Cooked

Rice is cooked to be rice. It’s the same name, yet not the same. Raw then cookedβ€”

β€”

sometimes you know someone is cooking you; just pretend you don’t know that you’re being cooked and feel your own love

(In)Visible Monster

Not under the bed, it’s what she’s slept with since she was a cute baby.

β€”

I am obviously my own monster; haunting, hunting me forever will be πŸ’ the best company ever

Love Day

What is love day? 
A day when love is precious?
Only once a year?
How stingy human being is!
To express love only on that dayβ€”

Maybe they are afraid
Of saying love to
That they love dearly.

Maybe expression is
Embarrassing and too low
That they dump it cruelly.

Maybe love is considered a myth
Scientifically unproven
That it is skipped.

Maybe….
So much maybe.

I will still love
You
In silence
As
Love has made my heart pretty
Although rejection and ignorance
Once made it ugly.

All days are my love days.

To my
Belovedβ€”

β€”

learned love from texts
looked for it everywhere
found it in beauty
the love keeps evaporating to the air that is breathed
melting to the water that is sipped
repeatedly exploding to illuminate the journey
let me sing love songs in silence to and for you
and sweetly silently celebrate it when i’m wishing to be

Forgiven But Never Forgotten

β€”

Remembrance about the beloved is river flowing to the sea.

Catching Dreams

Feathers fall off from the wings of flying-high birds. Dreams ready to catchβ€”

β€”

the true dream catcher is this heart

Singing Heart

This heart sings. Its notes witness through pitch and tempo. Genres of the soulβ€”

β€”

whatever the story is, i’ll tell it musically

A Dyed Heart


This heart is flowing fluid
Filling the soul with
Redness of bravery
And rage;
Pinkness of romance
And lust;
Orangeness of warmth
And attention craver;
Yellowness of glory
And jealousy;
Greenness of tranquility
And envy;
Blueness of peace
And mourning;
Whiteness of singularity,
And fear;
Blackness of mystery
And death.
When the soul blinks,
A spectrum ray chutes down
On to the ocean of mind,
Illuminates what’s to solve.

Is your face dyed as your heart is dyed, Beloved?
And your words
Your footsteps
Your breaths
Touch?

Or, layers of curtains shade your true colours?

Greed

All have right to live, yet some by greedily eating up others. Sigh.

β€”

the rose apple leaves in my front yard are helplessly eaten up by locusts
the tree is not as productive as before but the fruits are still sweet and fresh….
….and so many flowers are coming out, ready to bloom

Broken

What’s broken’s broken until connected again. Never be the sameβ€”

Travel

Travel light is fun,
With so little to carry.
Prancing deer,
Safe in the forest,
No tiger,
No bear,
Just green and breeze.

Travel full is peace,
With all so prepared.
Walking elephant,
Graceful in the desert,
No hyena,
No lion,
Just sun and breeze.

Let’s travel
With light heart,
Flying eagle,
Free in the high,
No storm,
No lightning,
Just blue and breeze.

Let’s travel
With full heart,
Humming alpaca,
Peaceful in the hill,
No distress,
No agitation,
Just earth and breeze.

β€”

distracted between travel light and travel full πŸ₯Έ
decided with travel full 😎 so full!

Your Eyes

Your eyes, Beloved
Drown me to a depth of soul
Where you hide nowhere.
