I like to see without my glasses
To see the world in a blur
But with newfound beauty

The clearness of things
Often take away their great shape
As the light becomes a halo
they shine, with a million miracles inside

When the world's detail fades
And the sound of light becomes clear

The world feels like a better place
When I see it without clarity

To see faces without their expression
To be loving without any protection

I am more loving
when I see without my glasses

When I see
without judgment

When I love
With all of my being...

To look into your eyes
and not be afraid to look away

That's why I see without my glasses
to see your beauty
entirely

Raining dreams
Erik Luo Oct 2020
Walking,
in the rain

The slow burn
of that refrain

Touching the tips
of my brain

Speaking to me
about that dream

Of you...

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.

The Path
Erik Luo Apr 2020
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

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

The heaven in you
Erik Luo Nov 2020
Your feelings are like
the colors on a painting
Contrasting and mixing
Merging and forming
a holy picture
of the heaven
inside you

It is too divine
to be hidden
or contained
It should be shown to the world
So that others can see
The heaven
in them

Grace
Erik Luo Oct 2020
Dancing at night
To the song of pain
I sang the words
With a loving refrain

It filled
The echoes in my veins
And named it
A moment of grace
128 · Jul 2020
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...

I look at the fire
Erik Luo Dec 2019
I look at the fire
As if frozen in time
The dancing flames
The purple sky

They whispered in the dark
words of love and care
I feel their being inside of me
dancing and moving with the song
So is the fire there
dancing without fear
It knows no heat
and feels no pain

I stared into the light
and let the fire fill my being
With the infinite others
In this moment
for eternity

And maybe my heart is full of love
Or maybe the view is just too true
That my smiles and laughter
Echoed through the stars

This is it
This is enough
This is life
This is us

As my mind fades
My soul merged
I have nothing to say
But being love
As a fire
dancing under the purple sky

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

Star Light
Erik Luo Oct 2020
I dreamed
of that night
Pitch-black
without light

So I carried
the pain
and became

Proof
Erik Luo Oct 2020
It's like a fire in your heart
warm, but doesn't burn
It's like an ocean on your skin
soft, but doesn't hurt

It's the way moonlight touch your face
And how the sun caresses your head
It's the taste of the wind
And the sound of the rain

It's in the green and yellow
of the leaves and grass
It's the blue and purple
of the sky and clouds

It's in the sound of your breath
Almost too quiet to hear
Yet ever-present
Beating away

I often wonder
At the proof of my existence
And then I just sit
In love
127 · Oct 2020
Moonlight
Erik Luo Oct 2020
I talked
to the moonlight

And asked it
to send you
my love
When it reaches
your sky

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
Erik Luo Dec 2019
When the night falls through the sky
And the sea waves through the land
I stood before the light
And saw a darkness inside

When time comes to mind
Colors and senses return
I look down the path of darkness
And walked down, with light inside

Soon I realized
That I was not walking
And the darkness, is the light
With me inside
walking out...

A duality of eternity
With music and dance
All the points of reality
that forged this existence
are beings like you and I

Perhaps we can look at the moon
and drink some wine
The game that we play
are all but one

Let me see you in the mountains
and hear you flying in the sky
The life of us is ending soon
in about eternity time

And when we crumble into that dark night
Knowing all is love inside
Whole and perfect in every way
Living this mortal life
121 · Sep 2020
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
121 · Oct 2020
Love Machine
Erik Luo Oct 2020
Existence
is a love machine
It created everything
to feel love more deeply

When you are sad
It was love that made you cry
And when you are happy
It was love that made you laugh

When you looked at the sky
It was love that made you fly
When you sit in the dark
It was love that brought you light

When you feel stuck
It was love that pushed you on
And when you are tired
It was love that lifted you up

When you killed
It was love that fired the shot
And when you dreamed
It was love that is fulfilled...

Love loved and hated
Love laughed and cried
Love sang and danced
Love fought and survived
Love woke up every day
Seeing the world within
And breathed deeply
To the rhythm
of polarity...

