he has no mouth and he must scream
i have a mouth and i must scream
but what for?

was the devil waiting at my door?
was it because the sun will shine no more?
was it because i can’t find the truth of life?
or was I see green as gray, and day as night?

he has no mouth but he must scream
he has a reason to scream
i have my mouth and i can scream
but what am i screaming about?
i have my mouth and i must scream
but i can’t seems to find out why?

Soft butterfly wings
Caught upon a spider's web -
Entangled the heart

I say, I smoke not.
And I do as I say.
Then why do procrastination feels like one?
Making me an addict when in stress and anxiety.
Giving me the comfort yet controlling my actions.
Until I finally feel like a fly caught up in a web,
trying desperately to free myself.
And I say again, I smoke not.

Weighed tons as I walked stuck with it, the glue.
It was dyed blue, I must be well but can anyone cure this chronic flu?
No medicine there to fill that void like affection do.
I want to break the cycle of having no clue,
From this stuck pattern, turning it into geranium from that past navy blue.

silver spider silk

sticky threads glide on the wind

the spider's season
near the end of every summer, baby spiders can be seen flying through the air on their silken strings

In honor of getting older,
wiser, sillier and bolder -
I have decided to take the shackles off.
They keep me safe, but curse me soft.
As my life has flashed before my eyes,
Suddenly, I have come to realize -
   I haven’t lived enough
      I haven’t loved enough
         I haven’t danced,
            nor laughed hard enough.
fear has consumed me since birth.
it cannot consume my thirties.
