Star Gazer
When I was a kid I thought one day,
I could touch the stars.
Now that I am much older,
I realised that I couldn't touch the stars,
The latter makes me feel bleak.

However the beauty is there
And even if I am only allowed to see,
It is a privilege I did not deserve.
I guess I'll always be a star gazer.

our lives aren't monologues
where one can dictate
what touches us or not
sometimes such miracles
are inevitable
no matter
how brief
in the grand
scale of
things

wander to a place called home
where you can curl in bed
and not be bothered by dread,
where you can lie your head
on the soft pillows

but resentful, no,
a new chapter will stumble in
to bother my slumber
and knock on my door
until then, I'll count every speckle
of dust

terrified at the thought*
of warmth seeping again
petrified, I go about my day
with this sensation
seizing me under arrest
not good with this
no I cannot
smother such emotions
a week's past
the gap wedged
between my mind
*and heart

tear into the falling night
fasten the day
without a single painful tear
push those memories far away
fast sinking, the glistening forever sky
waning in the dying light
trample of feet
in tall green grass
the soft haze, I love to feel
as everything soften
elbows swing and air bellow
past my ears, like those years
I spent listening, misery
but now those melodies
don't tune with me anymore
and hearts pace
as this band of youth
with stories to tell
and shoulders to sleep
simply decide to race
against the dying day
wanting to get away
Thank you, friends, for occupying the numbness and giving me remarkable memories I can cherish forever. Let's just try not to pet the goats again...

Don't follow me
If fear snares
Lose the map

We dance in it's pleasures.
We count it's treasures.

We hide from it's terror.
We wait for it's surrender.

Oh, how I love adventures.
