I feel it too well
Within light touches and stares
Something bloomed in our hearts,
Innocent and bare

A perplexed sky is what we are
With a dash of rain and a bit of sun
Rainbow clouds in between our sighs
An overwhelming feeling as if we're flitting

But our hearts may ache a little
When someone else discovers
So in front of a mirror
I sat and gave them riddles

Before disgusted eyebrows rise
I waited for the sun to set then whispered—
The unspoken words to be freed
But only to sunset I could concede.
Inspired by the Thai  BL series, I told sunset about you
i’d use my thumb
to get me some-
where past this side
of a distant galaxy…

can
i grab a little heart-flight
hitchhike from DFW to
the field where lovers lie?

i wish to lay
my head down soft
and hear a tune
hummed from the blue,

a song from some-
one like you
broke and far out :(
Blindness:
A courtesy to myself
To not be crushed
By gravity.

In these times,
Caring is not impossible,
But heroic.

But *******,
I am only

Mortal.
DON'T  THINK OF ME,

PERFECT,

SAINTLY,

AND SO

GOOD.



LET ME TELL

YOU,

I AM ALSO

ONE OF THOSE

BROKEN,

SINNERS,

TRYING TO

LIVE A GOOD LIFE.


STUPID,

AND MAKES MISTAKES,

AND WRONGS

SOMETIMES.

AM NOTHING.

JUST LOVE TO LEARNED

TO  LIVE

TO BE

GOOD.

AS I FALL SOMETIMES,

AM NOTHING THEN,

FOR ANY PRAISES.

I ride waves
deeply unaware
of how long.
I ride waves
afraid to face
what will wash
up from the sea.
I dive in slowly
As if seconds
last forever
but in just minutes
I’m face to face
with the silent ticks
of each gone hour.

A candlelit rage
Dances in Shadow and Light
Flickering our flame.

As pebbles are thrown
into the lonesome pond
laughter splashes out
And smiles run and glide
with ripples of liveliness.
