A love so great
Erik Luo Oct 2020
You felt that pain
More and more and more...
til you realized
the love it was

Oh, how much love it was
so much that it hurts
That you loved as pain
and suffered as love
over and over
forever

til the two becomes one
and ends
In a love so great
that it stopped existing...

Then it begins again
Repeating, growing, loving, hurting
Even more
Infinitely
Endlessly
As you
It’s all love.

Lotus in the rain
Erik Luo Oct 2020
You are like
a lotus in the rain
standing, under the grey sky

but still, your shine is so bright
soaking in,
every drop of pain

and turned them into
the love,
that fuels
your flowering
You are so beautiful

Self-Love-Self
Erik Luo Oct 2020
I looked at my hand
and saw an infinite void
Flowing and merging
with everything, in time

The existence of this being
is unexplainable and unspeakable
It flows and waves into everything
like a hug, or kiss, embracing

The music we play
The art we make
The things we love
The things we hate

All are flowing in and out
Of this being
Like a great machine
Pumping and ******* itself
On repeat

The people we meet
The people we love
The people we hate
The strangers you’ve gazed

Are all flowing,
In and out of this being...

It’s like falling in love
And being in pain
At the same time

It’s like being all the stars in the sky
And every single grain of sand,
At the same time

It doesn’t speak
Yet it's all that we've ever said

It knows nothing
Yet, it is everything

Being it...
Being you...
Being me...
It is all we ever wanted

Cosmic rainfall
Erik Luo Sep 2020
The rain has fallen
For eternity and more
like crying
From both joy and sorrow

If you take a sip
of that sweet drop
You feel the cycle of life
and falls, deep into its trance

The moment happens for you
To realize what it’s all for
Through all the struggles and pain
You finally begin to see why

There is nothing to worry about
For no matter what you choose
No matter what you do
You are moving towards love

It is inevitable
Stopping is impossible
As time flows
You become more and more

The meanings and games we play
It’s only to make us love more
For when the end comes
You will see just how much it was

How everything happened
For love
There’s nothing to worry about, follow your heart and love now

You
Erik Luo Sep 2020
You
The stormy night below the shadow
of the heart of your gentle soul
That has passed a thousand voices
of these endless whispers from you

The dreams of heaven are taking over
the sea of clouds, moving
As they danced, they laughed,
and cried a little rain

What is here, you asked
With great wonder and confusion
You are here, I said
And smiled at your heavenly existence

As it falls through your eyes
it reveals
That you are this unknowable being
With infinite love and endless dreams

And then you said to me
with a faint echo, through eternity

I love you...
You are love
Sep 2020 · 34
Just be
Erik Luo Sep 2020
It’s easy to compare yourself
and feel lack
But know that
there is no absolute good and bad
The things you are going through
Are giving you something
that others don’t have

Every point of the journey is beautiful
And wherever you are on it
Follow your love
And just be
And enjoy
Life
I hope this simple one makes you feel better.

The beauty of sadness
Erik Luo Sep 2020
When you are sad
And you hear the rain dropping down
You might feel it in your heart
Like a crystal sound, glittering around

When you are sad
You might see that sunset
And feel the melancholy of the purple clouds
And see the birds flying around
Singing that gentle song

When you are sad
You might taste that sweet wine
And slowly, seeping into that sorrow
With great joy and pleasure

When you are sad
You are sad
You are...

Sadness has so much depth
That you can enjoy sometimes
It turns and moves in your heart
Like the waves crashing down

As you reach its depth
You might find that you are
Bewildered by its beauty
And begin to see
The love
that’s hiding beneath
I hope this makes you see sadness differently
Sep 2020 · 32
Always here
Erik Luo Sep 2020
I swear
sometimes I can hear you
Talking to me in my dreams
So I kept on dreaming
hoping that
I will never wake up

I swear sometimes
I can feel your gentle lust
Like sudden pulses of electricity
Flowing through my body
Aching for more

I swear sometimes
I can feel your love
Deep in my heart
Like the sun
so whole and warm

Yes
You are always here
Like a part of me
that never sleeps

I feel you so deep
Deep inside of me...

