let an ear hear
i'd prefer the water to run deep.
deeper than this soul can catch - to catch on fire.
i want the water to run still.
still as a candle on a wire.
for that is the only image of peace the mind can breathe.
to breathe is the rhythm of life. and life in motion is a life worth the notion.
and i want this breath to cover this ocean. i want this vapour to be a part of this great ocean.
as i soon lay my body to ashes rest, there are places where my heart must go.
there are places to where this mind must seek ease. as yet, chains and torment you have to show.
alas, i am but a written text. who will know for sure the deep connections between words and flesh ? none. i swear. by none.
i could be an impostor. a fake. a shadow. a doubt.
right as of now, i am merely text.

after an hour
i had better write this idea down before i chow down this tuna subway; i reckon that subways are the best loner lunch meals today. there's just so much in it, you have to stop and wonder.
as it is written:
i want love to be more than just a rhetoric set of words. to be more than just this expression we have found in our television screens - it has been perverted and homogenised. it has become a commodity for sale and trade at the expense of us. more than just a verb, more than a notion, it has to be a movement; a spirit embedded. it has to live and breathe. it has to be fluid and organic. it cannot be structured and contained.
by this, i want love to also exist in silence. i want it to prevail beyond all conscious though, because our consciousness is constructed by experiences outside of us. there is nothing new, nothing fresh within our souls anymore - everything is constructed outside of us; for consumption and we become mere reflections of that; even in the idea of love.
love doesn't need to be properly thought of: the flowers, the gifts and material things - sometimes, even the words we speak are all material. they have their effects today, but are all soon forgotten tomorrow. we must treat love like treasures in heaven: where all is built to last.
for its nemesis, love has to rise above not only by the hateful, but even through the lukewarm. for it is the lukewarm hearts that don't feel. that there is nothing. hate is inevitable; love must conquer it. if not, the power which exists in love is merely just a word.

i think we can classify all the things which make to what isn't love, but find it hard to see what it really is. for we all love differently. we are subjects of our own love. our own interpretation. and our own representation. there is nothing definite. nothing theoretical.
i am struggling with these thoughts.

this is aes
i don't understand it, but love has got to be bigger than this feeling.
a drive, an impulse, an idea, a song, an act, an emotion.
it has got to be bigger than this.
it has to overcome all previous ideas, notions and settings.

foucalt predicted as such; a design which was merely constructed.
what does such interpretation do to become representation ?
or was he proven right about the ideas of power.
fluid. transferable.
tonight, it was not in my hands.
how true he was in speaking about such a discourse.
how such self-righteous deeds and thoughts are mere rags for self in-dwelling.
foucalt questioned himself in relevance to society. he stood outside of it.
i think we all must stand outside once in awhile to see the filth and flaws in the system.
and the system is very wrong indeed.

highlanders
dirty second hands
passing you by
the mind is a beautiful, strange, wonderful and dangerous place.
where else in the world can you have perverse acts with someone who you don't even know and have just crossed between streets while not letting anyone know about it ?
i suppose the danger of the mind is to allow it to be the sanctuary of heaven or allow it to be the dungeon of all your thoughts.
Hello Monday.
It felt like you'd left your socks at the kitchen table and couldn't find the other pair.
and as you walked out the door, you stubbed your toe.
and the car wouldn't start the way you thought it would.
and then the storm. the rain. the traffic jams.
hello monday. we don't really like each other.
but you're here for a purpose. you make us appreciate the other days, and its passing so much more.
and how we all love to make love on you, Friday.

this little rambling. excuse the jargon.
going back into time, thinking about it at a traffic light, i question myself:
who was the biggest fool ?
me - who kept by you, waiting months on end on this screen through tears, fears and complications, for those little things, for those big things, for those wake up calls, for those left behinds, for those goodbyes. for those philandering nights, those drunk parties. those waking ups ?
or you - being selfish; thinking you could lie months on end, through this screen, left me hanging. thinking you could have had it all.
i'm sorry i have to come back to this, but the more i think about, the more i choose not to be a part of the system. it was always easier alone; why'd you have to drag me along ?
in the end, i suppose the writer was the bigger fool. look at me now and this text.
life is such. such is life. and here we are in all of its strife.
PEACE OUT!

maketh haste
something more/
i think i wanted something different in this lifetime than today.
but i think one must understand many things before he can accept many things.
but, you have to wonder, will this lifetime be enough to explore the uncharted ?
too often, too many get caught up with the idea of living, when they don't really live at all.
cause too often, we're made to believe that we're in this state of contempt - this state of satisfaction.
i'll look back at this one day, and wonder, did i make it outside ?
it's true.
i'm not as dashing as edward cullen; who needs to sparkle in the day's sunlight.
nor am i as beautiful as jacob black; who turns into a dog when he gets angry.
but i'm that ghost between the pillows and sheets,
hidden in your thoughts and burrows inside your heart.
and come soon, time, will allow me to grow flesh
and lips.
and then, do what you do best

trains busses and feet.
put your picture on my wall
let these hearts heal
have you yet to see the soldiers that fight with you on your wars ?
they are closer than brothers and will nurture you like mothers.
yet, you are your own man.
and you defeat the enemy by means of force.
let's lay down these arms.
put away our shields.
hold my hand and teach me peace.
the kind that comes from above and the one which works from within.

