Starry when the night began, we ran ran ran
along running water young enough to have no trace of age.
Alice strung out floating like the prettiest diamond
imaginable.

Kindly petting cheek then struck like a thunderous match,
her face glowed a sinking white-- a face made of candles
lit beneath plaque eye sockets, wildly staring blackness,
lips built on an unfamiliar shade of red,
Flaxen hair that sliced along gemstone irises;

I love love love you. Please, stay a while longer, long
enough to feel like forever-- although I know such is impossible--
Look at those seagulls feeding rain to the distant waves,
Wings soon to be scrambling overhead, let me read you a book
about a girl whom you were probably named after.

I will sing a lullaby and hold hold hold you in it for
as long as I can.

I saw you today
and although its been months
my heart still doesn't know how to act when it sees you .

my hands shook and trembled at your arrival
I thought every thought twice
and then three times more .

will it be like this forever,
will I always be a slave to my feelings for you ?

Is it the ghost in mirror
Or you making it to fear ?

Oh Dear! It is you
And the nasty mind of you
Who host as ghost with no cost

There is no haunted place of ghost
Where God exists the most

And if God is everywhere
How can the Ghost be anywhere

It is you who developed the Ghost
To make so fear in human’s thought

And the impact of horrors
Created such ghosts
In your own mirrors

Real ghosts are the human itself
Who made such false belief

Human made all natural efforts
And commenced to believe in devils

With ones own creations
Human gave birth to all evil spirits
Or the super natural creatures
As you believes

But why human created such horrors
Is to terribly terrify the real you in mirrors
Or is it the wickedness of human bombers
Who suffocated your mental fears

Yes it is the evil spirit
Of a living devil
Who terrified others
With his super natural beliefs
On poor cowards

But how far you live with such fear
Oh dear! No need to be in fear
Just relax with all your power
And believe there is no horror
As a blind spot of your rear mirror

It is you who made fear in mirror
And that fear in mirror is the real you

You are the one
Who made dark as horror
And night so fear

A Bleeding mouth
Long nails and teeth
With white gowns in dark night
All are the fruits of your devilish thought
And designed to panic all humans thought

Get rid of such devilish thought
And never surrender in others thought
But is possible if you are not a evil sprout

Make your spirit so high
And let your fear out to fly

So tear your fear
And jump out of such mirror
To know the real you in mirror
Who is none other than the God of power
Ghost in mirror is the real you who is the creator of devil with evil thoughts.

How did it feel
When you turned around
Rain chafing off your umbrella
Shiny shoes tapping on wet pavement

How did it feel
When you turned and walked away
Did it feel like cinema
Did you feel like a masterpiece
Never looking back on me
How does it feel to be an actor in your own life's production?  How does it feel to have the world as your stage? How does it feel when the curtains close and you're all alone and you realize that nothing you have is real? Do you ever get tired of playing pretend?

to be an original
I am human a genetic pattern
for the future of the past
I am the present to all tomorrow's
I would like to be an original 

a unicorn poet, the one and only 
finding meaning to the words
left discarded like trash 
in literature's cracks

creating a full meal from scratch 
sweeping up the crumbs
for intellect to snack 
thoughts out of bound
no throne or crown

a new way to show you to the door
to let the metaphors fly
free to soar from sorrows pity
the fools self-inflicted broken heart

mythical and wise
to bring insight to the inner peace 
of man, beast, and machine
to no longer hear the war cry


to bring the dawn of possible dreams
a ladder to the bridge,
to the next evolution of life
to give to you not ask of you
a place to sit and absorb our universe

Besides your beautiful smiles,
your foolish laugh,
your silly jokes,
and all those ways you
tried to comfort me
and understand me.

From all of that,
I fell in love with your flaws.
where nobody would,
I fell in love wanting to be that person
who can be right beside you and love you
for who you are.
Not because of your beauty,
but your flaws is more beautiful to me.
I try to reflect the reason why I suddenly fell in love with him when at the beginning I told myself not to. It was that moment where he opens up to me and told me "finally someone appreciates" him. And from that moment, I wish to give him the comfort and love he deserves. But yet, now he has left me out because... idk. I just dont get it why.
