The path of our soul
is drawn between time
To the flower of the eternal
and the water of now

To what flow
shall we see the color
Of the suffering that carries us
and the beauty we saw

To what shadow
shall we chase tomorrow
to end our desires
and feed our sorrow

To what effort
shall we let go
to make up our love
or the hate that we spoke

O love
to what length will I go
to show you the void that we know

To be here for the living
or dying to the craving
of love
Erik Luo Apr 2020
Listening in the rain
of the voices of our pain
To survive this night
with enough fear to blame

And what we often said
Before we give space
is the pain that we faced
and the gate that we closed

To what degree of pain
shall take our heart to the grave
To **** the love with fear
and ****** those in the rain

Yet when the gate is free
and the mind is open
we can hear their pains
inside the rain

and as the water fills up our shoes
We can finally hear
the screams of others
and the love they carry

Listening for the first time
The heartbeat of the sea
Erik Luo Mar 2020
Blessed by thy ignorance
is the beauty of our sad love
And the cradle of heaven
has grown to separate the past

The wordless whisper
and the heatless touch
To turn our body over
And spit out our guts

Locking your fingers on mine
Like the sea of wombs and death
The tips of our tongue, moving with ice
Like the fire in our ***,
Unified

The passing of our existence
has more love than heaven
And in our struggles,
we see the touch of creation  
together and apart
as existence...
Erik Luo Mar 2020
And maybe is time
For me to die
Under your arm
With warmth and light

So perhaps today
Is just the time we thought we needed
To be in this place
or time of our dreams
But we are
We are

What is there to say?
we are
We are
We are!
We are!!
We are!!!
WE ARE!
WE ARE!!
WE ARE!!!
we are...

Huge me
So much that I disappear
Touch me
So that I can feel the breath of your hair
Kiss me
Like the water merging into waves
Hold me
Like the arms around you and me

What exists
is like the madness in our dreams
From the darkest thoughts
to the living infinity
There are our cries and shouts
our pains and anguish
But also our tender body
Merging with love
All around us

What I can see
is not what I am
What I can feel
is not what I am
What I am
is that I am
And nothing more

The infinite need for love
and the path that brought our hate to us
are the same path that is leading me to you

The flower that you touch
and the stars that you make up
Are the prove of your existence
the songs of our perfection

Can you imagine non-existence?
In a reality where you exist
Where your body and mind
is all you have ever known

What would non-existence feel like?
Is it cold?
or dark?
or empty?
or alone?

Or is it just me and you
And we are this
And we feel whole
Without you or me

Nothingness
is infinite

And we are
and we are
and we are...
Erik Luo Mar 2020
It is weird
to think about life
as an outsider

But when the nature
of ourself
moved into awareness
The time passed without knowing

Perhaps we don't want to know
The truth about our being
To see or feel existence
without a mask or key

Many have passed
infinite, actually
Of all the secrets and paths
We desired this the most

Being here now
We realized
we know nothing

And that is a blessing
For the love we have
can't be known by any path

The language we use
over time and space
In the hole of nothing, and infinity
We danced, to remember that

And life as a human
Seems so full of pain
To live in the unknown
and cry when we feel lost

Yet
There lies an intuition
that this is what we asked for
That we are the creator

And through those struggles and pain
We moved the stars and the masses
To a place that exists only in now

To realize what we are
To be in this
human
existence

Struggles

Is it the times when we are lost
Or felt too true to love

Is it the creature in us
Or the fire of our past

Is it the water of wishes
Drowning us weightlessly

or the baggage of god
lusting for powers
That has left us dying
Without seeing clarity

I sometimes feel
The need to feel love
And thought of the past
Merged to now

The love that we seek
Has made us bleed
It has killed and died
Through the desire we have

Yet it is love
That is life
Without the struggles
Our love will be mundane
Without the struggles
The happiest will be lost

If we draw a picture
Of our highs and lows
We will realize that all is love
And while I write this poem
We are rippling across to each other
Saying all the crazy things
That we know so much about
That we are
Life
