Irises glistening in the night
Nurtured by the moon's warm light in refrain it shines with life
In time it will ignite
The remnant embers of might will look upon a work
That was headed by might
Pure in inspiration was the sight
Lo and behold fire quenches his right
Yet the flowers bloom silently
Slowly guided by the aspiring flight
An iris, glistens
Hear the moon's height
An iris leaps
Moon's heart part of the night
Yet seen the sky holds
Nurturing
I've always wondered what it's like to drown.

Unable to breathe
gasping for air;
only to have your mouth & lungs fill with water.

I've always wondered what it's like to drown.
Then I met you.


a.n.p.
clothe my
frozen soul
with the warm
flow from your
b e a t i n g
heart.

defrost me.
you're still as beautiful as the morning sky, the reason to my rhyme,

don't care about that many miles, i don't have any lines to combine,

words don't save you when you're blind.

i needed somebody and i found you,

so thank you for being there for me, when it was the time,

i'm so sorry that i had so much hate in me, that i wasn't right in my mind,

but i hope you're alright and everything's fine, you still smile-

and that you're closer to that place that you always wanted to find,

i know you have it in you to shine, bird, i know it now, i knew it then, when you were mine.  

so one of a kind, but i guess it's fine 'cause we are all designed to forget with time

and before i do, i want to say thank you before i forget you, and after all it's you,

so i don't have to say anything to you, for the laughter was true, as true as you was and I,

and i know you'll miss me too, it's a good-bye.
Let them fly.
That feeling
you know
just before the roller coaster drops
just before you take the leap
just before you fall
is a constant in me
hesitatingly lingering
vague and unrelenting
somewhere in the middle of my body
a cold sinking
a heavy dullness
that I can't cure

But sometimes
you know
There's a smile because of something I said
There's a hand that traces my arm
There's a certain look
and I forget that feeling
tentatively hoping
cautious and optimistic
that something like this could be recurring
a sweet hesitation
a growing relief
and it's all your fault
Claustrophobic lullabies
collecting in the tear ducts

             He silently exits the chapel.

Her white is transparent of her regrets


He texts:
              *"I'm sorry,
You see my face and race comes first.
I walk around and I feel cursed.
You greet me with "Ni hao!",
expect me to take a bow?
I filled the bathtub; go in headfirst.
Writing poems is always the best way to let off steam.
