Two people shining
So brightly, you would think they
Are partners in crime:
But as reality goes,
Their hearts are as far as stars

—a.c
I love Japanese poetry; honestly, the briefness of their style is what really touched my heart—it leaves a sort of questioning feeling that makes one want more.

Entering a new realm,
Things all around you see
That couldn't help but overwhelm

May it be as magical as a hippocampi
Or dark as the waves of sea at midnight
Or bright as a metal reflecting on sunlight
Or gardens filled with flowers that are ever so lovely
Or like a hay lost in a pile of pins
Or a place full of fragile ruins
Maybe like an old greek tragedy?
Whatever it may be,
It sure is more intriguing than reality

And as you go back:
All the images pulling back.
And as if with a snap,
You are back.

You close your eyes
engulfing yourself in the world fantasized
Everything vanishes;
And open them again,
You slowly see the world crystal clear then
two glasses making a clink,
As the ringing noise fill your ears:
you realize
All these realms and ruins
Were just paper and ink.

It takes a little of a push and
pull and I'm already ****** in again.
All my hard work, trying to get
over this but you would
give a tap on my shoulder
and I would be willing to pour
all my love for you (again).

It will come like a landslide
   Rapid, sudden, —as if it were alive
       A heartbreak, defined by teenagers
           is losing your lovers,
But, my darling, it isn't always about love;
   Sometimes it's broken dreams and hidden sobs.
        It's the empty eyes of a child,
           Once filled with joy and delight
talking about what she loves.
    It's the teary eyes of a scientist
        Looking at paintings,
            She never drew.  
It's the eyes that keep looking back
   To the past that lacked.
        It's the hole in one's heart
            That can't seem to be filled. And yet we always thrive
   each day to survive,
       All along
           Unknowingly finding pieces
             that are making us feel one again.

I hope that when you sleep tonight
your chest will hurt a little less,
your tears won't reach the pillow
and hope will bloom in your heart.

Honey, after everything you've gone through,
you deserve to have a good night's rest.
Minimize the volume of that sadness
and heal yourself. You deserve better than this.

I know your heart went through war
with emotions. That you feel things deeply
and I love that about you. But tonight,
I want you to make peace with yourself.

To Ray. I hope you'll remain strong in the tide of waves. I love you :)
