All alone
by the noon,
softly humming
an old tune.

Eyes that drift
toward the moon,
air is still,
a bit too cool.

No more tools,
just quiet bloom—
a soul unfolding
in its room.
I feel the world at
   times conspires to make true my
basic discontent.
Inspired (or more aptly directly drawn from) “The Pillow Book” by Sei Shōnagon

You were darkness,
I searched for your light,
I've realized I'm worthy of the sun.

i am all alone
please don't lie and say
i am loved
because that's simply not true
life is pointless
why would you ever say
there's hope for me

Something doesn't feel right
And I wonder if I have time

I sleep into the
late afternoon
I open the window
to smell the rain
I watch the winter
trees undress
I wait for the storm …

Repentant
Your questions
Are cursed with time
With loops
Of nothingness
My gift
Was a soul
So pure
That could see the light
In your sadistic humiliations
And a mind
So logical
To solve a problem with my bare hands
And a body
So doll
That I could give up
Cause I believe
No matter what I think
I'm only a drop in the ocean
Bearing the weights
Not to bother the grains

Rumi
A lover asked his beloved,
Do you love yourself more
than you love me?



The beloved replied,
I have died to myself
and I live for you.



I’ve disappeared from myself
and my attributes.
I am present only for you.



I have forgotten all my learning,
but from knowing you
I have become a scholar.



I have lost all my strength,
but from your power
I am able.



If I love myself
I love you.
If I love you
I love myself.
