what half my heart
butterfly Jun 2017
trees inhabiting the land
under the summer sun
my heart sings
termites came with their sickles
half my heart, I cried!
save mother nature!

meditation
butterfly Jun 2017
scanning the body head to foot
with steel mind and equanimous
legs crossed and eyes closed
scanning every cells and nerves he comes across

scanning scattered thoughts in the dark cell
where sankharas clung from a shipwreck years
bleeding in pain but still and sharp
cutting every root of miseries and wraths

dissecting, disintegrating the body piece by piece
with steel mind and equanimous
observing thousands of rising sensations
with the wisdom of anicca anicca anicca

sleeping volcanoes arisen
despairs dissolve to dust
vibration flows, space free
metta runs from the depth of a milky way

scanning, dissecting, disintegrating
with steel mind and equanimity
wisdom of anicca anicca anicca
purifying the galaxy from the ******* of dukkha

anicca anicca anicca
paññā paññā paññā
a poem after my 10 day meditation retreat...
Sakharas = defilements of the mind
Anicca = impermanence
Paññā = wisdom
Dukkha = sufferings
Metta = love

the unbroken
butterfly May 2017
the unbroken in the air flowing
sprinkles universe, earth and trees
chrysoprase of the land

the unbroken in the water flowing
soften the stony,  tamed the beasts
rhodonite of the mountains

the unbroken inhabits the earth
soil fertiled, flowers bloomed its grace
cease insecurities

the unbroken in the air flowing
sync yellow n blue, yin n yang
engendered the earth

the unbroken in the water flowing
rage calms, exhausted nerves revitalized
prisoners unchained, free'n blockages

the unbroken flowing
universe stands
serum of the earth

the energy
flowing within and without
the unbroken

Goodbye My Dearest Sun
butterfly May 2017
You are the sun
cast light the garden
warm the moon
touches the river
calms the flood at dusk -----
the smile I draw on the sky

I see harvest as you shine
rays in every leaves
grew the farm
kissed the earth
sang the music of your heart
a whistle  and a lightness on your face
                            
The sunset has come
and carried you away
darkness fell
I fell on my knees
powerless as you're asleep
People stay awake having coffee and bread

They put you in a box
when you called fire
They put you six feet the ground
when you asked for ash
Those your blue book
they swallowed and spit

The ******* of religion
they cradle like child
I was so broken
my heart is revolting
against the shared fate

You’re a free spirit
sun of the sky
you’re rays reach 
every angle of the world
you hold the big heart
in your chest

"Adios
Mahal kong Ama,
Adios"

Ikaw/ ka = You
Ako/ ko = I
Papa = Father

when in stillness
undying screams within explode
anxieties crawl like bugs
under the skin
of which the world is deaf n blind

when in stillness
callued demons awake
trashes revealed
clogging up the mind
for hundred years or so

when in stillness
they melt away
energy recharged
vibration flows the vines
lightness comes up

eyeing n  eyeing n  eyeing
the mind pattern n sensation
with full awareness of which
free from cravings or aversions
to stillness and equanimity we sync

Violin
butterfly May 2017
Run your fingers on me
as you put your hand around my body
Press every vein - strings I have on me - hard and smooth!
until that sweet sap comes out like pure honey.

Savor the sweetness of my sap
as your body melt with it until
You and I will collide into the space
with our minds blown away into the milky way

Tightly, hold my body then let go of
the love that wakes every living dead man on earth
i miss my violin

the antique house cafe
butterfly May 2017
an antique house
sits happy and run banquets
every glint of the moon
***** of beams spread out the sky horizon -
giving warmth and fascination

tables and chairs parties
with delicious drinks and cakes
glasses and plates dance its music beyond the wall
the munches and the cheers and the sips -
reverberating all my senses

smiles welcome you
“come join the party with us
feel the pleasure of your home
as you eat your time on"
At the corner,

a big collection of words
quietly squatting side by side
that reads a strange tongue
and a nineteen sixty three vintage camera
sitting on a run down shelf,

my curiosity my fingers
run on its face in wonderment
the cozy sofa looks pale and gray
carries the weight of the earth
looking sad and tired

but gives pleasure and comfort to all
love and pain
under the spell of mango and peach tea -
carefree spirits
only stirring memories

with our spoons out in the air
and we breathe
smell
eat
to our endless satisfaction

with your eyes closed
melt with the stillness within!