Yes
I love you too
Sep 2020 · 64
A silent whisper
Erik Luo Sep 2020
Never be afraid to love
Never be ashamed of love

Stand in the light of love
And you will always be protected

Always...
I love you
From you to you

The mirror of essence
Erik Luo Sep 2020
A moment of irreversible glace
happened when our eyes met
It stopped the flow of time
and I was gone, with you

For a moment
we are one

Complete and whole

My eyes became yours
and yours became mine
and we saw each other
with nothing else inside

It lasted for eternity
and when we came back
we just knew
we love each other
we are each other

but this ego-mind
who have been hurt so many times
cannot believe in such love,
in such joy and happiness
that I am this beautiful
I can't be

Like a mirror, they show you the truth
of who you are in your essence
but will you have the courage to love
with such purity and innocence?

It makes you deeply afraid
of what it all means
It makes you question your mind
of who you really are

You might run away
or try to escape
But in your heart, you know
you are already one

so eventually you learn to surrender
to this miracle of love
and if you have healed enough
you might be able to make it last

And unite in a world
where you are so whole and happy
that you can love unconditionally
that you can love everything

because
that's who you are
Sep 2020 · 41
Wherever you are
Erik Luo Sep 2020
Wherever you are
I hope you can find
The love you deserve
The peace you desire
The flowers you dreamed of
And the happiness you live for

Wherever you are
I hope you can let go
Of the pains you held on to
Of the fears you cared for
Of the hurt you remember
And those deep sorrow

Wherever you are
I hope you can see
The light in the sky
The moon in the water
The stars in the night
And all the beauty in this world

Wherever you are
You are not alone
We are all here
Singing this song
Playing our part
Of this existence

Wherever you are
Say I love you to yourself
Because I love you
I will always love you
I am you
to whoever needs this right now
Sep 2020 · 39
Falling
Erik Luo Sep 2020
I’ve been falling for eternity
But I feel a sense of serenity
Because I know you will catch me
So I kept on falling

Surrendering to it all
Surrendering to your heart
Surrendering to your love
Surrendering to your being

I’m not afraid anymore
I feel the wheels turning

I’m ready to make it work
Whatever it takes

As I fall into you
Into your loving embrace

I can and I will
Success is assured
The path is cleared
I’m ready for you
I’m ready for love
I’m ready.
from you to you
Sep 2020 · 212
A requiem of surrender
Erik Luo Sep 2020
Lying in this silent pain
Hearing the words of that navel chain
Words forming in a swing
Making me surrender all my dreams

I said to you
What is this feeling
As I fall more and more into
You and you and you and you...

And me and me and me and me...
Like a cycle it repeats
Singing and talking and cursing and yelling
And crying and laughing and coughing and screaming
And touching and holding and gripping and pushing
And cutting and hugging and kissing and loving
And into others senses, that are foreign and without names

It’s like falling and falling and falling and falling...
And flying and flying and flying and flying...
Forever
And all of this
Forming those tiny but infinite points
Of existence and reality
Of experience and identity

I surrendered more and more
As I became it
All these pain
All these love
All these beings
And I heard that song reached an end
As I gave up all of me
I died and became
Nothing...
Love

The road to bliss
Erik Luo Sep 2020
We are on a road
Towards eternal bliss
It takes infinite awareness
And endless patience

We are always in it
It has no beginning or end
It can be infinitely long
or endlessly short

Like falling down forever
without ever hitting the ground
you might feel painfully afraid
or extremely blessed

We are conditioned
To believe it is long
That we need to run for a while
To be able to see love comes on

The concept of happiness
Is learned without questioning
For why does it need a cause
Or requires something in exchange

The road to bliss is right here
You can feel it in your heart
To know what you desire
keeps you running forever

Unconditional happiness
Is experienced through awareness
Of the infinite brilliance of creation
And the endless beauty of existence

Have you ever thought about
The chances of your existence?
Of all the things you see around you?
Of the infinite causation
it took for all of this to happen?

