The sun
parallel to the moon
stagnant
between stars
clouds
hidden behind tears
of unwanted beings
perhaps
what became of our despair
despite neither of us
too desperate to explain
between man and God
time and space exists
humanity makes a living
from what we saw
did we encounter life as it is
beautiful, mistakenly driven
by what miserable
wants, needs and nots
we on the other hand
are guilty to what we hold
for the future is of our past
and the past is only
for our soul

You
Dreams
are made of these
of me and you
like how we first started
our first kiss
our first touch
those first words
the first love we ever had
strangely enough
there are no words
that could explain
when you've found her
like how an ordinary life
would be
without the incidents of love
passing through
what brought us here
and here we are
with our lives barely new
thrown dead into love
for what craving
to touch, to kiss and to hold
without complying to whatever
comes in between
and through all of that
it was worth all the pain
the happiness, the joy
for I could never imagine
living my life
with anyone else
but you

For my MJ
Inhale
like the rhythmic section
was in your lungs
transaction
diluted flow of energy
to the soul
magnitude in degrees
how far up you are
from the ground
the art of poetry
like the chi rising up
lighting up
every haze
just blows me away

Freedom
Freedom
take me away of my connections
let sleep not
fail us again
Freedom
you were the hands that guarded me
I grew up in a place called Dreamland
that now I have been stripped off
Freedom
my cries are useless
as I recite in your arms
hugging you
so I could forget hunger
so I could forget pain
Freedom
take me far away from my connections
let sleep not fail us again

The last love letter
I have a line of notes
lying about time
lying about the things we have left behind
I had dozens of wasted energy
but precious memories put us in this line
I hated the way I hated myself
but it wasn't my fault you'd already left
I had no space to provide
how painfull pain was when it just had to hide
I wish I had a chance to right the chances I blew
I love you
guess you'd already knew
