you my firefly,
sit perched on my
left finger.

why have you brought
with you the stars
to this humble earth?

you have the whole
sky for your luminous soul and yet
you rest your wings on me.

here you grace me, firefly,
to bring me the heavens.

light up my
heart,
and brighten the path
I follow.
a prayer

bones
On the day
her body burned
she asked the
winds to be
her friends
and they
picked her
up and poured
her through
the fingers of
their hands
like a river
without ending
that won't
be tied or
bound, until
every trace of
dust embraced
the freedom it
had found.
I tune the radio to a station I know won't come in.
Because it sounds just like the ocean to me.
And a fake ocean is far better than no ocean at all.
It sounds like a place so far away from here, so free.

I place blankets over my curtains, which are over my windows.
Because it makes me feel safe when I sleep.
And a bit of sleep is a lot better than none at all.
It seems this new habit I've formed, I'll keep.

I run outside every single time it rains.
Because the cold jars my lifeless body awake.
And some feeling is nicer than no feeling at all.
It hopefully cleanses me, for I know my soul's at stake.

Creep
I want to write your words on my skin
So that they can be fully absorbed
And with me forever.
A creepy one xD

Where did the party go

Both by panic at the disco

gee
crush
 Jan 2015 Something Simple
gee
termites crawl in my stomach; you
are my disarray, o soft and golden -

take the curves of my feet, the
freckle on my lip, and

hang me on your wall, you
compel my speechlessness.

i'll keep guessing, guessing
and unguessing.

i am up all night over this.

Everything is separated from each other
But when you see silently
It seems all together
The day sleeps in the night as I exist in you

The born,
The death all for thee
Black or white
True or false all for thee

The continents are separated, isolated
As we are alienated from each other
But on the other hand we are all together
Apparently we are  moving toward the different direction

The dark,
The light all for thee
Silence or thunder
Melody or chaos all for thee

Either it’s a stone or an emotion
Even either love or hate,
Neither war nor peace
Neither dialectics nor mystic
All  have bent you and me

There are too many invisible divine strings
On every matter or even every non matter
yet bonded with the heaven and the hell
So, all we move toward the same destination

All we are moving toward the same destination...........
How do I put this into words
I'm alive but not forever
I've lived and experienced so much
I've felt pain, sorrow, love, happiness
you name it I've felt it
I saw the beginning
the universes explosion
one day I'll watch it fizzle
I've lived forever
I've seen it all
witnessed amazing
felt everything
loved so much
cried, felt sorrow, pain
witnessed cruelty
saw the best and worst
I'll continue to age
witness so much
I've lived forever
Morning Time:

The sun shines bright

Fluffy clouds, blue skies

Mamma's making me breakfast

A peacefully started day


Mourning Time:

Dead bodies plague us

Sirens are now lullaby's

Fear is our friend

The end is near


Morning Time:

The break of day

Wet to the dew

Away with the old

Bring on the new


Mourning Time:*

Tears falling forever free

Soak life's lonely path

Endings beginning the need

*New mornings often lack
A fun filled collaboration with the one and only!