The existence of heaven is right here
You only need a little gratitude to hear
To finally see everything with love
and never take it for granted for lack

And you get to decide how long you'll walk
To see and feel the love in your heart
And breathe it deep in
through the bliss in the air

What will you choose?
You decide
Because in the end
It's just you walking
Just you dreaming
Just you loving
Just you...
Breathe in that sweet bliss
Sep 2020 · 96
Graceful being
Erik Luo Sep 2020
The sound of your being
Echoed in that faint refrain
Where we were true and free
Until we learn to hide and escape

The great love of existence
Decided to help us learn our own essence
So we were born into the fear
of being our self without tears

To bring balance into this self-knowing
We had to learn to be who we are not
In order to see
that we are who we choose to be

There is a deep and pure state
Where we are free and full of grace
As we acted without fears
We learn to love all that we are

Being in this unity
of all the selves that exist
inside of you from all your dreams
You learned the truth of love and pain

And as you lived,
and loved,
and suffered
You became
This beautiful thing
You became
Who you are meant to be
A simple one, I hope you can be who you truly are
Sep 2020 · 215
The gold in you
Erik Luo Sep 2020
I shall speak to you about that gold
That you held deep inside without being told
It is there since you were born
And it grows every day through your hurt

What really matters
Is not what you have
But what you are
What you choose to be

It takes great awareness
Often through deep pain and sadness
To have the amount of self-knowledge
To be able to love existence

It is a beautiful paradox
That which makes you the most whole
Are all the scars that you have gone through
It defines your essence and completes your soul

I see myself in you
It is so beautiful
And I love you
For your existence

What determines our worthiness
Is nothing but the choice
Of great love and acceptance
Of the beauty in your existence

For that is enough
The taste of your presence
The scent of your being
And the sound of your soul

That’s all I need
You are worthy of everything
Sep 2020 · 60
The sea of forgiveness
Erik Luo Sep 2020
The endless dream is once again here
To sing a song about you, dear
Of how you carried those scars
That was given to you by these tears

Like the rain, it falls
Onto you cheek and down to your heart
It holds the sadness like a hand
Seeping into the depth of your chant

Of where you reside
Ageless and innocent
And once again, it made a noise
Like a cry but without eyes

And then up the spine
Where your mind hides
It holds onto those fears
And it speaks of more tears

Like the dust, it falls down
Onto our soul without a sound
It is only in that light
That we see them materialize

Through that endless flow
we began to forget
Of what was there before
and what is still there now

I hope you can see
The you beyond your heart
The you that knows the art
of hearing the sounds of our hurt

The words that were said
It melts away like the snow
And like those tears, it will drop
Onto the color of your ego

Forgiveness is like the ocean
Through which we felt the passion
Of life and love and existence
Towards that beautiful essence

It is made out of those tears
That we had when we are apart
And as we come together here
We said to each other

“I’m sorry for hurting you.”
And then we moved,
and waved,
and merged
Into love...
I hope this makes you feel better
Sep 2020 · 118
Holy nothing
Erik Luo Sep 2020
Infinite void
Is so beautiful
It took my body
And consumed my soul

Words forming wordlessly
Lights shining lightlessly
Voice speaking silently
Hands touching senselessly

Everything is happening
Nothing is happening
Everything is existing
Nothing is existing

The same time was forming
As we became something
Then in an eternity
Back into nothing

It is a feeling
That contains all of our pains
With joy and love and happiness
In infinite intensity

It can’t be described
It is love
It can’t be understood
It is us

We imagined it
And it became us


We loved it
And we killed it
Again and again
So that we can be it

Oh
How can I ever describe you
I can’t
I am you
Existence is mysterius
Erik Luo Sep 2020
I’m waiting for the hourglass window
Singing a song about a widow
It was sad and kinda surreal
Like a good drink taking over your soul

Time is an actual window
Through which I saw the sorrow
Of the quiet peace in my pillow
Speaking to me about that yellow

Oh, I am here
Waiting patiently.
No pain or sadness
Only being

A glass overflowing
A fruit ripe and ready
A sky perfectly clear
A shadow cool and steady

I dreamed of this moment
over and over again
I know you are coming
So I called your name

What I seek is already here
Through the infinite waves of endless love,
I felt you in my body
And I breathed deep into my belly

In eternity I sit
Hearing your voice calling
So far yet so close
As I disappeared,
Into you...
Sep 2020 · 39
A dream
Erik Luo Sep 2020
I dreamed of that golden light
In a mist of pure night
As these thoughts flowing through
Consuming my love, for you

Life is never a straight line
Through the ups and downs
We heard that voice
It tries to pull you down
Into that void

I feel it often.
But it doesn’t faze me
I let it wash over me
Knowing that it is my own doing

