We hate that We’re like We but We
wouldn’t change We for the world
though the world changes for itself
other planets uncaringly in its atmosphere

you wouldn’t want no different
than We but you are filled with
questions confusion a volcano
tugging and probing for readjustment

so may try or think We lesser than you
but We hate what We are what We are
We wouldn’t change for your world you
publicize as perfect but tuck sunsets into dawn

We hate what We are. Why are We
like this? Return on character investment
happens before an answer arrives,
that won’t change much anyways.

I wanna do some things tomorrow,
so I need to leave early. I have to go, dear friend.
but don’t turn it off; leave the entertainment in the night

pleasure can rejuvenate, but life will go
time will find its match, while you’ll be here
inundated by pleasure, staggered by intimacy.

let the dark preserve what could’ve been
guard the memories, so each time regret gets too near,
we’ll recline into the night—give life to these moments again

Looking at You

creativewriting, Infatuation, literature, lookingatyou, Lookintomyeyes, poem, poetry, writing

your eyes in mine
we’re pondering each other’s thoughts
we’ve shaken each other’s understanding of life
and we know the dust will never settle

there’s a game made to bring us closer
but i’ve already fallen into the river in your iris
so i hope to always be a part of you, regardless.

let Earth remember us as artists
overwhelmed by passion, so we consume each other
in the tight chamber with royal elephants on the wall;
a forest of sunshine or absolute darkness;
a temple with mirrors on the wall

webs of betrayal bundled inside, connecting our eyes;
galaxy, flavored chocolate.
cobwebs attach—closing the distance between

Hello all,

This is my video for the poem, “I’m Only 25, and”. You can also click on the link below to read the poem. In making this video, I included snippets of my time in Singapore during September of 2021. I dare myself to do things I love, and I’ve been getting happier and happier. I hope you can find a way to be happier as well. Click here, or click above to watch the video. Cheers.

Dead Dreams

creativewriting, deaddreams, literature, poem, poetry

There’s a graveyard in my house.
Dreams in the tears on my pillow;
Dead Dreams of long ago, on my pillow.

Shaking fingers
Chasing strangers
Until,
A trumpet is blown,
A grave is owned

Tear drop.

There are Dead Dreams in my house.
Dreams that have Passed way too long ago
To be Resurrected.

I ponder to myself,
Shovel after shovel:
“I could have held tighter;
It could have lived longer.”

Dead Dreams in my soul
A graveyard on my heart
Crosses, tombstones rising out of my chest.
When I’m sad, I wonder if it is because
There are too many Dead Dreams?
When I’m happy, I wonder if it is because
There are too many spirits?

Dead Dreams in my vessel
Dead Dreams in my house.
My steps are never gentle
For I travel with force

They’re trying to pull me under.

A Friend Named Patience

Patience is a strange thing
you have to wait.
Cause Patience, is a strange thing

Patience is a strange thing
you remain and,
→ you remain and,
→ you remain and
you wait.

As the world goes by;
possibilities troll away;
chances drift at bay;
what should be, becomes
what would be, turns to
what could be

but you never know.

Patience is a strange thing
as time waits for no man,
men wait for time to bring:
an unknown, claimed to be known
an unknown that only Hope would claim
to know.

As you wait with patience,
it soon takes the city bus
to the sunset…
…until it runs short.

Patience is a strange thing
so coil your body.
Do it!
I know you want to
“something to pass the time”
humans evolved not, to be idle

yet, here you are.

Waiting in this abyss
all the possibilities to miss
ignoring that something’s amiss

Patience is a strange thing
sometimes, I just wanna give in,
go about my way.
Sometimes, I will put an extra second

but then I always see Patience,
a cunning fool just being,
on the train downtown,
on the bus going, and thinning.


I wrote this piece as a class assignment in my final year in University, in 2019. It is both one of my bests and one of my favorite pieces. Reading it always leaves a smirk on my face.

A Song To Last

I pray.
For endurance in this brutal road
strength and patience; wisdom and guidance;

if it’s to crawl—
crawl until your nails choose the Earth,
until you fly to the emperors of the sky

I pray.
That you do not pray, beg or bargain
for a different ending

what’s to be, will be
you’re armored for your destiny—
endure your journey.

Trapped

to fly is to have no limits
to dream is to have no limits
to exist, is to have no limits

anger and frustration withholding satisfaction
as the iron chamber closes
and tightens to an inch of breath

scream and scream, “away with death!”
scream for breathing’s sake
dream for living is at stake

freedom oozes out of the ears
like a life evaporating
leaving behind intentions, and tears

dreaming so much
hoping everything is such
but somehow the soul is trapped

imagination is under invasion
filtrated by these dusty gust of wind
falling through gaps between grains of sand

nothing brings freedom.
trapped inside your screaming voice
why dream when reality is surreal


I hope you’re able to find freedom to live your dreams.

Love Your Broken

creativewriting, inspiration, love, loveafterlove, lovepoem, loyalty, poetry, selflove, thebesttypeoflove, writing

there’ll be a Pit on this journey
perhaps a Stop.

an encounter with promises
holding smiles kept broken by deception.

Arrange tables, brush seats
pour relaxation, feed fables
sorry, forgiveness, regrets;
everytime given the obscure choice,
you abandoned your faithful promises.

Look within your heart
fabricate stories far fetched
the reality built in the imagination:
what if I had stayed loyal?
held the promises made to myself?

blames won’t be tossed
grief will be Lost.
After all, these Promises are not the only ones broken.


Inspired by: “Love After Love” – Derek Walcott

Adults in a Playground

The water sprouts with excitement!
I remember the days of my innocence
when cloudy skies were not a metaphor;
an omen to validate pessimist outlooks on life

“Oh! Go play, baby! Mommy will come in a bit”
A leaf falls farther from heaven
reminder of the magic we’ve surrendered
for the repetitive nature of the life we chose;
a machine that doesn’t truly stop moving

Daddy is busy again.
So plant the excitement in the concrete playground
With a distant hope for the blossom of laughter
Although it may be too deep for growth through concrete;
play opportunities, buried by boundaries.
