whistle that angelic melody
as it prances gently upon the cool, night breeze
the notes always hitting perfectly
putting me to sleep

m.p.

open your ears and eyes to realize
guard yourself
from dangers and temptations
soften that hardened brain
and alleviate your heart

to escape from your physical life
and raise your spiritual side

m.p.

let the hues of my memories float
as the soft glows leak out from me
bright colors swirl into the whirling wind
mixing together
and becoming one

they flew beyond the white clouds
touching the skies
leaving their trails and marks
just so i could look up at the sky
and admire your colors

with warm tears on my cheeks
from the gloomy yet peaceful atmosphere
the wind dried my tears away

but than the hairs on my skin start to rise,
and i understood

that you were always there
working through nature
to find a way
just to be with me

m.p.

minds and mentalities
corrupted and broken
from the noxious words
and infectious actions

by the repercussion and influence
of the people we once knew

who's hardened brains perished
and withered away

who's guarded hearts mutilated
and commutated

who's perspective reciprocated
and influenced predominantly
by fallacious things

how will we,
when will we
restore our youth?

m.p.

your words crept into my ear
and engraved itself onto my mind
slipping down into the cracks of my heart
i felt the intense and strong emotions from you
and my soul was deeply moved

m.p.

let's run away
to escape from this world
to where we no longer need to accept the idea of time
and to never age and be forever alive

m.p.

my dreams bursted into tiny pieces
combusting into the lights of a billion stars
and star remnants
creating a vivid galaxy sea of my soul

m.p.

your leaves so full of green
sun shining through your canopy
seasons changed and winter rushed in
you slowly faded away
leaving your brown leaves to only stray apart

looking back again
your leaves so full of brown
so withered and fragile
with snow falling through your empty canopy

although your leaves not so vibrant and fresh,

changes will never overpower your charm
and your beauty will forever remain in my heart and soul

m.p.

i sing with my fingers
among six strings
who cannot speak
but only the notes and harmonies
of my thoughts and feelings

m.p.

let us open up our hearts
spilling out bright lights
and emitting these golden flames
as we come together as one
to create a luminous sun

m.p.

grabbing the shovel of regret
you excavate the soft soil of the calm earth
that was once so fertile and perfect

piercing it's peace and purity
only left with the fragile remnants of dirt
that have instantly crumbled to pieces

you dig yourself deeper into the hole
the hands of loved ones reach out to you,
but why do you only reject?

you want to look up
but you're too afraid
to let your tears, already at the brim of your eyes to fall

you tell yourself to only look down
and dig deeper into the abyss of eternal darkness

by then, you've already dug too deep
you call for help
but everyone already gave up and left

it saddens me,
the idea of your complicated mentality

that the people around you cause only nothing but trouble
that the burdens laid upon you are not from yourself,
but only from others

love, open your eyes
why must you think this way?

you've denied everything
that could've lead you to the path of life

yet you carelessly ignored the help
and lead yourself to the pit of death

no one else is here to blame
when will you realize until it's too late?

when really the only person who held you back

was yourself.

m.p.

sacred lotus; you are
calm and divine
grace radiates brightly from within you
setting light and fire
creating a fully bloomed soul

your beauty so overwhelming
that nature bows down to you
and lily pads make way for you
as you glide across the hazy surface
upon the murky water

but may the wind and ripples carry you far
to a place where life swims all around you
under and among sparkling water
rejoicing and glorifying in your beauty

m.p.

the night sky sang lullabies to me
each note pulsating with the light of each star
i breathed quietly to the beat of their song
mesmerized by the ballad of luminious spheres
the light starts to fade
as the lids of my eyes join together
till the only thing in sight
is the immersed darkness

m.p.

it was a cold night
driving down an isolated road
around three in the morning
the only noise i could hear
was the quiescent humming of the car engine
and the sound of the tires rolling against the gravel road
i looked out the window
overlooking the city
and all the tiny, glistening glows
from the street lights
i've realized one thing that day
about street lights
about how much they represent us,

mankind.

street lights are like people
some may look the same
some may look different
but both were designed and created for the same purpose

street lights are spaced out from each other
just like how we sometimes like to separate us from others

but we all stand together
waiting on the side
waiting for the right time
to shed some light
on somebody who needs it

for someone who needs a little light,
in their darkest night.

m.p.

your subconscious remains
waiting for the right time
to exploit that mind
and destroy every inch of you from the inside

m.p.

our minds corrupted and polluted
by the smoke of one's self consciousness
suffocating inside the walls of what we call a body
only having the ability to be limited and judged

we lost ourselves

m.p.

forgive and educate
not to argue and discriminate
raise the power of love amongst hate
so that we will come together as one
and prevail underneath this luminous sun

m.p.

my thoughts dissipate into the air
caught in the whirling wind
soaring high above to earth's atmosphere
where i can no longer reach them

m.p.