loving someone
butterfly May 2017
loving someone
sweet and dearly, and
to be loved by someone
is sweeter than honey, but
loving oneself
is the sweetest shield,
one must bear
leave most nectar

weird dreams
butterfly May 2017
i wonder what this dream has to say
a cluster of orchidaceae blooms
out from the right side of my chest
crawls up clasping my breast
to the base of my sternum
decorating my *****

i wonder what this dream has to say  
a lil gecko flashes my very eyes
creeps in the right sole of my foot
then i slit open my sole
he's pleased to see it crawls away

i wonder what this dream has to say
A centipede slinks out from somewhere
i smash it to death without regret
and a relief to see it's dead!

i wonder what these dreams have to say
do they say something to you?
they may not be digestible  
but I love to take a bite of your mind!

adios mi amor, J.S
butterfly May 2017
the pacific howl of the wind  
into the ocean came
as you sweetly whispered
Goodbye Kitty Goodbye
my ***** is covered with blue
and held a valley of rain

no longer go
spinning fibers into the night
no more roving for fourth or fifth or sixth
the final spin has come to end
the time has changed its course
the voyage into the unknown is upfront

hold thy wings and be thy strength
into the silent solitude of the night  
with the summer laughters and joy
drawn in the palms from the summer days
the time has changed its course
the voyage into the unknown is upfront

time to let us go
we kissed one sweet goodbye
under the sad moon
i cried
echoes from the heart

munch - cakes  -dance!

you and i
sipping nectars  - o'er -flowed the brim
bees bathed in it with joy - then
left its honey on our plates --

shall you and i
see again
in that high carpet heavens!

cancer to the brain
butterfly May 2017
clouds of loneliness -
fear of loss - Doubts -
selfish desire is a cancer to my brain!

i wonder if there’s an antidote - i can swallow -
instant and painless
or should i go through an operation
painful but sure

i wonder if there's a cure?

black silhouette vale
butterfly May 2017
black silhouette vale sits my garden
face withered hallowed eyes laden
haunts my garden till the flowers grow barren
rips tears and cuts throats
mourns mountains of graves

i wonder if i could dig a hole
give a rest for her soul
may the moon lit up her Madole
the stars shine her face
the birds sing her lace

i wonder if we could run a talk
walk like friends
may her heart plays her music
her feet dance with joy
her hands reach for mine

i wonder if she leaves my garden
never comes back
may I mourn in joy
sleep in peace
for black silhouette vale sits my garden

i wonder if
i wonder if
i wonder if

the lonely tree
butterfly Apr 2017
as i gaits around the pavement
under the sun with my weary heart
wrapped in my pockets
wind whispers to my ears

lonely tree swayed its branches
sad and blue
leaves fell on the ground
swept by the summer wind

i lift my head up and stretch my arms
gave him a hug
my heart jumped out as he hugged me back
maybe we're gonna be best friends
so I climbed up on him and threw my weary heart into the space

in a hollow
butterfly Apr 2017
a growling dog jumped on me one night
in a hollow to ****** the baby in my arms    so fragile
my fist came to his face
but bit me nearly to death
blood scattered everywhere
but no one seemed to care

the dog ran out my sight
so      I checked the baby if he's okay
i see The baby was unharmed
undisturbed and asleep    so tight
i wonder  "Why did the baby not cry"
yet I'm full of worry and fright
in a hollow

i spotted two people close by
so amused to themselves as they stood by
i wondered if they have a sight of me
oh god I hope they're not blind my plea
but they seemed not to hear me cry
for help, I don't know why

i'm so scared
what if that beast comes back
and devours my heart out
as his fang in me - tacked
i'd scream and scream
in a hollow      alone and dark

is this just a dream
reflected my fears all in
and how can I escape from here
so uncanny and surreal
how can I wake up
when my soles have rooted up
in a hollow of fear

