Tunnel Gallery

living in the gloomy dullness of life
I saw the piercing light
like the mobile phone notification flashing at night

walking through this unfamiliar tunnel
seeker of the illumination
stretch my arms to the walls
guiding my path in the pitch black

my fingers interpreting the rough fossils on the walls
they speak despair, torment, light and beauty
frame by frame these engraving paintings of art
I drench in all the emotions on offer
without sight
my kinesthetic fingers
reading them in wondrous

you are the light drawn me to the walk
your life I have experienced
in this tunnel of art
when I finally reach you
I will be undone, done and
completed!

Poetic din din

my love sick poet

on a bed of kale and potatoes

tossed about by exotic spices

home home homie home home

ruff ruff growl roof roof

ah howl…

howl…

Must be done



today I received your heart
across the ocean
it clicked with my half
to fill the void
I feel whole again

and yet
this return took all away from
your empty shell
left soulless
dragging along the mundane

a sacrifice you made
so the last bit of remain
has to die
before newness
bears fruit

 

Edification



I hold your heart in esteem
My Love
for the sacrifice you made
for me to be whole

I guard your soul in vigilance
My Love
for the devotion you gave
for me to be me

I protect your mind in long suffering
My Love
for the pledge you bestowed
on me to be your helper

How grateful I am
My Love
for you are meant for me
and I am for you

Imaginary friend

there was a tales from my childhood
to dig a hole in the ground
tell all your secrets
bury them with a seed
to grow a tree
bears bitter fruits

I knew there was hell below
all eighteen levels
none of my secrets secured
I altered the tales
to grow a tree
it bore sweet nectarines

I told all my secrets
to my imaginary friend
as tall as a Smurf
great sense of humour
soft hearted
geeky and nerdy

he has never betrayed me
remained faithful to this day
he holds all of me and
never leaves

today I have finally
given him a name
the cutest loyal friend
Chog ❤

It is not about the destination

Wise friends

How do I know?

how do I know you are my true friends
in times of turmoil

I know you are
in times like this
you put aside your own opinions
instead
you seek wisdom of the most high

I know you are
even you wanted to lash out
on my behalf
instead
you bite your tongues

I know you are
you looked beyond the pleasure of
anger outburst
instead
you tame the self righteous beasts inside you

How do I know you are my true friends?
It is in times like this
I know!

Reunion

a rib missing her hollow cage!Would your heart be mended

with my thousand kisses
to turn back the clock?

Would my spirit find you
just before you were beaten?

Would you know me when
I blew that dandelion to reach you?

Would you feel me
when my first wish
made by the birthday candles?

Would my arms outstretch enough
to fend off the cold regrets?

I have always been there with you

Vibe

we are in a code of frequency
wave and light in sync
with one breath

no wonder
we were deaf and dumb before
we vibrated into one another

here we are
orchestrating a masterpiece
in perfection

Missing the point

you saw the cracks
wanted to fix me
by your motherly love
but…but…
i ain’t broken
your love isn’t enough
cos
you aren’t the
rain
