Someone told me
I feel too much...
like it's
a bad thing
like it's rain on beach day
like it's cold "hot cocoa"
like it's an incomplete "love letter"
like it's snowing on your vacation
//   it's a cold thanksgiving dinner
//   // a pimple on date night
//  //  your period on *** night
//  //  being broke on a Friday
and went on and on and on ... like
someone told me I feel too much
I said
Thank you, I am blessed

There are moments
under the sun
where my heart
remembers warmth
and beats
a blush to
my cheeks

For what separates us from
creating magic
is the lack
of belief
in one's
power

I overdosed on my cupid's arrow
I trip and fall
at that first
different
"hello"

Those spaces
between each line
form the places
where I lose
my
breath
writing about
you

I thought
less
And gained
more

I giggled when
I heard them say
things about me

"Sharpens pencil"

If I really wrote
what I wanted
to write
I think
I would get close
to meddling
with
fate

Have I lost the touch
to fantasise
sober?

The heart has become
foreign to the knock
of love on its doors
It stored a doorbell

The thing about
not planning
is that you're
planning on it

When
my
poetry
fails
I just
write
your
Name:______

When was the last time
you called to show
your
emotions?

I blame poetry
for turning
my life
into
fantasy

Floating
poetry
is simply
a conversation

I believe
sometimes
poetry
is a form
of
exorcism

The difference
between
your
&
our
is
"Why"

You're
the acoustic
cover
of the
soundtrack
of my life

My kisses go a long way
ready for the
journey?

She sang the song
of winter
and my
my cheeks turned red
like autumn leaves
my heart
warmed up like summer
and my eyes bloomed
like spring

Blue is just a color
a happy hue
with
y
o
u

My lips landed
on yours
I can't wait
to see
where this kiss
will take me

Debt

If I made you king
that doesn’t mean
you get to exercise
dominance on my free will

If I made you king
that doesn’t mean
you get to rearrange the chambers
of my heart to fit your comfort

If I made you king
that doesn’t mean
you get to enjoy your castle
the way you please

If I made you king
that doesn’t mean
you forget what it’s like
to be human

If I made you king
that doesn’t mean
you ally with my weaknesses
and keep my strengths in the dark

If I made you king
that doesn’t mean
you summon wars
in my ribcage
to shake my very core
with battle cries

If I made you king
that doesn’t mean
I am in debt to your royalty

If I made you king
that doesn't mean
you are one

When there's so much
love locked in my ribcage
I only wish God
grants mercy
to those who shall receive it

For my tsunami of emotions
will shake
the loneliest of islands
an earthquake of beats
will beat life into the lifeless
and love.. oh love
will melt the
frost off
your
chest
and
the
dust
off
your
smile

The moment of truth
lies in the second
you end your poem
with an exhale
and you look
up

We fall in love
like we fall for
dessert
quickly
and
irrationally

Picking hearts
is like picking fruits
we like them, ripe
supple and oh so sweet

I never knew
what it felt like
being loved
the way I love
until
I fell
for myself
through
the looking glass

When you have nothing to lose
that's when your
guards fall like November leaves
and you're as naked as Eve's innocence
in the face of every thing and anything

If I see it
then it is

If I hear it
then it is

If I taste it
then it is

If I read it
then it's
a different
story

It has become
a hallway for passersby
they enjoy the stories
I hung on its walls
and stroll off
to the next
exhibition

What baffles me
is that most of them
do not see
the "home sweet home" sign
that I hung
at the entrance
of
my
heart

Dated memories
date back
to dates
I want to date
some erase
and scotch you
in between to recreate
new dates in old dates

I have been
studying
the language of thuds
till a sailor
heard my heart
and deciphered
its tone

.. / -- .. ... ... / -.-- --- ..-

I sold my soul
to poetry
because the devil
rejected it
he told me
"it's too fiery for hell
it'll do better
melting hearts"

Someone tol(d) me:
"feel the love
from your (a)ccomplishme(n)ts
versus the love from humans
(i)t's way mor(e) satisfying, (l)ovely"

Today,
I thank you

(You)niform:
Remaining the same in all cases;
consistent; steady

You were
the most
colorful

but your
flavour
was short
lived

"unwraps another"

I started
giving ink
to my tongue
and for some reason
I developed a sleeve tattoo
that spelled courage

I r
     e
         l  i  e  d
         on you
for inspiration
then I realised
(it was) so(me)where
else
all
a
l

Forgive me
I have decided
to forgive
myself
this
time

I used to look
now I see

I used to crush
now I love

I used to hug
now I embrace

I used to rage
now I engage

I used to jump to conclude
now I skate to it
taking my
time

I used to fall in
now I rise to
taking you
with me

I used to blush
and
I still
do
