the sun is gazing at me
though tried, but still on me
i look away
i run away
still, the sun is smiling at me

memory is cruel
the way it just sits there
mocking you
as the simple familiarity brought back to me by the simple smell or gesture
the comfort that it brings,
and the heart drop i get once i remember what happened
but no matter,
i don't want to forget you
or the way we would laugh at the stupidest things
nor the inside jokes created
that we still find the courage to tell
something left behind not allowing us to truly forget

Sometimes,

Runny mascara is needed
To clean off your face
Define your own tears
And they'll never go to waste

These are the hands that will guide you to greatness,
These are the hands that will stay through the years,
These are the hands that will celebrate good times,
And these are the hands that will wipe away tears.

These are the hands that will love you forever;
When you are weak they will help you feel strong,
And, right now, since these hands are entwined together
These hands are precisely where they belong
Recently I was asked to write and perform a hand-binding wedding ceremony for two of the loveliest people I know while I was dressed as a dragon. It's definitely one of the best things I've ever done, and I doubt I'll ever do anything like it again! This is the poem I wrote for the special moment.

my life line moves across
your chest
your love line inches towards
my lower back
reading your palms
under the thin covers
summer air blows into our hair
permeating the smell
of grass and warm flowers

we embrace
the unknowable future crushed
between our palms.
reminds me of romeo and juliet when they first met, they fell in love through touching their hands.

We live in a small world,
Yet I only see you in my dreams,
We stare at the same stars,
Yet we are far away.
We have never met,
Yet I miss you more and more everyday.
Lonely nights made me question myself,
Are you real or are you just in my mind?
