the reason why i write
psyche Nov 2014
i've seen a sin
with thousands of tiny seam
its smell was concealed
by a shameful sinless silk.

a dark concoction shaded into white
with its pointed armour
covered by a dull cold rusted metal

i use it
i always.

to huddle
these tons
of horrifying
hurtful truth.

What makes you stay?
psyche Feb 2021
You might not want
to admit it
but truth hath spoken:

what makes you stay
is the same thing
that hinders you
from growth...
butterflies don't stay cocooned for life;
they let go of all that's familiar and glow.

I Wonder How
psyche Jan 2015
I wonder how life could possibly be so fair
when at some times by the tick and tack of the clock
someone comes…
stays
and goes.

I wonder how life deserves a smile
when at some places by the ups and downs in the roads
and in humps
and rocks in our feet
someone has to stare
and pull
and push us
into somewhere we never desired to be.

And when time comes
I wonder how I could possibly know how to look
in a dreamed perfect photograph of the past
dusted…
rusted by the time
and forgotten by the line
when at this very moment, I wasn’t really eating
the most delicious memories
to look in my own future’s timeline.

blankness into something
psyche Nov 2014
blank horizon
blank emotion
blank paper
a pen.

access...
access..
access.

there,
i spotted the times i was laughing
floating in the universe
with thy hands holding mine

the horizon shifted into clouds
where sun prepares to set its face

i felt a hundred languages of emotions
filled by those days i've been so glad

by then,
i let my pen kissed
the blank paper i've been holding for an epoch

so much stories to tell
so much laughter to share

i was just hoping that...

maybe you could read it someday.

I wish he knew my secret
So he'll understand
how it feels like
to love
and not be loved
by him.

psyche Sep 2021
He thinks she's precious
but it's the other way around.

He sees stars in her eyes;
she reaches universe
with his touch.

And while he forsees
his future with her,
she was busy

nurturing
their safest haven.

what made her
psyche May 2021
She had shattered
long enough to
not be afraid
of being broken

and that hath made her
the most dangerous one.

Red Huge Moon
psyche Aug 2014
Red huge moon let me see your face
On a cold dark night I needed light.
Red huge moon may you show me your smile
For this moment I needed strength.

I’ve been in loved with an Adonis
A man I’ve always been dreaming.
I used to stare at those sweet smiles
From a distance I count his laugh.

I’ve been lonely, I’ve always been.
I cried for him, he didn’t cared.
I’ve been in blue, everything had always been.
I called his name, he didn’t even heard.

Red huge moon I beg to show me yourself
Red huge moon before I go to sleep.
Red huge moon as I dream he would love me, too
In an unattainable dream under the impossible red huge moon.

in Storms and Droughts
psyche Oct 2020
I yearned for auroras
but the sky
gave me rains.

I longed for tulips
only to wake up
in an autumn.

I am tired
I would say.

But then I realized
I had found you
in such storms
and droughts.
Now I am a floating
leaf on a deep
blue sea.

sweets and shits
psyche Feb 2016
Sweet from the inside
In sugar it was coated
I tasted it for the first time
Feels like heaven that I swore

‘twas nice
I felt good in every bite
Pleasure…
It gave me a lot of it
That I savored even its last morsel

Now I was left with nothing
But a piece of ****.
i'm a mess. but i'm not sorry for myself

Trade
psyche Jun 2021
"What did you trade me for?"
she asked.

"Happiness, " he answered,  then asked the same question.

"Unselfish love,"
she wanted to say.

But all she could utter was
"The same."

psyche Jan 2015
...
If I could only run backward
I’ll place my feet in front my back
The prints I had will then I’ll have
And in that road I’ll meet thy path

If I could only run the time
I’ll move it in its counter route
Its hands will have a heart like mine
The moment’s time’ll last for long
I’ll be setting an alarm – remind me soon

if I could only hold your hand…
once
again
when time still favors me
in that pale tiny dusted road
with the laughing shadows of you and me.

If I could only…
Change the period you just laid

Then maybe we won’t meet the end
This way

PAPER DOLLS
psyche Jun 2018
We were paper dolls
in a paper house
Door opens; windows closed
We see the chances
but miss all hopes.
We were paper dolls
hanging on the walls.

We were paper dolls
dressed like our Majesty.
You held your sword so tight
I lie my heart in you
And when the dawn is nigh
all candles' lit were blown
we were back once more
in our own separate traps.

