean air
Wondering if you’re still there
The kind sea
Much like a lost memory
I hold on
For I was very fond
A cup of coffee in hand
I had plans
Obligations,
All moving in a swift clockwork rotation
I stare at a raging sea
I wonder if you miss me
The wind howls
In a smooth tone
I am not alone
I face each day
By the bay
In a house on stilts
Breathing in the ocean air
Wondering if you’re still there
The kind sea
Much like a lost memory
I hold on
For I was very fond
A cup of coffee in hand
I had plans
Obligations,
All moving in a swift clockwork rotation
I stare at a raging sea
I wonder if you miss me

Albert Einstein
Once upon a time
When things were a little over a dime
When guests dined
Barely spilling wine
There was a brilliant mind
Albert Einstein
He outshined
The world
And everyone adored
The ideas and thoughts
He had come up with quite a lot
Albert Einstein
If only he were still alive
When things were a little over a dime
When guests dined
Barely spilling wine
There was a brilliant mind
Albert Einstein
He outshined
The world
And everyone adored
The ideas and thoughts
He had come up with quite a lot
Albert Einstein
If only he were still alive

The Brief Case: part 1
The sun shines
As the days
Go by
No word.
I stare at his brief case again
Unspoken memories
Played within
My mind
Memories I thought were long gone
The trip to the mountain
The dried petals
The pictures of how we fell
All I can think in this moment
“Come home my love”
As the days
Go by
No word.
I stare at his brief case again
Unspoken memories
Played within
My mind
Memories I thought were long gone
The trip to the mountain
The dried petals
The pictures of how we fell
All I can think in this moment
“Come home my love”

Sweet dreams
The petals drift off to an unforeseen land
While the wind whispers
Of Nothing but peace
And bittersweet sleep
I drift off to my dreams
The ones I live to see
I breathe a sigh
When the sun had to rise
I bid my goodbye
And hoped to see them again
I don’t know where to begin
While the wind whispers
Of Nothing but peace
And bittersweet sleep
I drift off to my dreams
The ones I live to see
I breathe a sigh
When the sun had to rise
I bid my goodbye
And hoped to see them again
I don’t know where to begin
