Moon among the stars
Sky once glisten,
Night brings life uneven.
Lost in the limelight,
In battle of hearts we try to fight.
Engagements never once won,
In a life that was never blessed with vision.
To be treated right was the dream,
Even among gentlemen esteemed.
Soul set ablaze,
By star lost in haze.
Passion filled by planets,
Empty heart burried in a casket.
Unquenchable thirst greeted by rocks,
Path to true pleasure is block.
Mend and bend with the earth,
Wandered soul stomped like dirt.

Hello September
Caffeine filled time
Jolly and giddy for a while.
Words fly across our consciousness
Even with the depths of our hearts' converse.
Clouds canopied tall skyscrapers
It's amazing that we're just a couple of takers.
Confidant for life
Even in the face of a jackknife.
Nerve-wracking appraisal,
Long periods where fear assembled.
Crunch time came
Moments passed and overcome.
Triumph another challenge,
Together accompanied by the urge to munch.
Delight was not even the feeling,
But these will be moments that will...
Jolly and giddy for a while.
Words fly across our consciousness
Even with the depths of our hearts' converse.
Clouds canopied tall skyscrapers
It's amazing that we're just a couple of takers.
Confidant for life
Even in the face of a jackknife.
Nerve-wracking appraisal,
Long periods where fear assembled.
Crunch time came
Moments passed and overcome.
Triumph another challenge,
Together accompanied by the urge to munch.
Delight was not even the feeling,
But these will be moments that will...

Let it Flow
Here's a bump and a nudge,
so you can remember.
be good to yourself first,
then others second.
Beyond your sight of kindness,
you are allowed to close your eyes
and forget traditions
that the world erected moons ago.
Beyond your will of strength
you are allowed to crumble,
breathe deeply as you wallow.
Beyond your heart filled with love,
you are allowed to shatter,
to hear that inner voice
and forget the rest of the world.
even in a moment
you can choose not to love...
so you can remember.
be good to yourself first,
then others second.
Beyond your sight of kindness,
you are allowed to close your eyes
and forget traditions
that the world erected moons ago.
Beyond your will of strength
you are allowed to crumble,
breathe deeply as you wallow.
Beyond your heart filled with love,
you are allowed to shatter,
to hear that inner voice
and forget the rest of the world.
even in a moment
you can choose not to love...

Until then
You tell tales of your shattered being
That If death comes right in your doorstep, You'll hug it.
But in a blink of an eye
You'll push death back
to its own oblivion
as you slowly but steadily
walk away from its shrouded embrace.
Ultimately falling back to your reality
where you welcome your fragmented soul
and slowly assemble
every bits and pieces of what was left of you.
And time jumps forward along
until you've let go
until you've grown
until you're ready
until you meet death yet again
not broken,
but...
That If death comes right in your doorstep, You'll hug it.
But in a blink of an eye
You'll push death back
to its own oblivion
as you slowly but steadily
walk away from its shrouded embrace.
Ultimately falling back to your reality
where you welcome your fragmented soul
and slowly assemble

C H A R I N A
As you'll travel day to day
In vast lands I can only dream to measure.
All those years that slipped away,
Your soul remain timeless and that i treasure.
As I glanced back to youthful years,
I call to mind our days of smiles and tears.
Glad to had recount joys of joys with you,
Let's toast to that and open a bottle of soju.
In hours of darkness when stars shine bright,
my fear fades as you were always a beacon of light.
Our bond had grown and will do so by-and-by,
It might get harder to say goodbye.

Bestfriend's day out
Whole day,
What a feeling of all time high.
Sunshine and blue sky,
Laughter across the field where kids play.
Surrounded by people you adore,
Attention at bay even when topics were a bore.
Euphoric filled day is our perfect score,
Too much too little but still wanted more.
Craved that little mellow grassy and irresistible bitter tea,
Among choosing but that's all you see.
Till punched by this century's pedlar,
Scent of Japanese fare in this city is quite popular
Wait aren't you too happy?
Here's the universe...
What a feeling of all time high.
Sunshine and blue sky,
Laughter across the field where kids play.
Surrounded by people you adore,
Attention at bay even when topics were a bore.
Euphoric filled day is our perfect score,
Too much too little but still wanted more.
Craved that little mellow grassy and irresistible bitter tea,
Among choosing but that's all you see.
Till punched by this century's pedlar,
Scent of Japanese fare in this city is quite popular
Wait aren't you too happy?
Here's the universe...