Love is both the question and the answer
Both the dream and the dreamer
Both the past and the future
Both you and others

See it
Feel it
Be it

Then maybe
I will see you again
In that infinite void of love
And we shall become one
And love
Forever
Love is the answer
118 · Aug 2020
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
Erik Luo Dec 2019
I am writing this now
To feel you
And the love between us

Though we have never met
I know you are thinking of me
And I think of you too
Thinking of all the small moments we are going to have
A nap in the quiet summer garden
A dinner at home with wines and bottles
A song that we share to remember our dreams
And a coffee in the morning to just be
With each other
We love so deeply
To see the future
And live it now

I can feel you
Like a ball of love
Dying to come into my life
And live with love

Maybe I am crazy
And maybe you don’t exist
But it doesn’t matter
Because I know
Our love is stronger than that

Across space and time
We have kissed and hugged
Before meeting in this life
We have shared so many others
We grabbed onto each other
And moved so close
That we became one

Maybe we laughed
And thought it would be funny
To not know each other again
To forget each other
And fall in love again

To the girl I will one day meet
I know you and I are meant to be
And I can’t wait to love you
As I love me
More deeply

In time
I shall wait
And be
With you

Palace
Erik Luo Dec 2020
Love said the word
Before it learned its worth
Singing about a time
Where all things were without forms

It begins like this moment
A single verse of exhalation
Through all the troubled places
To the door which I persisted

How we feared that moment
When we unify into another
To resist such a pleasure
To control such a power

But it doesn’t matter
For the grand place of wonder
exists to balance each other
Of all the times we believed others
We knew we are each other

I live for this moment
Where I am between the veil
Of the inner working of myself
Of this grand infinite palace

And as I feel all the joy and pain
I merged
into the love
that I am...
116 · Dec 2019
Live to die
Erik Luo Dec 2019
When the moonlight take your breath away
And the tree leaves shade your light
I whispered into your eyes
With nothing but me inside

When I lay on your lap
And I see the sky
Limitless and edgeless
Existing in time

And when you shine on me
As if my being expands
I sit in silence
And smile without try

So as I die
My self dies
All to merge
with you to one

As I sleep in you
And you sing that song
I begin to dance
With all of my joy

All of your trials and success
All of your hopes and dreams
All there for me
As I become void

There is nothing to say
Only being you
And live to die
115 · Dec 2019
A train of thought
Erik Luo Dec 2019
Life is an infinite singularity in a single point of nothingness.
Art is a mirror for one to see their soul.
Self is an infinite illusion.
Love is an infinitely selfless act with a selfish motive.
Fear is an infinitely selfish act with a selfless motive.
A thing is an infinite nothingness.
Everything is infinite nothingness.
Nothingness is infinity.
Nothing is nothingness, not even space and time.
Good is a single perspective that created bad.
Bad is a single perspective that created good.
All meanings are meaningless.
Meaninglessness creates infinite meanings.
Truth is false within time.
False is truth within time.
Time is causality within space.
Space is infinite nothingness.
Belief is the fear of being wrong.
Being only exist in the present.
The present time is all the time, and it doesn't exist.
Existence does not exist.

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
112 · Nov 2020
Loving sadness
Erik Luo Nov 2020
In the void of the unknown
I faced the dark souls
Of the dreams and hopes
Once left untold

Stranded
On the beach
Dying
Helpless...

