Memories Remain

Memories remain

if the heart desires.

Uncaptured moment

ain't it more significant?

There is no proof it existed,

just intangible feelings and faith.

You're Like A Book To Me

Pupils dilate by the presence

of a book that caught me

Heart skipped a beat as my hands found

glory when I touched its skin

Lost in a trance when its soothing smell

visits my nostrils

Mind flew high as it speaks

countless possibilities and so

from there I knew

how I fell in love

With you.

Letting Go

In the midst of losing myself

I seek console from a friend,

despite it seldom happens

I'm assured she's there till end.

Opening the gates of sorrow,

to her, I have surrendered.

I'm tired, I told her.

Swiftly, a wisdom she offered.

Sometimes, it's okay

not to swim against the tide.

Her words hit straight to my heart,

and that I cannot hide.

She was right,

I'm holding too tight on a rope.

With the current against me,

I was tired yet scared to let go.

Sometimes, it's okay to wander

your eyes away from the goal.

Letting go isn't equivalent to giving up

but rather,

a way of realization

to take things slow and not lose all.

Grandest Dream

I can still remember

so vividly,

from the past,

my grandest dream.

From that summer night

I've shared to you,

eyes with gleam,

my grandest dream.

I was filled with high hopes

that you'll support,

the ecstatic idea,

my grandest dream.

I can still remember

so vividly,

you called my grandest

an elusive dream.

I'm Still Trying

I've always

wanted to

understand

you.

But,

it looks

as if you

don't want

me to.

Something Familiar

Look at this vibrant child,

that's playing under a tree.

Giving vibes of his future,

that he can bring home victory.

A smile of happiness displays,

on his face so young and free.

This is his time of innocence,

long before he flees.

This phase of life always gives me

the chills of familiarity.

Because all adults were once like him,

just a child full of dreams,

spotless of uncertainty.

Sober

Subconsciousness taking over,

Releasing the innate power.

Although this is happening,

I'm unsure if it's me that's talking.

I'm drunk but declares sober,

That's just me like any other.

It's the game that everyone's playing,

Being caught but still pretending.

Tonight let me release the other,

It's been hidden like forever.

Let this be a temporary remedy,

For my lingering insanity.

Tomorrow let me suffer,

Multiply the thoughts that come over.

No one can escape from reality,

Perhaps that's the real tragedy.

Nobody

The reason why we condemn

Egos exist on our realm

People fighting contentment

Struggling to have acknowledgment

That's how it is

All are born narcissists

Nobody wants to be still

Nobody wants to disappear

Nobody

wants to be

Nobody.

Cold-hearted

Observe and uncover the truth,
Behind the man in a defensive suit.

Take away your ignorance and find a clue,
Save him from yet another feud. 

He is delicate but masked to stay protected, 
Refrain the rumors that he is cold-hearted. 

Stop him from hardening his armor,
And a change you'll find in another encounter.

Lost

Frustrating, humiliating.

The sense of achieving,

deteriorating.

The map is not the same,

the destination changed.

Disturbing discoveries,

no solutions in baggage.

Where is the next stop?

Tell me the next route,

anything to get out.

Same Old Guide

Move forward to get the goal

It doesn't matter if you need to crawl.

Failures are inevitable

They are soon made memorable.

Learn from your mistakes as they say

They will help you the next day

Break free from self resistance

Give yourself a chance

Future lies ahead

Fate will guide you so don't be afraid

The world is not against you

In fact it brings a new day for you to continue.

Mistaken Identity

You are what you think you are.

They are what you think they are.

Do you really know who you are?

Do you really know who they are?

A Little Reminder

Little things you don't see

They have no significance you believed

You urge more for what's not there

Don't blame the world it's unfair.

Little things you forget

Time won't move backwards for your regrets

Rushing your pace to the top

It's like leading yourself to a trap.

Unsolicited

Sometimes

it scares me

how every word

comes out,

from my mouth,

without me

granting it.

Idle

Sleep won't come

My mind relentlessly thinking

Overstressing the unknown

I'll wait for the sun to come home

Long hours of the night

I thought it'll be silent

My brain is still restless

And yet, nothing makes sense.
