snowed
fez Jan 2021
I see the snow
covering all
like carpet woven
with a softly yarn
to keep all the memories warm

the sly silence
coats over the sorrow
yet your absence
still bites my soul

on my own
fez Apr 2018
saying that 'you can tell me'
doesn't mean that I will

saying that 'you're not alone'
does not guarantee that I won't
feel alone
again

I am
alone
I am
solemnly
on my own

I want to fear nothing
I want to expect nothing

but here I am again,
old friend

will you hold my hand
again?

denial
fez May 2018
my dad died so gracious
he is dead
indeed

but I am not sure
if he was the one in that coffin
or it was his blood
that I saw on his silver bracelet
rust? it might be

without pain and without scars
and with a faceless shroud
he was elegant
indeed
but-dead?

so how come
a silver bracelet rust

and who was the one
in that coffin?

the mummy
fez May 2018
a red dried pepper
and a  wormy cherry
a decomposed dead body
looks just like them-but not you

I am gazing at your
diamond eyes and fire hands
behind a glass
the glass will turn to marble
and you will turn to ashes
and the grief will softly whisper me
the charms of lunacy

finally, the flames will die
and I will sell the two diamonds in my hands
for wisdom

no, dad, it's not you
whose skin is cracked, decayed and bruised
it could be a box of cherries
or a bag of peppers

god, I miss you.

hymn
fez May 2018
the wind is spiraling
the wind is spiraling

it is the rage
which has no object
the indignation
which cannot spread
is spiraling

the tempest is
scattering
the hell is
sparkling
under my skin

I am waiting for the thunder
I am waiting
to become the spiral
to shiver
and to sparkle

but the spiral is
withering within
and all my devils are
hymning to the wind

when will I learn
the hell
is me
and the devils
are mine
written with the inspiration from Shakespeare

love
fez Apr 2018
every glance between us
is like sharing a secret together
bonding  and completing
like committing
a crime
to my love

shapeless uncertainty is always hanging in there

the poem wants to flow but I blow it all away

The Punica
fez Jun 2018
I am standing under the punica;
its roots are bursting out of ground
and clothing the earth all around
its light scent is tempting
this punica must be magical indeed

I touch the body of the punica;
its roots are bursting out of my heart
and covering my chest all around
my soul is wide open, I flourish,
This punica must be me, indeed

My punicas are falling down
into the lands of striking roots,
bursting out of themselves,
covering the ground all around

my soul has ten arms divided into ten arms,
I must be the earth, indeed

abandoned
fez Jun 2020
in the green sea
I see hints of a city
where wind is the great giver
and the bugs are the only residents

now!
enter the void and leave your memories
to the clouds and the puffy flowers
let all bricks fall
-take a breath-
let all rails rust
-breath out-
let all be gone
to be alive again

— The End —
