every night I can feel it
the craving in me getting stronger
a gaping wound, opening once more
just to show what I lack

if you look into it
you'll be greeted by a void
for I have nothing to offer
nothing to give

fuelled by all my wishes
all my hopes and dreams
it grows larger each time
but only seeing it when I try to sleep

for the hole keeps craving
and I fail to fulfill
so all it can do is wail
ripping my chest anew

hating but adoring it aswell
for it makes me believe
that maybe one day
tt will get what it's been wanting

but maybe never
so I start to ignore the hurt it causes
only focused on the beauty it brings
but the relief is only temporary

at one point I will have to face it
before it overtakes my very being
filling it with either cement or soil
closing it or letting it grow

so each night when I lay
I shall listen to the void
and maybe one day
it will respond

for all the nights I felt like I was missing something

an envelope of
time is sitting on my mind
waiting does happen

The difference between you and I

The difference between you and I

The shards you see
There in the grass
Look a whole to me

Perspective be
Diamond or glass
What is it to thee

Thanks Mom

I remember sitting on my bed
waiting silently for you to turn the lights off

always hiding my emotions
but on the inside I was so soft

couldn't let anyone notice
had to seem unbreakable

no I wasn't crying
I've lost that ability long ago

and I truly know
I look so ******* ungreatful

but

I want to thank you
for helping me getting through
all of this

the night
it will end soon
can I hold on?

but I know
for every day anew
you will guide me furthermore

thank you.

Exude

The sun light in purple flare peeps through the bamboo starks, its stripes in stride of leaves bubble at the hissing sounds of a conceal long belt-like tread bidding its time to hit its target and as well defend itself.
And Like the cobra the chameleon dodges between the blistering colors of the bamboo yellow and it’s straying green for dear life.
And minding the dance of the Hunter and the hunted; the cobra and the chameleon, is the hulk hovering in the distance sky in colors and shades as the hen gathers its chicks.
At the teak bush of my Ezi the blue sky lines with the departing sunlight in silk white and gold gives hope of a life from that of the pre and predators in today’s world.
The conqueror is also the conquered, a true testament that the sky is an open hall but our starting points.

Ezi is my town and my people of peace,brotherliness and community of great minds

Maui Clouds are rolling by
Palm trees shimmy and Hula in the breezes
Gently embracing the ancestry, ,tradition,
and people who care about what was and what is
Their ancestor’s (Kapuna)memories and achievements are profound and respected
As is wisdom
Grateful to hear the language and words with joy everywhere
It is truly magical and mystical
Honolulu, Oahu ,Kapalua Maui, Kauai and Kona
Peace  and calm
Joy and wonder
All Majestic natural beauties
Royalty and  Pleasure Personified
Love for Mother Nature and her children
Don't forget Hanalei in Kauai's North Shore.
Rugged and pristine.
See Poipu on the South Shore
of Kauai where Jurassic Park was filmed
Ma’lama  Makai- care for the ocean
Ma’lama ka’aina - take care of the land
Ku’u Pu’uwai
Land is the source of knowledge
Ma’lama Ika Aino
Dear Hawaii Maholo
Mahalo nui loa
Mahalo nui
A hui hou. Til we meet again
Anuenue means Rainbow
Please visit Puff the Magic Dragon in Hanalei if Peter,Pail,and Mary mean something to you
