Writing with and collecting
Vintage fountain pens.

Il dolce far niente,
To enjoy your life.

A star in the light,
bursting with no cause,
spewing darkness.
Waiting for the heart to mend its own,
just to burst unatoned.
Gathering glass,
broken or whole.
Stitching the mass
back together
by touch alone.
Looking back,
at a story untold.
wishing it would come on its own
Waiting,
and wishing.
On his constellations

I took twelve years to escape,
to build a new life.
And six words to make me
take you after all that.
Six, Seis, ****
Šest, 六, 육.
Six words,
[I became what you wanted... almost...]
made me crawl
back to you.
I'll let you take the walls I build,
because of you.
And I'll let you take them back,
If you'd only change for the better.
You could have a good mind.
If you tried.
Try for something...
If not me.

we are flowers,
we start of as seeds and grow to sprouts
then flowers that smile and grow
without a doubt, let our colors show!
but eventually flowers wither
petals start to fall.. still beautiful but not as strong.
eventually go away without saying hey goodbye its time to say my time is done I say.
so if you see life and its kinda bad.
just know your doing the best you can.
we are flowers meant to grow never truly forever meant to stay.
at least that's what they say.
so if you feel down right now, comment a "!!"and I'll give you a joke to make you smile, everyone deserves that chance.. even if its a glace.. everyone deserves

I. Necklace Giver
I understand that I hurt you,
I will continue to hurt you.
I can't stop.
It's like it is engraved into my bones.
I tried and tried,
yet it happened again and again.
I long for the day that I stop.
I wish and pray I can.
But the day has not arrived.
You're like a family heirloom,
Priceless in all the best ways.
The colors of the necklaces I bought,
Every time I wronged you.
And every time I will continue to wrong you
Endlessly, Until the end of time
II. Necklace Receiver
The necklaces are holding me down.
The gold and silver mistakes,
keeping me from the break.
I will try to break away,
but another necklace is added like a chain.
They are hitting one another,
breaking like the little remains of my heart.

I. Blue
Blue spills from the morning sky.
The sun comforts clouds as they cry.
Tears of diamond on my shoes.
Wearing denim, in the blues
II. Red
Red pulses out the vein,
bleeding into the dead sun.
Muffling the shouts and pleas.
Not letting the ruby out this time.
Stored until impending doom.
III. Green
The jade should be mine,
like a cat's eye.
Waiting in the grass for the reflection.
The jade glistened in the light.
Maybe this night will be mine.
IV. Purple
Purple sits on my crown,
while it blooms by my crown.
Weighing on me like bruises.
Cracking through the walls of defense.
Waiting until I finally burst.
Spraying lavender all over the universe.

The color black, is not only black
It is a mix of blues, reds,
greens, and yellows
All colors in some inhuman swirls.
Fighting over their position,
fighting to belong,
but getting swallowed into the midnight
The colors never truly belong;
they just stay in the abyss.
People use the colors,
shading the pinks, purples,
oranges, and browns.
Trying to lighten the darkness,
but it just grows larger.
Darkness grows.
Light shrinks.

The mirror casts a reflection, but I don't recognize it.
The eyes are mine
the nose is mine
the face is mine
But it does not look like it is mine.
The eyes are tired
the face is exhausted
even the voice sounds wrong.
The eyes were empty, hollow.
I say my name
The face in the mirror does not move.
The name sounds wrong,
like a stranger's name.
But not mine.
I reach out to touch something
It is not there
I look around.
It is a black abyss.
Only with the thing I think is myself.
I try to scream, and shout
gain the attention of anyone, anything.
No use.
Waiting for someone to join.
Someone to save me from the abyss
From this darkness
and the pain I suffer from.
I am stuck in the abyss
Waiting for the savior
For my knight in shining armor
Until then, this is a pain I am forced to wear
Like soaking wet clothes on my back
Waiting until it stops being so heavy, or when it dries.

