a cog too easily wound
is my heart,
for even if i do not love
i never ache to leave -
not even a silver bullet could part
me from those i display a
sliver of my soul;
for loneliness is a growth,
a vampire-like specimen that *****
the hope from my
chest.
a poem on loneliness, the fear of being abandoned, and the fear of never being loved again.

It's hard to disconnect oneself
from the attachment of familiarity
one has built through the years.
Everything in college is overwhelmingly new. I found it difficult to adjust to another environment. New people. New place
.....

I miss my friends. The memories. The laughters... I miss their company...
If only I can always be with them
But this is life. Life must go on. We have our own paths. Dreams and goals in life.

I’ve grown too far,
And now I’m lost
in the absence
That she left for me.

I wonder why I feel so.
A silent word was made
That I won’t fall again
And shall take a break.

But push came to shove,
And she pulled me into love.
The feels are getting to me and it’s not even the 13th.

We text through the night when you should be asleep
We text through the day when I should be writing

And I hold this close, you're special to me
This attachment that's forming

I'm frightened
I don't want to be naive

This time around, I am scared to let my guard down
We'll exchange letters like two kids in a playground

My mouth creates a smile and my body feels warm
All I want from you is your trust and to be enjoyed

Maybe we could share a kiss, maybe we could share our bodies
This is exactly where I don't want my thoughts to go

Can I relish in the fun and in the cuteness we exude
Without getting in too deep, without becoming the fool?

He’s not here anymore
That’s why you’ve been crying girlie
Cos his face is smiling but his heart ain’t offering
It’s magic to you no more
Go rock your nest alone tonight
Let the moon song your grief
Wrap up tight your body untouched
Sleep will wash that longing feminine soul beneath
Maybe he’ll be back with soft animal skins
That will warm the bed you’ll sleep upon
Or maybe he is gone with the wind having inhaled you then left you forgotten.
for now breathe deep, give your prayers to the moon, for your love isn’t here for your sharing.
May his heart be honourable and his soul be true. May these nights not destroy your mutual caring
You practice non-attachment
Yet you  wouldn't want to do
Without water.
You let water own you like a lotus leaf
You allow it to hold you in its never ending cul-de-sac
Flowing between the total bliss of nirvana
And the joy of samsara.
You practice non-attachment to desire
Yet you're wanting
Desiring
Craving
Water. Ponds. Lakes. Streams. Seas
Your thirst is inextinguishable
Wild awake rain
And as you drink that unquenchable flood
Your lips are watering springs,
Sipping fountains of primordial tears.

Letting go of attachment
I awake to a deeper truth
I am just the instrument
I pray I am played well today
