23 Translating feelings into words. / Breathing through poems.
Hidden heart in a cage built of loneliness, and sad bricks far away where skies and oceans meet. Its starved cause it demands too much. Ripped apart, stitched alot to bear miseries again. Leaked and smelled of sweet honey that could drown enemies in love, squeezed dry to pour in loveless hearts. Rotten and reeks of tears that cries no more, and scars that darkens day after day. The heart feels pale, almost gone, and afraid of the torture it would suffer next. The wooden rods— only home the heart's ever known, clueless of the moon's face, and the colors the sky wears. Not even one aware of the air it breathes in a caged room heavy of sorrow and grief. The routes to the island, the key to the caged gate— none found, never made.

Caged Heart
My dreams were burning, evaporating into the thin air, screaming for help. Their eyes innocent as infants pleaded to not let go, to hold on to their soul. I couldn't put the fire off. I couldn't save them. They rain down my eyelashes and cheeks. I want them to come back to me.

Dreams
He accused me of a crime, a crime so impure my soul almost puked on me. It settled on my skin like a verdict written with permanent ink. No eraser can ever erase it, no pen can ever rewrite it, no king can undo it. You believed me that I am untouched was a false truth I built my identity on. I collapsed when you handed me the real tale of myself, a tale I didn't know I live into— a ***** disgusting one. It makes my skin sink into the colorless pit of endless shame, as if peeking out would burn me, as if breathing out the pit would suffocate me. You were so beloved to me— I held you dear, until I realized you never trusted me. Don't take me wrong— I don't hate you, I would never. You just don't exist anymore. It hurts. But you're gone and I don't want you to return.

Permanent Ink
Mother, I want to rest in your hugs, I have gone blind searching for your touch. My ears are burning, could you soothe it with your sweet hums? I yearn to be next to your heart, O mother, just like my brothers and little sisters. Your lap cradles them to sleep with a smile so pure I almost melt— but when I lay my head, frustration fills your eyes. I wish I could be one of them whom you love.

One of Them
I want to dig the ground hollow. I want to tear apart the skies. I want to find my home. I have been trying to mould a home out of dead walls and lights– pretending to be alive.

Dead Walls
The numbers on the wall clock drowned in the sand and the seas . Dreams left without traces; without goodbye notes. I ask the oceans if they hid the numbers; neither knew. I ask the streets the address to my dreams; they don't know either. I am lost. I don't know if its the sun or the moon in the sky, I don't know if I should take a U-turn or go beyond.

No Address
I miss you; Mother, father. Although we sleep in the same nest, eat from one tree, chitter on that thick branch that blooms with green leaves, I still miss you. On the same grass we walk; your feet on cloudy grass, mine exiled from the skies and stars. Under the graceful moonlight we rest; your moon so beautiful, as if ocean polished it, mine never whole, as if sick of the feathers I wore. You build the nest for me. It's so strange; I breathe the same air as you but couldn't fly to the greenish clouds you walk upon, never smelled the moon that leaks the innocent perfume. God, I tried, I tried to hold your hands, but maybe I was a lazy coward terrified of staining your hands, or perhaps I was never allowed to hide beneath your shadows. You are king and queen, I, a servant beside you and I still miss you. Where are you? I love you both.

The Same Nest
Would you have the same glittering, loving eyes you have for your son if I were one? Would your heart soften and trust if I committed the sins as your son did? Tell me— why do you have me when you can’t love me as your own? Of course, my being aches to be a boy.

If I Were Your Son
I guard your honour at the cave gate, in a forest full of wolves and vultures, alone and afraid. I wait for you, and all you do is accuse me of stealing what I try to save. Guess, I resign. I will fade in the cities.

Cave Gate
You told me I am unworthy of love, and now you want me to love you. How do I take you to its door? I don't have the map.