as we
educate me
fdasfsdf asdfasdfasdf as
there are points in times of days that you wished that it wasn't really today, but probably an epoch of somewhere before between this, and hopefully somewhere after.
i hate it when you disappear
i hate it when you disappear
nicely said nicely done
i find this day come to a close
and yet i still found myself lost in your letters.
the very fine words - between each letter - i find glaring at me ; lights.
and sweet melancholy and angels sing.
between these words, like letters of fine print paper,
i have found my reason for being with you.
tomorrow brings me closer to you

walking on a bridge
the more we know and learn, the less we know.
we are thought to learn and absorb information.
yet we never really question the validity and source of such.
we learn lifestyles, prejudices.
we learn how to react, we learn how to decide.
in all this learning, it's really a term coined: being told.
we are being told how to live our lives. how to react. how to decide.
we are therefore, not really learning. but reflecting.
we are reflecting the things around us.
which makes us merely; nothing.
let's try and be something.
stop 'learning'. stop being 'told to'.
we don't really have the term for it now,
but let's just start something.

Dear Vee Vien
Dear Vee Vien
This ocean cries out your name
with a message in a bottle
if you open up
you will find words that read
Happy Birthday
Dear Vee Vien
How we miss you so
Like a friend, a mother to a daughter and a lover
it's the way simplicity works between you and i
and in between all the hard work and passion
i cannot simply express it more simply how it has been such a joy to have met you,
to have shared life with you thus far.
and today, i celebrate and give thanks unto this day.
happy birthday, Veev.
with love
with love
hope you like the gifts.

this is my loneliness.
the way the machines around you hover, the fan above, the lights by the side and television below. they make a noise too familiar yet they taunt you because they were the ones who shouldn't speak.
and the silence which speaks suddenly screams into your eyes. and then sits in your mind. forcing you to go back into that space happiest for you. into that moment where you felt that even when silence was great, because silence with you actually meant something.
but when you are given the chance to listen to your own heartbeat, you can only hear one.
and then you miss the other.
you miss the little sounds your ears pick up. the cough, the sniffle, the rustling of hair. the snicker. the little things.
my silence is a shout into my head, my mind. and a spear into my heart. it has robbed me of joy. and it has only offered me loneliness.
for at many times, there is none who can compare.

gib
the tale of 4
i remember as the bus rolled in after those grueling few months.
it was finally time. it was here. it was now.
i remembered from across this hall. where eyes would find itself connected - in deep coy and play.
without the ability to extract words, these eyes were the only thing which could find its way to communicate.
and was it that you were lonely ? was it that you were smiling ?
i remembered those were the days. shy as it was. so innocent. so kept. so pure.
and now,
i remember. the day the bus pulled in and as i smiled at you on the way back.
you found that window seat which made the sun glaze upon that mirror frame.
you said we'd never cry. how i remembered i promised the same.
and i took that long great look at you and realised how possibly, i will never see you again.
and i broke that promise of those tears.
i didn't love you. but i was glad that you were there.
you returned to your lover. as i had to wait for mine for years.
this airport.
these doubts in my mind
i'm looking for a new sky to call home.
a new mind - refreshed, pure and new.
in search of the things i used to know.
humbled by this morning dew.
i don't want to crash and burn
but to live it out and learn
take me there. lead me by the hands
take me there. i'll learn to breathe again.
take me there. i'm opening up these eyes again.
take me there. you promised to never let me go.
don't lead me unto false hopes.

sounds
it's funny how there's so many people around, yet nobody here.
if silence was a sound, it's something speaking to you.
unpleasant and deafening.
how i hate you.

and what a power for abuse.

and there he was, longing for you.
with one last cigarette in his hand, he began to converse with heaven.
and made conversation with purple clouds.
as the lights flickered ; he asked for rain.
to feel.
to embrace a feeling longed and almost lost.
the sensation on his skin. a refresh.
a touch. a conversation. a meaning. something.
alas, but no rain, as he tried to burn up the smoke which hovered.
yet, in his solitude. there, for the first time, he encountered no peace.
but wonder. but questions. but to no avail, all had failed him.
he brings himself back to more wonder: where had everyone gone to ?
where'd he find himself back unto this silence.
and as he understands the bane of running in a circle, he found the purple sky, his friend and his foe at the same time.
and as he struggles with the battle of the gorges within himself.
he suffers in silence to those without a questionable ear.
he is but a shadow that walks by day, and almost nothing consumed by night.
what a complaint. what a pathetic state. what a pandemic.
how true he is to his own thoughts, yet unto his actions. deeds. he is unable to perform.
where does he stand in such a circumstance ? how would this blunt arrow pierce into such a wound.
and thus, death surrounds him. of which travels by far and stricken him.
what life this is. to be occupied by such fiends.
tonight, i will say fuck it.