Juancho
In your sleeping phase,
I could do nothing but gaze.
With your mother by your side,
and here i watch you from a diffent land.
I softly utter your name in whispers
Can you hear me i wonder?
I stare and carress you in your picture.
Can you feel my touch across this thin line of paper?
You haven't tasted this yet,
as love poured unto you undeniably
How does it feel to be in limitless dreams?
Enjoy them i say as they diminish eventually.
In time, you'll learn to fight
with your mom and dad,
with your brothers...

Off the Calendar
Eras begone
as reckoning bloom.
My flesh had grown
but my soul remains my own.
My core's lost and torn,
as the innocence departed and drowned.
Miles walked facedown,
reached this novel town.
Distant time had flown,
Pieces yet haven't sawn.
Decades may not return,
as existence and its puzzles are never left unturn.
Figmental impressions to mourn,
In quintessence of souls made drawn.
Hereafter left under the cobblestone,
Foretime placed and forgotten.
Pleased for days that...
as reckoning bloom.
My flesh had grown
but my soul remains my own.
My core's lost and torn,
as the innocence departed and drowned.
Miles walked facedown,
reached this novel town.
Distant time had flown,
Pieces yet haven't sawn.

as existence and its puzzles are never left unturn.
Figmental impressions to mourn,

Hereafter left under the cobblestone,
Foretime placed and forgotten.

Dear Friend, Be kind to yourself
I know you're in the right place now.
But if in the back of your mind there's still a lot going on.
And if it still bothers you.
Just remember,
be good to yourself, then to others next.
Don't worry of what other people think of you.
Start thinking of how you can take care of yourself.
What you've felt and experienced with others recently is not something that should be ignored.
As your feelings are as significant as your existence.
Those feelings never goes away even if you decide to suppress them.
This will only lead to further turmoil...

Lost in Mind and Space
Tired flesh feels heavy in the present
and not too long ago happiness was well spent.
Mind calculating every penny and cost
Fearing that coming times will be lost
As one forwards in time,
Inevitably loosing innocence
Living in broad daylight
Whilst the soul is wandering off still in the night.
Clamp in chains
In the freedom of our world within our minds
How low our dreams have become
Or ordinary our days have just to live by.
How far lost are we
In the life we're supposed to be.
Have we made the wrong...
and not too long ago happiness was well spent.
Mind calculating every penny and cost
Fearing that coming times will be lost
As one forwards in time,
Inevitably loosing innocence
Living in broad daylight
Whilst the soul is wandering off still in the night.
Clamp in chains
In the freedom of our world within our minds
How low our dreams have become
Or ordinary our days have just to live by.
How far lost are we
In the life we're supposed to be.
Have we made the wrong...

Distant Feeling
How I long for the days when our world was never hindered,
when our voices were the only things that were revered.
How I dream of our time alone,
As it feels being together is far gone.
How I wish we could go back,
To our yesterday as if we never unpacked.
How I sometimes grow tired of waking,
In a bed alone with my heart beating.
How I succumb to tears to days of distance
As I reminisce about your embrace in abundance.
Despite the buts and ifs
Spellbound in time you and I lifts,
Days of sorrow will pass I am certain,
In...
when our voices were the only things that were revered.

In a bed alone with my heart beating.
How I succumb to tears to days of distance
As I reminisce about your embrace in abundance.

Yesterday's heartbreak
Not only once
Not only once, did you made me think that there could be forever
Not only once that you took that back
Then you said that we were never meant to be together
And this fucking hurt.
Because here I was,
Who was an idiot.
A moron,
The pushover
Who was hopeful
Who fought for what mattered to me.
Not only once did I tried to get over you
Not only once did I tell myself that I finally did it
So do you think that I did? That it happened?
And this is the best part.
Not only once I tried to...
