SHAM
psyche Apr 2017
Tell me something love can do
while finding ways to ease this pain
Whisper all how care could lie
I'd slay by sword; you mark my words

And while I shout all the doubt inside
hand me the trust you once hath promised
There, under the love we once caressed
that laid beneath the deepest crest

We no longer do
We've known it
yet we pretend

NUMB
psyche Nov 2014
I would have known thee before the day ends
When butterflies’ wings glow beneath the sun
And water flows across the rocky crust.
I wish… I wish… I really wish I would.

I would have known thee before darkness peeks
When music sings its harmony with smiles
We’d hear the lyrics’ tone; it echoes the sweetest laugh.
Oh I wish I would before nightmare spared.

I would have known thee before stories end
When stars won’t blink and clocks don’t rush
The hour hath run before I would
And date hath passed before I could.

I would have known thee before we met
When my heart remembers how to beat
And my lips still know how to smile…
When my world seems just so fine
and fair.

I would have known thee
I wish I would
Before I found myself deeply…
falling
In numb.

when art is born
psyche Jan 2022
When a poet
holds his pen
and the composer
finds the perfect words
the painter mixed the shades
and the singer hit the notes

dearest,
that's when scars turn
into art.
As for me?
I bottle all of it up.
And I bleed
a million tiny words
on papers
beneath my wet pillows.

psyche Jan 2016
I once have met a man of soul
a great of man who never made
a great impression the very first.

I once have met a man of pain
his story broke the heart of town
I heard him cry; it melts my heart
beneath the life no one have had.

I once have met a man of truth
his heart is pure when he have loved
in fact I once have heard, he said he loves
he uttered then the name I have.
I, then have felt what’s love in deed.

And though all the times have past
when all the songs have end
and all the shadows fade,
the love we used to share
will then
forever be remembered.

We will be remembered.
We’ll always be…


*For the man who taught me that love has no meaning at all, not unless you have known it by the heart, HAPPY BIRTHDAY! You will forever be here, right here, drawn behind the pages of my every piece.
I was about to reformat my laptop when i saw this piece i wrote months ago.. when i'm still hoping everything will be fixed between me and my ex. i read it three times weighing if i still feel the same. for the fist time, i've realized the changes.

psyche Feb 2017
I started my day
with tiny million reasons to stay.
But the day's done
and the felt of being in pain
tasting billion reasons to leave
hath ended my day.

So I did
what not my heart desires.
Perhaps loving doesn't always means staying.

it's been a while
psyche Apr 2016
it's been a while
since we've last seen each other
now we're here
facing the painful truth of past.

it's been a while
since i've heard that voice
those sweetest laugh
and soft hand in mine
now i'm left with such lil thing you could offer:
a simple crooked smile

it's been a while
yeah
a while and i still feel the same
same love
same hope
same pain

it's been a while
and it hurts even more

now

after seeing those eyes

AGAIN.
i thought seeing you again will make me realize that i truly badly need to let go. wrong predictions ****!

Even just a little
psyche Dec 2016
If time could only be so unselfish
I'll ask him to take our hands
and bring us together
in a moment both our worlds are one.

You, saying that stupid "hi" once more
and me with that silly smile
you, only could see.

If time could only be so unselfish
I'll ask him to freeze
in that very moment
when clouds don't move
and sun just smiles.

Let me take every ounce of gladness
Let me smell every tons of love
and let me feel every inch of you
for a lil longer
just a little longer.

Maybe then, you'd really stay
for a lil while
even just a little...

stay.
You said you'll stay. Now i wonder how it feels if you really did. No dust of pain to be felt, i guess.

Disc Jockey
psyche Jun 2018
I've never been in a cloudy place;
in a crowd of noisy people
echoing the loudest musics of all,
glamorous masks around the corners
under lights and sparkling glitters.

I've never been in a cloudy place,
never for once have seen
an enchanting DJ
with eyes so brown
I was so drowned
by how he looks at me.

