all these wars are just its own

Greetings!
raphæl Jan 2020
As you sit down the porch
you feel the waking warmth
of the vessel on your palms

Your eyes are still blurry
barely drawing vaporized spirits
An aroma pierces
through your sense of smell
to the brain;
like the sun's rays
slowly melting the clouds
painting a promising sky

Then comes the first taste;
your body heats up
heart roaring faster
like a machine
getting ready for action,

and at the last gulp
you slowly hang your feet
to another seat
as you begin to depart
from your dream state
to a bittersweet reality.

"This is what I'm going to do today."

The greeting of
a morning coffee.

All kinds of kinds
raphæl Oct 2018
Why do we ask for discounts
  from small businesses of
    aspiring people
  but flaunt about the price tags
of designer clothes?

Why do we celebrate the pain of
  hit sad songs but not those
    troubled people
  who wrote them
and their real stories?

Why do we hesitate to show
  our feelings towards our
    favorite people
  and resort to wasting
precious time away?

Why do we subject to our own
  beliefs and constructions the
    boundless people
  and be always ready
to judge and bring them down?

Why can't we be the kind who
  makes this world bearable to
    all kinds of people?

This world is in disarray
Not an opinion
But a fact default in our minds
We are all alone

But this night is beautiful
Not a fact
But an opinion, silently borne
When your eyes speak to mine

I wish you told me more
Not about home
But when all our minds fly
I remember you like this

Play music through this cold ride
Not their rhapsodies
But just this one song
The only one we'll ever know

Seize the time we are out of
Not tomorrow
But tonight, you saved me
And this is enough

a long hit puts my
lungs to knots as if telling
to love is to hurt

The moment she came
raphæl Apr 2023
...with an alluring smile
a beautiful gaze of danger
That put me at home
with a familiar stranger

...with tired old feet
back from a dim pathing
That took my own pair to walk
without the fear of not knowing

...with present ears
assuring, as if they know
That I yearn to speak my heart
though not a word ever flows

...with a bold voice
words of calmness and strife
That conclude the question
'will this be an empty life?'

...with stiff trembling shoulders
sweating to take me all in
To a delicate world
where desire is not sin

...with succulent lips
that whisper like morning rain
I know they'll teach me love
for I know the pain

...with eyes closed
in a second of eternity
As I saw her
she saw me

— The End —