And again,
we were paper dolls
played by one thing
we never had...

psyche Sep 2021
What reason
will be enough
to take the risk?

drive?
thirst?
longing?
desire?
intimacy?
love?
life?
uncertainty..
not what's in the ending
but what's to the ending.

FORGIVE YOURSELF
psyche Dec 2017
forgive yourself for being a loving husband
yet ended up in despair
forgive yourself for not wanting to hurt her
yet ended up with a hand on her cheek
forgive yourself for being a perfect father
yet ended up as a stranger to his eyes

Forgive yourself for giving laugh;
your shared uncounted wisdom
will last; but nay forgive thy heart
for not hating
yet ended up as a hated one

You weren’t a mess
you knew how great you’ve been
and with that,
just forgive yourself
for not being always
who you were once.

FINALLY
psyche Nov 2014
A decade’s done
Million little stars will smile
A hand will finally be wiping
These screaming tears inside.
I’ll be wearing the best dress I have;
Will pin the sweetest scent of smile.
A day’s to wait
Will soon be here
For in mine last minute
I’m sure…
You’d finally be here.

I should have done
psyche Aug 2014
The last time knocks; clock’s small hand stopped
A sign to wave a hand with sigh of laugh and willing mind.
I, then stepped a foot in an endless creepy painful woe
The only thing I should have done before the start.

I Guess
psyche Oct 2014
I guess it’ll soon be better
I guess we’ll be okay in a moment
I guess I’ll be wearing my smile again.
I guess..
I guess..
I just guessed
As I’ve always been.
Now I guess
I already know how
*Not to guess at all.

what hurts the most
psyche Nov 2014
I can’t find a word.
Has nothing to say,
yet heart’s full of terms to vent.
Can’t even catch the right punctuation mark to fit
this feeling that’s growing from mine entire being.

If you won’t mind,
please…
allow me to steal a single smile of yours
I just want to put it in my pocket
to hold on when your hand
is ready to wave

in an endless pain of good-bye.
it hurts.
really hurts that it *****.

only for HER
psyche Jun 2016
Shiny sparklin’ sun’s rise
Smilin’ brightly lighting your face
Oh, what a day to remember
Your eyes hath spoke
When they met mine

Hey! I like those smiles
I count the colors in your mood
You laugh the softness in your soul
I memorized the stroke of each sound

‘twas one of a kind
Felt the scent of the sweetest haven
You told me your story
I felt my lips pronouncing mine

You’re so special
You never knew
And I wasn’t aware
I was falling hard

So so hard
I forgot how lovely you were
When you just told me
You once hath fallen
hard
For her
and only for her.
you should have told me the very first minute you showed me those smiles.

love is
nothing but trust
when trust is nothing lays

I believed

At least I did

Just before
He lost
All the trust
In a lie.

That Little Butterfly
psyche Nov 2014
Once
I caught a butterfly,
a gorgeous one.
Its wings glow
With colours I don’t have any idea
of describing and naming.
It’s just that…
I liked it.
It stayed for a while
there in my little silky hand.
It never moved.
I thought it would stay
longer.
But I was wrong.
Until it finally wiggled its wings
and danced across the air.
Leaving me all alone
with mine bare hand
that once hath ringed in it.
It flew
away
and
away
and
away.
Now, I have no idea
of describing and naming it.
It’s just that…
I love it...
I do.
i wish i realized it just before it left me.

I've written thousands
of letters
with your name
and mine
sealed them
with thousands of beats
my heart kept on shouting.
Sometimes
I ask myself
Why wouldn't
I send it to you?

Then right after
I'd get the answer...

there are letters
better
left unopened
just like feelings

~~Traverse
psyche May 2018
I've wanted to dive
the deepest ocean;
explore its wonders
no eyes hath seen

I've wanted to dive
its every corner
to feel how it feels
the love it never gave

I've wanted to dive
and have a piece of it
I'll take the mem'ry
and leave my prints

I've wanted to dive
the deepest ocean...

but the waves' crest,
the coldest wind,
– its armors,
and my sail

won't allow me

They just wouldn't.
just like how I've wanted
to know you
deeper.

Things fall apart
Accept it
or not
believe it

Someday
Somehow
you’ll find someone
who’s pulled by thy own gravity
Accept it
or not
But believe it
I swear
he is the one
and the only one
destined for you
and only you
i do believe in soulmates.. as i do with fate. someday, someone will  hold my hand as if they were perfectly fitted and created for each other.