You didn't use the gun on me
But it's burning like I was just shot.
I searched for the wound
For the Deep Red stain in my shirt
It was not there
If it is not there
Why do I feel like I was shot?
Deep in the heart
A constant, painful ache
Throbbing in my chest
But in reality
The silence was the bullet
And you were the one in control of the gun.
The Silence is deafening.
It is like I can't hear anything and everything
I can't stomach it.
It is sometimes a dull ache, sometimes a sharp one.
You patch up my wounds
Let the wound heal for a little while
And shoot me again, same place.
I am just waiting for the shot.
Maybe this time I will be able to escape
The escape is not a scream
Or a scheme for revenge
It is the moment I stop checking my shirt
For the deep red stain
When I stop crawling back
When the silence is just silent
When the shooter is gone for good
When I can rest
When the weight is lifted off of my chest.
But that is a day far away from here
Forever only in my dreams.

A Girl with a Powerful Smile
She’s just a girl with a wounded heart,
Yet her smile appears so soft and free.
Behind those eyes lie silent storms,
But she wears her pain gracefully.
She’s a girl shaped by misery and scars,
Walking through life’s relentless fire.
Yet her smile remains powerful,
Hiding the ache she never speaks of aloud.
She’s a girl with countless flaws,
But still chooses to smile each day.
For she knows how to heal broken souls,
And somehow mend her own along the way.
She’s a girl with no shoulder to lean on
When sorrow knocks at midnight’s door.
Still, she rises with quiet strength,
Smiling through battles no one sees before.
She’s a girl with no one to share
Her joy, her fears, her silent cries.
Yet she carries hidden bravery within,
Like a flame that never truly dies.
Like the moon that glows through darkest nights,
She shines despite her pain.
A girl with a powerful smile—
Painting the world with smiles again!🙂 - Hoi ✨

The early rising sun,
Removes the darkness,
Of last night,
The air starts to warm,
From the huge, fireball in the sky,
The birds are awakened, and start to sing,
We never know until it’s over, what this day, will bring,
A sun filled day, the timing is right, to get your head together,
In just twenty-four hours, tomorrow, could bring with it a stormy night,
The seasons, seem to change faster, as the years pass us by,
Ther will be days, that end, with a question of why,
Others, will be memories, of tears in your eyes.
Cherish the smiles,
That look at you today,
Like everything else,
They will slowly, fade away.

Life is a circus
with zig zag show
Even monkeys in zoos
captured hearts 🫶🏻
that was bit
emotional though 🙂
That little punch monkey 🐒
got trendy in internet
like a hurrricane or storm..
And that penguin 🐧
caught attention
with solo show.. 🫰🏽
Even elephants
ride bikes
without falling
in the stage hit show
And anything
can vanish 🪄
at blink of an eye.. 👁️
All that teaches
is the balance of
good and bad
(or) sad and glad..
Life is a circus
with various show..
All humans are
ready to play
their puppet show..
Life is a circus
like dancing show..
All are ready
to perform
some different moves..
Life is a circus 🎪
that balances its
ups and downs
like day and night
keeps the norm
of yin yang ☯️ form.
Life is a circus
with yin yang form
all that is same,
like zig zag shows
Life is a circus
on rope of show
all it matters
is how you balance
on that rope of show 🎪🫰🏽
Life is a circus
just enjoy the show 🤡

A man known as Billy Joe McCoy
Found something he really did enjoy
He used to hunt moose
But he switched over to goose
Because a goose was a much lighter decoy

I walked past a garden of flowers,
A garden of love.
I dived into a sea of stars,
A sea of memories.
I couldn't bring anything,
I was late.
The flowers ended up drying,
The stars ended up bursting.
I was just lost,
Admiring them.