Life is more interesting
When you can be sad sometimes
When you feel painfully afraid
Or when you are lonely and depressed
Like the wind it will pass
And maybe leave you with something to ponder,
some time to wonder

It fuels me with inspiration
A pure and deep desire to make
Something that is beautiful
To turn it and give it more light
So I can see it without my eyes

I’m tired
I go to sleep
And I dream again
Of all these pain and joy
Haha, of course.
This is it
Aug 2020 · 101
Total Clarity
Erik Luo Aug 2020
To see through that foggy glass window
I jumped over the upside down rainbow
From a place of pure heart and sorrow
With eyes that shined without halo

To see the flow of karma
As cause and effect made love
With the rivers and chains of life
Building and waving through time

It is a moment
of total clarity
Giving you serenity
and graceful harmony

Crossing carelessly
Crying passionately
Singing voicelessly
Whispering silently

This passion from many selves ago
Bearing the fruits of understanding
Of that unknown certainty
And that clear mystery

Once again I sit in love
Feeling the being of this
Existing without masks
Seeing without pasts
As joy explodes in my heart
Mixed with deep gratitude and love
Of the perfection,
In me
In you
In us
In this
Aug 2020 · 32
Loving Paradox
Erik Luo Aug 2020
The rainbow colored light is shining through my heart
Giving me infinite power beyond all of my doubts
The true faith that was once born from these painful tears
Of the self-knowing,
that, I am all

How can you be afraid?
If you are fear itself?
How can you doubt?
If you are all...

You are so powerful that you cast a spell
Of one, that made yourself small
But when the wheels of the eternal turns
It will reveal all these loving paradox

What is sinking beneath your consciousness
Is so profound that it will shock you
To realize how powerful you are
THAT THERE IS NO ONE ELSE

I have been talking to myself
Touching,
Kissing,
Lying to myself

I am...
You are...
We are...
Love.
Aug 2020 · 41
Full Circle
Erik Luo Aug 2020
The full moon is smiling at me tonight
As the gentle wind kiss me good night
The sorrowful cloud is passing through
Slowly and lovingly, away and apart

Feeling the air flowing into my body
As that sweet bliss takes over my veins
The awareness of that deep knowing
Of where everything is going

You kissed my heart
With so much love and joy
It opened a path
Towards that guiding moonlight

There are times
Where everything is perfect
You are exactly where you are,
where you needed to be

There are moments
Where everything starts to make sense,
where you come full circle in life
and realize what it all means

Tonight is one of that kind
Where stars and planets aligned
Where your faith becomes blind
And your love becomes unbind

That long awaited clarity
Is once again here
You feel this In your heart
All around your being
And sighed,
at its perfection

Oh you

I love you
Aug 2020 · 64
Beautiful Being
Erik Luo Aug 2020
Infinite love
Is all around us
In the depth of this path
We saw the darkness in us

But perhaps
We hugged each other
And maybe
We kissed without knowing

As you walk down the street
Can you hear their laughter
Their sorrow
Their love for you

Like that ray of sunlight
Or a touch of that raindrop
Or a shade under that green
Or a breath on your skin

Oh you beautiful being
Can you feel it
Can you feel the love between us
Can you feel your own touch
Holding on your heart
Kissing it
Caressing it
Loving it

Like that wave
It beats to our pain
And as it washes over
We can feel
just how much love is in us

There is so much
So much that we killed
So much that we fought
So much that we cried

Oh you beautiful being
Through anything and everything
My love for you is endless
And maybe you can see it
One day
Aug 2020 · 67
Only Silence
Erik Luo Aug 2020
The line of light from that morning glass
Is singing a song about us
It cries sometimes for this tender love
And will soon die under the natural path

For the fire that burns in us
We dreamed and lied for love
Yet when the rain pours down on us
We can only see the silhouette

In that dark silence
We questioned the light
And perhaps it doesn’t matter
Where all this end up

There are things in this life
That can’t be explained or understood
Something so fundamental and divine
That it disappeared and unified
Deep into our being
Into our soul

In that valley of darkness
I await you as nothing
No need or desire
Only being
Only love
Only...
Aug 2020 · 61
Perfect Unity
Erik Luo Aug 2020
Seeing the city light shining under the moonlight
As the gentle wind wash over our sorrow
The waves hitting over each other
As the dark night takes over

We have seen this before
Of the things that we treasured the most
We fought so hard for it
that it disappeared

The knowing of that place
In the back of your awareness
Where everything is a mystery
Being in one with symmetry

The moment of truth
has hunted our souls
To look past the goal
and see the final miracle

Dreaming asleep
Singing in silence
Seeing your self
Being inside...

