Malaysian half hopeful thoughts on dewy mornings
he was the sort of person who chased loose flyers down the road hoping for a lost letter some lover must have wrote he was the sort of person who could not sleep with an IV drip dug deep into his arm he could not move or run away from nightmares that were not his.

she was the sort of person who ran into glass walls searching of a lover who slept miles away she was the sort of person who could not flip the pillow over to the cooler side she could not hug it and tell herself that everything was fine.

3. i like to think of us as infinite cosmic in proportion measureless by any means individual supernovas greeting each other igniting simultaneously it was compression from which we were freed and when curious scientists ventured into oblivion we were brighter than any shining star in the sky glow worms illuminating the walls of sunken caves hidden somewhere peaceful and ruined like Atlantis or (maybe all these metaphors are just stories to secretly tell you this is how i lose lose myself in your stare it is what i see tenderly sprouting in your eyes)

2. i like to think of us as inseparable thicker than blood the sweet dripping honey in my veins you are what nurtures my nature an avalanche of tenderness that without i would collapse you are the sun rising early on dreamy mornings to my seeded growing heart you are the moon to the longing wolf in my tummy howling softly in the dark you are the words streaming falls of encouragement that leave my chapped lips dry for more you are the ink painting passages of hope that leave my fingertips typing of your allure

1. i like to think of us as discovered found by chance in a boundless sea separate jars floating towards each other it was desolation from which we wished to flee and when salty sailors unearthed us tangled worms on a sandy beach we curled our limbs together under the sun and breeze castaways lost miles in tides of diving love that surely drew us here to an island at the ends of the world of silver sand and sweet coconut trees

Poems to a lover (006)
undo the rusty bolts underlining my frizzy hairline the crummy ones that hold volatile turmoil within my scalp the erratic lunacy playing with my aging brain using the untangled strings to jump rope and play sorrowful tunes for the weeping to harmonize i want you to stick your hands in my heavy head as you would in a flower *** freshly filled with soil dig into the moist compound with your pliable fingers amend the corruptive leakage that toils within my own deceit i want you to avidly turn the soft claying matter how ever you please as you would turn into roads that lead you running straight to me i want you to breathe igniting hope born from the fumes of cigarettes you smoked insensibly into the seeds you wish to discard in this potted cavity i want you to pour oceans of poetic sentiments tainted with gentle kindness from those isolated tears held back in the sockets of your eyes to water my wilting corpse so it may flourish from your light reflecting gift of life (you resurrect me) i want you to trust in your captivating presence to make me unintentionally smile from your caress will selflessly sprout inflorescent buds of rich purplish-blue flowers with conspicuous green calyxes and even though their coloring is rather insignificant and they can be easily overlooked i want you to know that only you hold the key to this secret pasture that without you there would not be such garden for us to hide

Poems to a lover (005)
as we momentarily depart on this night invaluable seconds turn into slow sailing snails and the bottomless void you have filled comes forcefully undone a coral kissed satin ribbon unwinding to pull you back into my arms as we momentarily depart on this night unforgivable distance splits our bodies apart like microscopic amoebas holding on to a never ending current of flight we might be identical beings running in opposing directions (at this point in our lives) but our souls know better that soon will come a time where; our flesh and bones will reunite where; our lonely days will then be yesterday's moonlight

Poems to a lover (004)
Your parted lips do not taste Of sugar nor of salt Neither these thorned roses nor stormy seas My ****** angel, Could ever compare To thee Your parted lips do not taste Of sunshine nor of glare But of the blazing almighty Sun itself (the divine source of light at a noon's twelve) Blossoming blisters on my tongue Erupting volcanoes are the pores on my skin at your touch You do not taste of regret But of promise from the past A mystery that sipped in through murky wine you are dark disastrous delight at first & at last Unbelievably (mine)

this is not a poem
If I swore to tell you           (wild eyed and breathless) of what lies inside my pandora's box     the blue velvet decaying     under my flesh           the whispers in my head           like supple breeze           through follow oaks              (eerily adrift) would you still dare hold me at the dusty ledge of this 85-storey high building (my crumbling paper body) as the concrete cracks submissively and the walls fall apart instinctively because i would give up the last of my flicker to light your final cigarette and make your lonely bed warm If i held your echoing heart                    in my hands   (with frantic devotion) as it throbs rhythmically in these fire brick palms    propagating at a frequency    of long found anxiety a dim soul trapped in an antique olive wood clock (tick tock tick) would you dare still trust me to dance with those charred demons (your most profound secrets) the ones sworn to be memories of disgust the bad taste at the back end of your tongue buried deeper in the Earth for Hell to bare and hoard because i trust you to embrace the flaws we share and tears we didnt (but most of all) the discovery of our story rapidly unfolding in this unashamed polluted atmosphere