A Poet's Awakening
butterfly Apr 2017
It's a long long time,  
This Poet in me, been sleeping,
A real gem, lives within,
Finally got awaken,
After this heart,
Of mine bled and broken.
Now it's narrating,
That a Poet takes over,
And is my new lover.
Fervor is her pen,
To put those words penned.

moon
butterfly Apr 2017
moon smiles upon a tree
                    casts the light through the dark blue sea
          speaks in silence to me
    brings peace to my arc as it may be

                                moon stares at me with smile
          through my window at night, as I lie
whispers to me, good night; sleep tight
            draws on my face the smile I ensile

i rushed to climb the rooftop one night
                    to meet the moon and stars in the sky
i waited and was uptight
            but no moon showed up to say hi

                                  melancholy clasped my body so tight
        might moon come out tonight
            if moon glint not tonight
my soul forever will smite

those little things
butterfly Apr 2017
feel that lazy ***
stay in bed.
watch those movies
or tv series.
eat on the screen
watch basketball game.
toronto raptors 's favorite team
derozan 's  the king!
lie on my thigh,
eeel the velvety skin of mine.
close your blue eyes,
as I read your book
gaze into my eyes,
behold, as our bodies collide
with the supernova,
we feel more alive.
dance with me
under the moonlit beam.
play our favorite music,
as we sway our hips
kiss my rose
as I eat your banana
touch my ears with your tongue

stay at the beach.
snorkel with the fish.
swim with me,
happy as can be.
sit on the sand,
on a sweet summer time.
listen to the waves,
rushing to the beach.
feel the warmth of the sun,
as we lie on the sand.
feel the gritty texture.
and the breeze.
swim with the waves,
sway me up high,
as we collide
*I Love You

sweet lil memories
butterfly Apr 2017
sweet lil memories taste like honey
how sweeter they could become
if only they could never be ended
yet simply they're as fleeting as the day

sweet lil memories built from years devotion
packed with suns and rains - in silence resonates
those film strips are made for memory sake
be reminisced by those  sweethearts --- apart---

lingering sweet lil memories in mind --- nested--
arouse the mind -- so highly addictive
light up my face on rainy days
i sleep with it day and night
i sit with it or
dance with it
until my last breath say goodbye

but
if sweet lil memories give me heartache
i better let it be in the deep sea
so i won't be crushed by its weight

nightmare
butterfly Apr 2017
i'm writing this in between
                after that bad bad dream
                    it felt like I was nailed up
                        as I struggled to wake up

                                          my body paralyzed in bed
                                                    i couldn't help but dread
                                                          as cold wind touched my nape
                                                            my vellus hair stood up straight

that sense of eerie crippled my core
                                                              as i felt his coming to my door
                                                then i heard some little footsteps
                                          and creaking at the hinges

i clasped my body so tightly
                          as i saw death coming to me slowly
                    my brain searched for that nerve
          to shake up my senses to leave

i felt my leg made a kick
                  then, I stood up pretty quick
                      my heart agitated
                              as i grasped one deep breath
then, i stood up pretty quick
my heart agitates
as i grasped one deep breath

dreamland
butterfly Apr 2017
as i close my eyes
a land so bizarre appears before my sight
full of mystics, stillness, and trickery
and this hollow heart of mine
sprout the **** of curiosity
how could this be so real?

a flash before my eyes
the sky lifts me up so high
and stretches the arms of mine
like birds soaring up the sky
i flap them side by side
with my heart in wonderment, I ponder

reflects before my very eyes
an aesthetic resemblance of mine
with great affection gazes at me
with awe our eyes meet and merge
lil flowers sprout out from between the ******* of ours
a chest of exquisite embellishment

this strange land far away
where i set my foot with ease
waters crystallize and dance with elegance
flowers and trees smile and breathe
how could this be so real?
then suddenly...

darkness fell on me
mystic land decayed
waters ran blood and miasmic
flowers and trees  called out death
i trembled in fear I want to flee
but the grass clasp my legs impossible to leave

— The End —
