And I wonder
if even the clouds also
have heart.

And of all the things
they could do,
they just made a bridge
connecting one heart
to the other

and
you called it a rainbow.

-

Dear you,

That wasn't a fair barter
and even you know that.

Last night
I clutched the moonlight
lingering on my palm
its crisp beams
dancing against my skin.

If only I had known a way
to pass it down
to my eclipsed heart.

-

Funny. Isn't it? How
after every breakup
there's a breakdown.

Wabi-Sabi ~

-

They said
love creates
endless ripples

I nodded
and let it be tossed
into my heart

Little did I know
my heart has
dried up long ago

-

I tuck some jasmines
on your skin
and stack them on
your spine
It stays so fresh
You look so pretty
I think of you longer than
I was ever with you
I am forgetting your smell
your feel
But the sillage stayed
the mystique
My most quiet yet
echoing friend
I composed you a verse
To thank you
for giving me refuge
when I was waging war
with the world outside
the demons inside
And to tell you
that you were right
everytime you told me
it's going to be okay
eventually

On Days Like This

-

-

A home
in a far off land
with
sour cream walls,
waterlogged
roof falling apart
I wonder

why is it not called
a ruin yet?

A home, my body
I'm a homebody
skin pale
eyes deluged
hope breaking apart
And I conclude

just like
I am not declared
dead yet.
