Take a sip / let’s say bitter acknowledges the roots of my tongue / stepping over my taste buds / tingling over milky sweet dirt / flushed adrenaline like water and soiled hands // let's say milk mixes with my apple-strided heart / fill in the VSD and soften the calluses / can an apple regrow? A fruit is it not? / fragilely mush, reverting rot // let’s say it cradles the blood in my veins / melting my celiac-bound leukocytes / none fonder for the umber / and I will cry / rid me caffeinated tears / with no other pool of puddle. / this bitter. hugs me afloat

How to drink a Person – Cafe au Lait
If tomorrow starts without me I want you to look at the stars See how they dance in the milky way So then your memories will stay If tomorrow starts without me I want you to listen as the birds chirp Listen how they sing lullabies Let my voice be present in your mind If tomorrow starts without me I want you to remember everything Know that I was lucky Note that I died happy

Without me
I've never saw such vibrant waterfall before, Took off my clothes, left to dive in, Ventured the silky blue till the bleak red, Watched the paints washed together, before Bask myself beneath the glowing yellow. Only this time I had hurted my gaze, I saw no more silky and bleak hues, No more fluids, or glowing light. I blinked once, then twice, Through my eyes, The pitch black waterfall became, Nothing I could recall, As the girl looked at me, Like the empty space I saw.

Dementia
Pixelated in memories Empty picture books A face long gone A smile without eyes A touch without heat Nothing when you leave Everything when you left

Remembering
We were friends, once. A rock is sturdy, it's strong against assaults, Identical to you, on terms of disputes. Apologies can be accepted even insincere, However so, you never tried, live without regrets. Insults are foolish, it breaks spirits like sticks and bones, Call me "degenerate", give a grin then depart. Fool yourself, convince I've got nothing to say, But the silence is my giveaway.

My Giveaway
The flower that blossomed too quickly, Nor the fruit that ripened too soon. The flower that bloomed for the tree, And the fruit that ripened for both equally, The tree didnt mean to give more than needed, Its nutrition, its air nor its water Its roots, its looks nor its tendency. For it had not learned how to be, The tree a flower and a fruit should need. As it is trying best from what it received, When it was a fruit, a seed from another, That had given it more than flowers preserve. The misguided tree, nurturing the future, Hoping to heal, And grow as it ventures.

Generational Curses
I started to speak to the grass, Yet the breeze gave the reply, I went ahead and screamed to the land, Still what came back was an echo, I want to sing and sing out loud, Hoping it would reach underneath, But just the soil in between, Separates the body of you and me. I hope you know how I miss, The words I wish to emit, So I kept singing and singing– Until the melodies grew hoarse. But what you heard wasn't music, It was the crawls of maggots.

Desperate Longing
I'm sorry for bothering you, Never meant to I'm sorry for annoying you, Didn't intend to I'm sorry for angering you, Never wanted to I'm sorry for trying to.. Make you love me too.

Apologies accepted
Hey you I sat on open trees The sun in the sky The birds in the air With branches and leaves Blazing rays hid above the trees Dared not to hurt me But I cared none Hey you I sat alone With all those laughters Nothing but conversations All around me The birds flew as they sang Soft breeze brush the skin Although it gave me music Silence was all I cared I kept waiting for a silent melody To come by, to fill my world, but it never did I guess to you, I'm just a friend

Hey you
Me with Mr. Moon Time's fleeting so soon Trap in this starstruck view Till come the morning hue Me with Mrs. Sun Waiting till she's done Her fiery flames so bleak She shines at her peak Me with my dearest Star Dancing from afar It feels like an endless dream Right for my heart to keen