This life is not a race,
Yes, we are floating in outer space,
Do you concentrate, enjoying the moment, with you,
Are you always thinking, what next you will do,
Welcome quiet times, without any distractions,
Think about your life & soul, interview, get to know you.
The thoughts you think, creates everything, you do.
The material world the last few decades, everyone seems,
To be into it, in many ways, has created a society, where,
Everyone looks far, and tells stories, in negative ways.
The more you buy, and stuff you have, does not create,
Real, true happiness, on any day. Happiness, comes,
From simple things, in person relations, creating, accomplishing,
Something, with your own hands, you cannot put a price,
Worth, or value, when you see a true friend,
With a smile on their face, no way.

Happy birthday to you, to me and to you
Every day is a beautiful day, a beautiful birthday
I offer my very best wishes to you and to you
Let’s live life to the fullest every single day.
Let’s be positive all day and night long
Let’s transform life into a beautiful poem or a short song
Carpe diem! Let the flowers and the birds live
And let the roses beautify our lives as we leave.
Happy birthday to you, to me, and to you
To our brothers, sisters, strangers and friends
Please offer or tender our helping hands
To all, to neighbors and the entire crew.

white turns to red
blood covers me.
Thick Hot and Persistent
i'm drowning within
consumed by my own sins
the pool grows,
and with it my disdain is too
I can't cope,
i cant escape
It's within me.

perhaps a subject already well covered. but I consult no one else,
who can expertly summon the artificial artifacts, no better yet,
art~iN~facts of prior expert~tease, and speak only and wholly
for myself, blatant, and openly undisguised
it is the spilling, the upward sensory explosive detonating,
in a pressured chest, the eagerness
to race, to complete,
find the next line, to define, to refine to get the balance tween
elegance and simplicity, to have the ******** sensory totality
of completely having spun off a piece of me and let it free float as a balloon, that may fly to China or get stuck on a telephone pole
just beyond my front door
=============
^ I write this midst the composition of another poem, wherein
unusually I feel the need to pause, collect my thoughts which are bombarding my atoms internal, causing a new fissionable element,
distinct and unique, my poem…next…

Of which I watch all the stars
Feeling like a child

Feels like a curse
An urge to work for
Getting more and more
Of things I can hardly
Enjoy anymore

Let's immerse ourselves in this moment here and now.
For we don't know when this time may be over.
Let's feel it all and let go of our doubt.
Life is too short and our thoughts too loud.
Sometimes it's worth it to dive deeply into
Whatever shows for you today,
Take all you can, this moment is unique to you,
The harder you think the farther it may be away.

You know what!? F**k it
Just this once?
Let's abandon all the worries and make awfully ridiculous decisions.
Let's be reckless because time's a *****
(it slows down when we want it to pass quickly and it flies when we want it to never pass)
Let's wear that dress sitting amidst the folded fancy clothes and not care about the fact that no one wears that kind anymore.
Let's gobble up all the snacks that's out there and not say a word about brushing our teeth.
Let's binge watch all those episodes and sleep until noon and wake up with horrible hair and not care.
Let's go and confront the guy who's confusing you with the things that aren't supposed to confuse you.
Let's try saying 'no' to the things you've been saying 'yes' to but thinking otherwise.
Let's sneak out of our homes and meet somewhere we're not ought to be.
Let's do all of those first times and you know what!?
Let's not regret.

Today eve is different
Spring makes me overwhelmed.
Sunset is painting the sky with coral red
Clouds giving touch up with heart shape
Some broken, some full
Overcome the past, present to rule.
A sweet, cold breeze runs through me
Taking away all my worry
Fun and joy, want again to be tension-free boy
A new start, this is the life to enjoy.
Embrace the flaw, the moon smiles
The world is mine, and I am free to fly.

Just slide the blade already
You're already killing me
Is it that you enjoy visual agony,
Carving up your trophy,
Watching the tragedy?
Maybe the key to your kink is "slowly"
Like you don't want to catch up with destiny
But can't pull yourself away from the debauchery
