A new leaf is like an epiphany
Surge bright and strong.
For tomorrow is an awakening,
and tonight tempus fugit.

Every living person in this world
has their own universe
hiding in their eyes.
How beautiful is it then, that
when two people gaze into each others eyes,
they are in that moment,
sharing their entire universe
with one another.
The eyes are definitely a window to the soul; a person's universe and existence.

have you ever met the boy?
you can easily pinpoint what boy i mean if you close your eyes and listen for the song his soul is faintly singing, his heart beating in time with the melody.
if you listen to his soul song and heartbeat you will see explosions of colors that don’t exist
beauty will surface within things you’ve deemed ordinary and insignificant
the stars will dance against the velvet sky and the sun will shine just a little longer
if you listen to his soul song you will begin to feel the urge to dance
to sing
to paint or write
to run and jump
to do anything that ignites the fire in your chest
the warmth of his lingering love keeping you so cozy that not even the bitter winter winds can touch you
if you listen to his soul song
your soul will stir from its hiding place behind the walls of your heart
and
if you’re one of the lucky ones
your soul can sing alongside his in the most mesmerizing melody that even the saddest hearts will rejoice at the sound of
close your eyes and listen beyond the words that he traces on your skin
listen beyond his laughter ringing through your mind
listen beyond the whispered “i love you’s” that are exchanged in the early morning light
while you’re pressed to his chest under the covers
capturing the sleepy kisses that tumble from his lips
if you listen to his soul song
you will hear the way you make him happy
the way he is thankful for you
and how you’ve revived his belief in happiness
you will hear the way he wants to wake up next to you
and only you
forever
listen closely
can you hear it?

When you’re happy: take a step back, look around, and appreciate what you have. A lot will change in a year.

When you’re sad: take a step back, breathe, and don’t worry. Remember, a lot will change in a year.

Let me see your eyes
Run to me with your mask off
My mind is ready

I've come along way since I was a kid, riding a trike.
But why are all my poems getting these likes?
Poems are usually written for literary folk.
But all my poems are just a joke.

I might try hard, my soul might be hollow.
But if my poems aren't good, why am I getting follows?
I don't even think I'm very good at this.
So why am I only getting support, not any dis?

Well, whatever. I'll just keep doing what I do best. Writing whatever I feel like.
Even this poem is a joke.

He asked me the question that
I've avoided asking myself
Fearful of my emotions,
so I steer my thoughts elsewhere
Diverted myself towards a different road for so long

But there it was in the stillness of night,
where all the distractions had faded away,
that specific moment where the only thing that exists in you is sincerity
In that serene moment the question became inevitable
So comes in; A memory,
a distant feeling that feels so familiar
So the windows open and let out only a drop amongst the billions and more
that had been shed inside silently,
every time the question was avoided
Dreadful of this sadness,
I so desperately tried and tried to numb
All this time, thinking I had to sacrifice my
one only true passion in life

He catches the drop and smiles;
"but you see, you are the master of your own freedom"
It was in that and there;
The memory sparked
and was uncovered from its
tight dusty bandages
The only person or thing to have ever truly stood in my way is I and only me.

So in my tearful epiphany, I finally answer:
Unfulfilled potential

I am walking on a land
so full of wonders,
I get to eat its fruits and water so holy,
I too become holy
Lucky am I to have eyes,
to witness its dreamy trees and plants,
to feel the sun kissing my soul with it's rays of light

Stepping on this green land beneath my feet, I am healed
The breeze of air gently touching my hair
The smell of the beautiful natural surrounding, I can't get enough of
My ears are blessed everyday with the sound of birds

Truly magical is the beauty of nature,
why can't you see?
I am swimming in paradise
and I am not the only one,
miraculous is the Mother Earth,
because it lets all creatures to swim
in this eternal bliss ♡
I wrote this when I was 18.
It was a beautiful summer day and we were visiting a local arboretum. I saw so many different kinds of flowers, plants, trees I've ever seen in my life that time.
As i was walking the long evergreen paths,
i realized how much beauty there truly is all around us. All the gifts of life that we have taken for granted. My eyes opened and it was nourishing my soul. I started to appreciate all that i see, all that ever was given to me.

The help has arrived, but they don't wear an apron or a coat.
No hats, no starch white collars.
The help came from inside of me, deep down in a place that I could not see.
The help came from a person I didn't know I was until I looked back and tapped on the glass, watching the fishes dart back and forth.
The help loves me, the help wants to see me succeed.
I was always the help. I was always the key.
If you look deep inside, and crawl around on your hands and knees... The help is inside of you, too.
Set yourself free.
Help lies deep down inside of yourself. Sometimes you can't see it.
