We have been digging and digging the ground even before our forefathers were born. We enjoy it as it defines the essence of our existence. We even built our homes around the pit so
refuge
won’t be far when
the rain comes and
flood the hole
so we can  have warm stew
when things get cold
and soft bed to lay our backs when we
become weary
We even made fire to
conquer the darkness and
sang songs and danced while we dig
But we have been
plagued
by the why and
never really cared
So we dig and worship the pit
and deny our very
end…

one of those experimental pieces...
...Love stories are
sometimes written by romantic regrets
Hands used to hold another
and now they are
empty
collecting dust from broken promises
Words were said
drifted and lost
but the memories remain like
a sliver in the backbone
Chained to the thought of
hopefully
once again
Trying to revive the flame
under the rain as the
soul drowns in sorrow
But like shattered mirrors
they can never tell
the same story
again...

...Day and night
come by me
Lead the way back home where
the food is cooked with
pots and fire
and the gold is true
Light a beacon where
the sea touches the shore
So I could see, however faint
before the roar
and perhaps
the tides would share
the secrets
of the old
Show me a cloudless path
where angels have
never walked
and let the breeze hum
so the dead could
sing their songs once
again...

...Blood is dry like bones and dust
So as the stars
wrapped by a moonless sky
Reasons have never been this dull
and the air is turning into
fragments of broken mirrors
Breathing
so it seems
is but another struggle worse
than drowning in nightmares
So I dream
perhaps one day in the dark
the sky would rumble
behind the black clouds
and hold a prayer
to light the
lightning...

...She walked down a long road
rain clouds and grays
concealed the stars
It was dark and cold
Dark
and cold as
her stare
She never went this far before but
the scent of the trail was
too much to resist
She wanted more than
daylight til she was
blinded...
Green are the trees no more
and their silhoutte
embraced the ground
She thought blood is red
under the moonlight but
it was black as uncertainties
and it tasted madness
If only
she could get back
If only she could...
then perhaps
she will see
the sunrise
tomorrow...

...You want to believe in true love
to know
to feel
what it feels like
You hold the spark tightly
The spark that keeps away the sadness
Hoping it'll burn into something that
will keep you warm
in the middle of the rain
Deep in thought
down the dreamless depths
you wonder why
do hearts bring so much
uncertainties
So you look into the sky
to conceal the tear that drives
the sorrow
Owning the night in solitude, wanting
what you desired be
found...

...We brand ourselves with
something that we are not
Pretending to be kites
riding the wind
with the air in our heads
Disoriented, we
rely on vertigo to endure the
ups and downs and thought
that we are
masters of the sky
So we seek and want
that is
we cannot have
But we are tied...
To the ground
we are
tied
and we have become
confused of
who we really
are...
