Quiet your mind and you may find
peace in such stillness.
Your life feels like chaos when
the music drowns out any possibility of
silence inside.
How can you even think with lyrics of
mesmerizing dandelions
clanging through your consciousness?
From the left and right
distractions dissect your attention.
Why is it so hard
to turn off the music?
Silence is scary—
a frightening thing to befriend.
Some fear the dark, yet
you fear the quiet.
I wrote this with music at full blast
Falling plum blossoms,
wind takes them—no one noticed.
Was I one of them?
Fading lantern light,
river carries what once was,
stars don't turn to look.
Night swallows the sun,
leaving only shadows tall—
we remain,all that’s left.
Ripples spread outward,
Echoing across still water,
Emotions ripple, too.

Streetlights flicker on,
but no one notices the dusk—
is it always this quiet?

A cloud hangs low, still,
pressing on the city’s spine—
does it ever breathe?

Her name was a whisper,
drowned in the noise of my thoughts—
I could almost hear it,
but never quite enough.

pillow-soft
silk & skin
full—
meet
light pink petals
trembling,
sheet-tangled
marks on a body
blushing feelings
sweet nectar
lingers—
delicate, fragile folds
kissed by dew,
hush

Sky so blue,
we walk as one.

Wind so soothing,
our fingers brush.

Eyes so deep,
I couldn't return.
Or maybe,
loved, then lost.
