THE STORY OF MY LIFE

I was ready to tell
the story of my life
but the ripple of tears 
and the agony of my heart
wouldn't let me

I began to stutter
saying a word here and there
and all along I felt
as tender as a crystal
ready to be shattered

In this stormy sea
we call life
all the big ships
come apart
board by board

How can I survive
riding a lonely
little boat
with no oars
and no arms?

My boat did finally break
by the waves
and I broke free
as I tied myself
to a single board

Though the panic is gone
I am now offended
why should I be so helpless
rising with one wave
and falling with the next

I don’t know
if I am
nonexistent,
while I exist
but I know for sure
when I am
I am not
but
when I am not
then I am

Now how can I be
a skeptic
about the
resurrection and
coming to life again
since in this world
I have many times
like my own imagination
died and
been born again?

That is why
after a long agonizing life
as a hunter
I finally let go and got
hunted down and became free

LOVE JOURNEY

This Love journey

is surely the hardest and

most twisted road i have taken

I began the journey

but my heart

is still dragging behind

wrapped around your feet.

THE SWEETER PAIN

Her broken pieces lay scattered across the floor.
He slowly lifted one.

The sharp edges stung him, cutting into his skin and making him bleed, but.... he hid the hurt somewhere behind his smile and continued to pick the others up.

She watched him in disbelief, wary with distrust, did not understand why someone was making the effort to put her together, when nobody had ever done so before.

People came, tried to pick up a shattered portion but withdrew as soon as it pinched them.

Then why was he still here? His hands were now a shade red, covered in cuts and bruises, a reflection of her heart.

Slowly, carefully, he help rebuild her, yet she was not herself anymore, for each piece had been marked with his fingerprints and smeared with his blood.

The black of her sorrows was fading away, yet she was now coloured in a sweeter pain.



* in half awake, she wonder about him being like that, She felt blessed and grateful.