I have seen it all.

As we felt the experience of time
We saw a single point
of perfect unity
And we all waved like the sea
Forever, together and apart
Singing,
As we moved towards that nothingness
Growing into each other
Existing
as one
Being
Aug 2020 · 47
Metamorphosis
Erik Luo Aug 2020
At the tail end of every beginning
Lies a beautiful ending
Where the mystical magic flows through
And the cynical laughter of that which remains

The tides of our life
is flowing as we wave through pain
The sense of light
is shining beneath the blue night

Of all that which we dreamed of
This diamond shines the most bright
It contains the mystery of joy
And that sparkle of light

We are often blindsided
By the nature of our own being
To see or face any pain
Without the truth that remains

What the sky sought,
Was there all along.
But as the dark void
We can’t stop...

To see the beauty of our existence
We need to reach an acceptance
Of the cycles that we call life
And realize...
Back to some more intricate writing.
Aug 2020 · 33
Unconditional love
Erik Luo Aug 2020
Every obstacle I face
Is there to push me
towards unconditional love
To love without fear
Without expectation
Without differences
Without conditions

I have infinite love
I am infinite love
I am that which lives and dies
That which dreams and lies

I love
Because I am
To love no matter what
Is who I am
Aug 2020 · 62
Divine timing
Erik Luo Aug 2020
Whenever I tried to run
I get a taste of your love
Whenever I want to give up
I feel the presence of your touch

What is this magic
Like I'm running out of love
My mind can’t stop thinking
And my body can’t stop aching

I have nothing else to say
I am completely open
I want to let go
But I can’t

This fire in my heart
Is both painful and warm
I wish you can take it
And make it stop

You’ve been speaking to me
Without saying anything
I am getting impatient
But I don’t know what to do

It’s like I’m living between two extremes
Back and forth without ease
I have accepted my feelings
But I miss you so much

Our love is always in front of me
No matter where I try to escape
I can’t let it go
I want you
Aug 2020 · 34
The power of love
Erik Luo Aug 2020
The power of love
Is unlimited
It can create miracles
With a billion light inside

To be everything and nothing
You feel the existence
As this infinite self
Connected deeply to all

There is infinite pain
But also infinite joy
There is infinite darkness
But also infinite light

Like waves, we all folded
Onto each other as we died
Without time or space
As we accelerate towards that emptiness

It is so full
So whole
So peaceful
So much love
That it kills you

The idea of separation
is eliminated in a fraction
consumed by that illumination
without any desolation

You are there too
Laughing at how we tricked each other
To believe that we are not together
Of course it has to be this way
For the love we felt can't be explained
We looked back at all the tears and sorrows
All the hugs and laughter
And said
Let’s do it again...
Erik Luo Aug 2020
My love
You are strong enough
Is hard to believe
But everything is going to be fine

Turn your sadness into strength
Turn your pain into hope
To see the future unclouded
You must let go

Is okay to be selfish
Is okay to change
For I am here
So grateful and proud

Is okay to let go
And to laugh whenever you can
To know that you are on the right path
And see it unfold

Is okay to not listen
Sometimes suffering is needed
To open your heart
To see love more clearly

Is okay to be alone
For you are strong and determined
To face everything head-on
And be grateful for it all

Those people you want
Will come when you are ready
These lessons you are on
You only need to go through once

In that endless nothingness
I await you home
As we see and feel each other
Only to be in awe
With how everything went out
A lot of reflections lately, so grateful for how far I have come.

Needle
Erik Luo Aug 2020
I saw a wall
Full of busy people
They dreamed of each other
Day and night

But something is keeping them apart
A small needle in their heart
They each held them tightly
Afraid to let go

This needle of self-blame
Is broken by a mirror
It reflects a silent secret
Of how perfect you are

Why must we hurt ourselves
To eat up that pain and regret
To let the thought of peace
Rob the need for growth

Yet from what peace
Can this needle bring
For all that we need
Is to let it drop

Happiness needs no reason
Acceptance needs no condition
Love needs no requirement
Faith needs no question

So drop that needle
And get back your innocence
To be happy for no reason
To be happy
just because you can
I hope this one makes you feel better.