I touched the sun
And became the light
That flew across
The sea and land

Until
it hit your eyes
And in a flash
Disappeared
Never to be seen
Again
111 · May 2020
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?
110 · Sep 2020
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
110 · Oct 2020
A breath
Erik Luo Oct 2020
A breath of air
flows into my body
The fullness takes over
all the holes and cracks
And made love,
as it ceased to be
A short one
110 · Sep 2020
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

The Poem of The Ox
Erik Luo Dec 2019
I search for ox of the land of heaven
Swiped and yelled but no avail
I am innocent and ignorant
Blinded by my own existence

Until I look down and see footprints
I followed and ran without attention
Is this the ox of the heaven?
I shall see when I have a glimpse

A glimpse of the oxtail
I ran and chased the ox through the hill
The faster I ran, the more ox I see
Through the battles nowhere to be

The ox I see
And the ox I catch
But its strength
Keep me off balance

Then the ox is tamed
And everything seems complete
But it was the self that cannot see
That the ox was no enemy

Upon that realization
I ride the ox as its friend
I sing the song of love and joy
On the way home to heaven site

I see the ox no longer there
And I let my being run its course
The ox appears in everything
And the self began to pray deeply

I prayed in love and joy
Until the self and the ox merge to one
No more chasing or seeking
Only infinite nothing

As I return to being
The root is now clear
The beauty and love of all things
Colorful and joyest forever without end

So I laugh, and I sing
For the ox is me and all things
I walk down the path of mortal life
And know that there is a heave inside
Erik Luo Dec 2019
There is a light in the middle of the night
It shines and sings the song of heaven
The god of all is right here
Singing this song into your heart

We are all love
It sings through the valley and the sea
We are all one
It sings through the wind and the sky
We are all here
It sings through the night and the void
We are all whole
It sings through the space and time

When I open my eyes
And see the light that shines
I realized what I am
A ray of infinite love
Piercing through the darkness
Into everything and nothing at the same time

When we see heaven
We live in heaven
In the valley of god
In the breath of love
We are whole
We are love
We are...

Being this existence
Through all the pain and suffering
Through all the love and joy
All singing a song of the holy being
Of you and me in eternity
In infinite love, we merge into one
And dissolve into the nothing that we are
A song of infinite love and light
I love you, it said
Endlessly
108 · May 2020
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
107 · Aug 2020
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

Old friend
Erik Luo Dec 2020
Soon after the dark
I walked a mile west
To see an old friend
That I left in the past

He was a fool
Who didn't know love

He was in pain
Even when he laughed

He was selfish
And didn't have any dreams

He was alone
Even when he hugged

Drinking from doubt
It poisoned his mind
He became a monster
That fed on his own flesh

And we were talking about the past
Of all the times we were hurt

And sometimes we sing a gentle song
To reminisce about that

And then it's time for me to go
A mile to the west back
I hugged him tight
And told him to keep the past

And I just walked
Never looking back
Never afraid
Again...

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
106 · Aug 2020
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...
105 · Mar 2020
Existence
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 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.

The being of existence
Erik Luo Dec 2019
The being of existence
is weird and scary
As it laughs and cries
We realize our lives
is all a dream

The being of existence
is okay with dying

And the song of a lifetime
Is never finished singing

As the numbers and pictures show
the light and shadow of us existing

It is crazy
to think our being
exists in the first place

To live under the bridge of time
And die without surprise

The being of existence

Happens to be griefing
over the passing of our life

But at the same time
It smiled with ecstasy

In awe
with the being of existence

In a time
so beautifully lived

Life is a bubble
Erik Luo Dec 2019
Life is a bubble
it is fragile
but beautiful
With rainbows and colors
looping in time

It can break and pop

It can fly and grow

It lives in an instant
Reflecting life
inside the light

It moves up the sky
To touch the sun and the cloud

But dies
without reaching
the dream of a lifetime

Perhaps in the next life
It will take the sky
without breaking its beauty
or life

Growing larger and larger

Until we are inside

And we hear
the music of life
With rainbows and colors

Knowing that
the bubble
will soon pop
and we
will soon
pass

Hoping the next bubble
is just as beautiful

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

Universal clockwork
Erik Luo Oct 2020
When the moon light up the sky
And the sea becomes purple and bright
When the birds sing with delight
And the stars fall through your eyes

It’s all so perfect

When you sleep at night
Or frustrated with life
Or having great success
Or thinking about someone

It’s all so perfect

When you are heartbroken
Or sad and depressed
When you can’t help but cry
Or need to be with someone

