Behold my soul, both meek and bold,  
A story of love, yet untold.  
I am but dust, and you the sky,  
In your embrace, I live and die.  
  
I am a whisper in the wind's soft sigh,  
A fleeting shadow beneath your eye.  
My heart, a flame, both fierce and small,  
A spark that rises, then dares to fall.  
  
In the silence of your gaze, I am found,  
A river of thought where echoes drown.  
You, the vast horizon where dreams take flight,  
I, the spark that flickers in the quiet night.  
  
Through storms of time and winds of grace,  
I seek your light, your boundless space.  
I am the soil, you the star,  
Together whole, though worlds apart.  
  
In your arms, the world does bend,  
A circle that begins and ends.  
I am but dust, yet in your sigh,  
I live, I love, I breathe, I die.

Together for a year, I thought I’d make my move,
But our first fight shook the groove.
You said, "It’s fine if we don’t talk anymore,
I’m fine without you," repeating it more.

This aggression, it stings, it stays,
Are you fine—or just fading away?

No one can describe

my sweetheart, in any case --


no one who knows her.

standing on my balcony
night sky
pitch black
no light to see

i think to myself
the only person i live for
is me

it could work out
life could be better
maybe one day
i'll settle for the good fight

i guess its alright

that the stars aren't out tonight
Life,
built and driven by dreams,
compelled by needs,
conquered through opportunity,
sustained by dedication,
longed for by desire.

Desire, which drives dreams,
with the folly of burying them
in the present routine
and in superior external decisions.

This partner desire, divided,
by indecision and power,
by wanting and duty:
yields and withers.

Surrendering to destiny and fate,
woven into the horizon,
blind to the present,
credited to the past,
premises of the future,
entangled in possibilities
irreverent to the central,
present, and adjacent conditions:
of life, like metamorphosis,
mutable, unavoidable, and relentless.

Faced with assumptions and
eventualities,
is what’s meant to be, to be?
Perhaps, in the undulations of the search
for the fleeting existence.
"I only know that I know nothing," yet trying to reflect a little about life.
A bunny found their way on my screen
Back when my humour was dry and obscene
Who would predict that years later
I'd somehow find no reason to hate her
and long to even have her wish I could be there

To a woman who grew with me, granted in a different direction
Whos personality was striking, infectious
Whenever I get that first paycheck, I'll have you in mind
To gifts you may never see, where I hope in humankind
We meet once more and hug like we never could and thought absentminded

To your eyes, that even caught me off guard on a digital screen
To a hope for a physical gleam
of that beautiful smile you so vicariously show
To your everything, ive been Blown
Away, time and time again, how you've grown

Saranghaeyo, I won't deny it any further
Even if we don't speak, I seek you with vigor
How I'll wait military time, diligent like Bam
I'll buy every piece of merchandise, every Lego, ever hoodie
And then some, Cause surely
I'll meet you properly again, someday


Maybe I'm Shooky, fell on my head with a Mang
The lingo is no fun, when you have no plan
No direction, only seogtan in my Chimmy
Shall I say Tata? Now that I have the gravitas?
Swimming in a direction, so willing

What point is a bias, when one only loves a byeol
A star thats barely known, yet shines in my soul
A human so radiant, her being brings me joy
From naïve to the very opposite of Coy
Willing to give the world, where he hates it himself

I'm sorry, for misusing you with my words and anger
I can't see the band the same, where you brought them, a manager
A genre I'd never in my life get to touch
Is something that makes me miss you so much
And for that, I hope you read this one day and laugh


Son-ga-rak ha teu, I love you Bun Yoongi
The name we figured out together
Please, in this or the next life come find me
And tell me all about Bulletproof Boy Scouts when you see me
Again, I hope
Saranghaeyo
Something that came to me at 4am (Right now, I'm exhausted heh) when I thought of her yet again after a spike of emotions. I wish to show her this one day if Heaven grants me that privilege. BTS is cool.

वो पहली मुलाक़ात, सामान्य से हालात,
वो तेरा चुलबुलापन, होठों पर मुस्कुराहट।
जब भी मन मायूस हुआ,
तेरा नाम लिया, तुझे याद किया।

बेसब्र कर देता है मुझे, अगली मुलाक़ात का इंतज़ार,
याद कर लेता वो मुस्कान, आ जाती है जान।
फिर से एक दिन काट लिया,
तेरा नाम लिया, तुझे याद किया।

कैसे कहूँ मोहब्बत है तुझसे, अपना बनाना चाहता हूँ,
अक्सर दिल की बातों को, स्याही में ला पाता हूँ।
सहम जाता सोचकर, कि तूने इंकार किया,
तेरा नाम लिया, तुझे याद किया।

जुटा रहा हूँ होंसला, लाऊंगा जुबां पर,
स्याही के लफ़्ज़ों का, कर दूंगा इज़हार।
इंतज़ार है अगली मुलाकात का, इस रात दिल संभाल लिया,
तेरा नाम लिया, तुझे याद किया।

धड़क रहा दिल ज़ोरों से, जो थामे हूँ तेरा हाथ,
इन नन्ही सी उँगलियों से, मिलता है विश्वास।
हैं साथ तेरा जो मेरे, पा गया जहान,
इन प्यारी सी आँखों में, देख लूं कायनात।

लगता जैसे हैं हमारा, जनम जनम का साथ,
काटना चाहता हूँ, हर सुख दुःख तेरे साथ,
आँख खुली, एह्साह हुआ, सपना मेरा टूट गया,
तेरा नाम लिया, तुझे याद किया।
unspoken love, longing, and fear of rejection, focusing on anticipation, memories, and emotional conflict.
Cast in shadows, sea and sky,
Your eyes, lovely shade they were,
The same shade that colored my heart,
When you left with not a glance,
A cerulean gaze of innocent light,
Turned as deep as the foreboding night,
Tore me asunder,
Those crystal blue eyes.
Syafie R Jan 17
The Beast broke free, love set him whole,
While I remain, a Phantom soul.
His curse was lifted, his heart now sings,
But my humanity only stings.

No mask of fur, no monstrous guise,
Just human hands and hollow cries.
A heart that yearns, a fate unkind—
A curse of flesh, a shattered mind.

The Beast found joy, his pain released,
But I, unmasked, am still the beast.