You're Here, But Not Really
psyche Nov 2014
That crooked smile
those laughing eyes
we’re hand in hand
across the earth.
People don’t care
and so we don’t
I smiled in pain
as I looked at this silky little frame,
Yes…
we now share the same roof
but you weren’t really here.
323 · Jan 2022
language

Still using the same
language you taught me

and perhaps the very reason

why no one

how painful it is
beneath the surface.
319 · May 2021
You
psyche May 2021
You
You aren't the one
that got away
not even my greatest
what if.

We weren't soulmates
nor meant to be.

You are
a once in a lifetime.
Shall I be greedy and ask for more?

I cannot be selfish enough.

At Least
psyche Dec 2017
We were the lyrics in every sweetest song one might hear
We collided in our own galaxy and made light out of it
You smiled and I counted the colors in your eyes
I felt like owning the universe knowing we were one.*

We were...

we were.

he's ok; he will always be
psyche Jan 2015
He’s ok
He will always be
He’ll still smile
Show off his laugh
With eyes so true
He’ll never be in pain

He’s ok
He will always be
So don’t you ever worry my dear
He’ll still play his favorite sport
Will be hanging out with his friends
Still be singing his sweetest song
Will be wearing his perfect jeans

And at night
When your heart still aches for his warmth arm wraps,
He will be in the middle of the paradise
With a hand in his
Kissing every memories
In a tight hug you used to give

So don’t you ever worry my dear wounded heart
For he will be alright
He will always be…
Even without you.
307 · May 2016
We would have been
psyche May 2016
If I said yes
Would I have not been in this agony right now?

If I said I will
Would I not be wandering alone by now?

If I’d been strong enough to tell the truth
Will I be happy ….
Far beneath the jungle of sorrow I am with
Right here
Right now
Seeing you glowing
With heart’s full of gladness

While mine very own’s
Savoring the truth
Of regrets.

If I…
if I only...
if I could just.

I would have been…
then maybe
**we would have been
just maybe

Behold, it ENDS
psyche Jun 2016
The days I count hath past…
when hours beyond my grasp
are now tickling the gallons of innumerable pain.
Here under the moonlight shine
with tiny million crystal beans,
I numbered all the scars
they marked a sand of thousand mem’ries.
‘tis has to be done, I know
Oh, moonlight I know you hear!
You witnessed all the tears
from my night to night’s endless mare.

But the gambler whispered all,
I now have to give up all;
my happiness, my love, and all
along the saddest hymn of mine soul.
Goodbye my dearest
sweetest paradise of wound.
Goodbye…

to define the real
meaning of love

I said
I never knew

And right there

sparking around me,
a bizarre rhythm
hath reached the pitch

And though I never knew
nor even understood,

*I FELT.

her autumn
psyche Jan 2022
He had awaken the flame
that has been asleep
for all seasons gone
only to leave her
ice cold frost one moonlit night

but with a tiny
little hope to fate,
she counted drops
like how leaves fall
on cobblestones

She was left
clutching unto knife
pointing in her
iced stone heart

and though
she cries during
summer eves,
she made sure not to bleed
all winter days.
She's on her season of becoming.
Definitely.

psyche Feb 2016
A friend who never fails to visit me all along
A great companion who always make me feel no special at all
A sweet taste I’ve never even forgotten
From the very moment I open mine eyes
‘til I close them after dawn

Envy
The only thing I have
From the very first day
You laid those sparkling eyes
On her
Those eyes
That once
Hath loved my very own.
can someone tell me how to avoid this 'lil friend of mine???

The world’s spinning; mine hands were shaking
A smile once peek a heart then beats.
Yours is the smile I’ve ever seen
Though clouds above had turned to gray.
Yours is the voice I heard so soft
On winter nights I'll never be scared at all..

The rain hath blown; had swapped from the sun's tender smile
Yet rainbow turned its colors stunned
Blues stepped a foot; unraveled its wings.

Men do love
Birds can sing
When day is gone
My moon will shine…
I know…
For you

Back as Empty
psyche Aug 2017
We were taught to be tough
Not to be soft with a heart so strong
and valiant, we call ourselves

We were once been trained
under the rainy clouds above
When all legendary tales begun,
our wholeness were made

We began by being just us
fulfilling what we were told to be.
We were filled…

until we got drowned.

And by that
we started
back as empty ones.
