Second Sunday and the church bell is tolling.
A million black ghosts hover around you,
Perhaps finding the choke of white flowers consoling.
But I know their time of wilting will come soon enough.

How dare they
Bring me here.
A silent scream into the swirls of smoky incense,
Filling the hall with scents of ash and our youth together
For me, pouring just one glass would never make sense.
So they tell me, this will fade.
Don’t force it.
Wait your turn.
But I’d rather stay in your reality than their lies.
So I beg them:
“Please, let me burn.”

On a self-seeking desire to have someone
who I can vent my rumination
I stumble accross your name,
For a long time, I felt being resilient again

Despite wires tangled in my fingers,
I barely reached the button where we can connect
As if it was freed from decades of being chained.
And there is more here, you noticed me.

Your message betokened glimpses of a pensive mood,
Unlocked a door of your concealed emotions,
Lamps started to light up again from the sky
This is my arrival to your gloomy life.


I promise to never leave.
After a long time, I was able to scribble for someone again. This is for you, you.

A comfortable bed, with the fine touch of feathers,

The warmth of heaven, where my body would meander,

I could dream of anything, anything at all
Of beauty, of lust, of bliss, of all
Of happiness I have always wanted to clasp
But with these worn-out hands, povery is all I can grasp

I can dream of nature, that is wishing to pass through me
Of the tying clouds, with each turn turning gloomy

My hands can wrap over all of the flowers
Each of their petal, with my touch in delight
But with my shattered eyes, all I can give them is fright

Only in my sleep, I become a dreamer
While I am awake, I feel worse than the reaper

My scent disgusts even the winds
That break upon me
Like my shattered dreams

And though my dreams and my comforts are all in a nap
The stale street and its cold is all I can have
A poem on poverty and a person's resentment over his conditions
What the society thinks of him and what he thinks of himself

Because when I see you, my chest does boB
"Love" is it? Can't figure of what to calL
Amidst friendship, in my heart you're a samarA.
Illuminated my dim life, conversing 'bout you and I,
Released I from gloom, chained I to laiR.

Many papers that i wrote
Sometimes about feelings, sometimes about the cloud
I send it from my heart to the dessert
Let sand choose the ways
Will it passed or be erased
But the ocean understand  
When the letter comes away
It's never be bored nor be late
The letter makes the sky jealous

I can feel it every now and again
The depth of my heart
Or where it used to be

It used to sing so frequently
Now it's lost it's melody
Now it's hard to remember the beat
Because there isn't one

When you chuck a stone into a cave
You wait to hear the echo
But if you throw one into my heart
It'd never hit a solid
For the space is empty
Where it used to sing

The rain, falling softly on her skin
The pain, entering her lonely soul
Dark and gloomy, falling down a hole
In love, a tragic tale
Everything, smoke, mirrors, and blackmail
First, everything was fine
Living on cloud nine
One drunken night is all it takes
He made a few too many mistakes
She stayed, followed his commands
“Don’t you ******* tell” he demands
A painful strike across the face
She was a disgrace

Afraid to believe, afraid to confess
She was an angel in distress
All she needed was a knight
Too bad no one was in sight
A beautiful girl, everyone loved her
A sinister man, he was a saboteur
She wanted to leave him, to get out of there
All she needed was a sinner’s prayer
Too bad no one was in sight

it isn't that i'm claustrophobic, but the demons want to play hide and seek,
but i have nowhere to hide.
