let me drown myself in music
as if the words are water
from the salty blue sea,
flooding my lungs,
losing consciousness,
simply drifting away

the ocean seems peaceful,
safe and calm,
the thought of drowning
is comforting

the ocean is where i belong
where i was born
and where i will die

i was a boy who drowns
in another life

My Friends, They Teach Me Many Things

My Friends, They Teach Me Many Things

beer sonnets
and mis managed
bonnets

make sure
to ensure
my un-balanced

sobriety

my friends
they
say the same,
the same
old tune -

whats better than being drunk?

being dead drunk

morning for I
us; we

is a simple fact
of endurance.

ten hard-boiled eggs
and a boxing match
with an existentialist gaze

if one and one make oneself,
one can see
that the multitudes that we are
only together

is undeniable

as a boiler maker

at dawn

Sea

Sea

I am the deep, the sky in reverse
I have what you seek, for better or worse

I am the blue of infinite depth
I've swallowed the crews and cleared the decks

You are afraid or maybe intrigued
Of the place where you played and also was freed

Kiss me now like you did before
Give me your vow and the ocean is yours.

can't live without you...

can't live without you...

without you,
time is moving
a bit slower
lights are fading
a bit quicker

without you,
days
never
seems
complete

everything's changed...

Constellations

Constellations

My fingers dance across your skin
and small constellations I trace;
There rests Aries on your collar,
and Andromeda frames your face.

Though you’ve labeled these stars a flaw,
I can’t stop myself from thinking
Aphrodite herself did bring
these small constellations to being.

you are beautiful!

☽✩ On the Moon ✩☾

Tears bestirs the moon
Heart dangles as willow weeps
Cruel, her love short lived

Another mini haiku from my journal based on the Chinese myth, Chang'e. 💜
So many variants but beautifully melancholic and tragic no less.
If you haven't already, please watch Over the Moon which is a retelling of the story. Great songs, Chang'e's costumes design is sublime [I love Guo Pei's work!] and a lovely tale.
Always and Forever is one of the most beautiful songs sung with her love, Houyi.
As always, thanks for the support! Yall are amazing and blessed.
Stay safe and well out there!
Much love,
Lyn ***

Broken heart

Broken heart

For some
It look like an ancient castle
With rumours of ghost
Of those dead traitors.

For some it look like an
Empty playground
Where once were cherished memories
Now turned to a barren land

For some it look like the carnival
rides
With no functioning and broken
seats.
Rollar coster is frozen with cold snow.

For some it look like a old school
With broken rooms
That were once filled with children
Selfless smile.

Recently I Met a person with a broken heart. Who doesn't believe in humanity
And I want to help him.
But don't know how...?

i hate that whenever i fall asleep,
you're in my dream,
i've been awake for three days,
to avoid you.
