letter to be sent Published: September 26, 2025

I fold the silence into paper, address it to your absence, and let the ink wander where my voice could not. Every word is a bridge half built across distance, collapsing into the river before you ever arrive. .

glimpse of you Published: July 30, 2025

I hate it when my tears blurs out my vision, when I am trying to capture the most incredible view. The view that's gonna be winding to my heart and mind forever. I hate it when my throat sores when I am trying to capture the glimpse of you having fun without me. No matter how much I try to despair the fact that I love you, it's gonna come again and again to me and knock on the door of my heart saying, "you are stuck forever and there's no elude...."

longing Published: June 29, 2025

memories etched in my brain, toes curled into sand same ten toes interlaced between my ten fingered hands. your smile so warm embroidered by the sun washed away like the waves of the ocean as you’ve become numb i know it’s wrong to long for you, i really do try my thumb it brushes past your lips, nails dig beneath your eyes i want once again to relive the day you ran so free of pain but i can’t regret what i’ve done, even as the blood paints your face like rain i finally hold you in my arms; selfish greedy and gross yet it’s that twisted sat

His Love Speak Without Words Published: June 15, 2025

He skips his wants to provide for us more, Smiling even when his heart is sore. He instructs without talking much, Lessons are concealed in every touch. He keeps our hand through every fear, Wipes away our tears and stays near. He instructs strength with soft tone, And makes us feel we aren't alone. His arms are safe, his heart spacious, A universe of love he holds inside.

Lost between despair and delight Published: February 01, 2025

Your heart is suspended, entangled in the threads of destiny. You are a complete, colorful intoxication but every intoxication is bound by helplessness. In the vast sky, when you show the drops of your colors You play with the wind and the earth’s sweet soil. When the soil of existence is stirred, I become lost in a state of madness For you are the throne of Adam’s fate, a portrait, A vibrant intoxication tied to the threads of destiny. At times, like your fragrance, I too drift in the air, abandoning my earthly existence, I plead for a prayer,
