Far away we are
But at least when we look up
We see the same sky
Experimenting with Haikus

Everyone from here might be millions of miles away, but I take comfort from the fact that we all see the same sky when we look up. We might have a different perspective or opinion on it, but it is the same sky.

You're watching TV
While you scroll on your phone

I'm sitting in the corner,
All alone.

I'm wondering why
You have no subtitles on,

And why these characters
Keep singing some song.

I ask you what you're shows about

You turn around and tell me to
Shut my mouth.

it will be engraved
in my brain,

like the tracks
on the train,

and they’ll call
me insane

but at least I’ll exist without the pain,

in my veins.

I’ll restrain,
I’ll maintain,
I’ll regain.

Sometimes I feel like an alien even when on my own planet.
Sometimes I feel like an alien even when in my own mind.

I am rejected, and dissected,

And left empty

But only by myself,
A hole I dug

In my heart.

Do you know my name?
Or are those just words you call me?

Do I know my name?
Or am I just another version of what we all could be?

Broken down, left skin and bone

Aren’t we all the same? Don't you too, bleed gold?

There is not much in this world I need

Just food, water, and some air to breathe.


And yet it seems in the end, I still find me gasping for breath

Thirsting and starving, forever just a fading silhouette.

you are the fire
burning in my heart

and on a lonely winter night
there is only desire

a candle bleeds wax
as you watch.

it drips, drips down
like the frost on your heated windows.

can you see my face as you look in a little closer

feel my rosy-cheeks
they are not red in heat

do you know of desire?

tell me about the fire.

How strange
Is the Autumn rain

As it all falls down
In October
