If You Were

If you were a star then I lay on the roof
and stargaze at you.
If you were the moon then I would like to
to be your sun.

If you were a song, I would listen to you
until my ears bled.
if you were the air then I would inhale all of you.
If you were a drug then I would like to get addicted to you.

And if you were a house then I would not leave you.
Lastly, if you were my love then you wouldn't have to worry
because I would not look at others since I already have you.

Mistake

Is it a mistake to confess what I feel,
When I already know the outcome is sealed?
All I long for is to hold you near,
Through the night’s embrace and dawn so clear.

Yet pain and sorrow, anger too,
Grip my heart when I think of you.
For in my dreams alone we stay,
Together, where love won’t fade away.
This poem was for my friend since he can't approach the girl that he likes

It was on the morn
A child was born
Coveted with love,
An angel came down
And took your hand
In a shape of a pure
white dove.
A violent rushing wind crept through my bedroom window,
bringing the Brooklyn air and the smell of fumes.

It's not a good combination at all.
When will I learn that the young Gen Z is more frustrated than us baby boomers?
When we are in bed, they are up all night.
When we are fully awake, they are about to lie down.
When we try to reach out to them,
They get annoyed easily.
Should we fold or unfold to the madness of this so-called new generation?
Fold to the madness of the new generation.

“a sadness evoked,
a yoke around the neck,
the love peck on the cheek,
the cry, and alibi,
the coming together
of word and emotions spilling dreams,
how magical you stream
words into waves
that spill into rivers.
the magic of moonlight
strewn from pen to heart.
