(2013)
Wrote this after commuting to school one foggy day.
A soft fluttering A pulse that pushes beyond Beating of the heart Oh to express the joys of, A soap opera here and there
Just for a moment To glimpse from dusty pages A single white flash Tenuous seconds follow Until a roaring reply
Five points to this as stated thus… Five; to pick up things once falle… Four; to grasp all things from wir… Three; to greet, to cheat, and din… Two; to bind wild lovers with gold…
A blank white tablet Fuzzy buzzing silences Click, click, click, and yet That single black divider keeps Blinking an endless cycle
The words are muffled and shifting… The pounding won’t stop, the fraye… I hold onto a thread, a little blu… The tension is mine; it is a pain… Frenzied energy drains from my fin…

To puddle one’s words Few are willing to admit Myself least of all To fall and land upon earth Closer to Earth than before?
I pray for the day When my mind is clear Silence, sweet silence Schemes and impulses forgone To live without a shadow
Distractions of youth Parade like bright spring flowers Always on the mind Entangling my weak heart To the land of mud and ice
Words without meaning An open mouth seems empty Trying to express Something that dances lightly Forefront of a clouded heart
A sudden rain flux A faintly calling whisper To turn off eyelids Yet I cannot shake my dream For just another hour
No words escape me The sun will rise tomorrow Or so I am told
Such an empty sky Countless pensive glances are Over and over Swallowed swift, before their time If only I could keep them
Tonight I awoke to an orange hori… one that I had never greeted befor… It took me back, to the days of ce… and disregard for the ticking of c… Part two:
A midst cold classrooms Seemingly short dialect Audio-connect Slowly frozen hearts will drip As conversations bubble
