unsavouredi fought it, once.
i built whole walls out of promises,
out of other people’s hands,
out of mornings that almost felt real.
but you’re here now,
and i am tired.
tired of pretending
you aren’t the ruin i want.
tired of pretending
i can be anything else.
she deserves better.
he deserves better.
i am not better.
neither are you.
you say hello,
and it feels like the end

undertowi should walk away.
i know that.
i rehearse it,
mouth the words
like a prayer i don’t believe in.
but you’re standing there,
and it’s already too late.
she trusts me.
he trusts you.
we are the knives
in their backs,
still warm with guilt.
you smile
and my ribs crack open
like old doors in a storm.
i don’t want this.
but i do.
i wish wanting you
felt more like...

DiggingJust keep digging
Keeping busy
Going deeper
Until the memories fade away
Just keep digging
Deeper still
Lower and lower
Convinced you can run away
Just keep digging
Until you find
The sudden truth
Her face will never go away...

The VoidLooking into the void
Trying to find hope
Looking into the void
Trying to find promise
Looking into void
Trying to find happiness
Looking into the void
But you weren't there anymore...

Ghost Messages
I miss you.
Maybe I should tell you.
Maybe I should tear through the distance
with something as simple, as foolish,
as a “hey, you crossed my mind.”
But what if you see my name and feel tired?
What if my hello feels like a burden
you forgot to put down?
What if I am the ache you no longer want to revisit?
I...

Our second trip on ANZ day2024.4.25. Thursday
It was ANZAC day, a public holiday.
It was our 2nd trip, we visited SR.
Misjudged the weather, cloudy and windy,
Crossed the bridge twice
Misread the bus time table,
Ended up wasting lot of time,
Sitting at the bus stop waiting.
The weather was drilled, the sky was grey,
The wind was brushing on our faces,
It was cool than expected.
On...

Grotesque SituationIt is such a grotesque situation
I can’t verbally match how I feel
Seems I’m staled in a dissociation
I can’t say what I want to reveal
If I could get some help, I’d be glad
But there isn’t a sign, so I’m worried
Cause it looks like I’m back from the dead
And I’m living again the whole story
As the...

Aprilwaking to rain
remnants of the storm
the cat prowls past my bed
memories of love stir
I’m alone
in the silent room
my heart beats
the sun bleeds through clouds
a poetic leap
trees sprout leaves
to live is to live again
trees sprout leaves
a poetic leap
the sun bleeds through clouds
my heart beats
in the silent room
I’m alone
memories of love stir
the cat prowls past my...

Transparent TeardropsThese transparent teardrops gently smack onto my table,
As I am writing a letter to the first love of my fable,
Praying for him to soon forgive me as much as he is able....

When Death Comes UnexpectedlyYou had two months to live
No one told you, no one warned you
No one knew
I can’t look you in the eyes
I tried, a thousand times
But what once felt safe seemed savage
What once was certain proved damaged
The wreckage was drastic
Do I blame myself?
Or do I blame you?
You had two days to live
No one told you, no...

Loss And TriumphLoss and Triumph
You will always be the deepest part of me
Though I may but rarely pass to see
How life affects you, how it makes you grow
If you fail or prosper, will I know?
Forgive my having to leave you here,
My heart's whole hope, my children dear.
Cruel circumstance has forced my hand
To pursue my fate in a...

At the Sound of Your BellAt the sound of your bell I rush to reply
But it rings in the dream I see
In a moment away it flies
There’s no us in reality
Once we were, then we disappeared
Died for no reason at all
But the sound of your bell I hear
Be assured I have heard your call
Comes the evening, the day is gone
By...

Unspoken Miles
The map lies flat,
a deceit of inches,
centimeters whispering
false intimacies.
Your voice,
a ghost on the wire,
once a warm hum
against my ear,
now a brittle echo
across continents,
time zones a thick pane
we press against,
unhearing.
The scent of rain here
carries no memory
of the petrichor there,
no shared sigh
as the dry earth drinks.
We build bridges of words,
fragile spans
across the silence,
each message a small step
into...

Behind the Closed CurtainsFrom here, behind the closed curtains
I can’t see the world outside
I lay in my bed, uncertained
If there’s a reason to find
Why should I get up and get down
Go shopping, get on the same track
Why cannot I hear that sound
The sound of your voice that pulls back
This curtain, and then I would see
The most loving smile...