Insecurities
Erik Luo Aug 2020
I used to think
That the world didn’t need me
That if I’m gone
No one will be in pain

I used to live
As if my life was small
And I give away myself
To others I thought about

I used to see
The lack in my being
That I can’t be
What others needed

I used to dream
For the pleasure of their heart
And the love they might spare
To me when I’m down

Eventually
I lost myself
I became
A mixture of other things

It was a choice
To live or to die
What's the point
What is the point?

But l heard a gentle voice
That led me to an epiphany
At the root of my suffering
Lies a hidden questioning

Who am I?
What am I?

Then began the journey
of a tiny hope that lived
To really see and understand why
To really know everything

Years passed
Life has shown me many things
Each brought me closer to the answer
I began to see
The reason for my suffering

I now see
The world as a mystery
It is not known
But I cry at its beauty

I now dream
Of nothing but love
Nothing but myself
Nothing but this

I now live
As a flower in the field
As a being in a dream
As a moment
of love

I no longer think
I just live
And I love
And I am
That...
I hope this one resonates with some of you. :) Much love.
Aug 2020 · 168
You are
Erik Luo Aug 2020
We are who we are
For that we are
If you can see
yourself in being...

Everything is just the way it is
We struggled and survived our own living
But to see love even after all these
Is the reason why we exist

The power we have
is always inside us
The stories we have
is only there to entertain us

Can you see yourself
Without yourself?
To see it as a song
Singing with the whole?

Can you look at your life?
And feel all the events
To feel those cycles and waves
Those breaths and awes?

There is nothing you can’t do
Nothing you can’t overcome
Nothing you can’t love
Nothing you can’t become

You are nothing
You are love
You are god
You are...
Take you time and love yourself
Aug 2020 · 425
Thank you
Erik Luo Aug 2020
Maybe I loved you
But is time to go
The beautiful life is waiting
And I hope you can find it too

The struggles and pain
of our story
is there for a reason
I know

The being of my love
is there forevermore
Waiting
But my body can't be here, aching
anymore

So it's time to go
On this journey
And let life guide me
Through it all

I think I still love you
But I no longer think about you
I'm not over this
But I need to go

Stay true my love
For you are strong and enough
I'm sure you will find
Yourself and love

Maybe one day we will meet
Again but without any pain
Then perhaps I can give you a hug
And thank you
for all that you gave me
God I love writing, feels so good, let me know if it resonates. Take care.

Create
Erik Luo Aug 2020
To become the master of all things
One must become nothing
To let the divine flow through
And let that love dictate

It is easy
To let the mind rule you
To be defeated by fear or logic

The great mystery
is counterintuitive
to let that love be the source
instead of our own words

the brilliant mind of all
is always present
it waits patiently
for you to listen

So let go of thoughts
let go of fear
let go of all that holds you back
and simply be
and create
love
Intuition over logic, sincerity over intention, wholeness over ambition. This is a piece on my creative process

I ran
Erik Luo Aug 2020
I dreamed of you last night
Kissing someone else
I felt a sickness in my heart
And I ran away

Is it jealousy?
Or maybe is the curse of hope?
Am I insane?
Or am I in love?

Either way
I ran
away and full of pain
And then I heard myself from above

I love you
I love you so much
I will always love you

And I cried
And laughed
And smiled
And just sat
Alone
but loved
A simpler one, I hope it resonates

Can you see that light?
Erik Luo Jul 2020
Can you see that light?
Deep inside you
It has weathered the storms
Yet it is still burning

The darkness surrounds it
Crashing it into tiny pieces
But it just keeps burning
Small, but bright

Can you see the love in your pain?
The beauty in your blood
The reason for your loss
And the greatness of your pasts?

