How do I look?
I look good
Not that good
Notice my smile
Is there any bent lips?
Not bent at all
They just move following white rhythm

Look
Inside my eyes
Do you see ambition?
Unforgiveness?
Intentions?
I do have all
You just can't see it
My look tells something I don't hide
It only can't speak

Are you surprised?
People have been surprised of many things
I am people
I only live my own
You don't see it
Strenght
Survival
Burden
Talks
And mind
All humans ever do
Leaves something on my look

the past cannot be undone
what is done is done
& what wasn't now is
acceptance is closure
the present is your gift
make sure the past isn't interfering with its growth
because you can go nowhere really fast
& your future is now dependent on the past
which of course won't last



-Nani

I was contemplating
On a hot sunday late-morning
On things where I went wrong.
Should have's, shouldn't have's;
They seemed to be what went wrong
Until I got back to the present,
On the dining table
Where I was seated in front of,
When a lizard was now staring at me,
Perhaps disappointed with how
I did not feel him inching towards me
Or maybe wondering
Why I never notice
The things happening before me.
Now is this bird
Who just perched on the balustrade
And gave me a quick tip of the head
Then flew away,
Telling me to instead contemplate
On parts of me where I went wrong?

Roanoke is like webbed toes; really weird but in a way that makes you wanna cough or throw up if you look too close

Hazel eyes on the bus
I looked for you,
You looked for me.


--Watercolour

look at me like I'm the star that shines
   the brightest
like I'm the only one who puts your patience into tests

give me back the words that used to
   comfort me
retrieve the tears that fell down when
   it shouldn't be

let the butterflies fly again
   and prove me why you should be my
   man

Late nights
Sitting behind brightly lit screens
Always searching
Never finding the answers
You would try to sleep
But the thoughts wouldn't cease
What is your purpose?
Why are you here?
There are so many questions
So you search and you search
Never looking within
Always looking around

In a room full of people
my eyes wander across
their faces in hopes
that I'll see you.

At night when I
crawl into bed
I'm hoping that my dreams will
lead me to you.

When I read my
favorite novels, their
lines remind me
of you.

And although I haven't
seen you in quite awhile,

And I'm sure you may not
remember me...

I still look for you.

And our hearts desire more,
So it's this that we'll look for.

As we walk along this road,
We'll travel so far.
But if we come to a stop,
It's never the end.

And our hearts desire more,
So it's this that we'll look for.

As we continue,
We'll come across obstacles.
But if we struggle over,
It's now in the past.

And our hearts desire more,
So it's this that we'll look for.

And once you leave my sight,
I can no longer look.
But once you vanish from my heart,
I can no longer live.

And my heart longed for you,
But you could never see it through.