I've never been in a cloudy place
where someone hath put colors
in a song of the unfamiliar beats.

I just wish he wouldn't stop
playing that song,
'cause I'm starting
to fall for it
deeply.

Counting Drops
psyche Oct 2017
I wonder how it all started
but I’m certain how
I planned to sit by the water
and smelled the breeze from the field
delighted by the kiss of the sun
I thought I was free
for nature called me in
with comfort
no one could ever give

but the clouds came
and by and by
I counted each drop
first, I looked
second, it smiled
third, I was loved
forth, we were glad
until I realized I was soaked
by the thought of happiness
I hoped would last.

had I known it will pour,
I should have sat there
earlier

perhaps, I would have
ran away
on the first drop.

now I hear not only drips
coming from the sky.

Two short words

But nay,

so the latter you'd greet.

And so with wisdom

You have to leave
to live.

Rules&Promises
psyche Dec 2018
Can someone tell me
how a heart could break
a promise
bound by the love it had given
like a rule a brain

Perhaps
it is the most traitor

it's willing to break itself
by breaking a promise
or a rule

or
both.

psyche Dec 2020
ran
And maybe I have been
so familiar with being
out of this place
That when someone willing
to shelter me came,
I ran my life out of it.

Or maybe I have been
so into out of love
That when he came
and offered his heart,
I had no idea how to handle it.

So I ran my heart away.

He flows like a river
and as his waters fall down,
a heart of stone hath melted.

She nurtures like earth
on ground she keeps her feet,
she made home for his lost soul.

Oh what a mess had been created

hath met!

But even in muds,
a lotus sprouts.

and no matter how chaotic

some things bloom within.

You should know
How one
for once
Should

She can no longer
hold on the pain;

that'll never come back

ever

I'd never wished for
anything fancy and glittery
and bright
other than a glimpse
of Borealis.

But when a shooting star came,
it made me witnessed
how a single hope
could mean a galactic miracle.

And right there,
when I hoped for nothing
more than a blink of amazement,

my galaxy aligned its stars
to open the universe
I never imagined
I'd be able to see...
through his eyes.

Unlike the missing piece
on a puzzle;
an incomplete work of art,

the unfinished

and the scribbles

A blank canvas
caught by the eye
could give
the greatest lesson
of them all...


Emptiness isn't worst

45 minutes before another
dried leaf falls
45 minutes before a new
one sprouts...

there from a branch
of a tree
where all mem'ries engraved
with listed names
of those who come and go
while time passes and flies.

45 minutes...
last 45 minutes of holding on.

45 minutes...

then I'll let go.
Turning the page to a new one.

My World, Your Moon, and I
psyche Oct 2017
I am this tiny blurry
light at night
pinned near to your
so-called glowing moon.
Had been undoubtedly compared
to how she not blinks
in your so-called darkest night.

But nigh...
your glorious queen leaves
and in thy coldest side
I never left.

I am a no-doubted
so far point
as to compared to her.
But I never get tired
of making
a lifetime spent of blinking,
sending the brightest light
I could give
from my own unknown galaxy
to your oh-so-famous one.
Yours Truly,
STAR

Oh what a wonderful

in bricks she fenced
its peace
no thorn could ever

until one cold winter night,

with graffiti he whispered
all flowers bloom

even on fall
all naked trees would bow.

That when she woke up
from a life-time death,
her walls...

unshattered

People uttered so much
about how they would do things
for those who they love,

right til you’ve drowned from reality

*You’ll know;

I wanted to write
a letter
put all my feelings
no color could describe

I wanted to write
a letter
and tell how much
I cried
at nights

I wanted to write
a letter
and shout all
the love and pain
I couldn't tell
you

I couldn't,
I wouldn't
because I know
I shouldn't.

I just wanted
to write
you
in a letter
fold it in a half,
seal it

and then
leave it there

between the pages
of the most
painful lines
of my old
fave book

-to remind me that
this story - our story
wouldn't take its risk
to reach the happy
ending.
It just has to stay there..
between the darkest pages.
