I walk not alone.
Guards shield the unknown.
They converse in dreams,
through visions
of a world coexisting
in a realm beyond.

I walk not alone.
I am guarded
by beings who’ve walked this realm
and who walk the realm beyond.
They refuse...

If she but whispers ‘come’,

I will set out on foot,

longing for a road

that breaks me on the way to

her love.

For I seek not an easy journey,

but to wed hardship along my

path.

Let the earth under my soles

bear witness to the mile...

Love is not a property line

Empathy is not a lease to sign

I was never meant to hold a key

to a house that wasn’t mine

made up my mind to leave it behind

tired of paying rent in a heart

that leaves me out in a cold

I’m taking back the h...

Dipping,

steeping chi.

A campaign at its peak.

A pearlescent fluid release—

slipping…

melting,

settling deep.

Resonating gently,

till the cup is empty.

I'mtrapped in the future, a relic of thepast

My currency's all digital, I don'thave any more cash

No gifts in the present, just hopes, prayers, and wishes

The only thing I look forward to now, is washing my dirty dishes!

A soapyand tactile rem...

You are safe with me—

code for I’ve got you when

no one else does.

A love that comes from good

intentions,

locked inside a solid trust.

A love that is forever—

or at least an endeavor

of constant embrace.

A steady affirmation when...

A collected moment
resurfaces.

Starlit night,
clear skies,
streetlights
illuminating the way.

Two beings
walking.

Awkward silence
became a third wheel,
fed by racing thoughts.

Boy liked girl,
but never knew
whether those feeli...

Each touch, those faint ones that

tickle my senses,

reminds me of what I am missing.

You and I, existing far past the

mind’s mere glimpse—

where your rose scent is no longer

a hint,

but soaked deep into my warm

skin.

Our time spent i...

Stretching on tippy toes

to reach the edge of his lips,

her eyes dissolved —

a drift deep into an ascended sea,

spilling a quiet galaxy onto a silent

shore,before her mouth could utter

A graveyard exists,
where tombs lay
unmarked.

What lays there,
lost to the recesses
of time?

Who lays there,
if I recall,
are pieces of self
buried on shallow grounds.

A graveyard exists,
collecting bodies
whose forms
never came...

Choice and chance

Sometimes you gotta choose

Some win

Some lose

You gotta choose

It's a choice

You gotta take a chance

Living with what you're given

Some dont give a damn

It's a choice

The chosen get second chances

Heavy Heart

Bears all,
with no reprieve.

What it carries
holds jagged edges,
wounds revealed
with each attempt to carry.

Each moment
begets more wounds.

Congested mind,
thoughts weigh more
and more.

Formless though they may b...

The body just a shell

of an Inner Soul

Like everything in nature

body deteriorates as it

gets old

but the Soul a Space of time

and infinity

The body conceals the Inner Soul

of the mind body and ...

The city hums like a prayer between teeth,
neon halos on stop signs, breath fogging winter glass,
kids with shoelaces like maps, tracing routes
from stoop to stoop, from auntie's kitchen to the corner store.
Mama sings the same hymn she learned on a t...

I always wondered

what it was like to be loved

by a stranger.

It feels so wow, wow, wow!

Like a sudden whisper in a dark

vast,

a comment from a deity,

a glance across the stars,

lifting me up

before they become still in the

night.

A solemn prayer nests
within my heart.
It grows as you grow,
my little star.

May you shine brightly.
May your light never dim.
May the girl I first held,
the one whose cries
my voice once calmed,
never lose her splendour.

May our bon...

It's funny how the fairytale changes

When you stop believing in the magic.

I'm not even mad anymore,

I just see you different.

You had that halo on,

I swear I thought it fit you.

You played the sweet girl so good,

I almost let...

Can I be your mainstay, by your

side amongst the countless

noises of the world? I promise to

love you through them all—not

only as the man that I am, but

as the son I will always be.

It is considered the first, the last, shall be the first once again
