Broken heart
in every moment of despair,
it always happens
every time I love to fear —
fear to love.
But like the shores
wanting to reach the skylines,
I would always be wanting
to bind your lips to mine.

No one falls in love by chance,
it’s by choice;
but I chose to let go
to avoid being hurt.
I tried to hide
and bury my feelings
whenever you are near —
but my heart always fails,
even before,
for trying not to love you
only makes me love you more.

It was a rainy, cold night,
In a room full of despair and hate
when darkness devoured
what was left in my humanity.

As I was blinded and lost
I succumb in fear.
My mind goes blank,
my heart stops beating,
my tears started to fall.

It was not just a bad dream,
it was the most horrifying nightmare after all.

All I remember
is remembering it hurt,
memories are haunting me now
and reality altered into doubts.
The pale moonlit night
is full of futile tears,
crying for the hands
that once held me.

The hurricane in my heart
is crashing down all my senses
and changing those
that was in greater good
into countless worsts.
It is inevitable,
and killing me within,
and I was left nowhere
cursing the wind.

Every bridge I built
was already burned;
the particular journey
of this avowed love
is now over.
And all I remember
is remembering it hurt.

We born to live
But all we do is survive

We grow playing with dreams and hopes
In a beautiful and unknown world
But the more we grow the more we know
And that's the closest we get to dreams and hopes

The defaults of beauty shapes
We all learn like apes
But to see beyond aesthetics of guise
It takes more than a simple pair of blue eyes

There's a phony order
There's a deceiving system
All I want is a truthful disorder
All it takes is the apes to gain wisdom

We born to live
But all we do is survive**
Some arrive for thrive
and some arrive for strive...

A simple ray of sunlight spread by time
Dodging through the white clouds;
The simple crusade that a breeze
Causes on the white clouds
Make me smile.

For a while I was hostile
But the artless white clouds,
As white as white can be,
Make me smile.

Drinking sensations and drawing vibrations,
Swallowing them as a death star
To the point it befits bizarre
To the point it suits dark

To live is to suffer
To get rougher and tougher
To live is to sin
To discern I’ve been
Witnessing for an exemption of redemption

In this nontoxic home
I can breathe for a while,
I let sensations and vibrations roam,
I write. I smile.

In this nontoxic home
I can see the artless white clouds,
As white as white can be,
I dream.  I smile.

Oh, this nontoxic home
Make me smile,
Make me live.

While I write the dark folds
And the smile unfolds
Existence is not a decoy
To live is moreover to enjoy

On the top of rationality
Remains  an abyss to insanity
That I persist to climb
Until I reach my prime
Until I grasp all the rains in my veins
Until I rein the reins
As I contemplate all the plains
Of grayish fate, thru trees of clocks
Leaves of wish and apples of Eve
Thru rocks weightless as chants
And thru ants and doves verging chess
Hazy mortals with gloves of hate
Lazy and crazy mortals,
In such rare lands of bliss,
Obliterating the glow...
**So, I knead the canvas with my bare hands
And threw myself into the abyss.

Distractions and psychiatry
Helping to cope with the truth
Doctor, tell me the diagnosis
An acute case of wasted youth.

These days spent tethered away
To their life measuring machines
Listen for the steady rhythm,
The weak chorus my heart sings.

My empty eyes are fixed staring,
A weak voice’s whispered begging
Bring me an end to the agony
The pain of my frail body failing.

You are my best trophy,
my prized possession.
proud and vocal,
my lone and superb inspiration

my only satellite,
drifting over my succumb thoughts;
Emptying spots and vague knots,
unveiled and secretly caught.

Take charge my sweet,
we are winners on our own.
I walk at a fast phase,
running my own unique race,

To taste, and sip
into the wine of victor.
Understand and open free,
minds we need to filter.

We dance, we travel,
paralleled and remarkably adjacent,
come and join my winnings
it's us, our present.

I'll be with you at the top
we'll stay with reasons.
stay with my triumphs,
me, your obsession.

I need your dominance,
my deepest pleasures,
we lead and keep up,
love we cannot measure.

Hoping you're with me,
with full understanding,
I am no other man
never used to losing.

I need to be pleased,
as I please you;
stay on the skyline,
and feast on my resource.

I am a man, eccentric,
a pillar at my right,
visionary may seem,
but making my own light.

I am high value
And I want no *****.
Let us face the world as one,
and make me a sandwich.

Pain has no number.
On a scale of one to ten?
It is infinite.

I know you won't remember the first days you were here,
My jealousy was an angry tantrum full of screams and tears.
Before you ever came along I was their one and only.
But if I were to lose you now I would be forever lonely.

Over the years I grew to love you with all of my heart
And then one day he joined us and our trio had its start.
I wished to forever protect you two from every grief and pain
My healthy, happy, baby brothers I wish you could remain.

Jacob, eighteen years have passed since you came home with mother.
Your adventures and comedy have made you our constant entertainer.
Now you have turned into a strong man who is valiant and true;
The Marines have made you honorable and for that I'm proud of you.

And Matthew, it has been seventeen years since you graced our home.
You are more loyal and more caring than any man I have ever known.
A harder working, more determined man would be difficult to find.
Your heart of gold and lively personality make you one of a kind.

I was not always the compassionate sister you both deserved,
But someone with more love for you will never be observed.
I promise to always be there for you no matter what you encounter.
Because I have learned over the years that blood is thicker than water.
A simple poem that I wrote for the two most important people in my life. My brothers and I have been through more together than most people face in a lifetime and it has made us closer than most siblings. I have been a pseudo-parent to them for years and have never gotten the chance to write them something. I am quite lucky to have them!

I hate finding myself staying up late

waiting by my phone

for a call you’ll never make

I hate you

yet

before I sleep

I taste your name on my lips

followed by the words

I miss you

Rejection is a grim reminder,
so I hide my feelings deep within.
If you only knew
I’ve been dying
to grasp just one moment
to talk to you.

I can see you from afar,
I just can’t seem to go near.
My heart is terrified
of irrational thoughts
that might lead me to tears.

You’re waiting for superman,
the one who hurt you.
Thinking,
he can still save you from pain,
yet you never realized
my existence.

I can’t fly you
to distant places
and offer everything
your eyes desires.
But I’m not afraid
of kryptonite,
I’m just afraid of losing you.

They say, to love
is a greatest sacrifice
and to be loved
is a greatest gift.
I guess,
I will be just here
waiting for you too.

he wasn’t expecting my lips to be so warm

nor my heart to be so cold

he wanted to go by what he felt

and not believe what he was told
