Many shun me for how I look.
Yet envy me for how I think.
But I'm just like the stars -
My Youth arises from the brink
And up it goes to the horizon!

Look at the burning constellation
As they emit their gleaming rays
And radiate a passionate fervor...
Transient, only lasting for days
It's time I shine bright!

Stare at me deeply through the night
And find that my gaze's a labyrinth
That enraptures your every attention
That I was ugly was just a myth...
I just age like fine wine!

Before we run out of time,
You'll find my Pandora's box
With curiousity creeping in,
You excitedly open its lock
And find my darkest secret.

Love. Will you take me?

Set me free
And I'll grant you my wings
As we fly
For eternity.
Icarus is flying too close to the sun but who cares? Sometimes we need a bit of ambition.

I live in fear
That I cannot say another word;
The pain descends
On me like a thousand bursts;
Slicing my torso in two.
The burning flame accumulates in my chest
I just want to let it out-
The ebb and flow of unspeakable tones
Articulated from my ***** into letters
Of scarlet-red BLOOD :
Bearing my shame,
My anguish,
My torment
But most of all, my happiness
And faith.

Sometimes I still open my box of memories,
Only to remember the __ you sent me.
All its good, bad and crazy, ____
still lives
__in that ___.
I still
__ about you every time,
When my mind rests and returns to
_.
Your__and what we did last time,
Forever cannot be undermined.
Ages ago the mind would tell me, "Forget it,"
"Why do you still want to think about
_?"

But the more I paint over the hole in the painting in my mind,
I keep getting reminded the hole was there.
Maybe this painting, this __ , is meant to exist,
Meant to be remembered. We may feel __ about it,
But it will always be a part of us.

We may change it, amend it, try to paint over it,
But it always stays there, the original remains a scar.
However it doesn't feel like a scar anymore if you just change
The way you see it.

Like Adam and Eve,
We were made from Dust.
The same old dreams,
The same old lust.

Where farthest aspirations
Were carved in clay,
Now thrive in contemplation
Narrated on screens today.

We share the same pigment
That colors our blood within,
Yet we change treatment
When color varied on skin.

Each word on paper once declared
Human ideals and potential
For Love and Care.
No White, Yellow or Black preferential.

May it one day, be done and there.

Carpooling, having heart-to-heart,
Pursuing my passion in literary art,
Karaoke with friends, never apart.

Feeling confident in my new shirt,
All their secrets, never out a word,
Cleaning my boots of all its dirt.

Day and Night we traversed the ground,
Camped out in the night without a frown,
I sat with my brother as the sun fell down.

Diving in the pool I swim like a fish,
Back home, I never worried about a dish,
You laid next to me and made that wish.

Shouting at the top of my lungs into air,
When the fireworks spread and all was bare,
I was glad that you were there.

My fondest memories,
with my friends
And my family.
Less of an attempt to write something serious, but more of a dedication and reminiscing of some memories I had in the past.

Our subconsciousness is extraordinary
Accurate and truthful
When I wrote down the people in my mind
Your Name was penned at a special corner.

When they talk on television
Or on the blasting radio
I feel a strange sensation
Your Name was ringing through my hearing.

As I read through the novel
Amidst the subway crowd
I chance upon the letters
Your Name hooked onto my eyes.
