The Suffering AlienThe suffering alien
He just lives in the world. Integrated life, but alien
He feels, experiences, and interprets existence
He discovers human life. In a human body
The alien
To live in this age is a fantastic privilege. Says alien
Rapid development, complex social environment
Look around. Continuous change, genesis
Said the alien
There are so many connections, causes, and effects
Nuanced meanings and invisible...

Deprived of your loveLike a raging river barreling toward an arid basin,
sediment collects inside a hardening heart.
Weighing heavy, eyelids flutter over drowning maculas;
all that can be seen are murky riptides.
Vision cuts out.
Frantically flaring arms desperately try to skim the surface,
dragged deeper into an unknown chasm. ...

Heavy tale
Present me with different patterns,
A person without anxiety within.
What I mean is, make me feel you,
Within the same body,
Unable to extract duality,
Be my twin baby.
From the inner sense of the events,
Look through a telescope from a distant land.
Let simplicity be in your latitude,
Let there...

A Japanese Tanka Written in Response to Pensive Solitude on The Eve of This NightAn outcast this night,
I mournfully sigh with gloom:
but, I make war, fight!
to rebel against the doom,
and emptiness of my room.

Hidden StarsI did not ask
for the world to stop —
just for the echo to answer.
but silence
grew its own wings.
so i followed
the quiet,
to the river,
to wild grass,
to birds that sing
before dawn.
there,
i learned something
soft and strong:
that I can keep walking
even if the stars stay hidden
Now—
I walk not to be followed,
but to feel the ground
under my feet.
To breathe
and know:
i...

Solitude“There is a pleasure in the pathless woods,
There is a rapture on the lonely shore,
There is society, where none intrudes,” - Lord Byron

Slow Down-Slow down-
Even the sounds of
rushing red waters
pulsing...
drown out the beats
that blare in my head
- Slow Down -
My thoughts spin like a carousel of fervent beats,
while I watch the harbors of still waters,
a gentle surrender to time, drift away.
Every stride toward solace
meets the rush of a furious current
that demands to be heard.
BREATHE
They say.
But...

Nostalgic FeelingPutting in writing
Listening to others
Listening to myself
Leaning on my feet
A chair, rose in a vase
A bird singing outside the window
It hurts so much that
I want to pass out for a few days
It's shameful. It's scary. It's furious....

Too Loud to Stay LovedMy tongue, a beast that bites me first.
I wanna shut it down,
never to speak again.
My voice, a wild river,
Yet keeps flooding, careless of consequence.
My lips, in a race,
while everyone hopes—
“Would they ever learn silence?”
My brain, too messy,
Spills out without a thought.
All cures, I’ve tried—
Nothing worked.
The words kept flying—
Some hurt. Some haunt. Some hang in the...

Death Comes Home
Leaden clouds sweep swiftly in from the north,
Blanketing the sapphire skies in melancholy.
Deafening, rolling thunder cracks
As a mysterious chill sends a shudder up my spine.
A faint knock rasps at my front door;
Whispers circulate, ringing through my walls,
Echoing my name ever so sinisterly....

If I must be aloneFrom early days, my path diverged alone,
Not as the others danced beneath the sun.
Their laughter echoed; mine a silent tone,
A melody of one, by none begun.
The brook’s soft murmur spoke in tongues to me,
While others heard but water’s gentle flow.
In rustling leaves, a cryptic symphony,
A world within, where only I could go.
The tempest’s roar, to...

PULL ME OUT
Lost
Underneath this despair
Lies darkness that loots
Loots the humanity inside of me
It is darkness I see,not humanity
It is darkness that sees me,not humanity
Dead
Dead
Is the light of hope
Hope for the light that outshines the darkness
Darkness that loots,the sanity inside me
Gloom
Gloom
Fills the heart that loves,that loved
In the time of emptiness
Gloom is what fills me,gloom is...

If only this could last forever
feels so close I could walk up and
with my finger touch the moon
seems like nothing else
exists and i’m alone
swaddled in a tranquility
that’s magnificent and surreal
i can feel it pulsate to the beat
of Mother Earth’s cadent heart
there’s a distinct aura of tangible complicity
and this is where i belong
right here in the now of it
