  • Same Day and Same Time

    A season of colour and love,
    time beading every moment with it;
    some faces are a crowd now,
    but still travelling in the time of the mind —
    just like flowing water through a pipe,
    I am ceasing my every dime,
    close to heart and life:
    the same day, and the same time.

  • Day of Night

    How do I handle this fear,
    that trims away a part with every tear?
    How do I cross my mind,
    when I am swimming in a sea of time?

    How do I come to know myself,
    when I know I am lost within?
    How do I show my past —
    just the pieces of a broken heart?

    What should I write about life,
    when all I know is that it moves on?
    What should I try to forget,
    when I have seen myself become a past?

    Should I believe what I have seen,
    or shall I try to live my own?
    Should I mourn every day,
    or bewilder my thoughts one night?
    Should I note everything down,
    or shall I forgive, and forget?
    Or… should I just be doing it?

  • To Be or Not to Be

    I would rather cross my mind,
    and travel, alone, all of mine;
    or behead my day, so full of head,
    and, a day or more, live my life…

    I carry all my deeds,
    and the beads of my hate;
    I whisper words of shed,
    and expect my own side…

    To the lonely night and day,
    I dare to love once again;
    travelling all myself, an unknown way,
    I recall some of the lost rain.

    It is turning to summer, for a change,
    and I glance back for a familiar face;
    but I witness myself in a crime of dilemma:
    to be, or not to be, a part of this life again…

  • When I Feel

    I don’t love just to fill my emptiness;
    I love when I feel.

  • Being a Time

    For a while, being a time,
    I try remembering myself —
    my will, my words,
    my pain, and a world of happiness and sorrow;
    and, for a time, being myself.

  • Wish I…

    I just wish, sometimes —
    wish I could only hope,
    wish I could only believe,
    wish I could only see thee,
    wish I could only love,
    wish I could only help,
    wish I could only walk,
    holding one familiar hand of my life: my childhood.

    Wish — when I wished for everything, and I had it;
    wish to be back when time was innocent;
    wish when the sky was an endless beauty;
    wish when the moon was my friend;
    wish when I had nothing, but my peace;
    wish when I had the courage to dream;
    wish when broken houses were only card games;
    wish — I could wish, now.

  • A Glimpse of Life

    It is just a glimpse of life —
    the one I love when I close my eyes,
    and the one I fear when I open them.

  • Gazing Life

    I recall my life, and reckon it through its flakes;
    I have come so far, in an exile of time and its frame.
    Not the plain I have come through,
    not a bed of roses I have laid upon;
    not the shelter and comfort of the beheld and safe,
    not fearless of loss, or of weakening dreams,
    not loved and cared for, all the way — but
    I find a tranquillity when I look back at time.

    I step forward, and watch myself run afar,
    to reach the end I always admire;
    but the trees left behind, the shadow of them —
    be they lovers or friends, I hold them still.
    And in the nostalgia of time, I whisper my lonely words:
    “Wish you were here, to complete this journey.”

  • Real Face

    A face upon a face,
    we wear a new one every day;
    I cry today,
    I laugh today —
    contextual, sensual.
    But every day, I gain a new face:
    I hold my fear,
    I behold my thought,
    I scare my own life,
    I hide my tears,
    and wear one upon one,
    and say, “life moves on.”

    The longer I go and come,
    the farther I close off my thought;
    but again, on one more night,
    I wear another face —
    secluded, and scared;
    hideous, and gorgeous;
    lame, and shamed.
    And with the night, I put on my real face.

  • Lost Night

    A glimpsed day, and its thoughts;
    dreams, and the far reality of life;
    someone to know, and to love,
    someone to call, and to cry to,
    and one to call your own.

    Sheared eyes, and time,
    seeking for the one that’s lost;
    to the past, to the future —
    something to remember, and to forget,
    something to hold, and to let go,
    and one to keep safe, inside…
