Isn’t it weird
to be unable to see the rain
at one angle
but able to see the thousands of streams of it
at another?

Isn’t it weird
to see your name on a book
at one angle
but then not see it
at another?

Isn’t it weird
to love someone wholeheartedly
at one angle
but stop loving them
at another?

Isn’t it weird
to imagine looking at the most perfect angel ever created
at one angle
yet see the devil and his sharpened spear
at another?

oh look
the rain stopped
i'm not sure what kind of thoughts i have when i get bored, but have a look at what i think about

the
Light in You:
brimming (my) heart
imprinting my (soul) with magic
feelings only dreams (can) paint; i am
soon subsumed by the (Light) of your rays
(the moon) dances behind your eyes
you are (all i)ts bloom and rise
with you there's no (need)
for a clever disgu(is)e
i will meet (You)
on the other
side|
my soul can light the moon;
all i need is you

The morning after
nothing goes my way today
fights so unnecessary; thoughts so pointless
i recall the scenes so scattered

Whistling tones, heavy bass
recreating a life full, of wonder
of the unexpected
of new experiences

Down, down, down, down
it goes further and deeper
into my veins
i long for it

blurry lights, red hues
spread across the room
rendering my vision blurry
slowly it keeps deteriorating
- please stop yelling -

out, out, out, out
it leaves my dreadful system
tracing itself into the dark
flushed away from my chaotic self

Back to proper consciousness
i regain my position
i step forward to reclaim my title
of keeping everyone at bay

Misinterpreted phrases enter their ears
the stars dance in their eyes
drunken thoughts collecting inside their head
misleading scenes play in the corner of their eyes

The morning after
the dreaded things i have to clear up
still they don't understand, they push me forward
to the centre of the stage, waiting for my play of explanation

Why are the mornings without the headaches
hardest to live through?
i didn't even get a hangover

Quiet down—
Let the rumble come to a stop,
Let the noises drown,
Let your body take a drop.

Into the ocean of wailing whales
and silent sails, drifting
abruptly upon the
golden coast sea

Open your eyes
water’s rushing into your lungs;
Your hands flail
but halts
Floating amidst the dark bed below.

Vastly stretched views,
the sun rays penetrating the surface
giving you your glimpse of hope
beyond your dark, blue, cold endeavours.

Quiet down —
Let your body phase into the air,
Let your heart be found,
Let yourself find love to bear.
Opening up can be hard. This is what I feel like whenever i'm stuck.