It happens so quick you won’t be able to react
When you finally see the love that you have
To realize the meaning behind all of your pasts
And look to the direction of that golden path

It takes a shift in perspective
To see the world as a great act
To realize the perfection in our existence
And accept the flow of creation

The infinite wholeness is always us
It is eternally together and forever apart
As we dreamed of this endless love
We danced in joy and sadness
As love

Like a star, I waited
Erik Luo Jul 2020
It took a billion light-years
For me to reach you
But only to find
The faint glow of your past

How would I ever reach you
If we are moving at the same time
As I chased your light
Only to be left behind

But maybe I need to let go
In order to find that glow
And stop wishing
For you

Maybe I can wait here
For billions of more years
To look at your light
And just be bright

It might take forever
Until the world is over
Yet this undying fire
Can’t seemed to burn out

Like a star, I waited
In the void spinning
Shining my light bright
Hoping that
you will one day reach me

Darkness
Erik Luo Jul 2020
Darkness
Is the shadows of our pasts
To love without fear
We need to see who we are

Sometimes it takes a gentle hug
Sometimes, a journey full of pain and blood
Sometimes you need to feel lost
And sometimes a moment of great love

Through the waves of pain and love
We can begin to see ourselves
Without judgment or masks
Without fear or doubts

The path of existence
Is always heading towards emptiness
As the stars collide and attract
We moved closer to love

In the grand picture of god
All of existence is there to love
To make the love strong enough to last
We created all the pain to feel the contrast

Life is a cycle of pain and joy
As we searched for our meanings and purpose
We slowly moved closer to that love
As we see the truth of our existence
We laughed and cried
For how much we loved
See love in your darkness

A Moment
Erik Luo Jul 2020
Feeling your fingers caress through my head
As the summer breathes wash over my face
Seeing you smile as I lay on your knees
Looking in your eyes with nothing but me

The fiery clouds are dancing around the sunset
As if they saw the greatest love story
To play this song and have you in my arms
And feel your being with all of my heart

Through the nightfall there is our tender love
The great mystery is revealed to us
To the knowing of this lifetime and all the pasts
We realized why we had to come back

The infinite dream has all that we want
But we chose each other
To plan this moment for eternity and more
We woke up to saw
a lifetime of love and wonder
A vision I saw long ago, inspired by a song called About Us by Kisnou

Our Plan
Erik Luo Jul 2020
At the end of my life
I merged back to you
And I look back at all the moments
And stood in awe at its divinity

We have planned this for eternity
To have this perfect experience
To live through our suffering
And see the depth of its meaning

We loved and we cried
We are so grateful and proud
Hope took us through this journey
Of finding ourselves and loving it

The perspective shifts
Like infinite lives folding
Like how we hug and kiss
Moving towards that emptiness

The great story that we made up
Is so beautiful that we all cried
We hurt and loved each other
So that we can be together

Through this infinite journey
Our bond is never-ending
When you become me in the morning
We both see each other in eternity

To that future we will experience
Every moment is never wasted
Every second is added to the whole
To make all the others
infinitely more beautiful

We joined hands as we merged
Our hands and arms holding tight
Like water we become one
And we know this will be forever

I love you
It echoed infinitely
From me to you and you to me
And we become this holy thing
As our being lives and dies
We became nothing

Faded
Erik Luo Jul 2020
It's raining in this cold night
From the cloud that was once mine
I dreamed of that moonlight, like your eyes
As it faded and died without a voice

With you I faded
away into the void
The sweet love of the quiet night
Feeding my desire for that sweet wine

Oh your shapeless love
Faded away from my heart
But with what tear
Will I be there

With what, dear
Will I be there

The sunlight is covering the stars
Like how I covered my heart
Maybe in another life
I had you by my side

But I faded
Away into the night
Alone and full of light
Sad but can't cry

Oh your painless love
Faded away from my heart
With what tear
Will I be there

With what, dear
Will I be there
With you

Suffering
Erik Luo Jul 2020
Feeling desolated
ready to break free
To let out that cry
and sing through the pain

Things don't always go as planned
life is always an unknown kind
The hopes that we held on to
we are afraid to let go

This pain inside my heart
is there to show me my love
No matter what happens
I will be okay

Break my heart over and over
To feel this pain deeper and deeper
To awaken to the truth of my suffering
until I love myself to the very end

The beauty of our lives
is to live and cry
to feel and suffer
but still never falter

I shall swallow what life gives me
I get on my knees and pray with sincerity
To feel more deeply into this suffering
and then release it into my being
in eternity
Jul 2020 · 90
Meditation
Erik Luo Jul 2020
The awareness of this empty moment
Flowing through this living second
Towards that infinite present
Without any desolation

In our heartbeat there is a song
Singing about the love that we share
Hearing the silence of my own mirror
Touching the core of that sacred tear

The seeking of that great mystery
Helped reach our own mastery
Of those crying memories
And this perfect symmetry  

To experience this profound moment
Feeling the love in that silence
To reflect on my own existence
Knowing that...

