I feel the worms,
of the bed bugs,
of squirming
not hesitating
bursting
to get to my skin.
My death,
is his burial
and walk to
oblivion....
I can't blame
as I never found
my own heaven.
My own
conflations here
I face my guilt.
while your felt,
is my oppression
to your demons
that you can't face
So here is your haste.......
Your perversions
to someone a-******
and was playing
you to death.
I will face my maker
and never a faker,
You're a Satanist
and never believed,
I'm not your guinea pig
and never was here,
I won't judge your heresy,
God will face your demons...
So there's this woman,
like a new Lamborghini,
Keep in mind
the age difference.,
upsetting
was this" creep"
labeling
and asking
just as she
had new
private plates
on her car.
My travesty
was my poetry
she asked
me
to write freely.
I always did,
but broken
was the
agreement,
as I saw,
others
could see
so clearly.
The light of the attention rectangle melts the candle of my mind,
Not a choice anymore, just a routine to take a look at it; makes me blind.
No matter how badly I crave it, I can't seem to open the blinds,
The last crumbs of my sanity - I hear them grind.

A place to run away from reality, "connect with the loved ones digitally",
Special cords are drifting away now, seems pretty contradictory.
The purpose of earth is to connect, at least I thought so,
When did it all get this performative and vicarious? Such a fiasco.
So you live the high life,
as swamping on egg-plant
and the salty of the seeds.
You brought nothing
to your troubled life,
your father, excuses,
mother so proud
and yet you're so alone....
I too feel the high
of no gift of suicide,
its brings no closure
to these fights,
repeatedly
in my head,
if my mother,
could....
well,
I did
forgive
I don't
know
how to be...
she's been dead
for a few years.
Yes, I'm troubled
but you were
the ignition
buried in my head.
None of the guys
ever asked me out
they teased me
or just froze me out

I wasn’t stuck up
I was shy
I came from China
that is why

I didn’t know the styles and trends
or even where I should begin
there wasn’t much that I could say
I never talked much anyway..

so I sat there
and read

I was an incredibly
epic fail

To all the guys
who called me names
that tagged my locker
and tried to shame me

I wasn’t snooty
I was shy
I’d just come from China
that’s the why

I didn’t know the styles and trends
that let a new girl fit in
I’d never even used the Internet
I was as lost-in sauce as a girl gets..

so I sat there
and read

Which eventually
got me into Yale.

lost-in-sauce = clueless
Sudden sparks of light that hit the face right there,
When the eyes are closed and the vehicle is moving somewhere
That is drenched with golden caress of sun, totally bare.

I crave inventing a name for this event, completely pure,
The brain is an association machine, for sure.
"Suddenlight" my mind whispers, no need to feel unsure.

A definition as warm as our scene in my mind that i placed in a golden frame:
Flamecolored we were, in the end we both came,
Certainly, it was a mutual game...
suddenlight (n.)

1. The fleeting sensation of sunlight striking the face and closed eyelids, often while in motion, producing a golden, dreamlike glow.


2. A sudden spark of warmth or clarity felt as if from within.
Quick break-up Senryus.
Pick one to quickly, cut that
relationship cord:

I'm sorry, What'd you say?
I can't hear you (confused look)
- we’re breaking up.

You’re the guy that
every girl at our school wants
- it's their lucky day.

It's time that we took
our relationship to the
previous level.

I still cherish the
initial misconceptions
I had about you.