It’s all so perfect

Universal clockwork
Is keeping track of your time
And with every moment of pain
Like a seed, they shall grow in time

Into something beautiful and kind
Something loving and full of joy
In time...
It’s all so perfectly realized
Everything is playing out perfectly

human existence
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

Sky
Erik Luo Dec 2019
Sky
When I look at the sky
I say I love you
The blue
Simple but varied
It holds a space
For the sun and the light

As I see halos
Showing me the way
To sky’s idea of play
With the clouds
Changing and moving

It holds a space
As the wind blows
With you under it

It is vast
And if you have the chance to look up
As if the sky is the only thing you see
You will see
Your own body
In that blue ocean of silence

I love the sky
For it holds everything inside
The earth and the space
All wrapped without limits
Perhaps I can be the same
To take in everything without limits
To watch things as I change from day to night
To love with my colors and light
To be
With the stars and the moons

I love you
It said back to me
As I feel the warmth of the sun
And the gentle wind that touches
My heart
Feels as if it is opened like the sky
My being expands towards it
Blue and white
Without me
Just
the sky
Giving its love

To you
95 · Mar 2020
we are
Erik Luo Mar 2020
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...

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
92 · Mar 2020
we are...
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...

The poem of everything
Erik Luo Dec 2019
I am the greatest evil.
I wrote this poem.

A wise man once said nothing because he knew no matter what he says he is saying it to himself.
He is the sound itself
He is the time
He is everything
He is you

All arguments are meaningless because you are arguing to yourself.
Is all a joke.
A giant brilliant joke.

Like everything I’m afraid of is me.

You realize just how hard you are trying to fool yourself.

Like time is everything and everything is time.

This is so stupid that it is smart.
This is so bad that it is good.
This is so evil that it is holy
This is so beautiful that it is ugly
This is so true that it is a false
This is so brilliant that it is dumb
This is so funny that it is sad
This is so good that it is bad
This is so me that it is others
This is so crazy that it is sane
This is so big that it is small
This is so high that it is low
This is so perfect that it is imperfect
This is so impossible that it is possible
This is so normal that it is a miracle
This is so fun that it is boring
This is so hot that it becomes cold
This is so down that it becomes up
This is so light that it becomes dark
This is so good that it makes you suffer
This is so touching that it makes you cry
This is so life that it becomes who you are
This is so meaningless that it becomes meaningful
This is so great that it becomes evil
This is so much love that it becomes hate
This is so much pain that it becomes the pleasure
This is so hard that it is easy
This is so fast that it becomes slow
This is so great that you want to die




This LIE!!!
All of it!!!
Is so ******* beautiful!!!

Like I am every infinity of a second.

The fact that people pertaining to be like they don’t know each other allows them to know each other.


Like you want to make everybody know this is the you.

We are each infinite individuals.


Let’s keep going
This lie called life

Let’s keep going
This lie called time

Let’s keep going
This lie called self

Let’s keep going
This lie call love

Let’s keep playing
This game of lie


At first, you are questioning who you are, then you are questioning who is questioning who you are, then you are questioning who is questioning you questioning who you are.....


To become everything is to become infinity, to become infinity is to become one.

I am the art that is trying to make the art to art themselves.

I am the lie that’s trying to lie to themselves so they all think that it is true.

Everybody else is just me pretending to be someone else.

We are so enlightened that we unenlightened ourselves.

Like how you wrote this poem just now.
An old poem from a few years ago, the second poem I ever wrote. It is all over the place and very chaotic without a lot of descriptions. Still, I think I tried my best

The gift
Erik Luo Oct 2020
The gift
Of existence
Something we granted ourselves

It is through eternity
That we see the bliss in mortality
It is through difficulties
That we can love without pain
It is from the words that we sang
That we hear the truth speak
In silence
We see the lives of infinite beings
Living
Through the cycles of love and pain

And being aware of here
We felt the love from that sacred place
Speaking, without a word

Being, love.