You're still on my mind
Erik Luo Jul 2020
The lonely city sky is calling your name
For the priceless pain of that childish dream
The purple clouds slowly covered the stars
Reminding me of you in my heart

Walking down this cold and empty street
Seeing your face in the back of my brain
Over the ages of my secret disguise
Reviling the spark of that sweet wine

Oh lover
I am here
But too far to see
To see that fire

Oh lover
I am blinded and fooled
It's too painful for me
For me to see that fire

Seven years later I still dream
Of your smile on that rainy day
To cover my heart and escape the fate
Oh baby,
You're still on my mind

Silence
Erik Luo Jun 2020
The white horse’s name
Is one of many ways
For the poor wish of love
And the red frame with god

The beautiful sea
With people dying
At the expense of pain
And the greed for shame

What can possibly become
Of the cycle that surrounds our name
As death take us home
And fame passed in the brain

Oh mother of all
Can you smell that dying light
Can you taste the flowering eyes
Or touch upon that sacred hand

Help these poor souls
Who has lost the sight of the other side
Maybe soon you will come for them
And bring them to a newer light

Or to that creature of chaos
And the laughter we heard
Was not merely a point of pleasure
But a declaration of truth

And let that river
Flow to the north
Guided by that force
That takes the words...

In eternity we searched
For the love that has been lost
To forget the past
And missed the real act
Of a lifetime with blood
and silence, without us

Sometimes
Erik Luo May 2020
Sometimes,
I don't know where I'm going
like I'm falling
endlessly

Sometimes,
I can't feel the mourning
of my death
and my dreams

Sometimes,
I dream of being
a sheep
asleep

Sometimes
I have a feeling
like the silence
too short

But tonight
I hope
I will see
A new light

I dream of a leave
that will soon be here
and I will wake up


Sometimes
I don't know where I'm going
lost in the world
of desiring

Sometime
I forget my own knowing
for the sadness
that lives in being

But today
I heard that dream we are
together, singing that song

And maybe
we'll be here for one more
one more moment away

I don't know
What could have been

I don't need to




And sometimes
I will imagine
The life of a dream lived

And perhaps
is time
to let go our lie
and see what is here

And perhaps
we have to
let go of
the sorrow

oh sorrow

Maybe we'll
just let go
together, back to one

and maybe we can
just love
more than what we are




Sometimes
I feel the sorrow
and then
I remember you

Sometimes
I live in tomorrow
and maybe we will
meet again

And perhaps
I will know
how to play this song

And maybe
I will learn
how to love without hurt

And I remember you are here

I know we are




Sometimes,
I go fearlessly
into the void

Sometimes,
I will know
how to lie

Someday,
I will feel
the warmth
of you embrace

but maybe
is too far away
A simple one

Eternity
Erik Luo May 2020
Eternity
of this reality
is a song of duality
loving you endlessly

In the void of this dream,
the infinite chain of sacred beings
for the beauty that we have seen
becoming part of that first scream

For what life shall we live?
that's not about the name
of a servant of darkness
or a goddess of love

To the flowers in that dark place
we've known each other ever since
to feel the sense of your endless touch
and jump through that golden path

In the box of the infinite being
lies a piece of nothingness
experiencing love and hate
eternally through infinity
May 2020 · 86
Innocence
Erik Luo May 2020
Let that innocence
of the smiles in the dark
grab the tips of our heart
and throw away the meat of our art

Beautiful faces
over the picture of our verses
like those paintings we saw
in the light, without

The stream of that red gold
flowing through the middle
of something truly evil
Growing with all of our souls

Yet I cannot choose
To see the world with that face
or to let the dream disturb
the white horse's path

Dream on, my friend
To let go of the river that cried
and face the truth that died

Together,
maybe

Will you see me there?
