(2013)
Wrote this after commuting to school one foggy day.

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?
Fresh Seattle rain Cleanser more of soul than streets I envy that sound Such simple pure harmony Don’t forget that umbrella!
I pray for the day When my mind is clear Silence, sweet silence Schemes and impulses forgone To live without a shadow
To etch a love song No earthy ink can suffice Only color drawn From such a naive heart-well Could paint even an inkling
Perplexity breathes Into the hearts of all men In heart beat matters We shy our true intent like An elephant in the vent
Twelve in numbered spin Once reaching double digits Feel the crisp brisk sweeps Sudden gentle remainders Subtle breath of orange array
A soft fluttering A pulse that pushes beyond Beating of the heart Oh to express the joys of, A soap opera here and there
A sudden rain flux A faintly calling whisper To turn off eyelids Yet I cannot shake my dream For just another hour
Ask me who he is A tall tree and branches keen words drop; leaves shaken I try to collect them all But forget them by the stream
To cover the tears Some men will drown their sorrows Some just run away Some even will board their hearths To me? A path of rom-com
Flickering between The realms of light and shadow Why not close the shades? Sleep’s alluring charm welcomes Despite such early hours!
Howling and wailing Like the vast October winds Delightful to find Many who share the same chord Sing till frogs jump in our throat…
Is there something dark? Dark, dark, deep down inside me Something that keeps me Away from the center ring A divergent path indeed
Busy decisions Like an endless moon cycle Such a waxing life
Self-expressional Crooked poster on the wall Self-intentional Will you shatter, will you fall? Who will fix your frame of old?
