My soul itches for poetry,
Fingers long for the tap of keyboard or scratch of a pen.
My mouth curves around syllables,
Missing the way they slam against a microphone
As I make myself heard amongst a crowd of those
Who know what it means to be beholden to this master,
To write lines of a poem the way some breathe the air,
To be so made up of adjectives and metaphors
That I no longer know where I begin and the poetry ends.
I am simply molecules and letters masquerading as a human,
Trying to become whole again on paper.

i am just a vessel,
a rotting human body.
who's always longed to be cradled,
but I have nobody.

i am just a vessel,
a display of pure loneliness.
who's desire is all to be nestled,
despite all the emptiness.

i am just a vessel,
nothing more than that.
has always been the lesser,
waiting for the time I'll rot.

Do not take people seriously.
Not when things are good
But even more so when
Things are bad;
Because people are uncertainties
And, so are you.

Do not take people seriously.
Not when things are bad
But even more so when
Things are good;
Because your life will be deceived
And, so will be you.
Good and bad are only labels. Do not get deceived.

-I mean, it feels good to daydream,
and have that in a quiet room,
with the rain falling over next to you,
feeling the droplets on your warm skin ..

- There's something about water
that really makes us feel more alive
at its touch.. and the sound and smell
of rain bring us deeper into that
perfect state of daydreaming..

-Because it reminds us of a forgotten ancient time.
When we were single-celled organisms,
swimming in the water,
living and breathing it.
Although, humans don't have a direct memory of it,
the collective consciousness have a distinct, indirect
memory of that experience.
More like muscle memory, I suppose..
This especially is what is providing us with quite a good, peaceful feeling of being in close touch with Nature and Water.
It reminds us of home..

-That's beautiful.

Soul of the caged bird:
Today, I am sorry that someone saw my pain,
I feel in a small place.
I am trying to make myself comfortable,
But my soft heart wants to fly in a big place.
My gentle mind wants to sing a happy song,
But I end-up getting heartbroken while singing.
I want to let God know that I am in the wrong place,
But I never get the chance to let God know...
After, somehow I got hope,
But my pain doesn’t get lessened by God or the Universe.
Today, I saw the chance by two humans who noticed me,
They were listening to music and I wanted to enjoy as well.
But all the music got lost in my pain.
And nothing happened by them.
Once again, I lost the hope of being a bird in the sky.

What is it that makes me miss
The lighter fluid on your lips. Toothaches from a temptress,
And her candy kiss. Arm’s elastics wrap me up. So foreign,
Is this human touch. Like a siren she swims and sings,
To lure me close enough to clutch. An ephemeral embrace,
That chews me out and spits me up.
Love eats hearts for lunch.
Love is a luxury I can seldom afford.
