Our words are monkeys,
swinging from branch to
branch, thrumming
at the barks of mind.

We become clumsy *****,
laying them as eggs,
into the highest tide.

And with oars, we
send them out
to breathe longer,
within the waves.

Falling into darkness
There's no way out
No matter how many times
You scream and shout
The darkness blocks
Everything out
Hide your tears
And face your fears
Time to to stop running
To yourself be true
Unleash that light
Inside you
Do you see it?
How does it feel?
Now heres the magic
The big reveal
It was there all along
Like a tune in a song
Because darkness
Was lights shadow all along
It was always there
My empty surroundings
My bare shabby walls
All gets forgotten
When my true love calls
The roof keeps on leaking
Bound by brick over brick
Still I sit and admire
How much the two of us click
Ash in the fireplace
Mud on the floor
You know you’re the one
That I sure adore
Holes in the staircase
My plumbings caput
But I’d walk with no feet
Just to be kept afoot
where the moon glistens every night
different shades of colour
where the stars dance and sun would burst
where humans can breathe underwater
and fly though the fresh air
where scars heal as soon as you were hurt
