life is serious
living not, enjoy its ride
once upon a time

Your gaze was poetic
but the smile that followed  
was pathetic.

The clouds are the blood

of planet Earth, my mother --


the blood of my blood.
Collection "Being"
I yearn for things
that I desire,
and to these thoughts
at the end of the night,
it forever keeps me up
beneath the clouded
and desolate sky

I can't help but,
to grasp
the glimmering
dewdrops of the sky

in the end,
we're all alone tonight
a different version of the first one.

Dear self,
In losing you

Days seem blurry
Nights seem scary

Heart grows weary
Eyes turn teary

I lost the merry
I lost the power to write my story
[ A
straight line is the shortest distance between
two
points ]

A
text
a
call
even!!!
a
dream

does my soul
suit
the
demographic
of
your being

are we
two of a kind
do we
share the same heart

are we
closer in person
even!!!
poles apart

In our quest to find a soulmate
Do we tread
a
crooked line
How are we as individuals
positioned
in
the
Cartography
of being.
